RE: Bdev going up at a faster rate22 Jul 2018 04:35
Hi DiviC
Working late again - last 5 years Sp movement graphs for 5 main Builders (psn, tw, bdev, bwy & rdw).
Just to contradict myself, I said I won't sell tw until Sp reaches av float (208), but if in short term my system tells me sell tw and buy psn (or whichever company) because it will outperform tw - it has to be better to sell tw at a loss, than hold.
The timing of the movement is critical, in my system this is based on based on RNS's and Divis (and my gut feeling for the Companies).
Observation. When sentiment -ve Buy (maybe 4 weeks) before XDivDt, and sell just before XDivdt (after hopefully an increase in Sp to reflect Divi), cos Sp could well plummet after XDivDt If sentiment +ve do the opposite.
RNS's. Study Sp movement after RNS's. Generally with builders there are 4 peaks and troughs per year. while some make no difference and can be ignored.
Trouble is all is SNAFU right now cos of Brexit. How does this affect Supply/Demand for housing?
Completely agree it is most frustrating, and Per's of less than 9 for growth companies is madness!
If the market was right, Great investors would make no money!
