Re: Woody must be as sick as a.... Woody comments on Saga:Woodford Equity Income Fund, launched last year as a higher-yielding alternative to the Equity Income fund, also suffered from the heavy fall in the shares of Saga last month.Shares in the provider of travel and insurance services for the over-50s are down 36% since December's profit warning, as the collapse of Monarch Airlines took its toll on the group's tour division and the broking business faced challenging conditions. That has seen the value of Woodford's holding fall to less than 1% of the Income Focus fund.'Although this is clearly a disappointment, we believe it is yet another over-reaction by the market and that the shares still offer attractive value, with a yield of around 7% well covered by free cash flow,' said Woodford Investment Management.'We are satisfied that this dividend is safe, but it is now less likely to grow than we had previously expected.'Cheers,

Re: New CEO and new broker needed Well Lance Batchelor spent nearly £100,000 on SAGA shares last month, and he's already 15% down on that deal. Either he's a fool with more money than sense, or the market has got this one very wrong. But as we know that rarely ever happens.

Re: 2 year RSI TWELVE (!!) Well last week the sp rose nicely into the 126's - that didn't show any thoughts of bad news to come. This week it's fallen into the 116's. It's too volatile. Two new ships on the horizon, inward investing for future growth (yes that incurs cost). Nice dividend, low p/e, encouraging investment comments in the papers. This has to be the bargain share of 2018.

Re: 2 year RSI TWELVE (!!) Think the markets are thinking there maybe more bad news to come. Don't think share price will go up until the market gets some positive news from the company. Can't say the management fills me with confidence.

Close enough now to the bottom? Apropos my post of the 7th Dec, it seems to me that much of any 'window dressing' pressure has probably now been seen with the sp having come back a further 10% odd since then and with only a few dealing days left for this year, I guess we're now 'in the basement'.Ergo, I think any further downside is likely to be minimal from here, given the probability that bargain hunters will likely move in and gain the upper hand shortly as the New Year gets underway and so I've now gone ahead with my purchase at 125p, fwiw....Just my view, anyway - sasa.

Woody must be as sick as a.... Parrot - given he's been reamed on this as well as Capita again today. It seems there are few stock that he picks out of the 129 in his fund that have performed.46 or so of the 129 are unquoted, so heaven knows if they are worth anything at all.Of the high profile failures he has :-Babcock; Rolls; Centrica; Provident Financial; North West Biotherapeutics; Circassia; Next; Drax; Prothena(well it's looking like it might be) .....He's done ok on Abbie Vie; Burford Capital and PurpleBricks (but for how long?)Saga and the AA have equally pummelled his portfolioWell at least I only bought Saga at 130 and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm as big a chump mesen -- but a lower entry price chump at least.Games

Re: Possibly the best buy signal you might g... " Goldman predicted $200 oil per barrel for 3 years ago and then after issuing a broker note started selling oil futures. " There have been other cases of this happening. A while ago I posted details (on iii I think?) of another (documented) example that had come to light. Tip of the iceberg I suspect - mostly we won't get to hear about it. We're just retail/private investors. What does it matter if we get screwed by the big boys? Trust no one (least of all, brokers*).* Although Numis called 480 then 400 for ISAT and I had 406 as my target (not there yet but it's looking distinctly possible) so maybe they're not all bad (all of the time?)What was it Buffett said - be greedy when others are fearful, etc. And Rothschild - buy when there is blood on the streets. Makes sense to me.
