Better day for the markets today , well done to those who thought about selling yesterday buT stayed put .

[spennysimmo] 26/5/2010 13:12

I'd be content with that.

[bordersboy] 26/5/2010 13:06

Better make that £1.57 then ;)

[spennysimmo] 26/5/2010 13:04

£1.58 would take them back to just before where they were at their peak share price

[bordersboy] 26/5/2010 13:03

U.K. April Mortgage Approvals Rise to Four-Month High, BBA Says

By Jennifer Ryan

May 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. mortgage approvals rose to a four-month high in April as the economic recovery gained traction, a report by the British Bankers' Association showed.

Banks granted 35,729 home loans compared with 35,044 the previous month, the group said in an e-mailed statement today. The volume of approvals rose 15 percent from a year earlier, while the average value of a house-purchase approval increased 12 percent to 146,700 pounds ($211,350).

Futures strengthening again, could see an early afternoon step up, but will it last...

[scars] 26/5/2010 11:07

DOW futures looking reasonably strong may get past the 33 today, closer to 34 tomorrow. Unless there is a sharp pull back, of course......

[scars] 26/5/2010 10:53

It will need to top 34 to gain confidence.

[spennysimmo] 26/5/2010 10:50

Here is the steep downward resistance line that TW. needs to break through in order to commence an upward trend.

[wolterix] 26/5/2010 10:36

odd, BBA figures were 'off' - has the world suddenly realised that Greece is an ickle country after all, and as long as France and Germany keep going, it's all going to be OK? Or has Hague put Kim Jong Il in his box?

[wolterix] 26/5/2010 10:35

ay carumba!

[scars] 26/5/2010 10:22

A good point, but I feel the U.S. debt issue will raise it's head sooner or later. Then what and for how long?

[spennysimmo] 26/5/2010 10:20

Don't forget that TW. have a large exposure to the US and Canada and those economies will bounce stronger and quicker than here. What TW. need to show is good debt reduction. It is the highest of all the house builders.

[scars] 26/5/2010 10:17

I don't wholely disgree with you Pearly, but the affordability issue will be with us for a long time. There are still lots of people in the property game and there is still money to be made, but it will take a long time for the level of transactions to reach anywhere near the level they were in the boom times. This will keep valuations stable and share prices lower.

I disagree about property having had its' day. Greed is a mighty powerful motivator and, sure as eggs is eggs, sentiment will change and property will be the best thing since sliced bread once again.Same as it has over and over again across many many decades.

It is the same as the 'buying opportunity' now.Buying opportunities seldom present themselves as such.They come about during periods of soul searching about the frailties of the sector,company,general markets etc until the relevant scares have worked their way through the system.Then we look back and think 'that was an obvious buying opportunity' that we have missed.

Granted we have seen many buying opportunities getting lower and lower over the last year or so but this is a good long term play and will be the flavour of the month again at some point.Just got to be patient enough to sit in and wait for that time.
