Jug,
I'm sure most of the big developers use there own in house marketing platforms and people... Which also applies to the conveyancing...
Best not mention with regards to leaseholds... Eh hem. ;)

gaygay- Looking at those two big sells on Friday night I would expect cancelled or delayed, I think TP cancelled there's on Friday & share price went up 12%. In the current situation where every bit of news is overstated I think it would be the right thing to do, Any long term investors here have done exceptionally well out of tw & any long term investor knows full well that Tw will come out the other side, (IMHO with a lot less opposition) All of the big house builders are a lot more resilient than they ever have been in the past & should have no problem continuing to trade.

Trade Junkie 2 - I looked on Right move & couldn't find many new houses, Plenty of inflated old ones, I assume that House builders do not use this type of platform for sales ?

>Investment often is but should never be seen as a hobby or gambling when individuals do it.
IME I don't think it is, only by people not familiar with the stock market.

I believe SIPP's have been common place for many years now, for me since 2013 (at age 55) and annuities went out of fashion at same time. Investment for retirement is something the gov constantly try to encourage, to cover up their own shortfalls if nothing else.

IMO

Waiting for much cheaper entry.....

Rightmove RNS:

"The speed of the slowdown in the UK housing market has been significant.
Notably the number of property transactions failing to complete in recent days
and likely changes in tenant behaviour following the announcement of the
renters' protections by the government may put further pressure on estate and
lettings agents. "

Bear territory.

I agree Dr. Divis are not and should never be thought of as the same as buybacks. Buybacks have a very limited use in my opinion but alas have become very popular since the Credit Crunch as holding on to surplus profit creates no further profit from interest thus should be put to better use.
Used strategically they can help protect investor value through times of faltering share price whist fundamental changes are taking place with a company but to be used wholesale to dispose of excess cash is unwise as hindsight has taught us these past days, you never know where the next crisis might emerge from and that insulation from a heathy bank balance comes in handy.
The description of divi provided by yourselves is spot on. Investment often is but should never be seen as a hobby or gambling when individuals do it. Many have spent time and developed skills to enable it to become a source of income on which they now rely. The divi attracts new investors which in turn increases the share price. its self fulfilling and a vital spoke in the wheel for larger companies where share growth alone gives insufficient annual return to make them attractive. Not a gift or present which is unexpected or excessive.

Look at Crests performance over the last two days. Down 30% on Thursday which sliced far more than the divis value from the companies worth. No traction again yesterday in a calmer environment where even TW managed to claw a few Scheckels back.


Cancelling or stalling the divi is a bad move in my eyes. We are days into this and have no understanding of its long term affect, only guesswork. Special divi however is another matter and should always be treated as temporary whilst the good times roll. It should be reviewed closer to the time.

Sorry 1NHS you very briefly became an active contributor to the forum but just as quickly have regressed to pointless blathering again.

You may as well say 'look at the 1845 potato famine and how long that took to recover' In the great depression there was no internet, no digital revolution, no work from home, no vast knowledge of viral based disease, no hedge funds, no CFDs, no employee protection, and most importantly no world wide effort to stimulate, support and assist businesses, individuals and markets around the world.
Lessons are learnt from every such event and help us deal with the next one better.

The above is a fact based and reasoned post. Try it sometime and you might not get filtered so much.
You claim knowledge and experience in the industry so try using it and posting opinion preferably backed by fact to help out fellow contributors who are probably really hurting through this.

You're back on the naughty step. Ill check on you periodically. FILTERED.

I expect a dividend anouncement on Monday morning.

[uknighted] 21/3/2020 11:56

I agree. Whilst some people work to make a living, some invest in shares and divis are their wage substitute. Also, many workers’ pensions are invested in divi paying companies.
Nothing is ever as clear cut as it seems.

Lord Haw-Haw springs to mind when I read some of the posts here.What practical or beneficial purpose can be gained from someone continually posting about how dreadful everything is.In the Second World War,such a person would have been arrested.His pessimism would have been cited as treasonous.There is nothing constructive or educational about these posts.I wonder exactly what sort of person wishes to adopt this Cassandra/schadenfreude posture.Someone with very few friends I presume.

It’s about time your researched the aftermath of the 1929 wall st crash.

Factor in a 20 years wait for your share price to recover.

Don’t forget you ripped off the government, and are in the dog house, so no more handouts

[clarky5150] 20/3/2020 18:10

Aye. Thankfully I took delivery of 40Kgs of malts, hops and yeast last week. Enough to keep me in Peroniclone, espresso stout and Munich fest bier for 6 months....and I cant even share it with my neighbours :)
Brew day tomorrow...and Sunday, Monday etc. This isolation is terrible.

[wfl1970] 20/3/2020 17:56

Blimey.....throwing him in at the deep end then!

[gbh2] 20/3/2020 11:04

I've just had a call from a former colleague asking what I'd recommend if he were to have his first go at Investigating in Shares.

I've spoken to him for 30 minutes and boiled it down to three companies of which TW would be my first choice, BP my 2nd and LLOY my 3rd.

He's in the Building trade so my guess is he'll go for TW.

[steeplejack] 20/3/2020 10:51

'...any thoughts on the TW bottom'When some of my stocks today are up 25% while others strongly up first thing are now down,I have no 'thoughts' just an endless supply of guesses!

[gaygay3] 20/3/2020 10:23

nice little bounce today but will it last I hope so but I have my doubts its quadruple witching day today maybe big swings in the last hour of trading I think the bottom could be around 80p bear markets normal last between 8 to 12 months any thoughts on the TW bottom

[clarky5150] 20/3/2020 10:18

that did us no favours.
