I would have thought that with Barratt's results being so good our morning would have been more positive...but we will have to keep on waiting for the magic that will take TW up :-/

Maybe you should look at other brokers gbh .

[gbh2] 10/9/2014 09:17

Mine would be just short of £800 !

Edit: And the trade would be five times over my self-imposed trading limit for a single trade.

[badmumba] 10/9/2014 09:15

My trading costs would be £250 stamp duty and £15 to deal .

[gbh2] 10/9/2014 08:45

46000 bought @ 108.7 & sold @ 112.2 would barely cover my trading costs, I'd only have 1K profit!

[badmumba] 09/9/2014 17:29

homeboy i bought 46000 so made more than 1500 pounds after exs ,i'm more than happy with that overnight .I always trade 50k usually for smallish profits .

[homeboy35] 09/9/2014 11:30

You need to buy a lot then.

How many are you trading?

[badmumba] 09/9/2014 11:12

I bought yesterday at 108.70 ,sold 112.20 this morning , this is a great trading share ,has been for a while now ,i got stuck in it this summer for buying too high .
Trade it below 110p.

Problem is that any good news will be sold into as with the recent "Record Profits" that Redrow recently posted!

[gbh2] 09/9/2014 10:23

I've just binned my holding at break even. If i sold earlier i'd have made a little, however i'm now feeling uncomfortable with the potential UK separation.

It's getting ugly North of the Border for us up here...worse everyday. For me, i'm taking a back seat with banks and builders.

all in my own opinion.

[gbh2] 09/9/2014 08:55

Investment interest still abysmal !!

[shaws67] 08/9/2014 12:24

A bit savage this drop

[shaws67] 08/9/2014 10:56

[shaws67] 08/9/2014 10:55

i've got a small buy order at 109.8p, not sure if it will trigger.

[n111ndy] 08/9/2014 10:54

fingers crossed, was expecting better from this stock...

[shaws67] 08/9/2014 10:18

probable bounce off 110p? Or break down?

Housing shortage has put homes out of reach for ‘ordinary people’

The Government must deal with the UK's 'chronic' lack of housebuilding, urges the CBI, as house prices continue to rise

Britain's chronic housing shortage will act as a significant drag on UK growth unless policymakers take action to increase supply, Britain’s biggest business lobby group will warn

UK buyers will be unable to get onto the property ladder unless the Government takes urgent action on the housing shortage, the Confederation of British Industry has warned.

The lack of housing has created above-inflation increases in house prices that are now pricing out many first-time buyers, and costing consumers £4bn a year in housing and transport costs, according to Britain’s biggest business lobby group.

In its Manifesto, out today, the CBI has urged government to build 10 new towns and garden cities by 2025 and double the number of new homes currently being built to 240,000 a year.

Britain has failed to build more than 200,000 homes in 10 out of the last 14 years. The number of homes completed in 2013 alone fell by 5pc to 109,370, according to Government data.

The gap in demand is pushing up prices, with an average increase of 54pc nationally, and 90pc in London.

Prices in the capital, which are already 49pc higher than the next-most expensive region, are growing more than twice as fast as any other region.

“A perfect storm is brewing in the housing market,” said Katja Hall, the CBI’s deputy director general. “With demographic changes and demand currently dramatically outstripping supply, now is the time for action.

“Political parties of all colours have made the right noises on the need for more homes but without serious action the ambition to own a home will become more and more out of reach to ordinary people.”

To free up more land for housing, the CBI is urging the Government to give local authorities more power to release low-quality green belt land.

The lobbying organisation is also calling for significant reforms to stamp duty to end its distortive impact on the housing market.

Under current rules, a tax of 1pc is charged on properties worth between £125,000 and £250,000, rising to 3pc on properties worth between £250,001 and £500,000. However, buyers must pay the higher rate on the whole amount, rather than the amount above the threshold.

This means a property that sells for £249,000 incurs stamp duty of £2,490. But if the property is sold for £251,000, the bill is £7,530.The CBI has called on the Government to smooth out this so-called “cliff edge” effect.

Fiscal incentives for older people looking to downsize or for families extending their homes could also stimulate the market, it said.

“We need a stronger response from politicians who must be ready to take bold decisions,” said Ms Hall.

Going to finish on a lower low again, fifth time in a row...that trend needs to be broken!

[gbh2] 04/9/2014 13:44

I wouldn't argue with your comment re a pull back, but I don't like cash doing nothing in the bank, I'd rather spend it or put it under the bed :))

[badmumba] 04/9/2014 13:03

I agree gbh ,good as place as any to have your money . However i want back in under 110p and the FTSE / DOW has to pullback soon .

[gbh2] 04/9/2014 11:06

No I didn't..............I said I'd be back before the special dividend and here I am because I cannot find anywhere else to put my profits from other investments.

[homeboy35] 04/9/2014 11:03
