Definitely the bonus divi is an attraction. Give an example... I did my research and looked at the chart over the Easter hols and noticed a bullish flag pattern. There was a gap up which could have been filled but I had worked out that if I could buy at 45p as an entry with the divi on the 12th April that would equate to yield of 10% .. I bought in yesterday at 44.8p to ride this divi.... plan worked and i offloaded today at 50.7p for a 12% rtn in 24hrs. Always good to take your profits if your trading ... will watch this ... still have another week to run so my buy back in ...will see if this continues tom or there will be some profit takers...

Was the Divi not supposed to be paid today?

In today's current environment trading in line with expectations is simply not good enough. I am witnessing all around shares being marked down even hammered on results day due performance in line with expecations or below .. or worst missing analysts targets. Nothing short of exceptional results seem to be the order of the current market. Fundamentals are sound .. healthy b/s and a good dividend payer...

Hi SUFCESSEX hope u are well. U know i have supported you in previous comments but shooting out a figure of say 180p come XD date is interesting. Do you see that on a technical level or just guess work? Its true savings accounts wont pay you anywhere close to 6.5% but neither will a deposit account lose value (not taking into account inflation) but the deposit account will be safe. Unlike CNA where we could potentially go back and re-test lower. Looking at the chart it doesn't look that way though but i continue to see resistance at 148p. SP is slowly filling the Gap down (window) of 23.11.2017 so i can see why you are confident but who knows where the sp will be. If i was pushed for an answer i would say more likely higher than lower but thats the million dollar question? I for now am out and back on the sidelines and if it clears 148p i am in. all the best

agree with Fruitster and Kellogs regarding the bulls taking control. I am still sitting on the sidelines because with the preliminary announcement in 2 days i fear the risk factor in taking a new position is too high despite positive price action. How the market will react is anyones guess so will sit out and watch the pricing action on Thursday.

typo i meant 22/02.

I think right now taking a bet (thats what it is) on a Sp prior to an upcoming Trading Announcement here 22/08 is risky. The market at the moment is being very brutal on companies that do not exceed analysts expectations. If results are not taken well this wont just fall 5% it will be brutal. I'd rather stay on the sidelines and watch price action post the announcement.

yep Kellogs would term this the Accumulation Stage ( if one follows the Dow Theory ) The Accumulation phase usually occurs right after a steep sell off in the market. The steep sell off in the markets would have frustrated many market participants (myself included) losing hope of any sort of uptrend in prices. The sp would have plummeted to rock bottom valuations, (yep) but the buyers would still be hesitant of buying fearing there could be another sell off (this is your level of equilibrium Kellogs). Hence the CNA sp languishes at low levels. This is when the �Smart Money� enters the market. Smart money is usually the institutional investors who invest from a long term perspective. They invariably seek value investments which is available after a steep sell off. Institutional investors start to acquire shares regularly, in large quantities over an extended period of time. This is what makes up an accumulation phase. This also means that the sellers who are trying to sell during the accumulation phase will easily find buyers, and therefore the prices do not decline further. Hence invariably the accumulation phase marks the bottom of the markets. More often than not, this is how the support levels are created. Accumulation phase can last up to several months. Once the institutional investors (smart money) absorb all the available stocks, short term traders sense the occurrence of a support. This usually coincides with improved business sentiment. Bring on the 22/02 .... Borgy

Do you ever use Renko charts in your trading arsenal? CNA right now looks like reversing again on the 15 min chart... https://www.tradingview.com/chart/SagSEa3D/ close of 1 block (red) below VWAP.

some good posts here about how the Market is ripe for squeezing liquidity out of the private retails investors. If any of you have 2 hours to kill i recommend you watch this video from Anton Kriel (ex Goldman sachs) = its an eye opener and i highly recommend to watch. link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7G0OfJUON8 i hope u get something out of it

Rockd where did u get the RNS from? its not uploaded here on LSE site. I did receive an notification from the VOX Markets portal but then could not read it.

DACS where do you get the RNS update from? is it Vox Markets? This LSE is very poor as they have not as yet uploaded the RNS. I received notification from Vox.

I will wait for the next preliminary announcement due on 22nd Feb before i take action. The market right now is brutal on trading updates and to call this at a certain price is difficult. The support lines go back now to March 2003 where this was at same price.... all i can see is price action to the downside and it doesnt bode well. My only consoliation is that i lost �3.5k could have invested in Carillion.

called it quits with CNA after holding for a year. Should have sold long time ago and will now move on... loss crystalised �3,4k. Can live to see another day.

IQE�s share price has been volatile in recent months. This could be due to some profit taking in my opinion, with it down 10% in the last month following a period of intense growth. With IQE having raised capital last year, the company appears to be in a strong position to capitalise on its mass market growth possibilities. Sure, the stock may be higher risk than some of its index peers, but with it having a PEG of around 1, I think its risk to reward ratio is promising.

illbetabuck you nailed it on the head. "For shareholders it's the end" one of the first things you learn in Business Studies if you are a shareholder.. the risk of investing in the asset class known as shares/equity ...

Apologies not flat but flag

AL75 bearish flat... ummmm. Try acending triangle which you�ll find is bullish
