it does sadden me that i have to post what my interpretation of the Chart is.But where there should be a rally,albeit when it went down in a straight line from 64p to 39p,or the recent straight fall from 56p to where it now,there is none.There should have been one inbetween these prices on both occasions,but hardly a blip!!.
That shows incredible weakness on a chart,whether it be due to shorters or God forbid something lurking in the background that we don't know about !!.
Either way it sure don't look good.Of course one day the shorters may well get spooked at some good news and the s.p. will fly.But WHEN is the Question ?.The other thing is that anybody hoping to catch the bottom will probably need to be very nimble to catch it right,as when it hit 31p (or just lower),it went to 39p all in one day !!.The bottom may well be missed if you blink !!!.
As for all those underwater,i suggest a buy at 25p may be the only way of improving their average.Those that bought around the 31p level should hold esp if they have confidence anyway.
I survived the '73 crash,bought, and got caught out on Slater Walker that had a book value of circa 150p ,and crashed to 10p,all that in a BULL market run from January '75 to now.I've had my suspicions about markets for a long while especially back then when i had 20 shares bottoming at the time,i picked 4 of them that ended up staying static while the other 16 went up into the wild blue yonder !!!!!.Perhaps the S.P. only goes up when the P.I'S are uninvested,and as soon as they buy,it goes in reverse.Ho Hum.
As for other shares to look at.When the dust settles in March and the wrecks of all the small eateries and small pubs that get wiped out wholesale,i think surely that Wetherspoons and MAB will survive and take advantage when the recovery comes in that sector.The only thing to think about and work out is the entry point,of which i'm working on.
