25/8/2002 13:34 | Starting to look interesting again. | limpsfield chartist | |
15/8/2002 10:05 | tim 3 Still trade it a couple of times a week but I have been focussing more on US shares this year - swing trading them long and short with a 2 week - 2 month time frame. Less stressful for me than trying to jump in and out of the index all the time. FWIW I reckon the S&P could easily run as far as the 1000 area before turning back down - two year+ trend still down for now though I think | limpsfield chartist | |
14/8/2002 21:31 | LC Do you still trade the S&P? miss your posts on the US thread. Tim | tim 3 | |
14/8/2002 21:25 | Trend's still down I reckon Dil - better stuff out there to go long of IMO e.g. WHR, TNB, SVU - loads of good longs in the S&P 500 at the moment imo...how long for I dunno... Regards D | limpsfield chartist | |
14/8/2002 21:13 | Why not reverse Limpy ? | dil | |
14/8/2002 20:08 | Covered the rest today - looking to short any strength back up towards $90 | limpsfield chartist | |
31/7/2002 10:53 | On a different note there's rising volume as the macd trends up; will meet resistance at $73 over the next couple days. Break that and we may have a bottoming and breakout of the recent downtrend since April,, (how many times has that been said before??) | jl202 | |
31/7/2002 10:49 | Compared to the price in 2000 looks like they picked up a bargain. Though its not all roses: I would think they might keep the PwC name for cache, but it seems along with losing all PwC's tech contracts they'll also lose the name's added value as well,, | jl202 | |
31/7/2002 10:30 | Looking at proper valuations around $50 is not unreasonable. Even if you can push the envelope out a but you could reach $70-80 but even at that price it is unattractive as a medium term play. | scripophilist | |
31/7/2002 08:53 | New York Times July 31, 2002 MARKET PLACE I.B.M. to Purchase Consulting Group for $3.5 Billion By STEVE LOHR and JONATHAN D. GLATER I.B.M. announced yesterday that it planned to buy PricewaterhouseCoope I.B.M.'s recovery from its deep troubles of the early 1990's has been based on taking advantage of its broad range of products and services to put technology together to solve the business problems of corporate customers. The services group has been the mechanism, and the marketer, for executing that strategy. "I.B.M.'s competitive edge is to integrate technology for customers," said Steven Milunovich, an analyst at Merrill Lynch. "And this acquisition by I.B.M. is another big move in that direction." For PricewaterhouseCoope For years, some business critics have said consulting and auditing should be separate to eliminate the pressure that auditors might feel in their role as independent accountants of a company's books, if the company was paying the same firm sizable fees for consulting. PricewaterhouseCoope "This really is the culmination of our efforts to move out of businesses that we felt were a conflict," said Samuel A. DiPiazza Jr., chief executive of PricewaterhouseCoope The planned sale of PricewaterhouseCoope With its move, I.B.M. is buying some growth at a time when its revenue is sagging and technology markets are depressed. The consulting and technology services arm of PricewaterhouseCoope I.B.M.'s services unit has grown steadily over the last decade and is now the company's largest single business, generating $35 billion in revenue last year. Its services unit does everything from repairing customers' computers to supplying some or all of a company's information technology needs — hardware, software, networking, maintenance, even training — for a monthly fee, in a process known as outsourcing. I.B.M. has done well in most areas of technology services, but it has less presence in business consulting, where PricewaterhouseCoope "I.B.M. needs to move up the services food chain to get growth in that business," said Tom Bittman, an analyst at Gartner Inc., a research firm. To succeed, I.B.M. will also have to overcome the challenge that trips up so many large mergers in which the corporate cultures of two different enterprises must meld and thousands of people must cooperate. I.B.M.'s global services business employs 150,000 people worldwide, while PricewaterhouseCoope "Strategically, this move makes all the sense in the world for I.B.M.," said David Grossman, an analyst at Thomas Weisel Partners in San Francisco. "But they are buying a people business, taking a private partnership with 30,000 people and putting it into a large diversified technology company." PricewaterhouseCoope The talks between I.B.M. and PricewaterhouseCoope In their talks, Greg Brenneman, the president of PricewaterhouseCoope Executives for other companies, including Hewlett-Packard, said they had been approached in recent weeks by PricewaterhouseCoope Today, in very different economic times, I.B.M. has agreed to pay $3.5 billion — $2.7 billion in cash and the rest in stock and convertible notes. I.B.M. said it would take a charge against earnings of about 30 cents a share in the fourth quarter of this year, mainly to account for the cost of the transaction. In the consulting business, the PricewaterhouseCoope The main reason for buying PricewaterhouseCoope | jl202 | |
22/7/2002 11:19 | shezzalad... thanks for the information. I am not currently in IBM but it was a stock I was watching for a recovery play in the early stages. Its all pretty depressing stuff. Their largest problem is high end sales to corporate clients. I had though that the rest of the sectors were holding up OK... maybe not.... rgds | fse | |
22/7/2002 10:56 | FSE Sorry for my vague statements, but my main reason to short this stock is due to a well informed source who knows IBM have problems that have yet to come to the fore. I'm holding this stock for a few months so I will be able to handle any short-term rally in the share price. The key lies in IBM's sales figures. They are not what they seem to appear on the surface. Any revision to sale figures and forecasts will cause this stock to fall below $60 quite quickly. I had shorted JP Morgan since May when I was told they had severe leverage pressures building up due to their gigantic derivatives exposure. I'm pretty sure the news about IBM will be proved right in the coming months. From a chart perspective, the trend is DOWN since the start of the year. I see that continuing punctuated by rallies in between. | shezzalad | |
22/7/2002 09:49 | shezzalad... do you have some basis for your statement? or is it a guess. IBM look well structured for a recovery to me and at this level are IMHO oversold. | fse | |
18/7/2002 15:55 | Closed half at 72 | limpsfield chartist | |
18/7/2002 11:49 | And the other biggie folks any views on the TA or fundamentals of MSFT? | alchemy | |
18/7/2002 11:47 | I'll be increasing my DEc Future shorts as the price rises. IBM has hidden problems that are still locked up in the closet. | shezzalad | |
18/7/2002 06:59 | Earnings out yesterday I.B.M. Beats Forecasts but With Signs of Weakness Price has held up well this week and looks oversold | limpsfield chartist | |
11/7/2002 08:49 | .....nothing wrong with a bit of cymraeg ! good shout Dai regards bv | big vern | |
11/7/2002 01:47 | Personally, I would never trust an analyst who works for an American organisation that uses the Cymraeg spelling of "Bank": "NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Banc of America Securities analyst Joel Wagonfeld cut his 2003 estimates on International Business Machines Corp. (IBM, news, msgs) and lowered his price target on the stock, to reflect weak information technology spending. In a research report issued Wednesday, Wagonfeld said IBM, Armonk, N.Y., is " not immune to the persistent widespread weakness in IT spending." The analyst, who lowered his price target to $90 from $100, said the company's exit from the hard-disk-drive business, which it announced last month, will offset his estimate reductions....." | limpsfield chartist | |
11/7/2002 00:01 | jazza - did I say there was one? ;O) | m.t.glass | |
10/7/2002 12:11 | IBM have moved losses attributable to it's hard-disk business from the technology segment to the discontinued segment because it is selling it off. Thus improving continued operations (?) Surely this is another enron in the making? :-) These witches don't seem very 'witchy' anymore.... | jazza |
