Schroders upping stake

Well I suppose indirectly, they're getting paid because a lot of people are unable or unwilling to make up their own minds and that will include both pi's and quite a few fund managers. If you can refer to someone else to justify your action, that 'shares' the responsibility for the result.

Although its pretty insignificant compared to the totally misleading 'news' about the stock market that appears on TV.

Like featuring a 1% drop in the FTSE, when its already tanked by 25% in the previous 2 years. Or a jump when its already gained 100%. Quite pathetic and it encourages naieve pi's to invest or divest at the wrong time.

I wonder how many sold instead of buying when the morning news said 'lowest point for 5 years' during 2003 or the recession. Or vice-versa.

You could think it was a conspiracy, but actually its just pure ignorance imo.

Pets at Home was the standout gainer as Stifel, which rates the stock at 'hold', updated its estimates to reflect a recent trend toward improved merchandise sales growth and greater margin investment. It also upped its price target on the stock to 175p from 172p.

[john09] 09/1/2018 13:50

Lots of stocks making good moves up today I have several up. Or maybe the shorters have taken a day off or maybe the city is hearing about a good Xmas trading at pets

[maximus57] 09/1/2018 13:49

Why such a big jump today on such little volume? Expectation of good news maybe

Well if they've been resilient over Christmas then some of the worry money in other retailers might find its way over.

There have certainly been a lot of fancy dog coats being worn in the park in the last few weeks.

The shooters are clearly still in control. PE is around 12 and yield around 4.5% last time I checked. Growth story is in the vets and groomers

[alibx11] 02/1/2018 15:07

Yep back to normal...

[john09] 02/1/2018 12:55

The city boys are back in the office

[john09] 29/12/2017 15:32

Have we finally got clear of that £1.60 low? Hopefully onwards and upwards from here

[john09] 22/12/2017 11:32

It’s because the city boys are all on holiday so not holding it back. We should have a good week next week too on the days the market is open

Nice to see this getting its head above the 20 day.

[john09] 21/12/2017 09:37

Actually I stand corrected it would be a 3rd up day on a row. Little chance given the shorters but let’s see
