Re: Sold too soon Lol yes very specifically next Tuesday!If youve taken a decent profit, The problem with coming back in at anything higher than 450p (which is only -25%) is that this stock can butcher you its so volatile. The flash crash in Jan took it from 560 to 395p in days!If youve run a profit its better to wait for a safe reentry point over next few months which is possible - Stock markets at all time highs- Rates rising - orange dude in White House- oil price at all time high for a while but fundamentals of shale more likely to bringing it down not up- and lets not forget the SFO isnt over yet - dividend is over for another 6 months You might buy all that risk at 450p but at 550p......you could be asking for trouble
X-div Goes x tomorrow yet we are at 599p, how nice!There might be a dip to 570p perhaps.
Re: Sold too soon next week is when next Tuesday is....but maybe that's not what you meant.In reality, there's room for all sides in this bit of banter to be right - yes the trend is currently upward and, equally, there will inevitably be some 'corrections' along the way. How deep those corrections go is a matter of interest for those of us who took a profit and would like to reload if the right opportunity comes along. A revisit to 560 would be nice for me - that would mean 60p tucked away instead of the divi - but, hey, I'll see where it lands over the next few days.
Re: Sold too soon did i say next week?
Re: Sold too soon It's dropped like it ex-dividend today, if it also does an-ex-div dip tomorrow then that only gives you 2 business days to get to 650p or you have to shake hands and retract calling Jack a cunnie
Re: Sold too soon Ex dividend tomorrow so one would expect the corresponding fall.What else happens depends on the chaos the big man in the white house causes.
Re: Sold too soon Correction - 'today's 592.6 opening price' - should have been: 'today's early low of 592.6' PFC actually opened at 601. A bit sloppy - apologies.
Re: Sold too soon Indeed.I will unreservedly apologise to Shuggle if the sp is £6.50-7.20 by next Tuesday.I'm sure he will do likewise.
Re: Sold too soon Hi Boyo.Joking aside, I am open to the idea that TA can be useful in certain circumstances - such as timing an entry or exit - but, as you say, this might just be because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.I'm also trying to consider at what point I would re-buy the 20% I sold, as I do think the SP has potential to be significantly higher at some future point.I sold at around £6.20, so I'm thinking somewhere in the region of £5.50-5.60? Perhaps 10% at this point and then hold out for £5.25? At worst, these prices will never get revisited, in which case my remaining 80% will be doing very nicely!
Re: Sold too soon 650p to 720p for next Tuesday. Whoever is wrong owes the other an apology for respectively calling each other a peddler of drivel and the other Unmentionable name lol
Re: Sold too soon Why Jack, surely you are not thinking that there's a fib in Fibonacci? That's heresy in some circles you know. The fact that it's most effective in markets (like Forex) where lots of traders use it does point to a rather self fulfilling tendency. It also helps that 50% usually gets added to the series to fill in an awkward gap.On an even cheekier note, I'm wondering if today's 592.6 opening price provides a clue to the sp's direction - so I've started to set one or two 'optimistic' limit buys.
Re: Sold too soon Why wait? Just get Shuggle to look into his tea leaves!
Re: Sold too soon Priceless lol!It will indeed be interesting to see what the price is next Tuesday!
Re: Sold too soon Lol!
