Yup I missed the sell signal. Yet again we have a buy signal from our friends Britishbulls but at a lower price than the last one. As usual it probably does'nt mean much. We're in yet another dead cat bounce by the look of it before the next swing down catches us all. I can't believe the debt situation has materially changed from yesterday. Apart from Oxb and Oxp I'm in cash and will watch events from the sidelines as not tempted by anything at the moment. It looks like the central banks have run out of ideas to deal with the growing debt overhang and slowdown, so its a matter of whether we can sail through rough seas without being shipwrecked in the process. A staggering amount of money has been wiped off stocks already and more to come by the look of it.
oversold but with markets in a negative mood there's not much we can do. so much for britishbulls buy signal last wednesday. meaningless as I thought.
Maybe you are right but the market is pretty poor at the moment. Certainly don't want to put any more money anywhere. Just a tad disappointed with the sp but without positive news to drive the sp higher, it will tend to reflect sentiment in the rest of the market. Let's hope the partnering discussions will lead eventually to something.
does the market manage to mark down a stock with no trades or is this the MMs trying to drum up a bit of business...?? Its either that or does this trade on the ISDX ?
Out of interest britishbulls has a buy out on this. We'll see if that means anything or not.
I guess we're going to get stuck here until there's some concrete news on the partnering discussions. No real share movement or trading volume.
I admit the share price is trying to move up but it appears to be in a tight trading range of 6.5 - 7.75p. would like to see it breach 8p but when....??
Odd price movement from 7.01p to 7.65p and back down again. Seems unable to sustain a higher price. Good trading volume though.
Good question re who is selling.?? Market nervousness or loss of faith in a successful outcome in current partnering discussions. Market at the moment is very jittery and my few stocks getting battered some thanks to TW bear attacks. Not good. Thinking of clearing out altogether before things get worse. Glad I'm mainly in cash. Most of my initial profits came from Cpx which I sold at 6.35p but now the volatility makes the market almost impossible to read anymore. just look at the rise in Cnr based on.....well what exactly.
struggling to recover. Hope we can move up a bit more in the days ahead. Market still a bit shakey.
You can find links a few pages back re TW's background and history. He's not exactly a clean sheet himself. Probably profiting from a short by spreading panic. I find it difficult to believe there's anything fundementally dishonest going on here.
Sadly you may be right. Rumours can easily spark a sell off when the fundementals have'nt changed. This is'nt GBO. MMs always make a buck.
Simon Thompson does'nt get all his tips right by any means. He was proposing a target of 400p a few weeks ago in both the online and printed edition of the IC and the market thanks to TW etc has decided to differ. Such a volatile reaction is not pleasing to any of us least of all the institutions who coughed up 330p for the purchase of RM after performing due diligence. The market will have to decide when the sp starts to look like a buy again. The p/e is still quite rich but future growth looks strong. Still it's not difficult in a jittery market for for negative rumours to start a sell off.
Considering the bounce back in the market its not a good finish here. Maybe the interview was'nt uplifting enough. either that or sentiment here has been knocked back by recent negative press. Hard to tell. We'll find out in the days ahead.
I thought the question and answer format involving investors was quite good. The questions were fairly wide ranging and addressed by JW who appeared a bit nervous and tentative to begin with but got better by the second half. Obviously he could'nt comment on the falling share price, negative press from TW and name the institutions backing the RM purchase. Nevertheless there were quite a lot of positives coming out in the interview. We'll have to wait for the april trading update to see how things are going. When the oil price finds the bottom and markets settle the sp should pick up. We're not there yet unfortunately. Meantime JW simply wants to get on with growing the business which is just as it should be.
Agree with all your points. Of course Jw should not be asked to address a certain bloggers negative points of view and I'll be surprised if he is. Paul Scott will be working to a tight schedule of interviews with various Ceos of the companies he has selected and will want to delve into Trak's past present and future to present the listener with pertinent easily digestible information. It should make a useful listen. Please report back all of you any comments you wish to make.
To answer your question both Sev and Trak run a similar type of business though Trak is well ahead of the game in its own area of operation. What will end all this trouble will be the release of further good trading/financial figures to show trak is continuing its growth trajectory. That should bring a bit more stability to the sp by ending the wild swings in the share price. Its seen 4p and been trading between 2.2p - 3.6p. Don't forget institutions paid 3.30p to fund RM acquisition and they can't be happy to be this much underwater. I accept that the falling oil price is weakening sentiment, but what has that got to do with the fundementals of this stock. When is the Paul Scott interview .??
is being hit again by TW bug. He's gone for Sev this morning.
Agree progress has been good and hope that partnering discussions go well. There is a lot of competition in the ibuprufen market, but its so large that a reasonable potential slice must look attractive. Pricing will be an issue.
