Would have had FRES....but in here instead....see how she goes

FRES....up 39p......

Slaughter

just another buying opp SC.....if it looks ok

Not calling bottom SC.....but it will be of interest to me to see what happens if and when it hits that number....secret squirrel stuff...if I told you...MI6 would have to take you out......lol

Just had a quick crunch at BARC.....looks like 153.3 will be an interesting number.

Topped out in May 214....today 159....55p down altogether....which is down 25.7%....surely that must be bottom

BARC.....already down about 11% since August?....might be getting near the 15% kick in the teeth the chippers are taking

BAG 782.00 -4.00 -0.51%
BP 537.00 +5.00 +0.94%

Just woke up....see I didnt miss anything....or did I

Kinda flat on the 296 as a midpoint for bouncing...and no yank markets to pep it up....looks like I can have the rest of the day off

Took advantage this morning...bought and sold....all in cash at the moment....good old Glenda, she recovered a fair bit of the loss in MKS....and see it is well below where I sold this morning....to buy glen of course :)
Glen...always dependable for a wee turn

Peaked on 7 Jan 2018...fell back and strangely enough, bounced back up to the Jan level before starting the slide that continues to today. 18 March it touched on the 6900 mark so breaking below 7000 is not unheard of in very recent times.....on the 10 year chart...a couple of common points show...the best being resistance at 6950s...the next level being 6684......maybe history wont repeat itself this time?

Been watching the FTSE100 for a bit now...the main stay blue chippers. A common theme is them being picked off one by one with a downward ttrend of 12 - 16% drop. Apply that to the whole of the FTSE and say they FTSE will drop from its high by lets say 15%.....it peaked at the 7800 mark (ish)...so a 15% drop would take it back to the 6600s....oh dear!

Good question Billy...just had a look at it now....half of its worth from 4 years ago...why...no idea....in recent times it was a sure thing for the 7 quid mark...a far cry from 12 - 17 quid in its hay day....a sign of the times...you just have to get on with it, new trading ranges.....2008/2009 harmed a lot of the financials, even the good ones felt the effects of the sunami ripple....europe took its share of woe....but we march on...adjust, and make a bob......I look at cycles and see the downfalls and how long it takes to recover....faceless entities such as companies will march on regardless and scratch a living...its the poor old investors I feel sorry for...those who buy in good faith on the basis that profits and income rise and fall on 10 year cycles.....the trick most have yet to learn is when to pull up stakes...wait till the "correction" is finished and start all over again with the previous 10 years earnings preserved......

Like so many...no rhyme or reason as to why a share takes of north with nothing new on the board....Go back a few years when STAN also fell off the cliff....like many others I dived in and bought on the daft lows...it recovered as fast as it fell....lawmen were after its scalp....punters knew its worth hence it went back up as quickly as it fell....madde a killing on that......however...the acquisition to me looks to have been a crazy move....Astrazeneca alreay have that Lynparza . . . ( breast cancer treatment) that is banging up good data. BUT...GSK being who GSK is...they will bounce....buyers will just need to be aware that it could be a day or months before they see a return on capital....short termers wont benefit from the divvy.

Its not hard science....its trends and historic info: 1 Sept 2015 it hit a low 1240's....between then and1 July 2016 / 1 May 2017 it had two high spots, 1692 and 1707...the lows getting higher...the highs getting higher. Last sore dip was 1 Nov 2017 when it hit the low 1280's...went on to peak on 1 Nov 2018 at 1620's......been on a slide since then....today it fell off the cliff...down 123.6 to 1498....having levelled at the point on the hourly from 1400 onward....buying was stabilising the sp.Looks like the market was not happy at them buying Tesaro for $5.1 billion (makers of cancer drug). Some suggest that Tesaros drug is not unique, making GSKs acquisition a bit of a white elephant.......the drug...Zejula : Zejula has had difficulty in making sales headway against Lynparza, which has generated formidable data in recent clinical trials.......a lot of money left GSK both in acquisition costs and on the fall in SP, the persons bailing most likely to have more in depth info on the effect of the acquisition than us poor mortals.....historically its worth 1576 of anybodys money in the good times....BUT....it bounces between low 1300's and 1450's........the highs above the 1450 mark are short lived......I'd be looking to see it below 1450 before I'd think of buying.

Still plenty of them kicking about for the shorters Billy...and knowing Ivan....he might be the first in line to offer them on loan...at a cut...they havent been cancelled as far as I know, just sitting in treasury...handy having got them at bargain rates for when the divvies are being paid out in shares via re-investment instead of cash
