wendsworth - that's what I thought in April 2010, having held from October 2009.

If I just give you a few of the shares that I have sat and watched in the intervening 18 months or so, you'll see my line of thinking:





Even dear old BP from 300 to 500 would have been better than this crock...

Quite seriously, I'm not saying I would ridden all those gains - but something like SNR - which I bought at 24p and sold at 36p to buy TW. would have been seriously beneficial to the retirement pot. Unfortunately it's all too late for those ones now, and maybe you're right my best bet at this point is go with this...

Forgive my grumpiness, it does hurt...

imastu : Why sell at 44-45p when this share will be north of 50p wthin a couple of months? TW is such a strong buy.

ludlow : I note your posting again.Are you back in?

Good morning Sir...dont understand charts can you just make the share price go up please? Thanks

[sir rational] 07/3/2011 11:19

Ima I just exactly copied the 5 day code across (you saw it) but it corrupted, that's probably what happened last time as well

[imastu pidgitaswell] 07/3/2011 11:16

"I'm not really following what you are trying to achieve with the charts in the header"

Ones that go up, of course...

I just wanted to see the (now consistent) 6 one day charts as 6 five day charts - that's it. But happy enough as it is.

Looking good after a little pull-back - straight back up.

[spennysimmo] 07/3/2011 11:00

I'm not really following what you are trying to achieve with the charts in the header but take a look at the Yell thread I moderate.



I have recently added in charts from Bigcharts.com. They are very flexible and update in real time. If I can help just let me know.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 07/3/2011 10:54

That 5 day / 1 day thing is odd. I've put an example of each on the 'TEST' thread (59696), with the code copied and pasted below each one - but the code is identical.

Ah well, forget it - looks good enough as it is. Look better at 50p though..

[imastu pidgitaswell] 07/3/2011 10:29

This complete inability to put some charts in the header is doing wonders for the share price.

Keep it up...

90% is available but you still need to find the 10% deposit AND earn enough to meet the 3.5x lending multiple.

Eg Jim & Jan have got their eyes on a £200k house, they have the £20K deposit but aggregate earnings are £50K so they can only borrow £175K = no go

Another vote for a longer term chart, say 6 months.

[shaws37] 07/3/2011 10:22

JJ, can you replace the long term tw chart please? Nice to see where it's been and progress it's made.

[smurfy2001] 07/3/2011 10:22

%90 is already available including new mortgages for new homes...

[spennysimmo] 07/3/2011 10:20

Think it through. If interest rates rise then the only way the banks and lenders can capitalise on it on a grand scale is if they lend. Otherwise the only benefit of the rate rise will be to savers. In order to lend they are going to need to be more flexible (within reason of course) with their lending criteria. I think an increase in interest rates will prompt more 90% mortgage availability and maybe even the introduciton of the odd 95%. Then we will see more activity from first time buyers and an increase in volumes.

[primarch1] 07/3/2011 10:15

as a new investor in tw im more than happy chart looks great and recent update was impresive only downside for me is if interest rates rise in the spring depends on there impact on the housing market, but all in all glad to be aboard.

[sir rational] 07/3/2011 10:14

That's quite odd, I put in code for 5 day view (honest) but it has changed it to 1 day

[spennysimmo] 07/3/2011 10:12

Any chance of some blue charts with a white background and pretty orange and green bars?

SR go for it..

[sir rational] 07/3/2011 10:02

I don't suppose that could be news of round 2 bidding last Friday for TM leaking...?

[shaws37] 07/3/2011 10:01

woooo hooooo, nice - about time too. Hope to see 42p broken or obliterated very soon.

[sir rational] 07/3/2011 10:01

Not that the share price is suffering ;-)

[sir rational] 07/3/2011 10:00

Ready when Jibba gives the word but out & about at times plus he does not seem to be online

[imastu pidgitaswell] 07/3/2011 09:53

2 x 3 (rather then 3 x 2) and I'll love you forever...
