Jab, sheriff or whatever, house prices going down will not make TW go bust.
Prices going down 20% will give those first time buyers a 20% better chance of their first step on the ladder.

House builders will still be building houses nontheless.


Perhaps you could give an intricate analysis why you state the house builder will be bust by Xmas (what ever year) Cant wait for a detailed reply !

What a shocker!!!!!

The Telegraph leading with 'we are all doomed' headline!

The paper has become a laughing stock with its petulant sulking about the Con Lib coalition.It is absolutely livid that the Tories would stoop so low as to get into bed with the liberals and is going to shout,kick,spit and stomp about the UK in imminent collapse until the Tories apologise to it.

Virtually every headline is armageddon and if people don't read it the first time round they will rehash the article with a more desperate headline and reprint.

TW BUST by xmas chaps !

Sorry it's a dead certainty BUST !!!! or the land bank assets will be either bought out for a song, 10p a share I reckon...;-)

You can bet someone's making money out of the current share price manipulation, they should have carried out a consolidation exercise and made it more expensive to *iss about with the share base!

You've got to admire their chutzpah. A 1.5 million buy goes through as an 'O'trade and meanwhile constant sells of small denomination keep the downeard driving ticking over.

Was it the MM's letting shorters/hedgies re-stock their satchels in one go to keep dripping the sells onto the system?

[ham28] 16/7/2010 15:24

You have to laugh though, when the FTSE goes up this doesn't, the FTSE goes down, lets see how low we can go!!

[barf2] 16/7/2010 13:40

It's an odd feeling.A sort of shamed embarrassment about owning a stock that can be so easily bullied.

Wouldn't be at all suprised to see it take a quick dart down soon to try and test 25p again.

There'll be some sort of trivial economic data somewhere that the hedgies/shorters can get hold of and wave as an obvious reason the sector [and TW in particular] is doomed plus I think they can sense an air of acceptance from TW itself about the futility of anyone buying at present.

[debdale] 16/7/2010 12:20

Never thought I would say this, but it looks likely we could see a fall to low twenties. That would be well below the rights issue of 25p last year. Reversal on the dow could well do it.

[barf2] 16/7/2010 11:27

They are that brazen they either don't care who's watching or know there is no reason to fear the regulator.

My own personal belief is that if there was only the one trading platform and all trades hit the book this would currently be trading in the high 30'S based on the last 2 months alone.

If there are big persistent sellers causing the share price to be depressed then let people see them and see the volume that want to sell.There is a system for it and it's called holdings reporting. If there are big enough sellers to cause a 40% drop in a companies value then they should be reporting a big drop in their holdings but we're seeing nothing of the sort.In actual fact we are seeing increased holdings.

So is anyone dumping large volumes of stock or is it just manipulation of the trading platforms that is moving this down?

( we are all aware of the below information but just another reminder)



Taylor Wimpey is attempting to renegotiate its debt arrangements and free up cash in order to take advantage of returning demand in the housing sector

as long as it's not going bust....which i wouldnt think but nothing is impossible these days.

bordersboy

It would appear to be in the hands of the big boys,something I'm not too comfortable with.

[bordersboy] 16/7/2010 10:47

is it the possibility of refinancing which is keeping this down ?

[camelot5] 16/7/2010 10:43

I've been here 18 months now and have made some decent money,but get the feeling its time to head on to pastures new.

[barf2] 16/7/2010 10:30

The pause in the speed of the fall over the last few days was just a cynical attempt to deflect any glare on the stock,just like the 3 previous interruptions to the down charge.

Fallen further than any other in the sector,directors buying significant amounts and way more buys than sells everyday yet, just by a bit of DMA control they've taken the share price down about 40% and it's a Friday so very little likelyhood of any phone calls to the MM's from the FSA today.They'll be too busy arranging their weekend BBQ [sorry, it's called 'team bonding exercise'].

Camelot - I agree although not 100% happy with Blackrock, I have seen them appear on a few shares JPR being a recent one I think. The holdings seems to have a CFD element which to me suggests that they are hedging on client positions... perhaps someone with greater knowledge can expand / provide more info.

16/07 08:22 - Spanish 2Q Housing Prices -3.6% Vs -4.5% In 1Q

MADRID (Dow Jones)--The rate of decline in Spanish house prices continued to slow in the second quarter, data from Spain's Housing Ministry showed Friday.

The ministry said second-quarter housing prices fell at an annual rate of 3.6% following a 4.5% decline in the first quarter and a 6.2% drop in the fourth quarter of last year.

Spain's housing market has shown signs of stabilizing in recent months as two years of steady declines in prices and low interest rates have helped improve affordability.

In the last couple of weeks we've had a number of directors topping up and both Blackrock and Schroders announcing they hold more than 10%.

Gives hope there's still life in the old dog yet.
