Hope everyones not too disappointed by the lack of SP action so far today. It was supposed to be 3p DERR or 30p S4 according to skier1 yesterday so thats something !
A demand shock is possible but it will be temporary, shale gas cannot make jet fuel or decent octane gasoline for that matter. New technology .. there is none do you know how old tech batteries and electricity are ? I suggest you do some more reading before basing your investment decisions on false premises.
Well he was at the Singapore Grandprix if thats what you mean. I jest of course but what usually happens is a client ( and F1 Sponsor ) would have given him the full VIP invite.
This a marathon not a sprint so I'm not expecting to see a profit tomorrow ( hope to be proven wrong ) but over time this could be a very good investment indeed.
Not the conventional approach you can say that again, you must have bigger balls than Mr D ! Still can't believe he sold out at a pound after all the pain he went though here ! If he sold today I think he would have made approx £350k !
INMHO its possible that Black Rock are accumulating and they are increasing holdings then feeding a few sells into the market to quell the rally so they can accumulate more. Time will tell but quite a big drop this morning after the Holdings RNS yesterday 14.24% 14.48% on 10 Sept 14.48% 15.48% on 12 Sept 15.48% 14.83% on 21 Sept
The shorts still have this held well down with our biggest shorter Henderson ( who seem to love shorting housebuilders also 1.51% short BDEV ) increasing recently to 2.75%
The total stock out on loan here was 13.56% at the end Aug 18
A very high percentage of people on building sites are from Eastern Europe, thats just how it is as not many people want to graft these days hence the skills shortage. ( Google Bricklayer shortage for more info ) I very much doubt anyone on Crests building sites is on minimum wage £10 hour minimum is normal for a labourer, and its hard to get people for that. Fuel costs in construction would be mostly red Diesel so its 60p a liter no big deal. It will be inflationary to materials however although that has been happening for the last 2 or 3 years anyway and Crests profit has been increasing.
My take is that it is mostly the labour costs that are increasing, there has also been a skills shortage over the last year or so. With Brexit and the low pound European workers have less incentive to come here and work. The hedgefunds are betting big on a chaotic hard brexit and that means short the pound, banks and house builders. I believe they will close on any shock event such as crashing out of the EU ( just like they did on the 24th June 16 ) This means Crest currently offers extreme value.
