Re: Watch list Couple on here say £2 - lol

Greyinvestor 14 Jan 2015

Watch list These are back on my watch list. A better settlement than I expected will fund rationalisation costs, and volatility will come roaring back into the bond market any day soon. This could put a floor under the price. I wouldn't pay north of £3, but a decent bit less could become appealing........

Re: Placing to part fund PVM deal Games, you sold and made a profit = result! Trying to catch the exact top or bottom is a mugs game. The sp has gone up but it could have easily gone the other way... I'm looking to buy back in to TLPR when the price is right. Just keep them on your watchlist and be patient.

Re: Placing to part fund PVM deal Well that was a mistake leaving the ship at 290.The $100M dollar settlement has boosted the share price nicely.Games -- That'll teach me to hold on to my initial instincts and rationale

Re: LG and FRTEB looking like class dunces meant to say I am only in jest.

Spain Fund 13 Jan 2015

LG and FRTEB looking like class dunces at moment. Not in market except for one share but TLPR was my second best for profits until you started saying will fall to £2 which swayed me to avoid. Surely this line thing only works over time if no changes like takeovers and mergers?

Re: Placing to part fund PVM deal FRTEB -- I sold at 290 so will see what gives, nice profit here. I wanted to free up the cash for other opportunities. Not getting a good feeling about financials -- now out of banks (apart from a small residual Barclays stake) mains stream insurers - just retained BRIT and LRE and will collect a great windfall from CGL sale to XL.Games - still think TLPR will do OK and haven't seen any announcements that Terry Smith has offloaded his huge stake in the company since he left. Maybe there will be a much lower point in 6 months.

FRTEB 09 Jan 2015

Re: Placing to part fund PVM deal " FRTEB, What are the factors that make you consider TLPR is sub 200 stock? ...Games -- apart from charts, is there something else you think is going to drive this lower? " ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---Games, apologies - I have only just read your post from 20/12/14.I sold TLPR at a profit as I thought it was looking toppy. Did I think I was selling at the absolute top? Well if I managed that it would be a first! I said when I sold that I would look to get back in at much lower levels and said I could see this heading for < 250. It did. On 1st December it reached a low of ~ 243. The key levels that diagonals on charts point to usually act as springboards for a bounce. That's where we are now - a pretty substantial bounce, admittedly. ...I also said I could see this going "possibly as low as 175 later next year" (2015). That is not to say that it WILL go that low - I am not 100% confident about any of my calls based on looking at charts, but from what I can see (and later confirmed by lambrini girl) and with my thoughts on the likelihood of high volatility for markets in general in 2015, I am confident enough to still be watching from the sidelines. There are far too many indicators suggesting markets are heading for a sharp correction IMO.As for fundamentals, I use these as a yes/no for companies to invest in (and occasionally trade). If it's a yes then I look at technical indicators and more recently chart diagonals too, in order to try to find reasonable entry points. I make mistakes (don't we all?) but I'm getting better at getting it right more often.To summarise, I see chart diagonals as another tool for the toolbox, but I have to say that I think diags are a pretty powerful tool, not least because they are past AND forward looking, unlike just about every lagging technical indicator.DYOR etc.As a PS - If fundamentals are the only thing that matters, or even the 'most' important thing, then why do share prices sometimes fluctuate wildly for no apparent reason? And in the same vein, why do stock markets crash? The markets are driven by a whole combination of things, so my 'heads-up' to anyone reading this is not to rely an fundamentals alone when making buy/sell/hold decisions.
