The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with London Stock Exchange Group's Chris Mayo has just been released. Listen here.
registered on LSE.... no probs..... Tiz all up from here.
over reaction I reckon. I'm still buying....
Don't know where you get your figure's from... but I agree in principle. Back to AAZ.... is it just me or have they actually insinuated losses... or just a failure to achieve projected profitability. ? The loan announced today protracts from 'placings'.... which is great news considering the amount of recent investment ... Reckon the recent dive is due to investor boredom... Fortunately, I'm blessed with patience, as well as taking advantage of these incredibly low prices..
Dodgy this....!!!!
big balls mate to be in anyhow....... Spread is too wide for me... you know MM's only do this to give themselves an element of leverage as a result of uncertainty... The withdrawl of Government funding within the Educational arena has hammered a huge nail in here. Had a good look.. but not for me chaps... Plenty of stock to look at around this price with a little more upside... All the best fella's....
Goverment pulled educational funding.... The guy shelling out £25k to keep it going..... Someone bails £21k a couple of days ago... The writings on the wall me thinks....... But then this is where the people with huge balls make or loose fortunes
as I say...... You know better than me.......... I am paranoid and there's every chance I'm very wrong.. I hope so.! Best of luck....
it bounces back for you guys.... but this ones not for me.... I know I'll be made to eat my words.......!!
Don't disagree.... but for me investment banking does what it says on the tin..... I'm so gutted... this looked good to me and I had a punt.. to my small loss.. But the facts are there for all to see... Lloyds out (for some reason or other which I initially thought positive).. More reported buys than sells...apparently...!! sp going down.... Somethings wrong here....!!
I took this on as a punt resulting from a bit of research last week, I quite possibly should have done a lot more research..... In my breif time dealing shares I am clearly no expert, though it seems to me share dealing is like philosophy.. there are no rights nor any wrongs, you've just got to do the thing you believe in.... You may be right or wrong, but there's always going to be someone who disagree's..... Though one things for sure, if your account is showing a loss, then you are loosing.... I thought I'd bought low on Friday with the anticipated good news. Looks like I was wrong by at least 1.25 and counting at the mo..... sometimes you've just got to own your own sh!t and move on. There's much more to play with... No doubt my personal stance will be a depressing mistake, as will my next venture.... but hey.. you live n' learn.. I've also no doubt I may be seriously kicking myself in a few days.... Win some, loose some.....
I chipped in last week at 17.5 and my buy was shown as a sell.... Doesn't appear to have been a huge amount of trades here as far as I can see today though most are showing as sells..... and the price is dropping..... I know I've a lot to learn as have many others, though regardless of dummy buy's, overhangs buy's being sells and visa versa this is still going down... I had a quick look into this last week and got a good incling, and although I hope I'm wrong, the currently 'apparent' fact is the sp is going in the wrong direction for me to risk any further loss. I've been shaken out with only a small loss though I sincerly hope you guys with bigger balls do well with this... Lloyds aren't selling out for no reason.... tis in their interests to make money...!! Hope I'm proved wrong, but for me, there's somethings not right...... I'm gone. Good luck
Apart from March RNS's informing of Lloyds decisions, this (as I'm sure most will have seen already) are extracts from the company's last RNS statement. "Group agencies have maintained a strong new business performance with some signs of the beginnings of recovery, as previously indicated, in the Property and Financial Services sectors. Recent wins include Redrow, Canon, Avanade, M&S Money, Skills Development Scotland, Legal & General Investments, Oasis Dental, Virgin Media, Manchester Airports Group, Blockbuster, Holland and Barrett and Sensodyne. We are continuing to take initiatives to ensure the Group is well placed to benefit from a cyclical recovery." Sounds pretty good to me.....!!
all this apparent buying pressure, which confuses me as showing sells and not buy's is taking us in the wrong direction...? Unless, these are actually sells, it doesn't make sense to me........
the buy / sell thing.... is this manipulated..? Where ever the price, why can't a buy be shown as a buy and a sell as a sell.. Naive I know....... was explained to me a couple of weeks ago, but I still just don't get it..... All this technology.... and as someone said not so long back, we put men on the moon 40 years ago but can't distinguish the accuracy difference between a buy and a sell today....
unless I'm missing something ( which I probably am of course).. During March Lloyds have reduced their holdings, but still hold somewhere in the region of 5%... Lloyds have many fingers in many pie's and I'm guessing they swap and change just like many PI's.... just in larger amounts... If this is the only thing that has affected TMMG sp over the last month, surely that can only be good for the PI's.. As we turn the corner from recession, I'm again guessing but, perhaps marketing and promotion may well be again prevalent in the upturn... To this end you would expect companies like TMMG to air a sense of optimism....
I still think this could be good very short term..... ie, one week... at least....!!
I appreciate your response... Did a bit more digging early, though still didn't find anything of any real substance.... If this was simply down to a badly worded RNS you would expect some serious interest here over the next 5 days particularly.... I understand their results are out at the end of next week. I'll do some more research tomorrow when I have time... but at the moment, unless someone can convince me otherwise, this seems a pretty good bet... Thx again..
New to this one, though I'm trying to find out why this dropped by 100% over the last 8-10 weeks...!! Doesn't seem to a lot of news about, where are the details that would explain the dramtic demise in value...? What am I missing...? I know this type of business will have been affected by the recession, and I'm sure they've found it challenging as everybody has, but there seems an air of optism, even as far back as last December, as far as I can see, and no real explanation for the drop.... There seems nothing recently than notifications of expressed interest.... Can anybody point me in the right direction...? This started out a just a punt for me, though I beginning to feel this could really good..... undelievable in fact.. Have they made redundancies, closed operations, down sized, lost business... whats going on..? Advice required, before I shove anymore in...... the research continues.... ! I will have my tin hat ready for the incoming from you seasoned pro's who know this share well....
Snickers was the guy who helped me with that...... I just copied it for you... Yes ABH are just a bit quiet at he mo, still anticipation evident though not as forthcoming as they normally are. This one did look cheap to me, and if you check them out they're a big old do with quite a pedigree...... though it doesn't look as if they dish statements out like fairy cakes...... So with a cheap price, news in the making for the end of next week and a little research I though I'd have a go here rather than seeing my ABH holding slip into deficit...be keeping a close watch though...
A helpful man called Snickers gave me this peice of advice the other day... "Look at the disclaimer on the share trades page - it says they often get it wrong. What often happens is that the spread might have moved by the time the Plusmarkets receive the trade price. So the trade might be a few minutes old but the spread is live and the LSE site (and others) works out which side of the mid price the trade is on to calculate whether it is a buy or sell. So if a trade a few minutes old is matching against a rising spread (or falling) then it is assessed against a new mid price and can often be distorted. As TMMG has been rising we can see this happening a lot and the sells are not sells but buys. hope this explains it - check the price against the spread and you can usually work it out for yourself." Not sure I fully understand it all yet, but working on it....
