I hold TEF but have this on my watchlist. Not understanding the reason for the fall today. Is it an opportunity or are the hedge funds manipulating the share price Baffling.......

[npp62] 04/11/2016 17:52

And look at how accurate the polls were when we had the last general election... and the Brexit vote.. Which was closer to be fair

[raffles the gentleman thug] 04/11/2016 16:14

yep - deleveraging has been huge and latest polls pointing to pretty convincing Clinton win

Yes, the short covering was a sign of things to come. Bad news for newly opened short positions when positive news and the markets turn next week.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 04/11/2016 14:09

you crazy if you think hedge funds are making money on this name, or indeed on the sector. One only has to see the rampant short covering yesterday over nothing to appreciate that, and new shorts being put on 10p cheaper - thats a strategy which is doomed to failure

No chance of hard brexit in march imo. Looking at +6 more months past that date of more debates, more resignations, possibly more re-negotiations.

Still more housing needed, and the budget is going to outline that. Hedgefunds are playing this, and others. like a fiddle.

fair enough if you believe strongly in the fundamentals . But in markets one can never say " will recover " as expect the unexpected ! ( wry smile ) .

[jugears] 04/11/2016 11:27

arja, share price will recover if we stay or leave.

[arja] 04/11/2016 10:53

but still in a clear downtrend since it hit 170 and maybe 120 chart support is worst case scenario. Not smart to just hang on as share price falls and trading is the best game in town with brexit worries . share price will recover IF we stay in the EU and still a chance of that happening - fingers crossed !!

1carus, Yes I agree, I am a long term investor & this works for me I don't see the point in chasing the odd penny here or there,these will come good eventually & I would rather wait than miss out all together.

Got to love this share if you bought it low and have held. I bought this at around a pound. Last year, this year and next year dividends should/have all been over 10pc. What's not to like here. Second best performing share I have ever held I think.
When I look at professionally managed funds, only a small percentage return 10pc year on year. I don't have anywhere near like the resources, time or knowledge that they will have and have just been lucky with my original timing on this. With the rapid movements in share prices these days, short term trading seems to be a 50/50 bet on an outcome... not for me, although some claim they make good money at it. I don't believe much of what I read on these forums as some investor would appear to make many calls that in general work for them over a short period, if that was truly the case, they should go and work for the investment companies and become a star in that field--- it pays very well. Happy to keep taking the 10pc or more even if this drops back down to £1, it's still a masssive win in these days of zero interest rates.

Agree gbh2 ... even in a climate of flat pricing for 2017 and 2018, expected dividend flows comfortably justify a floor to the share price around the 140 level

[gbh2] 04/11/2016 08:37

For me TW is all about the 2017/18 Dividends anything else is a bonus because my holding is now based on 65% pure profit gained during the last two years.

[uknighted] 04/11/2016 08:33

Gbh2 at the current price it's a win win!

[gbh2] 04/11/2016 08:30

Just been made aware of a nice pick up from our Premium Bonds so I'll have a few more TW once the cash arrives in the Bank :))

[arja] 04/11/2016 07:38

jugears- MANY years I hope but actually there is no doubt article 50 will be triggered simply because most REMAIN MPs will think about their cushy grossly overpaid jobs and
will NOT do the right thing - typical MPs and most are scum of the earth !!

[gbh2] 03/11/2016 15:56

Looks like the rise was well contained, every reason to build a holding atm but no reason for the institutions to hold.

[m4rtinu] 03/11/2016 12:49

That would be ironic!!

[raffles the gentleman thug] 03/11/2016 11:00

seems everyone has the same short trade on - hopefully Government lose the appeal and take it on to the European Courts -

[jugears] 03/11/2016 10:58

Could now be years before we leave the EU.

[lostuser] 03/11/2016 10:53

Looks like a reaction to high court decision about Brexit

[lostuser] 03/11/2016 10:53

gbh will be pleased when he gets back from the pub

[raffles the gentleman thug] 03/11/2016 09:25

sounds like a plan gbh2 ...
