Let's see how the DOW opens....

I was expecting more of a dip this am.....

[chesty1] 19/5/2016 12:45

Going blue on a down day... Big strength.

[essentialinvestor] 19/5/2016 12:10

Had hoped to add a few on the market sell off, but the share price hardly budged.

This has 360p written all over it.

Thanks Essential.....

I knew it would turn but thought it would be more of a gradual rise.

Watching the DOW & hoping it flies, could point to another great day tomorrow....

I am in this for the dividend so not sure why I watch it daily....Addiction has taken hold lol...

Be lucky to all

I was just under £2K down last week, so lovely turn around.
Sold a few more at 332.6 before the close.
Picked up a few this morning at under 319.
Expect some big moves in either direction over the next few weeks,
but no way would I have seen SL closing well over 330 today,
that is what keeps markets interesting )

chesty, congrats, nice day for you.

It's one of those days when you don't want trading to finish....Great turn north and way overdue

Imo. Risk reward has slightly reduced today following the Brexit poll. Essential. Definitely worth taking some as the ups and "downs" are bound to continue. Good day for the sector.

[f1araway] 18/5/2016 16:19

Isn't this the norm just as the obligatory purchase of shares for the scrip dividend is due?

[essentialinvestor] 18/5/2016 15:42

Taken a few more off the table, just in case this is a one day wonder,
regardless it is a very nice day.

[essentialinvestor] 18/5/2016 15:13

Best day for awhile, about time.

[chesty1] 18/5/2016 15:07

Vertical....

[essentialinvestor] 18/5/2016 14:24

nick, a couple of pre poll plunge days for wider markets perhaps
to scare some in to the remain camp is what I see.
Nothing like seeing the value of investments decline to concentrate
the mind, turnover as you rightly highlight is key, particularly in the younger u35
demographic.

[nicksoj] 18/5/2016 14:19

Imo It looks likely there'll be some risk reward to the end. I'm sure polls will come in "yes and no" between now and then.The turnout risk will remain. It is a formidable threat to Bremain.I'm also concerned fund flows are suffering at the moment. Perhaps a quarterly update would have given a negative impression that reflects a soundbite over sense?

[essentialinvestor] 18/5/2016 12:30

chesty, would think you will get about a 7% pop on a Stay result,
about - 10% fall on a Leave - just my uneducated guesswork.

[essentialinvestor] 18/5/2016 11:55

The odds are about the widest they have been this morning,
so pleased when this will be over.

Would not become complacent on the short term wider market outlook,
however we can do zip about that, just buy what you think is decent
longer term value.

[chesty1] 18/5/2016 11:15

This could run nicely from this level.

[nicksoj] 18/5/2016 11:01

The super statoes and their 24% brexit probability computation are helping SL.

[essentialinvestor] 17/5/2016 11:22

The sector is interesting atm, I like AV as well, OLM less so,
PRU is quality.

The sector SP's generally get hammered on bad days, most are perhaps best
viewed as buy and forget stocks.

[chinese investor] 17/5/2016 10:58

This has 360p written all over it.

[chesty1] 17/5/2016 10:56

Ah ok I will let you off then lol..

[essentialinvestor] 17/5/2016 10:48

Have kept most, just trade a %.

[chesty1] 17/5/2016 10:40

Essential investor this is going up mate, ride it, not bail out on it.

[chinese investor] 17/5/2016 09:00

Good Start !

[essentialinvestor] 17/5/2016 08:27

Well if this was not higher atm would be very concerned!,
sold a few.
