Will be nice rise next week when they are back at work building.

[arja] 05/5/2020 15:56

wishful thinking today and not sure why the builders hit but might be in tomorrow morning 's news !

algorythma drive me mad when trying to trade and need a quicker trigger finger than
mine . However , sometimes in the opening and closing auctions it throws up possibilities. Hoping that US markets do not tank again when physical opens and the
builders bounce a bit later

I was mainly referring to the retail, some of which turn up on here pushing their book. But small fry funds do see their lunch eaten by the bigger money funds. Its real and it happens, a battle of the bots.

"Shorts getting roasted yet again."

Not in this day and age, the Hedge Fund traders use algorithms to ensure total control of the ups & downs these days.

[arja] 05/5/2020 10:46

builders got off to a good start but now struggling with some down on the day !

[tlobs2] 04/5/2020 12:39

To be fair I think the builders are probably one of the more stable investments at the moment.

Building isn't as dependent as other industries on customer socials distancing issues.

Shorts getting roasted yet again. They just don't learn - property market in an overcrowded island is as safe as gold. Don't bet against it, even short term.

Each year at Xmas (in the 1970s) sector analysts in our department would submit their best ‘buy’ recommendations.Meanwhile,a copy of the FT opened at the prices page was pinned to a wall and a dart thrown to select competing stocks.Where the dart landed,the company name was duly noted.The following Xmas,the performance of the analyst recommendations was compared with the ‘active’ dart throwing methodology.Little difference was to be observed between the two investment approaches.Luck,as observed here,has always been a crucial element of successful investing,simply because we never know what’s round the corner.

Firstly, thank you to all for their comments.Steeplejack, what are the odds, so am I! (but although I stayed in Financial Services, moved away from wealth management many years ago).Good luck all

I find your view of analysts cynical but entirely realistic.Perhaps that's a bit strange given I'm a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment!......or perhaps not :)

PR was interviewed on tv this morning. Some site managers are going into sites today to put up Covid signage and make arrangements for new working practices, the remaining site managers will go in next week. He expects work to commence at a level of 80% compared with pre- Covid19 times.

Good morning all.

Happy back to work day :-)

P1966. As I suspect you concluded ... none of us can predict the future, just guess. That’s why why trying to time the market is mainly luck, although many who have a “lucky” streak tend to believe its down to their superior skills. That’s why the basic buy and hold works over the cycles in a capitalist set up, as general inflation and / or fiat money does the job of increasing asset prices for you.

Pi - Analysts are in the same arena as Charts.

[p1966] 03/5/2020 22:51

Not wishing to generalise, but I tend to find that analysts are at their best 'after the event', explaining why something took place, as opposed to reliably predicting the future. And when it comes to predictions, they are entirely comfortable raising or lowering buy / sell recommendations and price estimates to the extent that eventually they will have a forecast that came good. It would be too glib to suggest if they had that great an insight, they would quit their employer and day-trade on their own account by the pool in the Bahamas, but you get where I am coming from. To be fair, I imagine their business role must be to encourage trading / rotation and the resultant commissions - and as an investor who tends to buy and hold, this is a little jarring, but I must admit to having quoted broker views recently! And each to his own, the market wouldn't function if we all thought the same.

Lloyd's bank might more usefully spend their time sorting themselves out

[jugears] 03/5/2020 20:05

Ye old word COULD again.

[sikhthetech] 03/5/2020 18:57

according to Lloyds Bank update, house prices could fall 30% from peak to trough...
that's within my range of 30-40%...



"Overall, property values could fall by 30.2 per cent over three years, which would be unprecedented in modern times."

I've added small shorts this week across here and PSN and looking to add Barratt, I'm betting people will be hunkering down for a few months and before we know it we'll be getting the 2nd phase threat in the autumn headlines in the daily mail! Prefer to add on a market up day though as they are currently outperforming by quite a bit and probably wait to see what the weekend press brings and look at things next week. "Sell in May and Go Away" seems pretty apt for this year in my view.

[m4rtinu] 01/5/2020 11:55

Brilliant for trading!! Only problem is judging (more like guessing) which way it's going to go next. It is defeating me 🤔🤔

[1carus] 30/4/2020 12:35

Tlobs2.... It's like finding a tenner in an old coat. I moved a lot of stuff around in April and was concentrating on bigger issues of late. Its not a huge amount, but enough to make me smile a little.

[raweden] 30/4/2020 11:22

Any of the bullish investors on here care to take a stab at what the TW sales figures are going to look like in Q2, 3 and 4?

3 to 6 month lead in on house sales so the figures for end of March meant very little in the context of virus impact.

[tlobs2] 29/4/2020 19:39

In which case you need to be dope tested.

[1carus] 29/4/2020 11:30

Discovered I still had a tranch of these that I had from a while back. Now I dont know if I want them to rise, or fall!
