Officials are testing midges to establish the extent of bluetongue infection after the first ever case of the disease was found in a British animal.
The disease was discovered in a cow on a petting farm near Ipswich, Suffolk. The virus is spread through livestock by midges.
Bluetongue is the latest menace to British farm animals, which are still threatened by foot-and-mouth disease. |
Breaking thru' the 50-day MA at 6-quid will be important, imo. Getting the other side of the 200-MA will be evn more significant. This now shows we could be on the next tranche of advancement. Check out the volume today.
Snapshot just now: |
was those results expected just bought in |
There's a 14-day free trial. The scanning gets me real power positions and decent swing trades. Add the indicators to usual entry scripts etc and you have a double result. I'm not joking, it's fantastic. Ask them for a demo on-line. The last guy i told about it got a demonstration on-line where he watched them do scans etc. It is very easy and picks the ones on the floor or topping out.
They also do seminars etc showing tricks on the pro trades. I've been trading 20 years so I haven't been on them as i know most of the pro trades like trading the opening etc, but I know they do in depth courses showing proper old school technical trading too.
The program finds the ones that I used to spend hours and hours checking each chart in turn for correct pattrens etc, yet it gives simple indicators. Just give it a go. Free trial is still valid, I'm sure. Not sure their tel number but check out www.mdstrader.com.
Good luck. |

Which market Analyser? I am not a trader, more of a long term holder of interesting (either tech or resource) companies, but would like to have a method of scanning the whole market to seek out new prospects. |
Breaking 6 quid was good. I'm up 20% already. Nearly 25%. I'm long 'til 7-quid. I may run a stop loss as the big 'hammer the bottom out' was last Friday. Look what they did. They did that to take the stops out then. Just look at the gap, up thru' the 20 and 200 day MAs.
I go by my charts. The buy signals are fantastic. It's up to you to watch for taking profits, but this one looks good for 7 quid again imo.
Get yourself the Market Analyser, it scans the markets for the best trades. |
Sorry Eric - is that good or bad ? Do you expect it to be filled ie upwards? |
Look at that gap over the weekend... |
Now breaking the 20MA. Thru' 6quid next... |
I do think there is alot of blue sky in the Genus price, but I do like this one.
I reckon the price was driven back up to 600p for another advance on Friday 10th, but the market soon sorted that the following week.
The buy sign then came with the TP & indicators and then a doji/neutral candle on 17th.
Now the price is struggling to break thru' the 20-day moving average (see snapshot chart below). If it does that, which i think it will, then that's another buy signal. Next resistance would be the 50-day and 200-day MA, which are both going to be together on 600p. When it breaks thru' that it should continue to previous highs. In my opinion, etc. |
Well done wassapper, totally agree, the correction has provided a superb entry point- i managed to get in just below 500p. (488) |
Well I've joined you - Genus is incredibly well placed in what is an ever growing global market. This correction offers a good time to enter, even if there this a further drop. |
Its not buy for at least 3 more weeks! FMD + American market + European markets= dangerous combination!! I reckon this has further to fall. I sold out at £6.20 but will be back at £5.20 or below but not buying unless we see some consistent up days. |
A screaming buy now...?
Support line broken on market sentiment...? |
Difficult for the company to do the 'right' thing here. If they say nothing everyone will assume the worst - if they make an announcment it looks like thay are being too defensive! I think there is no doubt that if this foot and mouth outbreak worsens it will be bad for the company - in the short term at least. |
2001 outbreak had an imense impact- the share price hit the floor and their profits took a hit. If I remember correctly the share price was sub 120. The price today opened 10p down and i would expect a further slide over the next 2 weeks. |
Genus says UK foot and mouth outbreak to have no measurable impact on business
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Genus PLC, the multi-species global genetics
company, said the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease confirmed in Great
Britain last Friday will have no measurable impact upon its business.
It also said that only 14 pct of its turnover is in GB animal-related
business.
It clarified that all of its GB breeding stock facilities are located far
from the source of the outbreak.
However, it has further enhanced its "already high" bio-security procedures
and will keep the situation under constant review.
The company added that the ravaging 2001 outbreak had no adverse impact on
the business and since then it has developed both geographically and in species.

Yes, dvarty, I too made the mistake of taking some profits at £5. Chart still looks strong. It would seem that the FT was going to run a story about GNS today but then pulled it; the companies index shows "Genus - page 20". I turned the pages in excitement but nothing there. It may be on-line - anyone got a subscription? |
Talking to myself on here!
Good share though! High Div and spectular profit since FMD.Bought in at £1-55 and taken profits twice! |
Why the sudden drop??? |
house broker ups target to 740p |
broken out to new high today |
this has been ticking up nicely pre results on Mar 13 |
That Was The Week That Was ... In Soft Commodities
By Sally White
Speculative interest in commodities has definitely slowed, according to US investment bank Morgan Stanley, with net inflows to commodity-linked mutual funds totalling US$107million so far this year, against US$3.8 billion for the same time of 2005. However, with the International Monetary Fund's latest commodity study showing that speculative positions follow commodity price movements, not the other way around, there is still potential running in a number of the soft commodities with a fundamental supply shortage. ... more .... |
