Re: Timing Am I the only one that would like to see a counter proposal???I know nooothing
Re: Timing You were right on thinking dodge and I can imagine some people with inside information have bought leading up to the rise and now sold for a quick buck so to speak as there was a significant shift this week with no reasoning Fortunately the word some was mentioned and not all in my comments so can't be too disheartened I just wonder if that was the first indicative offer and hopefully now there is an indication it is open for business others might come in and have a look as we open our books so to speak I know nooothing
Re: Timing Callun, in advance I have to say this o/t. However, as you seem like a geneuine individual, have a look at RBD. RNS yesterday that people have mis-read. Genuine potential IMHO.
Re: Timing Thanks for the sympathy, and well done on your call yesterdayCallun
Re: Timing Unlucky mate. Wonder how mushroom is feeling?
Timing Damn!Sold 12 minutes before RNS!
Re: Anyone know what's happening here? Hi Love Music,I am surprised that ALD has been such a disappointment to you, and not sure what your term "ages" refers to.ALD floated in March 2015 at a price of 192pHad you purchased your holding then, you would be sitting on a paper profit of around 35%.There was a difficult time around the Brexit referendum, with a crash in price to an all time low of 102p.Anyone with the good fortune to buy at that price and still be holding could now realise a profit in excess of 150%.Of course, for those with the gift, there was an opportunity to buy in July 2015 at the 318p high, and sell during the Brexit crash, losing nearly 70%.My point is that trading is all about timing; it requires patience and an aversion to greed. For some, ages can be more that a few minutes, while for others it's a lifetime. Each has to decide what trading plan suits them, ranging from day trades to buy and hold, and what targets to set. Once decided, and if it works, stick to it.I guess that many of us here will have expressed the same sentiment to friends "do the opposite to what I do". I know I have, often.I note that the SP is currently back to the year high region seen at the end of April. I suspect it will hover around this until the Q3 statement on 9th Nov.Good luck with your tradingCallun
Re: Anyone know what's happening here? A Mushroom Kept in the Dark said:'It was only up 5% as I sold some recently as I thought I had a better short term prospect elsewhere 'I so sympathize with you. I am the same. If only the Market knew the effect I have on prices, they would all beat a path to my door to ask what I am going to do next. For the truth is, I buy a stock and it promptly falls, I sell a stock and it promptly rises.I tell my friends that if they want to get rich quickly, all they have to do is the direct opposite of anything I do, and they will do very well!But I am glad to see All-The-More recovering. It has been a real disappointment in my portfolio for ages.Love Music
Re: Anyone know what's happening here? Possibly speculation of a first dividend being announced on the 9th November. A payment in 2017 was the prospectus target.Next month there is the faint possibility of a rate rise, which should give ALD a boost.Callun
SP rise Possibly related?? to article interactive investor 5/10 rating ALD a buy...
