Will they let us know what was the outcome in the agm via a rns ??

[21ant] 31/7/2019 21:42

I’ve said it for a while now. Poor management at the moment and lots of disengaged staff clearly not a priority to Graham. He may have big ideas but I’m pretty convinced he didn’t research this business or it’s people well enough when he started - bull in a china shop springs to mind.Oh well if it falls much further and they oust him it may be a good buying opportunity 🤔

What caused the drop today. Brexit gloom or AGM news?

[kendonagasaki] 31/7/2019 13:41

Summer for bikes is a washout going by the weather.Looking bumpy for top line in next set of results.

[stupmy] 30/7/2019 16:06

Maybe, I have little conviction in direction at the moment. I'd prefer it end the day about 195, below that and 188 does seem to come into play.

[kendonagasaki] 30/7/2019 10:13

1.88 coming!

[tim 3] 26/7/2019 14:01

Not trading it in for the longer term but a very small punt to test the water.

[stupmy] 26/7/2019 10:58

I closed 30%. Wondering if we'll get a pullback into the close today. I think there will be plenty of time to trade this.

[tim 3] 26/7/2019 09:04

Small purchase this morning.

[stupmy] 26/7/2019 08:47

It's held so far. If it doesn't then 188 may act as last gasp support (low from january 2019). Taking into account the divi. I'm sitting at b/e here. All profit should there be a rise above 206.

[tim 3] 26/7/2019 08:36

£2 area is massive multi year support should provide decent support imo.

[rathean] 25/7/2019 10:05

I have my passive income investments Inc. a special from CINE last week, VOD etc... my HFD purchase is from my active trading pot... need to keep things interesting :)

[wynmck] 25/7/2019 09:22

but you missed the 12.39p divi so you're back in at same level you sold at/excluding costs

[rathean] 25/7/2019 09:06

Glad I sold out at 213 for a marginal loss, back in this morning at 201. Going to sit on my hands for a while now, I see circa 225 as fair value assuming the bod don't drop a clanger all imo dyor ofc.

[stupmy] 25/7/2019 08:12

Well divihas been paid, that's a big divi. I've bought some shares after divi payment. Price was about 202. I'm nervous about it, particularly since my charts are not displaying accurate data on HFDs today.

[stupmy] 23/7/2019 08:09

technowiz I have 199.3 as the previous low on Jan 10th. That might act as support. Slow but relentless falls so far.

[technowiz] 22/7/2019 23:43

be careful stupmy, if 203p breaks before or after dividend date then hard hat time. who knows how low this will go.

[stupmy] 22/7/2019 13:31

Ex divi on Thursday. Volume is low and buying is even lower. I'm hoping it's not a value trap at these levels. I'd rather not have too much opportunity cost. I've not changed my position for the moment.

[rathean] 22/7/2019 13:02

Opened a position at 214.68. Technically looks interesting, yield very high although expecting that to be reduced along with pivot of strategy. Flat sales priced in, overhang from Brexit shenanigans all impacting share price imo dyor ofc.

[poikka] 11/7/2019 18:16

I noticed that, too.

Don't want her back, thanks. Sho helped herself to a special divi before she left here, saddling us with a load of debt that we didn't really want.

Good riddance.

[ashbox] 11/7/2019 16:40

I see our ex Jill McDonald has been given the boot at M&S. Was always a bit of a strange appointment.

[gswredland] 11/7/2019 08:33

Ok thank you

[stupmy] 10/7/2019 16:51

I'm not looking to hold for a long period of time. Rather I trade up and down on the swings. So I have 2 positions. One around 221 and one I just added of the same size around 218. At the current time there is either 'no trend' (moving sideways) or you could consider price remains in a downtrend (although we have had higher lows and higher highs on the daily chart so it may bottoming out). That means that price is moving up and down currently within a defined and tradeable range. I use a 2 hour chart to enter and leave my trades. I think the 2 hour chart suggests a move up, it may not be big but I think it's likely to exceed my position at 221. If I thought a swing high was forming. I'd drop that position at a small profit (223ish seems like a decision point). Judging by the daily chart there is a gap that starts at 240ish and ends at 275ish (see first link). Gaps often close. Today's price action has finished with a hammer (which is sometimes a sign of a reversal; that would support a move to the upside, although price often drops down first but not below the lower candle wick). It's easy to identify a stop (either below today's low or below the low on Jan 10th, so the risk is contained.



Looking at the 2-hour chart, there are some odd candles (quite frequent). These start at their low point for the period and bought up from there (accumulation?). Mostly, price continues to rise after the period close after one of these candles, particularly when the 14 3 3 stoch confirms above (20 (end of period) as it has here. Price has not yet broken the short term tl resistance (blue line).



I wouldn't say I'm confident, I'm just trading my interpretation about what is happening with the price.

[gswredland] 10/7/2019 16:14

Stupmy why do you feel so confident? Technical reasons?
