Thread: f/a/o popes

popes i said i might be away for 8 hours, but ended up snotting someone on my arrival at the pub. barred. ready to debate tw. now. what,s your view on today,s upsurge ,shortlived?

I think you,ve got to look at the current share price and realise TW has come a long way since 5p. Also dont forget the dilution which has occured. 3 times as many shares so i,d share the real price is somewhere around say 100p. Thats a long way from 5p. So on balance i dont see it shooting up. Also got to remember i have,nt a clue what i,m talking about.

I've doubled up on TW today (at 40.44) hoping for a short term rise to give me a boost for my LLOY and YELL rights issues. Hoping for some positive Broker Recommendations to come out of today. 43p would do me. Hoping the DOW will help things this afternoon - futures been looking OK this morning. Could really do without it slipping properly back into the thirties - seems to be making its mind up at the moment.

The institutional purcahsers are like me; they do their buying after lunch (pat pat my full belly) Now, while this is the most positive trading update I have heard from TW in 15months of investing, do not expect a nice steady rise to 50p and beyond. The share is awkward and a s*d; I am merely pleased that with such a postive rns at 7am, the price didnt crash to the low 20s! Given the great news,and it is great news, volumes don't seem...

Popes will be the first to agree he made some really bad calls earlier in the year with banks, that is in the past and we all made some bad calls. It has the effect of course of making you wary if you think the market will go against you. Of course on a day like today you are scrabbling around like mad to try and buy and hope it is not a one day rise ! Good luck to you all. I have about 20% cash waiting though i did buy a few more shares...

Had I answered Fowler, I'd have said the same. It's weird, because I FEEL like Popes, but the INFO says differently. This week that means I wish I WERE Popes as he's sitting on a big pile o cash, but next month he might wish he were me when the stocks we agreed were good ones take off!! I just don't know. No-one does. Popes, you've been on here a long time through the good and bad times of TW and you've always...

A different spin Popes Last set of unemployment figures showed trend slowing considerably with peak now likely to be as close as 6 months away and possibly below 3 million. National debt is high, but the penny has dropped and the political landscape has changed. It is being dealt with whether Labour or conservatives get in next time as they don't want UK PLC to be downgraded to junk status. If recovery takes hold, government will cash in...
