Moneyhawk is right on the vagueries of the sp, particularly in an AIM company.
I have 3 shares - a week ago one was on a long term downtend but the indicators said it was about to bottom and find some stability - there has been no news at all but it did what the charts and indicators said.
Another fell sharply but the charts said consolidation and then a small rise - no news but it has done exactly that. the other, JLP, is in a long term uptrend with news expected. The charts and indicators said a fall from 3.75p to 3.3p or possibly 3.1p. The news hasn't changed that and the chart predictions are spot on again.
The charts tell us what people are doing - they don't reflect the chats on here as the chatters are generally positive about the share or come on to warn / wind up the believers with some negative thoughts.
JLP sentiment at the moment is one of relief that it has finally started re-rating upwards and a little profit taking / folks getting out after holding shares in the red for a long time. Anouncements and results can have a positive or negative affect on the sp but are most influential if they are in accordance with the general mood or sentiment of the fluid investors, not the resident ones or LTHs as they are often called.
Good news now will help the sp but if it comes when the punters are starting to consider investing then it will have a supercharged effect. About a week from now, some will be getting ready to get back in, sensing a bargain and the indicators will show this - announce a new deal then and the sp will propel upwards, but it will go up anyway without any news.
Find a share with excellent fundamentals that is under rated - e.g. JLP then use the charts and indicators to study the sentiment of other investors - this will help you time your purchase and top slice to re-invest if this is your strategy.
