Posted at 25/12/2000 00:41 by taximania Stew - Very often no believe it or not! a case in point this week that springs to mind would be BPB (bought at 211 about three weeks ago)went through it's ex date and kept up it's steady rise but nothing about the co has changed it's just that it's been too cheap (WH did the same). When the price does drop it often happens a few days after the ex date maybe people get confused between ex and record?. As regards divis next two on my list are airtours ( can be picked up on a bad day for 195)divi of 9p soon & less of a sure thing Enodis(13p)i would be very suprised if either of these two drop by the amount of the divi although you need to go in fairly heavy to make it worthwhile! maybe 5k or so. Re my previous point my computer showing eurasia(?) 1046 messages just clicked on the chart started in jan at 25pish finished now at 30pish take out the costs and the spread and that looks to me like a complete waste of time yet it creates unbelievable attention and a little bad news could see it dive - hence the title of my post. All the best Chris. |
Posted at 25/12/2000 00:21 by stewjames Just read your post properly (oops! Sorry.) and that's an interesting point about waiting for the start of the uptrend. Worth looking into, I reckon. On the dividend point, isn't it normal practice for the price to be discounted by the same amount as the dividend on the ex date? |
Posted at 24/12/2000 11:22 by taximania Some interesting replies , thanks , there is little doubt that buying a good small cap company and holding for the long term would produce outstanding gains but how many of the investors that contribute to this site would do that? not many i fear. I am sure if i posted a thread on here along the lines of ' Chorion to fly on monday' it would attract 10 times as many replies all saying how wonderful the company is and that we should all get in now before it's too late!Can not agree with the comments that there is no value in 350 stocks if anything i would say the opposite is true. Many are out of favour simply because there is no short term interest , with a few exceptions of companys whose long term market share is declining (M&S perfect example),this interest often returns and drives the price forward. Two recent examples might be Hanson from 315p to 450p in a few weeks or WH smith 310p to 450p again in a few weeks and the great thing is there are loads more out there!The good thing is that many will sit at there year low for quite a while so there is no need to rush in ,simply wait for a small change in the trend, it also helps that many offer a decent yield if you follow the ex date there is often a rise as the ex gets closer which then carries through and gives you not only the divi but also a decent increase in your capital.All the best Chris |
