barf...It sure looks like that. But why?

[barf2] 27/7/2010 09:06

It gets lobbed onto the offer quite often as you say to deter buyers.They are using every trick available to them to keep this down.

MM's licence to do whatever they want to control a price.

[the_beagle] 27/7/2010 08:56

And as I typed the 850k mysteriously disappeared from the offer. Dirty dealings!

[the_beagle] 27/7/2010 08:51

Up nearly a half penny. Can't be bad. 30p by results time. However we need an insti to take out the 850k on offer. Or is it there to deter buyers??? Something devious is going on here imo. Time will tell.

TD, if only buddy, if only. :)

[the disciple] 26/7/2010 20:55

Up 0.20 ,this could be the start of something huge.

[bordersboy] 26/7/2010 17:06

What ?

[the_beagle] 26/7/2010 16:57

Great US new home sales figures out today. Our's due Thursday I think. Half year results on 3rd August. 30p within days imo.

[bordersboy] 26/7/2010 15:22

something untoward is going on with TW. share price.

[barf2] 26/7/2010 15:20

'Attaboy!

Why were all those recent sells that have just taken it below 27p again, not interested in selling when it was 27p throughout the day? they just waited until the moment better figures were issued then decided to settle for 27p!

Even with your flippancy spenny I think you can even see something more than market forces dictates the share price here.

[spennysimmo] 26/7/2010 15:17

I have no idea but I would guess hedgies, buys on plus and sells on LSE? Or something like that.

[barf2] 26/7/2010 15:15

....and why did it shoot back down again?

Bdev, psn etc spiked up [albeit a small spike] and stayed up but not TW. Immediately quashed by the simple method of stopping buys reaching the book.

[spennysimmo] 26/7/2010 15:12

It tweaked up because new home sale figures in the US were better than expected. Announced at 3pm. Shot up for about all of 1 minute.

[barf2] 26/7/2010 15:07

We both know why I do it don't we? :-)

Uncanny isn't it?

But then they stopped those buys going through LSE and sent them to PLUS and tipped some sells onto LSE to bring it right back down to below 27p


If the FSA weren't so busy securing their next positions under the new regime they could be shooting fish in a barrel and racking up their arrests with just half a day watching TW.

[the_analyst] 26/7/2010 15:02

Uncanny!

As soon as you make an observation, they tweak it up......briefly!

Don't let them get away with it Barf2!

[barf2] 26/7/2010 14:57

It is even giving a micro version of it's recent trajectory.

In the daily graph we are now in a down channel with lower highs and lower lows etc

[barf2] 26/7/2010 13:55

Here we go with a walk down again.They do it because they can.

Nothing to do with supply and demand because we can all see,even on the light volume days, that there are plenty of buyers of TW.It is all about hedge funds etc and the money they make by shorting etc

Did anyone see the write up about Ocado? the hedgies, in addition to talking people out of taking up the IPO, actively placed shorts even before Ocado had started trading!

They then got their guys on the phones to tell prospective buyers how overpriced it was.

What did the FSA do? same as they always do.Stood back and applauded.

The contrary view on that Telegraph article from earlier.
Same facts different headline

Home-movers confident of price recovery by mid-2011
26 July 2010

The latest Rightmove Consumer Confidence Survey finds that the proportion of people that expect prices to be higher one year from now has dropped from 50% to 41% since last quarter.

This view, taken from more than 20,000 prospective home-movers, comes against a backdrop of Rightmove reporting new sellers' average asking prices falling month-on-month for the first time this year.

Despite a combination of factors exerting downward pressure on prices during the second half of 2010, overall a bullish majority of 75% believe that prices will either be the same as now or higher by July 2011. This has fallen back from the 83% recorded in our April survey, however.

The results are taken from responses to our regular quarterly question - "Where do you think average house prices will be one year from now?" - providing a first major insight into the property market outlook of potential home-movers since the change in government and announcement of austerity measures.

Miles Shipside, commercial director of Rightmove, comments:

"A 9% drop in people expecting prices to be higher in a years' time is a significant shift. However, three-quarters of people still believe that prices will either be the same or higher in 12 months' time, indicating expectations of price stability in the medium-term.

"This suggests that either the Government cuts have not yet bitten hard enough to knock the inherent belief in property as a long-term safe-bet, or that there is a strong sense that the property market's 'dark days' are behind us."

Overall the survey indicates a degree of confidence that the new Government's austerity measures will be bearing fruit in a years' time. The medium-term view of the majority of respondents appears to be that by next summer the immediate concerns of property oversupply, mortgage famine, and the personal financial pain of the recovery process, will have eased.

However, one in five believe prices will fall over the next year, and this 'nervy minority' has increased from one in eight last quarter.

Shipside adds:

"The 'price-optimists' still out-number the 'price-nervy' by two to one, but with austerity measures starting to bite, a growing nervousness is to be expected. Given that house prices are anticipated to fall in the second half of 2010, it is reassuring that a bullish 75% believe that house prices will recover to be the same or higher by the summer of 2011.

Normal service has been resumed.

Back to the usual pish!

[barf2] 26/7/2010 08:37

Some grim determination to keep this where it is but I see the FTSE has just handed back all this mornings gain on a plate.

[barf2] 26/7/2010 08:19

8.18am
Better

[barf2] 26/7/2010 08:05

Early trades suggest we are where we've been for ages.Sells go through LSE and buys go through PLUS so not quite the start I was hoping for.

The Telegraph wishes it had that sway!

[the_analyst] 26/7/2010 08:02

It'd be nice to see TW. build a bit of steam towards the Interims. But men in dark glasses (and the Telegraph) may dictate matters!
