Yes I agree gbh2.The hedge funds are having a field day in these volatile market.There's the Standard Life property fund redemption news to be considered.This doesn't have direct relevance to the likes of TW. but it's unsettling news.Sterling continues under pressure and the market continues to bet on a hard landing for the UK,look at Whitbreads.The jury is out on a lot of domestics in this market and there's not much point speculating whether concerns are misplaced.For now overseas earners like BATs ,Shire,IMT,AZN are the safe bet .The FTSE 250 is down some 5% since Monday's opening,thus around some 10% since Brexit.

Hedge Funds driving it down because they can !

Shaw, I am not sure that you can devalue a company by half due to something that may or may not happen, As Tw went in to the credit crisis with 1 Billon pounds of debt & managed to survive I really don't think we have a lot to worry about, Any down turn & TW can reduce its overheads by 50% with a quick call to its subcontract work force, Tw can be ran on an extremey thin budget if required. But as we all know things are not & will not be as bad as predicted,My own experience as a supplier to the construction industry is that things are buisier than ever, & all the companies I talk to say the same think, IMHO this share has been totally over sold from £1.80 & any Manipulated falls will be short lived, & who knows At this price Tw must be a takeover target

Can't be serious! Must be tree shaking. We exit the EU and everyone stops buying houses and building them.......... Seriously over done!!!!

A bit late aren't you? Isn't it better to short near the highs? Shorting after a stock has halved seems to be way most suckers behave, late to the party.

[isaready] 04/7/2016 16:30

looks like shorting the property sector will be the norm over the next 18 months. It's nothing to do with brexit, its to do with the market peaking. a simple fact.

Residential means more than just houses ie flats/student accomodation etc, as far as I am aware these are construction buyers anyway not house builders?

[shaws67] 04/7/2016 16:04

sidarthur2, correct, they probably are but the hedge funds are taking advantage of market sentiment.

[squiresquire] 04/7/2016 16:03

BECAUSE, QUITE REGARDLESS OF BREXIT, ITS THE UK WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

[sidarthur2] 04/7/2016 15:58

I thought we were woefully short of houses so why aren't we throwing them up like billy-o?

MARKETSUK construction output falls at fastest pace since ’09 – Markit

Britain’s construction industry suffered its worst performance in June for seven years and has slumped into contraction territory, a closely-watched survey of activity has suggested, as the sector was rocked by uncertainty over the outcome of the EU membership referendum.

The UK construction purchasing managers’ index dropped to 46 for June from 51.2 the previous month – economists had expected it to fall to 50.7. Any reading below 50 indicates contraction. Just over 80 per cent of responses were received before the result of the referendum, writes Nathalie Thomas.

The fall in the PMI was triggered by a steep decline in residential building work while the commercial sector was also hit. The result is the worst PMI reading since June 2009 and the first time the index has fallen below the crucial 50 mark since April 2013.

tlobs2, the society cancer is the government who have messed up the economy with endless austerity, as an example. The EU with crazy legislation and regulations, as an example.

The unfortunate downside, is the hedge funds are continually commenting on recession....they move the market, it doesn't help that the Govt are talking down the economy too.

We are all in the same boat, i'e, it will effect everyone of us in some way shape or form.

Markets go up, markets go down. We all have to ride out whatever is thrown at the market investor.

[tlobs2] 04/7/2016 15:31

The doom mongers who spend all their lives talking the country down are a cancer on our society. We and they know who they are ;-)

The sooner they depart this wonderful world the better .......
