Kindness, are you a bit deluded? BOO was exploiting the poor & vulnerable by allowing their suppliers to break the law over the minimum wage and taking the profits from that practise. If they had not been found out it would still be going on.

Brilliant!! Thanks guys... you know me very well... (that's nice...)

and notwithstanding any of that lets keep our fingers crossed that 21.5p does get broken because at the end of it all we all want the same thing... an ever increasing SP! :0))

fair enough Noob, but difficult for me to get that based on just a rec :0))

for it to be a good day, the SP needs to break up and hold above 21.5p. As its pretty close, today could well be the day, but what I want and what the SP will do don't always chime.....

Hi Agent, I just did it to see how many recs (if any I would get) and just because I posted something pretty pointless but reassuring ie the SP would go up, I garnered more recs than pretty much anything else I post. It just confirms how emotionally tied people get to their investments, and just want to hear confirmation of their decision even though or if it is baseless.

I have a good feeling about today!

(Just thought I'd share...)

Epson, What's your point? I see a stock that indicates its going to increase in value so I buy it.... and that's cynical?

Why did you buy in? just liked the arrangement of the letters of the name of the company?

I do not have a love affair either with the company or indeed the flimsy bit of paper that is my betting slip.

I only buy into stocks that I think will rise, and sooner rather than later, but hey, that's just cynical old me.....

Scotty, when you said reversal of a trend re:TA I thought you meant stocks or indices. I did not know we were going to talk world events which FA, broadly did not predict either, so what's your point?

picking or spotting the reversal of a trend in a stock is tricky but the profit is the best, so (as i keep saying) money management is a fundamental part of TA and is key if you are using TA to try and make money on shares etc.

I have no mission in life about this (although I'm sure some, or indeed many here would take issue with me on this), but there is a lot to TA and a lot of criticism levelled at here (and on other boards, is often through a lack of understanding of how it works and what it is trying to do and it is when I read those types of posts that I try and explain it in a bit more depth.

Truly I could care less. if people are not interested in it, or don't want to know about it then don't read my or other posts on TA, but sometimes the level of misunderstanding is so great as I just can't let it go without explaining the rationale behind it.

The irony to me is that its hardly as though FA is that reliable either is it? Some Fund managers don't seem to be able to pick them. (You know, trained experts in all things value based) All the advice is pick a tracker because you can't tell who is going to make it and who is not in any particular segment.

But hey, TA, unreliable codswallop...No problem.

before we are both (rightfully) castigated as just a tad OT, the best line for me is in Josey Wales when the young bounty hunter, given a chance to walk away comes back and says "I can't, its my living" and Clint says "Dying ain't much of a livin' Boy! and then shoots him! Ha! I can watch the film (any film) for one good scene, gag or memorable line

.....Vino veritas... dear ST, Vino veritas

You do realise ST that we have something in common that we could talk about without any disagreement!

(That's why I don't like it, when on some BB's (not this one), it gets so personal. You don't know who you are talking too and if you met them down the pub under different circumstances you might get like a house on fire)

Ah well, the dubious joys of social media.

"Trouble is that TA is not very good (in fact never proven of value) in predicting reversal of a trend"

Wrong wrong wrong wrong… well I could go on, but you get my drift.....

I'm coming ST and Hell's coming with me!

BP, you could lose all your money by being an "investor " too. Its a strange thing to say when you have invested in a small cap high risk stock like this.
it's all or nothing here. Sure we can argue the chances of it all but if they do strike out, its game over. Its pretty much a binary bet.

Prae,...No!..No!.....Stop It!.... (Damn..that's an image that's gonna fester now)... Thanks a lot.....

steady robbo, don't judge me by your own standards...…….. As for ST, that's just wrong... perverts... all of you....(FA perverts at that!!

At least, if nothing else, there is a genuine FOMO now....

Ok.. I'll take that as a yes, (I see what you did with the "sales pitch" comment, nice touch as a parting shot...:0))
To make it easier for us both please just filter me?

ST " ...I will drop the argument if you don't mind as I prefer to discuss about the Fundamentals of HE1 than the merits of chart analysis or traders' psychology...."

Suits me ST, (does that mean when I post or respond to a question you won't chip in and tell me that most Day traders lose?)

ATB

LG, I have used TA for about 30 years: Started day trading with limited success (hardly surprising as a novice and not understanding myself emotionally and how you can get absolutely wrung out with the psychological turmoil that is part and parcel of this game).
Had a break for a couple of years and then when I went back to it, I had surrendered my trading platform and data links and therefore needed to find a system that worked for me and that was out of necessity with the limited tools at my disposal, worked for me.

I find AIM no different to any other market with the proviso, if anything its a little more predictable because there often are more PI's in these small stocks than other funds/large stake holders, and given people are very predictable I find my interpretation of the charts pretty reliable.

I don't buy into MM as some here do. (I am sure it goes on, but only at the margin, MM's can't simply ignore the reality of whatever the buys and sells are taking place over any particular length of time. And they will prey on PI's nerves, (the deadly Tree Shake!) but by and large I think they do a good job in a restricted market making a market to allow buys and sells to go through. (I can't be the only one that notices that when the SP falls its MM, but never when it rises?) That fact alone should remind everyone how emotionally biased they are once they have skin in the game.

There is a wonderful pattern the RSI makes in conjunction with an SP chart that when they fall in line are remarkably reliable. So, that's what I have available to me, that's what I use and so far so good.

Final point, another poster mentioned the 4hr chart (which is fine), but the time interval is critical in developing indicator and chart patterns. I think the time interval should reflect the trading interval. So if you are going to use a 4hr chart then you need to be buying and selling either intraday or at most intra week.

As I am trying out this experiment of holding for potentially weeks/months I am using the Daily Close chart as I am looking at a longer term trade(s) it makes sense (to me) to use a longer interval time chart/indicator.
