Great news on mortgages today, surprised to see PSN down. 50 points of its intra day high, i have added a few more.

[kito691] 20/11/2012 19:47

Not sure that this will be perceived as positive news in the morning Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said the U.S. economy faced a series of "headwinds." He cited damage to the U.S. housing sector and mortgage markets, and a sharp tightening in credit.

Yes cr been a rough few weeks would like to see psn stay above £8.00 then build from there !! Like i have said before long term holder from £4.40 in this for the div and growth potential however it's never nice seeing paper profits disappear !!!

[cockneyrebel] 20/11/2012 17:33

A decent day fr most builders today, make a change from recent performance, which is nice.

Bingowing sadly not my trade !!!

[bingowing] 20/11/2012 09:24

£9mill buy went through yesterday.....

[kito691] 13/11/2012 13:37

Yes the dividend on this is very attractive & one of the reasons I hold and will continue to do so ,plus the solid fundamentals of this well ran company give me the confidence for a long term hold plus top ups on the selling dips all round no brainier to me

[charlotteandcressida] 13/11/2012 12:59

KITO691 - agree, looking at the market through the prism of the nearing 'fiscal cliff' is not my perspective, I need dividend yielding shares long term to be able to make my mortgage history. 5 years of PSN will help and that is my minimum hold target...

[kito691] 13/11/2012 10:20

Yes agree with you I'm long term as well , problem is at present with this fiscal cliff fiasco people winding down positions in view of the worst case scenario , as we have seen over and over again these problems always get sorted in the 11 th hour , the worry is the damage they do in the run up Cracking share this with a fantastic divi and major growth potential long term not a worry short term volatileGood luck all holders

[charlotteandcressida] 13/11/2012 08:34

illogical reaction to the statement which read really well to me...here long term with these for the dividend...and capital growth...

[kito691] 13/11/2012 07:53

All looks very positive but agree with you cr we are very much a selling market at present !!!

[cockneyrebel] 13/11/2012 07:48

Agree.

The mkt in general seems weak, dunno what the shares will do - it's an uphill struggle for many stocks with Fisca Cliff on the mids of many imo.

[cockneyrebel] 08/11/2012 08:51

Made most of my profit in PSN buying when it showed this much leg ahead of a trading update.

That big fat cash return comes back into focus nxt week imo.

All imo/dyor etc.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 07/11/2012 15:42

Probably a nice buying opportunity for those wanting to be long before the trading update next week, imo:

[cockneyrebel] 06/11/2012 08:40

Masive margin improvements, higher sales and a thumping great divi is all you need to focus on bingowings, imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 05/11/2012 09:56

Nearly all the builders with trading updates on Nov 12th to 13th.

Could be super time for builders over the coming few weeks imo.

CR

[bingowing] 03/11/2012 16:09

Any tgts here guys?

or just up and by lots?

[cockneyrebel] 02/11/2012 14:37

Just checked the website - Interim Man Statement Nov 13th - same day as the BDEV AGM - that should be fun :-)

[cockneyrebel] 02/11/2012 08:16

Whoosh!

Looks like a nice trading update next week?

CR

[bingowing] 01/11/2012 20:28

CR,

Roger that.

All delayed, worked and broker to broker type trades by the look of it. Firsts of the month, a lot of funds window dress around this time so not sure what they are. Not sells tho, every trade on SETs is both a buy and a sell that match off. Up 2.5% on good volume is a very positive imo.
