TradeJunkie. There is no share buyback. You need to pay attention.

[tradejunkie2] 22/12/2018 18:46

I get paid allot and love telling people what to do whilst l don't do much.

That's called position of power.

[m4rtinu] 22/12/2018 18:34

There are a significant minority of people who get paid much too much. And a large majority who get paid far too little. On balance I think MPs get paid well but more or less deserve the amount they get. But they could afford to pay their own expenses.

The salary of the Prime Minister could be a benchmark for others'.

Lawyers are an example of a profession which is paid too much. Yes, they may work stupidly long hours and yes, they have to study for a long period, but their costs put their services beyond the reach of ordinary people and businesses.

Question kitty cats.

Is the share buy back including a share cancellation?

[riley109] 22/12/2018 17:32

That'll be his missus then along with most of our MPs.

If you know a fully qualified lawyer,they'll be only too pleased to smugly tell you that they charge £450 an hour plus......and Chuka worked as a solicitor going on to specialize in Employment law.It makes sense.

Not called Greed at the Top for nothing, because on top of all that he'll want Expenses :))

@WBecki

I didn't say Brexit was to blame for the drone farce.
The current state of play here is down to many factors, the way Brexit has been handled has caused great uncertainty and is just one factor imv - you're entitled your views aside.

Becoming personal doesn't add weight to your argument, therefore some might say you've already lost the argument.

Good luck with your views and investment in TW.

2019 should be interesting...! ;)

Steeplejack is predicting the end of the World........

I'd say 95% of his posts could best be described as negative !

For all the specific knowledge that might be useful in evaluating UK housebuilding stocks,the primary force that dictates the price is the direction of the overall market in particular the S&P.In the US,there is now a consensus which suggests a 35% chance of a recession emerging in 2019 ie a 1 in 3 chance.Redemptions are hitting ETF funds which are leading to liquidations of stock positions,most notably in the NASDAQ market.Redemptions are obliging managers to top slice good quality stocks.With the exception of Amazon,some 30% off the top,major US consumer discretionaries are all at 52 week lows.Technically,the major US indices have broken definitively through support levels.This is the backcloth that investors face in 2019 and,as if to exacerbate nervousness,the UK is going to Brexit.The outlook for global stock markets looks very uncertain over the next half year.

Brexit has paralysed government for 2+ years. Mind you they didn't take much paralysing.

[wfl1970] 21/12/2018 14:10

Brexit has everything to do with the current state of play... Especially how the whole process, since the referendum, has been handled.

Peddling price targets is ok though is it!? ;))

[wbecki] 21/12/2018 13:33

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Brexit has nothing to do with it.

Stop peddling tripe.

[steeplejack] 21/12/2018 13:07

Gatwick paralysed plus a substation fire at Ashford crippled Eurostar and trains in the South East.Is this a harbinger of things to come.Brexit might be about controlling people coming into the UK but maybe it will be near impossible to get out!

[wfl1970] 21/12/2018 11:18

The markets are certainly a Christmassy shade of red... Looks like the anticipated Santa rally by some just hasn't come this year.

Following on from the Brexit fiasco, now you have a drone, shutting down an airport, leaving the authorities scratching their heads how to deal with it. Perhaps 'no deal' seems to be the easy option regarding anything these days!?

From a rather cynical perspective, apparently they are unable to locate who was controlling the said device - perhaps Mrs May was holding the controls... it is certainly one way to deflect the media off the Brexit fiasco! ;)

Have a merry Christmas everyone - 2019 might just be very interesting!

[tlobs2] 21/12/2018 10:00

I'm looking forward to the share buy back plan being approved at the hurriedly arranged meeting and the start of the share buying process to start ideally before the end of the year :-)

[stewart64] 21/12/2018 08:59

I've made the claim recently that TW is the most solvent company in the FTSE 100 *( maybe extend that to the 350), but sometime soon the shoe shine boys on here say it's going under, fair comment I suppose.

Serious question any better out there. Ok you have got the Randgolds with assets subject to requisition from some Banana Republic at 24 hours notice. Any more? And not companies with phoney intangibles.

Thanks, if so I'll take a look at the balance sheet.

* hence the 13% dividend and share buyback plans

[gbh2] 20/12/2018 19:45

I don't think it's shorting as we know it, I think they (Hedge Funds) are selling off enough to stay under the radar with a view to buying back at a much lower price as the big divi date approaches.

It's what I'd do if I had control of millions of shares and knew others in a similar position.

[yf23_1] 20/12/2018 18:44

It may just find institutions who want to sell in size but are unable to.
In which case it won't affect the price.

[stewart64] 20/12/2018 14:54

I don't think there is much shorting activity on TW to be honest. They like to be ahead of the game not when the shoe shines boys are crying sell.

[gbh2] 20/12/2018 14:47

Snag is the Hedge Funds can drive the share price down and buy back for the divi at a much lower sp, win win for them.
