Need to have a look in detail at the results from CEY

[gateside] 01/2/2017 17:23

12 up, 2 level, 10 down

[nasdaqpat] 01/2/2017 16:46

Our shares market performed FTSE100 today with a gain of 0.08% as opposed to a gain of 0.12% for FTSE100. We had 25 Shares Up, 19 Down and 1 Unchanged. Added to VUKE so stock level increased to 63.9%.

FTSE losing its form again despite a bright start from America...looks like it may even lower yesterday's 7099.

[nasdaqpat] 01/2/2017 11:08

Kipping so missed the earlier 266p for BMS but have decided to give it a chance and not to sell outright as there seems to be quite a bit of support from Directors etc...reduced by a third, however, @ 259.43p in anticipation of another lurch down and perhaps an opportunity to improve our average.

In the broader market, I wouldn't be surprised to see FTSE put in at least a reciprocal Up wave over the next several days especially if America moves to new highs following a distinguishable drop over the last 3 days. FTSE could recover c70.00% and reach c7277, IMHO.

Chunky final dividend of c10.7p proposed by CEY and results and outlook look sharp to my untrained eye. In fact, I now believe the 114.6p of 15 Dec 2016 represents the base for a new Phase of share price growth so I do not intend to sell anytime soon with the current high of 183.1p the obvious medium term target. Short-term, having established a second wave yesterday, I fancy c23.0% from 141.5p to c174p.

Think CEY will do well tomorrow and reckon I'm going to wish I had more in them.

Looks like Markets are turning downwards, maybe that bodes well for gold.

9 up, 1 level, 14 down

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 17:07

Our shares ended up slightly outperforming FTSE100 with a decline of (0.08%) as opposed to a decline of (0.27%) for FTSE100. Of our remaining 45 companies, we had 19 Shares Up, 25 Down and 1 Unchanged. Stock level 62.7%.

In the end, no break day Up for FTSE100 but instead, @ 7099, its Down wave has extended to 11 days with a decline of (03.47%) which is still only a [37.78%] give back of 6679:7354.

FTSE was due a break day Up so I'm not really surprised. However, just sold out of RTO so back down to 45 companies & stock level @ 62.7%.

[gateside] 31/1/2017 13:26

Surprised at FTSE's strength today. Lots of results and trading updates due for my lot over next week or so.

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 11:57

A key determinant of whether FTSE will ultimately correct is whether Resource stocks have finally reached their recovery highs. RIO, BP. & RDSB have certainly exceeded my original targets and BLT got very close @ 1518.5p on 25 Jan.

My only direct interest at the moment is with BLT which has most recently put in a 6 wave advance from 903.4p on 20 Jul representing a 68.1% rally within a total recovery rally of 165.7% from its low of 571.6p on 20 Jan.

Looking for a Phantom now and targeting 1491p to exit!

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 11:24

Classic break day Up in this market would be c+0.80% i.e. c7163 so I put on a wee short on the spread earlier @ 7162.3 with an order to double up @ 7182 should it manage c01.07% for the expected break day tally.

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 10:45

Couldn't resist...bought initial tranche of SSE in wife's SIPP. Now 46 companies & stock level up to 63.6%.

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 10:34

Net debt at £1.1bn is a little high but it is looking to make disposals of £500m by June and, after all, it has huge revenues of c£5bn annually with a large order book. Once it gets back fully on an even keel, AMFW has huge potential to be a 2 or 3 bagger, IMHO.

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 10:22

Having said that, I don't think we are a million miles away from the right level of investment for now as we stand i.e. 62.3%...so maybe I shouldn't be in any hurry to sell stock, some of which may have already declined as much as they are going to.

After all, FTSE could have completed its Down wave @ yesterday's 6106 but I suspect that today will just be a break day Up with further downside to come later in the week.

[invisage] 31/1/2017 10:20

Too much debt in amfw

[nasdaqpat] 31/1/2017 10:06

The market appears to be telling us, Gateside, that there is more bad news lurking for AMFW!

SSE results today seemed good but that is down also...I would have bought if I was acquiring companies as opposed to looking to sell in anticipation of FTSE dropping further.

[invisage] 30/1/2017 22:47

Haven't checked my portfolio probably a down day given where the markets gone. I do read your comments though.I'm trying to check the portfolio weekly now tbh.Cheers

[gateside] 30/1/2017 22:00

Portfolio was down less than I thought it might have been today. Strength in Pharmaceuticals helped.

[gateside] 30/1/2017 21:58

Correction? With the Global news at present there are so many external factors affecting share prices, it's virtually impossible to know from day to day which way the Market is going at the moment!

[gateside] 30/1/2017 21:46

For what it's worth (probably not very much!) Morgan Stanley issued a price target for AMFW of 630p
