Gold creeping up slightly as £ falls again. £1014/oz. Euro 1.159 . $1.296 .

Anyone find out why the sudden mark down last Friday ?

[borris1122] 09/9/2016 17:08

A particularly large sell triggered a load of stop losses maybe?? Thoughts on this bouncing back?

[aleman] 09/9/2016 16:12

Shouldn't they have gone into mid-day auction on such a sharp move?

[aleman] 09/9/2016 16:04

I agree. What was that about? Large sale not published yet? (For those who read in years to come, we just has a 10% spike down, followed by a bit of a bounce as it flushed out small buyers. Edit - the bounce has just reversed.)

Some commentary after the interim results.



Next dividend

The directors have approved an interim dividend of 3.9 pence (2015 interim: 3.5 pence). This will be payable on 7 October 2016 to all shareholders on the register at the close of business on 9 September 2016.

That's the 300p resistance taken out in time for Interims tomorrow.

Yes, looks really good.

[thorpematt] 09/8/2016 11:44

Breaking out for new record highs prior to trading statement - this is a good sign.

Chart looks nearly as good as BOO !

The company is perceived as a gold play

The Sterling gold price could soon be back at the 2012-13 level when the share price was well over 300p. This time round we have a company that is debt free and without the inclination to leveraged expansion of the shop estate. That should mean higher or special divis for shareholders.

[spob] 15/7/2016 08:53

There must be rumours of a bid to move the price like this

[aleman] 07/7/2016 07:26

It wins on two counts - gold price and recession. The UK economy has been a bit weaker of late. The only bright spot keeping things spinning has been the property market. I understand that is being affected by the news following the Brexit vote, by which I mean the domestic side and not just doors temporarily closing on big property funds recently. If property slows, we could well be headed for recession, although the fall in gilt yields should mean mortgages get even cheaper so there is a chance weak growth might continue. For now though, I'm told domestic house buyers are nervous and hanging fire.


I've been monitoring for a while and was hoping to buy in nearer £2. I've been switching some stuff around in anticipation of recession and I bought a few tranches of HAT in recent days because I think think Brexit might be enough to tip us over the edge when the economy was already showing some signs of slowing. I have no view on the gold price. I can't know which way the gold price might go. It's always been a bit unpredictable. What spikes up often drifts down again, although the spike in the gold price of late certainly did nothing to put me off my other reasons for buying in. My timing was fortunate as I had not realised there was a trading update today but, then, I lost about 1/3rd of my investment in a matter of weeks in IRV recently so I think I was probably due a bit of luck.

Presumably its one of the few good plays on an increasing gold price. An increasing gold price has a big positive impact on earnings.

[spob] 06/7/2016 19:34

can't find any news

perhaps an influential broker, noticing the sterling price of precious metals, has told clients to load up

[eburne1960] 06/7/2016 17:30

wot's going on 'ere then?

[bruceylegs] 29/3/2016 15:38

Very nice rise today
