On line limits are in the region of 5k to sell @ 70.5 and 1k to buy @ 72.85

[scumdog] 22/2/2006 12:54

Can reasonably expect this to reach 90p.

[goonertone] 22/2/2006 10:55

the last bit of the rise was 5000 trade from moi

[siwel100] 22/2/2006 10:54

Fell 100p on penny volume, going back up the same way.

[bletherer] 22/2/2006 10:52

This is hilarious - up again and this time I'm not seeing any trades at all registering. I wish investing was always this easy.

LIke you I haven't really got anything to add over and above what I have said previously just keeping the board ticking over. Though saying that when I get a minute I will post my valuation which I don't think I got round to posting.

As for having TA and skills in the same sentence I think is a first. More of a value investor but the more normal TA stuff like trend chanells, flags, filling gaps, breakups and downs I get as its all about Physchology but as for the rest well candlesticks are for romantic evenings (or Cluedo depending on your mood),waves are for surfing and as for golden crosses it sounds like something out of a dodgy porno.

goonertone re: post 171. No it's not just the two of you. However, I don't have anything to add to any of my previous posts. It will be interesting to see if your TA skills are accurate though ;o).

Didn't have a problem with She-ra. Thought he/she raised valid points. Just disagreed with timelines and also he/she tended to gloss over arguments once a valid point had been made against her arguments.

Prefer to have a two way discussion if possible as a continual love in gets boring.

I don't necessarily think this is going to recover to its earlier glory but I do think that the handling of stock etc for other companys will be profitable and as long as the high street offering can be made to break even then the company is well undervalued.

How it adapts to the changes in technology in the long term only affects whether this is a short to medium term play or a long term play.

Personally I think it's healthy to have someone offering a dissenting view. I confess to having held HHO and when Kelvin Mackenzie took over the few remaining pessimists on the BBs took a lot of stick. Turned out none of them was pessimistic enough...

[siwel100] 21/2/2006 13:56

She-Ra was a plonker

[goonertone] 21/2/2006 13:55

And there was me thinking we were just starting to bond and get a bit of repartee going!!

[scumdog] 21/2/2006 13:44

She-ra's gone quiet!!

[goonertone] 21/2/2006 13:09

Is it just the two of us now?

I can't believe that more people haven't poked there nose in for a look rouns, maybe we should add oil to its name.

Oh well I'm happy as long as it keeps plodding upwards.

Still tight this morning by the looks of it

Can sell 5000 @ 64 but only buy 3000 @ 68

[bletherer] 20/2/2006 17:54

Well, we got our close above 65p, though the more conservative technicians like to see a 2-day close just to be sure it's not a bull trap. I'm tempted to get some more now but I usually come unstuck when I try momentum investing so I may just stick with what I've got. I sure as hell am not selling.

[goonertone] 20/2/2006 16:16

Volume may be showing as negligible but

a)10000 of today is broker to broker and therefore the actual trades behind these tansactions are yet to show.(the 7500 had nowt to do with it as it was mine placed after the first m trade)

b)If the calc's on holdings is correct then small volumes become large percentages of the free float.

GT

[bletherer] 20/2/2006 16:03

Volume remains negligible but then it was much of the time on the way down, too. We do not necessarily need high volume to sustain a rally, though of course it would help...

[goonertone] 20/2/2006 15:51

And theres another one.

[goonertone] 20/2/2006 15:23

Can't say I can remember the last time I was described as Erudite..........probably never.

[bletherer] 20/2/2006 14:44

GT - I suspect it will get noticed if the share price does what it looks like it's poised to do. I usually just use the ticker, and the typical "X ABOUT TO ROCKET TO 1000p" header gets a bit tiresome, frankly - I quite like the oddity of this one. At least it has the charts, which is the main thing - apart from the erudite comments of contributors such as yourself, of course... ;-)

[goonertone] 20/2/2006 14:29

Pity about the name of the thread. Doesn't exactly attract attention to the share, is it possible to change the name of the thread?

Or if anybody is able a new thread for the new year might be the answer with links in the header to choices uk website and choices tv.

I'm not being lazy but as She-ra righly pointed out I am a bit of a Neandrathal.

[bletherer] 20/2/2006 12:18

It made an intraday high of 65p last December. A close above that and we should be flying - I see little in the way of resistance before 95p and the combination of the long uninterrupted downtrend and the very tight supply of shares makes me suspect that any upmove could be very sharp.

[goonertone] 20/2/2006 12:05

Now weve got M trades going through.

This stock is now so tight that any sort of buy is going to push it up, IMHO.

I don't claim to be a great technician but if we finish above about 63 we then have a gap to fill up to 88.

Not on anyones radar as yet if the messageboard levels are anything to go by, just how I like it. Get in before the crowd.

Article re redundancies, read into it what you want.

[goonertone] 19/2/2006 14:03

He seems to be a very knowledgeable ex worker!!!!!

Redundancies caused by lack of work are worrying but redundancies due to a worry about something that might happen, I don't buy it.

The EPOS system that was installed should have led to improvements in stock management and may well have led to the indentification of areas where more efficient stock ordering/distribution can be implemented thus leading to a need for less staff in the warehouse.

We already know from the interims that they are in the middle of shutting down several loss making stores.

It looks to me like Anthony Skitt has been steadily reviwing the business since his appointment as MD and this is just a continuation of this review.

Alternatively sales may be worse than we realised and they have made a decision based on this and there views on the effect of the world cup etc.

GT

As I understand it Cross trades are a straight swap between two stock exchange members, ie one sale and one buy, at a single price that only requires one trade to be listed. At a guess from the trades one MM got a buy order for 15000 shares which he couldn't fill and did a deal with another who had stock or a seller waiting for 18670 shares. Thus the x trade and then buy slightly later.

X trades and b trades tend to appear in shares where liquidity has dried up and the MM has to shop around to fill an order as there is no ready supply of shares coming to market.
