Miata,
Your last chart of the US dollar was useful, is there any chance you can post one which can automatically updates itself on the top please?

[miata] 13/12/2006 10:17

Answer 71%.

Only 29% of HSBC's profit comes from Europe, 34% comes from North America, 21% from Hong Kong, 13% from Asia Pacific and 3% from South America.

Just bought some more at 915. Got all I want now. Will start trading a few batches from now, always assuming the bloody thing moves North as well as South. Only gone one way since early November.

Miata,
Talking about the dollar, how closely is HSBA be related to it?

[miata] 13/12/2006 09:17

More dollar weakness following the FOMC.

[jezboy1] 12/12/2006 16:45

Yea - GSK has caught my eye, given it seems to be treading water at the moment,
so I am waiting for a definite breakout signal, rather that bottom fishing
like I did over here :-)

good luck!

'Lo Jez. Bought quite a few of these over the past week. Not traded any yet. Picked up some on this afternoon's dip. Glad to see it's coming back. Out of BARC now, rolled the profit over here. Also building up a holding in GSK. Got a feeling that one will be on the move soon. Heaviest exposure as always is BP! Don't ask me why.

[jezboy1] 12/12/2006 16:10

Hi penycae - yep they keep trying to knock this one down, but it seems
to have some support.

Starting to act a bit like BP - i.e., a day-traders share bouncing
around 915-925.... (BP = 575-585)

hope you enjoyed your BARCs gains, was little hesitant shorting and now
I am annoyed....

[madam a] 11/12/2006 17:26

Up 7.5p, it was a positive close. Looking forward to tomorrow.

[jezboy1] 11/12/2006 15:47

924 seems to be our resistance atm

[madam a] 11/12/2006 11:40

The MACD showed a small sign of recovering, is it due to the eyes of the beholder?
It would be more re-assuring if it can reach 926p, hopefully today.

[miata] 11/12/2006 11:09

Its more about the, temporary (?), strengthening of the dollar $1.97+ on Friday, $1.95 now.

[jezboy1] 11/12/2006 11:04

I agree with you madam a, was just trying to work out why we fell.

See things are bit better today - the news about China must be good surely?
(ta Miata)

[miata] 11/12/2006 09:17

The China Banking Regulatory Commission has accepted the application submitted by HSBC for registration on the Chinese mainland, the company said Sunday.

[arja] 11/12/2006 08:31

hard to believe but we are moving up ! chart shows it may have hit the bottom and support level !!

[cantremeberthis] 10/12/2006 15:07

Long @ 9.20 ;)

Oversold and shorted.

[jezboy1] 08/12/2006 21:59

Hey john

well if you follow larry's advice - at least you're never be disappointed.

Bit of a worry for next week given more banks are reporting and if they
have further bad news the sector will carry on drifting downward
dragging HSBA with it. This has happened to me before (when will I learn?)
when I have picked an unloved share in a sector thinking it had hit
rock bottom only for it to get a further fall by other shares in
the sector getting kicked and a general downturn in the market as well!!

Funny how that happens, my share picks never seem to go up when there is
good news for other companies but sure as hell go down when the reverse is true!

ah well - worse things happen at sea.

Hi Ken,

Yes, wouldn't it always be nice to be sure about the winners.

I was sure about a share this year ASD. It tanked and I lost my underwear!!

I remember reading a Larry Williams book 'Long Term Secrets to Short Term Trading' and he reckons you're better to go into a trade convinced you are going to lose money than go into a trade convinced you're going to make money.

I sort of understand his sentiment. Sort of.

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

John

Assuming a final total dividend of about 46p with the current shareprice the yield is about 5%.

With a bit of luck and perhaps a spot of pretty fly hedging a target of 15% per year should be attainable trading Hsbc shares.

[d s patterson] 08/12/2006 20:15

Looking at the long term chart hsbc definately has a habbit of losing 10% on quite a regular basis the price looks to behave differently to many other large cap stocks. As to whether to buy now or not is another question, let's assume the dollar won't tank completely and the quarterly dividend keeps comming and hsbc would look like a reasonable home for some money.

[madam a] 08/12/2006 19:02

Jezboy1,
I found the Egypt statement alright. Did I miss anything there?

[kenbachelor] 08/12/2006 17:35

Sell LLOY & BARC and buy HSBA. It seems quite an attractive suggestion, but I wish I was sure.

[miata] 08/12/2006 17:29

We had two reactions today. Jobs numbers at 13:30ET which weakened the dollar and therefore HSBC and Michigan sentiment numbers at 15:00ET which strengthened the dollar and hence HSBC.
