Taylor Wimpey Share Discussion Threads

Jugears, thank your excellent advice, and the trouble you took to reply.
I was needing someone, far more gifted than myself, to advise and you have. Bless you.

[jugears] 28/4/2020 16:27

Hope that helps

Charliemagnie1. Taylor wimpey is a very predictable traded stock '& unfortunately its share price has very little to do with how the company is performing' my guess is we will see 1.70 plus before another retreat down' For now I see this trading between 1.30 -1.70/1.80 for the forseable future.

Took a small punt today...for recovery

Jugears, some advice please. I am relatively a small investor, having bought 25000 @ 140 two weeks ago, and had hoped they would go down so that I could buy more. They've gone uo to 155 and I've bought another 10,000. I sold all my shares when they were @ 199 at the start of the year and am now reinvesting. I realise this is difficult to predict, but how do you see the TW shares processing? I did think the PM's comments yesterday might have brought the share price down more so than they have. Forgive the imposition but what does your crystal ball have to say?. Thanks

[jugears] 28/4/2020 15:34

masterblaster, that's exactly why I bought some more.

[craftyale] 28/4/2020 15:32

Some people just cant let things just be. I'm here to make money. Way too much ruminating. 160 soon ;)

John Burford's article from interactive investor has gone into great detail as to why he thinks share prices are likely to drop sharply on a '3rd wave down'.I was holding for £2 plus but bailed out on his evidence.

Sikh. Hi, I appreciate that the elderly are vulnerable. But that is my point that they (all elderly, care homes, in hospitals and at home) ought to be the focus of safeguarding and strong focus on social distancing. Otherwise there will be no economy to support the services which the elderly require. UK GOV has been slow to look beyond the NHS, and hiding behind “science “. We need to provide assistance for those elderly until we get a cure or vaccine.

IMHO we can’t just sit and wait for a vaccine.

Some still in Government & the House of Lards probably attended that rally :(

[hernando2] 28/4/2020 13:28

OMG- I am sitting out this rally, went to cash (in the main) when the virus story started in earnest in China, i almost pressed the button here again at just over 1..but this article from San francisco during the Spanish flu, leads me to think we will see another major downturn in shares in the future ( less than 9 months). This share could be ok and the events in the article might not be repeated, but i think they will

Interesting to hear that other European countries are struggling with ppe and that China had raided the cupboards before all this broke. Why don't the moron journalists such as one particular one on Good Morning TV, who was taken to court for phone tapping, stop badgering government ministers every day about ppe and not mention the European/worldwide shortages. I cannot watch TV news now as I would probably throw something at it.
He has to be the biggest moron of the lot :-(

"once every one gets more confidence that most young fit people shrug off COVID"

The problem isn't whether young shrug off Covid19, the risk is that they pass it on to the elderly or the vunerable.

Hence why schools are closed.

[disneydonald] 28/4/2020 08:58

Gbh. Generally I agree. The NHS should just be the clinical side and strive for the much overused term of “world class”, and the back office administration functions should be separated and run privately. Clearly the army of “Managers̶1; have failed to support the clinical staff in their hour of need.

As for earlier comments re social distancing on building sites, all will start out with best of intentions and productivity will be a little short of usual, but don’t forget builders only build to order, gone are days when they just threw them up and hoped to sell them later. So that will work out fine, and once every one gets more confidence that most young fit people shrug off COVID then working practices will return to normal, as buyers return for new builds. I suspect builders will increase their part ex offers a little though.

Hopefully Q4 running at full throttle. Shame we lost the best early spring weather in years. Would have been a bumper start to the selling season.

I was reading today about German doctors protesting about lack of PPE it is the same in France , Italy and Spain. Not much coverage here as the press and commentators prefer to slag off our government / NHS...the reality is that China was buying up all PPE it could get its hands on before making the virus public, they bought loads from Canada and australia as well as elsewhere in the world.

Jugs - let's hope no-one present had the virus and passed it on. I imagine there is less risk if working outside and moving. Construction workers may feel they are fit and even if infected they won't be seriously ill. Also, virus not so prevalent outside of cities/ large urban areas. So depends where you live/work. But a rush back to anything approaching old normal could be a retrograde step. And of course, if anyone is struggling for income (esp self-employed), they might think better to catch virus than go hungry. Who knows what will turn out to be the best course of action?

TW dropped back again at the finish yet again

[jugears] 27/4/2020 18:41

Steeple I went to a large construction site today know one was wearing a mask or gloves or keeping 2m apart.

[gbh2] 27/4/2020 18:29

The work requests have never stopped coming in to the company that I'm loosely attached to.
Several jobs have been turned down to date or added to list of things to do when the working Director feels he's not likely to catch anything that he may bring home to infect the family.

[steeplejack] 27/4/2020 18:17

Being realistic,just how closely are the "authorities" going to be able to police social distancing on building sites when they can't stop families meeting up for picnics in the parks?Logistically,things could get slowed down of course,that's inevitable.Well done Jugs on your approach here.Your comments have been very useful providing a commentary on what's happening in the real world rather than a load of troll like doomsayers.That said,long way to go yet.

[arja] 27/4/2020 15:47

is CRH an example of that as outperformed today ?

[gbh2] 27/4/2020 15:10

What I have noticed today is that Concrete mixers back on the road, someone somewhere is needing plentiful supplies.
