strong sell on chart

[tramsteer] 27/5/2002 13:30

Will SXC go to 800P Ans yes, but then straight back to 750 ish then another go at 800. Who knows how many pushes it will take, and it may turn down on a l/t basis.

Be happy buy at 750 and sell at 790 (after at 800 failure).

Regards John

old news I'm afraid. The price is depressed because analysts are worried that the company would spend the £1bn on a rash acquisition.

A share purchase would remove this uncertainty.

[flackwell] 24/4/2002 14:30

Did anyone see an article recently - I think in the FT - that the company may buy back about £1billion of stock??

[yorke] 16/4/2002 20:18

pkvidean,

Thanks - I saw your post on the other thread. I was wondering just high this one could go. 800 seemed like a short term peak, repeating the run it's had over 6 months or so. I shall be staying with this one. Thanks for your help.

[pkvidean] 16/4/2002 19:51

yorke,

After checking my records, I may have been a little optimistic with 980p+ for SXC (see other thread) as P/E offered in FT is not altogether accurate and earnings expectations are lower than I previously thought. Apologies, but my revised target is still 927.25p.

IMHO.

I wondered why there was little interest in this on the BB. SXC seem to have had a good run lately - anyone see them going to 800p?

[pkvidean] 31/3/2002 15:30

SXC looks good for about 980p+ (probably in Q2 2002) and I recently switched from HG. on valuation grounds. Like both stocks but SXC traded off 18.8 (at best) in Q2 1999 and I cannot see why this should not be replicated in 2002, particularly as the economic recovery is beginning to look genuine and the switch to cyclicals almost looks nailed on. SXC currently trading off 12.9 so a re-rating to a measly 17 would result in a share price of 984.5p. IMHO. DYOR.

Sham, anyone, do you reckon a close below 700 would be significant? I've lost count of the number of times Six has been marked up and then dribbled off again recently.

[sham3001] 23/1/2002 08:38

About to turn down again.

[freeenterprise] 17/1/2002 09:27

Just noticed this activity on QMOT, does this mean anything. Anyone interested in SXC or Hilton your comments would be welcome as to where you consider the share price in recovery mode.MM Buying Activity EPICStock NameChange%CurBidOfferTrd.PriceSizeTypeTimeQueens Moat CON-0.25-3.2%7.57.257.57.5250,000M8:44:00Queens Moat CON-0.25-3.2%7.57.257.57.5100,000M8:44:00Queens Moat CON-0.25-3.2%7.57.257.57.5250,000M8:43:00

Having spoken to a 'contact' I would be interested in views relating to the 'failed' Hilton purchase of QMOTs german hotels and in particular the effects that such a bid would have on SXC share price. SXC have indicated they have a nice war chest.

See old news item

Have noticed that a certain bank has been keeping QMOT shares inline and that the shares are still at 0811 + foot and mouth.

[firemangee] 08/1/2002 00:24

Why the sudden charge this morning? any ideas?

[sham3001] 07/1/2002 18:57

Buy recs on sector as follows;


Hotels Rise

Hilton Group Plc led hotel companies higher after UBS Warburg said it adopted a ``more positive sector stance'' and expects the global economy to recover at the end of this year and in 2003.

Hotel companies are also undervalued and will face less competition as less new hotels will be opened in the near future, said Claire Ward, an analyst at UBS Warburg.

``This year is going to be the worst in earnings and we expect a recovery after that,'' Ward said in an interview.

Hilton Group (HG/ LN) increased 1.3 percent to 228.25p after earlier rising as much as 6 percent. Europe's No. 2 hotel operator was raised to ``strong buy'' from ``hold.'' Ward raised her price target on the stock to 267p from 186p.

Six Continents Plc (SXC LN) advanced 3 percent to 736p. The operator of Holiday Inn hotels was raised to ``strong buy'' from ``buy'' at UBS Warburg. The price forecast was lifted to 848p, from 824p.

SXC (home of empty hotels) finally breaking down.

[simonlongster] 11/12/2001 14:43

Thanks sham

[sham3001] 11/12/2001 14:08

simon - check out the thread under the symbol DROP

maintaining shorts on CCH,CBRY,COB & SXC
watching WPP v.closely (v.volatile-has been known to cause sleepless nights amongst short sellers)

SXC now comfortably below its 150 day m.a.

[simonlongster] 09/12/2001 18:45

sham3001 - you make some valid points and I will watch and short once
it turns. Are you shorting anything else ?. Have a look at GNK for a short
has broken out of its normal trading range (655-701) now 718 to sell but
RSI of 80 and it normally turns when RSI 70. I'm not short but will be.

I am with those that say that stocks have gone up too quickly post-Sept. 11th
and very soon - maybe after Xmas everything will turn nasty again.

Interested in your comments.

[sham3001] 07/12/2001 13:19

Hilton today announced continued massive unoccupied room rates. No recovery in sight.

SXC is up on pre Sept 11th results euphoria and bullish (who'd a thunk it?) statement from the company. They are about to dilute their balance sheet with an expensive takeover at the worst time possible for the industry.

MAINTAIN SHORT

[mongrol] 07/12/2001 13:14

I hope your right. I bottled it before results and sold out the day before. Make it go back down so I can get back in for the divi. :)

[mongrol] 07/12/2001 00:51

Do you realise that the only people who you could possibly fool into selling with your dismal attempt at deramping are the very same people who wouldn`t be able to understand the sentence you`ve just written and wouldn`t have a clue what "looks like a short" actually meant.

[sham3001] 06/12/2001 16:19

Mongrol.

This stock trades so much volume neither of us could have any effect on the stock price.

I genuinely believe in my short position. Their hotels are suffering post Sept 11th syndrome & they are about to dilute their cash rich balance sheet with an untimely takeover.

Thanx for your opinion. I was beginning to believe no one at ADVFN cared for or against this sucker.

[sham3001] 06/12/2001 16:19

p.s. like the name (Mongrol)

[sham3001] 06/12/2001 09:10

Anyone follow this beast? Hotel revenues are abysmal since Sept 11. Scared yanks have vacated their hotels and travel plans. They are about to use their cash rich balance sheet to buy a v.dilutive rival.

SHORT ME
