Long and short14 Jul 2020 23:31
To actively trade long n shorts can be tricky amd most people do not do it, while the perma bulls would never like a short player, the short player will most likely play both sides of the coin, most investors are not doing it as a full time job, the ones that do and make money by playing the market in both directions, should be looked upon as the Holy grail, the board should be happy to have such contributions amd points of view, it can really help long term holders to not suffer so much with equity raises, shares often get caught in trading patterns, we've all seen it, watching amd trying to learn wpuld be natural progression, recognition comes first action comes 2nd, once the step over is made to try and make money both ways and actually achieving profit you will obviously keep on moving forward and developing a strategy which suits your trading style, rarely is a share in the UK worth holding over 20years straight, new news and market conditions should always affect your position and your decision on your investment.
I personally appreciate reading solid good views on markets, oil, shares, opec, interest rates etc, the people that share these views are priceless if correct, lots on all boards talk silly figures, you should see it over on EUA, its down to your own perception to sift through and find the good posters, I normally read about 500 to find 1 decent post, I would say CashFerret has been bang on so far, so why knock him ?
Today's movement seemed ultra strong, previously I was expecting another slow trickle down another few %, PMO has been fighting hard to stay above the 40p mark, oil has heaped pressure on the SP also, until today this looked like a walk down to about the 36p - 30p mark imo, after todays monster afternoon run maybe there is something positive for tommorow, we will see, we know Zama is up for sale and negotiations for the field has been demanded by the government, so maybe so postive news on Zama, can't think of anything else other than some dry hedging and some figures that show a small profit, not enough to warrant todays rally, as long as its not the ri. If it was a buyer moving in i would of expected larger
Let's hope to see something good tommorow ??
