Another chart possibility based upon a bit of share price crabbing sideways


free stock charts from uk.advfn.com

The above could occur IMO if the previous red channel support failed


best of luck with this financial

Sorry, you said a company with 4.63p EPS drops by half of 10p, i.e. 5p, it would become loss making. Did you go to Harvard business school? PHD in mathematics?

Also did you just reference yourself in the third person? The cringe is hard with this one

[rdh21] 05/8/2020 07:49

so Buywell, you're saying if a company with an EPS of 5p, reduces its EPS by 10p, it'll be loss making? What an insight.

[bountyhunter] 05/8/2020 07:45

buywell is in a bubble of one here, I'm expecting this to rise today on these results given the tough environment over the last few months

[p0pper] 05/8/2020 07:44

buywell, maybe but still earning and this has been by far the worst quarter so far with big banks, car firms, airlines etc etc all recording billions and billions in losses so overall a good set of results

[scepticalinvestor] 05/8/2020 07:44

and yet OP is up?#pulling at straws

[bountyhunter] 05/8/2020 07:44

Yes solid results ahead of peers with a maintained Divi.

[lord gnome] 05/8/2020 07:41

Given the circumstances, this is a sound set of results. Happy with the maintained dividend.

[buywell3] 05/8/2020 07:39

Earnings per share has dropped considerably to 4.63p

From a comparable 14.66p 6 months 2019

Another drop of even half of that 10p in the next 6 months and this will IMO be loss making

[scepticalinvestor] 05/8/2020 07:08

not bad - OP up, divi maintained

[scepticalinvestor] 04/8/2020 21:49

ah fair point.am long toogl!

[milliethedog] 04/8/2020 20:42

Yes, i get that; to 'balance' the books.

But just thought it was unusual that 'auction' trades outnumbered open market trades
Especially as results tomorrow

Good luck all; am long mysels from 207

You realise what the UT is?It is not and should not be classed sell trade per se bit an exchange.

[milliethedog] 04/8/2020 20:13

Trades before results tomorrow...
Buys during normal trading hours (ie; before 4.30pm) were 2.8m
After the market closed, so in the 'auction', Buys another 2.4m

With the sells it was 2.6m during open market
Then a whopping 6.1 m shares sold in the auction....

O trades & UT trades mainly......but that seems like a lot of sells after hours to me

Not sure what to read into that!!

DLG up 10%

[scepticalinvestor] 04/8/2020 10:41

should see a substantial rise on results imo

[poikka] 03/8/2020 20:11

"Good news released a short while ago about Legal and General directors buying own shares. They are going to rocket tomorrow!!"

That's quite usual at the start of the month, I really wouldn't read anything into it.

[williamcooper104] 03/8/2020 19:47

I go with the no investment should break you bit That and always knowing before you buy a stock at what level you are going to throw in the towel and sell

[rs34] 03/8/2020 19:22

Good news released a short while ago about Legal and General directors buying own shares. They are going to rocket tomorrow!!

[npp62] 31/7/2020 09:20

That's a good point. But I go with no single investment should make you or break you... Each to their own.

[williamcooper104] 30/7/2020 23:26

Yep - if they can creditably keep the divi then has to head north - but could easily fall further short term on what's going to be v volatile markets
