Looking like a good move atm stupmy.

[stupmy] 15/4/2019 09:22

I suspect I'll regret this, but I've taken a 6p profit and closed out my WMH position. If it drops back here I'll be looking to buy back in .

US news will push Hills higher and put them in bid range

[stupmy] 12/4/2019 13:31

Maybe I'm being over-optimistic on this, but the potential rise here looks big when it comes. Price touched 169.5 today. Currently, it's 168. I think that if we close above 168.5 the rise could target 182. That's based on the chart pattern from March 12th to today forming a somewhat unconventional iH&S. If you also take into account the Dec 11th low (2018) we are probably looking at a double bottom pattern. On top of that 6 out of 7 brokers have it as a buy with an average target price around 250. The 7th broker has it as a hold. I'll be trading it, but looking to build a larger position.

I bought back in at 158-159 this morning. I'm planning to accumulate some, but we'll see how the chart develops

yes - not a massive purchase - but yes, not bad

[bor491] 05/4/2019 15:19

haven't they got mrgreen now?

[trentendboy] 05/4/2019 08:44

At lows already - I think FOBT will hit them hard but this is priced inThey really need a deal - 888 are cheap now - they should move quick

I've dropped the rest of my shares just below 164. Despite yesterdays insider buy if that's what it was, I get the feeling it might be time to sit out for a while.

[stupmy] 03/4/2019 14:19

Dropped 40% of my remaining shares at 164ish. technowiz, I think it has further to go to the upside, but I'm worried the US500 is getting toppy. I'm rationalising a few positions. I dropped half of my Barclays yesterday and if we saw 168-170 on WMH I'd close all of my remaining leveraged WMH positions, leaving me just a few shares. I was happy with the 151-156 profit (rationalisation of positions), although in hindsight I'd have done rather well waiting a little longer.

[technowiz] 01/4/2019 09:01

well done stup on your 151p you're in the money today!!
ignore that looser catswhiskas. waste of space.

[catswhiskas] 28/3/2019 08:31

I think you are wasting your time and money there are better stocks to trade than William Hill .

[stupmy] 28/3/2019 08:17

I closed that add just below 156, that also allowed me to close a 2nd position with an entry around 158. Overall I came out with a small profit, reduced exposure and the hope that the price will now fall back to the 151 area. Reason was the gap down at close, the moment it filled. I shut out half of my leveraged holdings.

[stupmy] 26/3/2019 10:36

I've added today at 151ish.

[rbonnier] 22/3/2019 16:25

Its those two clowns over at GVC Kenny Alexander and his chairman Feldman who go and tell investors how undervalued GVC is then off load £20 million pounds worth of shares between them two days later Absolute numpties who have infuriated and un nerved the city .

[rathean] 22/3/2019 12:18

Just added a few at 152 and change. Still a lth, I see the landlord discussions RE : High Street bookies as a positive and aggressive move, reaffirms management strategy imo dyor ofc.

[stupmy] 18/3/2019 09:25

Time will tell I guess. Price bouncing for the moment. if I can reduce my stake here or even close out at a profit I'll be happy. Bit overloaded for the moment.

[jon123] 18/3/2019 08:45

not so sure any rent is better than no rent there isn't exactly loads of business wanting to take out leases on the high street

[stupmy] 14/3/2019 19:46

That would explain the decline I guess. I can't see how that's going to sit well with the landlords and doubt it will save many high street outlets.

[trcml] 14/3/2019 18:32

WH have written to the landlords of approx 900 shops requesting 25% rent reduction, to take effect on March 2019 quarter day. I have copy of the circular letter. WH say "Without a sustainable cost base our high street business faces inevitable decline and closures. We are asking our entire landlord community as a whole to back this initiative as the only way to deliver a sustainable business. Without support there is no option than to explore other more drastic business restructuring alternatives."

[stupmy] 14/3/2019 08:31

RBonier, where do you get your 120 figure from? Chartwise 137/138 is a support level. Then there was a crazy 85p level in April 2009. I don't see 120 anywhere?
Personally, I was getting a little nervous that the chart pattern was a bear flag, but that isn't what has happened. The drop looks overcooked to me. There will be a decision point at 155/156 (falling tl resistance). If the price gets back over that I'd like to think, that in the absence of news/wider market falls, we'll get a rise to at least 161/162. From a charting perspective, it might well be that 149/150 was a double bottom (Tue Dec 11th and Wed Mar 13th).
