fhealey - I rarely buy at the bottom or sell at the top, I just seek a 4 to X% profit to keep my cash turning over.

I'm generally done by 11:30am and return to the fray ca 3:30pm.

WFL1970 I would rather be £5000-7000 better off in 10 years than leaving money in the bank & as I see these being nearer £3 at least in 10 years its a sound investment to me. perhaps you are to thick to understand!fhealey I bought these for 30-37p add in all the dividends which i take as shares & this is now a substantial investment for me I have made 80% of my initial investment out of dividends alone just in the last 3 years so whether the share price is £1 or £2 is irrelevant to me even on todays price I have still made £80,000 on my initial investment of £20,000 so will stick to long term investing as I have always done.

gbh2 - Unfortunately my own experience of investing in TW is one of buying just before the share price drops so I'm then locked in for a while. I rarely sell for a loss but I dont make large profits either. "Lucky" has never been my middle name but one day I hope to get my timing just right!

[gbh2] 14/11/2018 10:02

That's right LG,

My only aim is to end the financial year with a profit, preferably a Big one (said in Hope, which is just across the road from Prayer and around the corner from Wishing)

Have a good one.

LoL gbh2. Rather like me you seem to see Long Term Buy Hold as a relative concept.

[gbh2] 14/11/2018 09:38

fhealey - Bad choice???

TW are, in my opinion, one of the most predictable short term movers, the majority of my last five years of profit has come from TW's share price fluctuation.

Edit: I too enjoy the game and my age/income means long term investment is no longer a requirement :))

jugears

What matters is total return

-25% capital and +10% revenue is a bad result. Might as well keep it in your piggy bank and make 0% or -3% in real terms

[wfl1970] 14/11/2018 09:23

Or from another perspective...
Don’t let the 'dividend' tail wag the investment dog!

[fhealey] 14/11/2018 09:17

Jugears - I have funds I invest long term where short term fluctuations dont concern me. I have other funds which I invest short term hoping for a quick profit (and because I enjoy the fun of it). TW are currently my short term project. Bad choice I hear you say!

[jugears] 14/11/2018 09:04

fhealey- That's why you should invest long term & re invest the dividends.If you invest £10,000 & you get an 18p divedend & then the shares fall say 25% in year 1 you have still made 18p per share profit. As tw always go back up before the special dividend & then fall back you could say that you are writing off £2500 off you initial investment to earn £1000 per year, if your were to keep these 10 years you would still be £7500 better off.!

[gbh2] 14/11/2018 08:35

Agree with sentiment re the share price drop but disagree with your buying & selling process :))

[fhealey] 14/11/2018 08:31

What a dog this share is. Just want to make my break even price and I'm out. It's OK saying that an 18.5p dividend makes the company attractive to investors but it's not when the share price drops 25p after the dividend is paid! Complete waste of my hard earned cash.

[wfl1970] 13/11/2018 20:27

Perhaps it's better than the 5 year chart - depending on your preferred direction of travel!

[cupra kid] 13/11/2018 17:38

Why would you look at a daily chart to determine a downtrend from October 2017??

[tradejunkie2] 13/11/2018 16:47

Downtrend from Oct 2017 continues.

See daily chart.

Interserve not helping shares in the industry, even though it is in a completely different sector to tw.

Bought more to, great opportunity

[tlobs2] 13/11/2018 09:50

A positive trading update and they drag the price down.

A profitable company in a market where there is more demand than supply and with millions in the bank ......oh and a history of paying decent dividends.

When they come to their senses and the drugs wear off then I suspect this could finish blue by the end of the day....

[martyn9] 13/11/2018 09:07

I understand your post now stewart, yes agreed sites should be more factual.

[stewart64] 13/11/2018 08:53

Reiterating that 18.3p dividend for 2019 which has been known for months...600m/ 3.276 billion shares. Not many sites actually show the correct fwd div.

No way could I sit on a profit above 20%, I've seen too many market turn a rounds to take the risk.

[gbh2] 13/11/2018 08:21

Nearly every key figure was down on 2017 only the words in between and at the end were positive, that said I've just double my holding the dividend is to be 20% up on last year so I can wait.

Not to mention this has done wonders for my ave buying price :))
