I sold my Crest holding some time ago and doubled my holding here :))

[tjbird] 18/11/2017 21:00

Sold and switched to crst

[gbh2] 18/11/2017 19:02

lol, as if anything written on here is likely to alter the share price one way or another!

beware the Trolls are about to attack TW. and talk them down. Maybe the Chancellor will lower stamp duty and stop this interference with the normal resumption of supply and demand on logical research on housebuilders

Yep I did one trade here out when it first hit two quid in the summer and the media was all over the immoral leases and got back in at 185. I'm hoping that particular crisis is behind TW. No doubt our favourite past time of looking at house price indicies will keep a check on a big price improvement as we get the usual doom headlines in the press.

I've made some good money this last two years trading in and out of this company but I'm of an age where "long term" investment is no longer attractive or necessary so trading is simply part of the game.

Have to say I was tempted to cash out at 207 given thr obvious cyclical risks. But it is one I have decided to not trade. Really struggling to find another stock of this type that prints 50k for the fun of it off a huge margin for producing one unit of a product in short supply. Encouraging that the freeholders have by and large caved in to being bought out on reduced terms.

Numis upgrades Taylor Wimpey on strong results -

Numis has upgraded Taylor Wimpey (TW) on a positive trading update from the housebuilder despite concerns about the new build sector.

Analyst Chris Millington upgraded his recommendation from ‘hold’ to ‘add’ and increased the target price from 215p to 221p after second half trading showed the company is on track to meet full year expectations.

‘Taylor Wimpey’s trading update confirms that sales rates and outlet numbers are in line with expectations, which is reassuring given the updates last week cast some doubles on the strength of the new build sector,’ he said.

He upgraded 2017 and 2018 profit before tax expectations to ‘reflect the positive trading trends’ and also increased the net cash forecast for 2017 from £380 million to £500 million ‘suggesting that the scheduled cash return for 2018 is well underpinned’.

The shares edged half a penny higher to 193.4p yesterday.

Good to see these low prices as long as you can tie cash up for 6 to 12 months.

£500 million FY dividend confirmed for next year (up from £450 million this year) with more similar returns planned for 2019 and beyond. Lovely!Great results TW.

[martyn9] 13/11/2017 10:13

Unfortunately, gbh2 i tend to agree with your post.

[sidarthur2] 13/11/2017 09:27

where else do you get 8% on your investment and I suspect most of us are in for well below a £1 so 3/4% fluctuations in share price mean nothing.

[jak1] 13/11/2017 08:51

Trading statement says its standing still to me. The coming budget next week will give you more of a clue...

[gbh2] 13/11/2017 08:30

Not a chance, the traders will continue to sell it down imo.

[tlobs2] 13/11/2017 07:53

Good results. Well done to all at TW :-)

Will we see 200p again today?

[doyden] 09/11/2017 13:53

This is laughably oversold.It was in the news just the other day that house prices are still rising strongly. There is still a chronic shortage of property. TW are still constructing houses and paying handsome dividends. I expect it to be back over £2 in the not too distant future.

[baracuda2] 09/11/2017 13:34

I'm definitely not selling, if anything I'm considering buying more.

[jugears] 09/11/2017 12:58

Redrow not helping but on the whole I think there trading statement was very positive.

[jugears] 09/11/2017 12:50

Very overdone, but the whole markets down today so don't read to much into it, If you don't sell you don't loose!

[baracuda2] 09/11/2017 12:33

How overdone is this, unbelievable!!!

[martyn9] 09/11/2017 11:25

Yes the sharks are creating a surge of unjustified panic selling with all housebuilders,anyone would think the country has run out of bricks!!

[gbh2] 09/11/2017 10:47

I wouldn't argue Jugears, problem is the Traders don't care as long as they're making money.

[tlobs2] 09/11/2017 09:34

It's not like the BBC to put a negative spin on comments from some self proclaimed financial expert as they did once again on BBC1 this morning ;-)

[jugears] 09/11/2017 09:31

I have read 10 different versions of the rics report this morning some of it very contradictory, most refer to house prices between 500k & 1 million & no mention of any properties under the £500k, & the biggest down turn ins in London & the south Where house prices have been over priced for years I have always said that whats bad for London & the South can only be good news for the rest of the country.

[jugears] 09/11/2017 09:30

I still think Tw are one of the best ran house builders in this country & expect a good trading up date
