Woof : TW has done me proud in the past 3 months but still see the share price re-visiting the 40p level before your 45p! If it doesn't I wish a genuine good luck to all holders as they too make a decent profit.

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 15:51

Was about to say you get this pattern in a liquid share when a big holder is happy to sell a tranche at a given price and is effectively putting a brake on the the share price moving up.

When they stop selling at that SP, it moves up.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 15:28

It moved. Just then, I swear I saw it move. Honest.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 15:05

I guess there's just a very large buy order at 42p. Could be a 'sell at 42p or more order', but it's only steady because somebody's buying it.

Eeeh, a floor at 42p. Would be nice...

Really weird price action today. Is price being held to effect a big move in/out at around 42?

Woof

ludlow ; Sold out yesterday at 43.53p. Will monitor .Looking to buy back in round about the 40p level. Along with IMI, this share has been ' anice little earner' for me since January as I wait for Lloyds to take off!

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 11:03

I'm sitting on a decent % (20% odd yesterday) but not twitchy lol.

Much rather have 40% than 20

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 11:01

I'm quite hapy with it here - no profits to consider taking, so nothing to be done.

It's when I have a paper profit that i get twitchy...

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 10:59

No point letting nerves kick in if you miss the run up to 50p on the TM news...

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 10:51

This (42) would be a good place to have support:

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 09:37

Dinnae worry! It'll come back

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 09:34

That's right I guess Jibba, presumably they don't actually have to liquidate holdings though to be assessed?

End of the first quarter looms, squaring up to keep their jobs and bonus..

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 09:25

As opposed to the normal banks, who got their money by shafting shareholders on the refinancing(s). But then healthy banks are good for the whole economy, no?

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 09:16

Also - remember the huge stakes held by certain investment banks. They need to take profits at various levels on the way up.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 09:15

Could be oscillating in the low 40's for a while looking back at all the previous resistance points - unless there is some game-changing event.

Can anyone think of such a thing for TW? :-)

Reckon it'll consolidate with more opportunities to buy in 40-44p

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/3/2011 09:11

It's Friday - time to take profits. (I no longer have any...)

It's actually a good thing, if you're holding for a higher price - putting support in place, churning new buyers at higher prices than previously.

Close today for the week will be interesting - if we close above the previous peak a couple of weeks ago (42.1) that will be promising.

[kfp] 25/3/2011 09:08

SR any explanation for the 3% drop ?

[sir rational] 25/3/2011 08:08

It's a news blackout so far - very good sign

[damac] 25/3/2011 08:05

Was there ever any news on the 2nd round of bids on the sale of TM that were due on Friday 4th March as per what was reported on 28th February? I don't remember reading anything about, much appreciated if someone can point me in the right direction.

[newkid] 24/3/2011 17:49

Well done to all who have held for a year or so. As you know I sold last week. Fortunately I moved funds over to another stock which put on 13% in a day only to stall at 11.5p. Can't seem to move beyond that. Maybe I should have done a quick out and back in. Could have got an additional £2k's worth of TW shares.

We think that the housebuilders will be happy that the government is trying to help. We identified three sets of measures that have been set out in the Budget. Firstbuy Direct is a new shared equity scheme that should prove helpful to the industry. The suggested changes to the planning system may not do much in the short term but their long term impact could prove helpful as building regulations are eased. Stamp Duty and REIT initiatives may be helpful to investors, but we do not think that mainstream housebuilders will move any nearer using REITs. Overall, the shared equity scheme will help the housebuilders sell more houses, and should be seen as a new positive for the sector, while a softer stance on zero carbon removes a longer term risk.
