Are we still thinking short positions closing ahead of interims? Market conditions have been better over the last couple of days. Glad I kept mine, but for how much longer? Sell ahead of the announcement or hang on hoping for a 'game changing' update. The market response would be damming if it was anything less. Maybe this is the time for the short spread bet as hedge?

Breaking out - the symmetry is thge bowl tratante, imo - charts like this tend to mirror the fall with the bounce, dunno why but it often plays out, tho not always, imo.

No idea what it means if anything, but you've got to admire the symmetry in the chart!

Thanks for the info,Phil.

No posts on the thread, tratante. It was set up by a guy called Leeson31 and has lots and lots of charts, which when I have time, I'll study to find out what they all mean!!

Why do we have a new thread, particularly when it's not accessible to free subscribers?

Thanks tr...
one of the sat. papers (Indy or Grauniad, can't remember which) commented on WEIR responding to better than expected results from US firms in the same sector.

Maybe, tratante, or maybe not. The figures dipped back down to earth after Wall Street opened.

This might have had some impact:

need to register but it's free. Shares on load still below 20% but turned up a little in last couple of days.

No idea why the strong price rise today, has been all over the place over the last few weeks. Not impossible that weir vulnerable to bid, although that would be a crying shame. As someone said above most likely shorters closing - the figures from Square mile are a couple of days behind.

Good luck all (only longs of course)!

Also 10 days off interims of course.

Compared the graph with IMI over the last 3 months to measure against a boring engineering benchmark. May & June they were in lockstep and July WEIR outperformed by 10%. The sectors have not been very discriminating of individual companies of late, so this might well be significant.
FT site still shows a high level of shorting, which might well account for some odd volatility.
tratante - how do you get the % on loan figure?

[cockneyrebel] 20/7/2012 21:04

lol you never know! :)

[phil140158] 20/7/2012 19:29

Jon - think your on the wrong board, mate!

[jon827] 20/7/2012 18:32

i was just looking at the chart, wonder if its going back to 957 to fill that gap?

[phil140158] 20/7/2012 18:26

Most likely explanation, IMHO is someone/thing! closing a short position. Certainly a very strange daily chart?

[jon827] 20/7/2012 17:56

anyone found out why yet? :)
