Senior Share Discussion Threads

Swimming nicely against the tide today.

OK OK so i know the below is on about ARM but one hopes the same demand for shares would be created for SNR if they can get back into the FTSE 250 :-) just the idea of Tracker funds having to buy back :-) dyor etc

Promotion hopes aid Arm Holdings

Arm Holdings was up 0.8 per cent to 188½p amid hopes the semiconductor designer might replace Cadbury in the FTSE 100.

The takeover of Cadbury could be completed by mid-February and Arm is currently in pole position to take its place in the Footsie. Promotion would create demand from tracker funds for about 25.6m Arm shares, equivalent to more than four days' average volume, analysts said.

ah ok.. cheers :-)

so it looks like a worked order... wonder if the share price will now resume it's upward trend now it's out of the way... i also assume it was a big buy at discount...? time will tell...

then again if it was a large sell then it's good to have that out of the way aswell....

AS far as I know you need to combine i.e:

'N' Non Protected Portfolio
A non-protected portfolio transaction or a fully disclosed portfolio transaction. Normally a transaction of a number of stocks dealt with by one market maker at an agreed discount to the market price.

'T' If reporting a single protected transaction.
A protected transaction occurs when a large order is going through the market. The buyer (or seller) may wish to keep the order anonymous from the rest of the market as the size of the order could greatly alter the price of the stock. With a protected transaction, the dealer will put the trade through in small quantities rather than knock the whole order out in one hit. The entire transaction is reported once the deal is completed. The LSE is notified at the start and at the end of the transaction. However, the market as a whole isn't told until the end, thus the order is protected.

Although those 2 are contrary in a way

Stockadoodle -

cheers but NT and NK trades are not on there?

[carpingtris] 20/1/2010 18:01

540,584k NT shown.... what does NT mean and was it a buy? worth £441,890 so a decent wedge from someone....

[carpingtris] 20/1/2010 14:10

could it now be a case where 'SNR' is of big enough size to fit into the FTSE 250....

so the market will now keep the price in check so that when it's officially back in the FTSE 250 INST's that sold out will be able to buy back in cheaper than they would if they'd just let the breaks off, they can't let this run as they aren't aboard? all them FTSE 250&350 tracker funds will surely not be wanting this price to run away as they have to potentially buy back in....

does that make any sense to anyone, lol

Market was both selling and shorting it. But not quietly. Did the same thing at IMG last week. All rather pathetic.

[leedskier] 19/1/2010 11:27

Being contrarion, I bought more yesterday.

The financial crisis currently befalling JAL is clearly more bad news for the airline industry generally, but may have a 'silver lining' for other carriers, including ANA as Boeing 787's first customer.

[carpingtris] 18/1/2010 10:14

Dreamliner, seems all is going well thus far....

[stockadoodle] 18/1/2010 09:26

Fair enough RC but its not just all about the RSI & charts for me personally. It could be interpreted as a signal that SNR is in a new trend/pattern. There is a lot more to this than just signals. The RSI SELL signal on its own is currently (IMO) just too obvious. It has given this exact same signal before as well.

If you traded this purely on RSI alone you should have sold a few weeks back (& lost about 20% of the gains you banked today)

Thats the beauty of charts. We all interpret them differently & to suit our own positions at that moment in time. Yesterday's chart always seems so different when you look at it today! We ever like to be wrong.

I am more interested in what happens when this one gets back into the FTSE. This was sold down like a dog by the funds last year with no mercy shown at all!!!

Anyway my day beckons. Good luck all whatever your position may be.

[carpingtris] 18/1/2010 09:16

I personally don't see how you can use charts at all on a stock that was smashed down during the global crash unjustly imo.... charts wouldn't have helped then and i don't think they'll prove much help for now during the recovery stage.

The future here looks bright... what with a possible return to the FTSE 250 and the Dreamliner project being online.... what does your charts say about all that... a return to circa 60p is just not gonna happen. AIMHO

[rcturner2] 18/1/2010 09:08

Stock - all understood of course. However you state in black and white "All the technicals are still saying BUY though" - post 1637. I really cannot agree with that statement. The RSI 14 and RSI 40 are most definitely not indicating a buy.

[rcturner2] 18/1/2010 08:45

Stock - that was pretty much the chart I looked at this morning and it said sell to me. The action from the beginning of december is pure overbought. RSI touching 90 ffs? I see a pretty quick return to 60p.

[rcturner2] 18/1/2010 08:42

lol - if you have been in the thread for a while then you can see my calculation above about the likely value. Shares are all about opinions. Each to their own. I think there has been a fairly long run of retail investment broadly in shares (not just SNR). That is always a good sell indicator.

[stockadoodle] 18/1/2010 08:40

I too have been worried about the RSI but every time it seems to have just settled, consolidated & then did another run higher. I am holding long term now. See where we are 6 months from now. It may go up/down but long term this company IMO is SOLID & that is what is important. Cash is KING

All the technicals are still saying BUY though

I would guess the reason is he sold and it will hurt if they go higher.

[greenunder] 18/1/2010 08:33

RCTurner2-Please justify your reason for 60p -personally I was thinking more like 130p.

[carpingtris] 18/1/2010 08:11

RCTurner2 -

fair value about 60p? lmao, how did you come up with that figure (based on what)?

[rcturner2] 18/1/2010 08:07

I have sold today for 3 times my money in under 12 months. I think that the run they have enjoyed recently is not sustainable. I put fair value about 60p. RSI which I use shows extremely overbought at the current level.

[leedskier] 15/1/2010 21:32

One of the things that I like is that the company does not have to keep posting RNS to keep the market onside. It just quietly does what it seems to do best, producing the numbers.

[mazarin] 15/1/2010 19:28

Carp' - totally agree and done just as well even when the FTSE's wandered south every now and again.
