Forgot - also long ICI (for now)!!

Thanks for your imput Big Al, as I said earlier, this really is shaping up to be a really interesting thread.

lw - the Investors' Room is not a button I click on as regularly as I should! ;-)

Al

nice to see you coming over to this side lol. Interested to know why you are short WBY?

Fundametalist - good question! ;-)

Yesterday, saw a load of sell bots so helped them by taking out an order at 435p. Second, there's a pretty strong support/resistance level around 440p, which it hit off 2 weeks ago and again yesterday. Thirdly, I'm rather bearish on housebuilders anyway with rate rises coimng along thick and fast in general. Also, am firm believer housing market is stuffed - CYD profit warning a couple of months back showed what the top end was doing and it's all been donhill from there really, depsite what "official" figured say. Would be happy to take 10p for now.

PS - I'll have a bit of RDW if it pokes its head over 350p for very long as well.

;-)

Big Al.
Nice Of you to join hands with us at the INV.BB. we are honored.Please keep the advice and views coming and your no-nonsense comments which would be appreciated when need to kick A*** to put us in shape

rgds

zarif - it's usually me that needs a kick up the a**e!! LOL

Big Al

thanks for that, reason for the question was WBY were my employers up until 6/8 weeks ago! I was regional FD for them in Manchester. Shorting on general sentiment to housebuilders seems sensible enough, only danger is potential takeover bid.

Fundamentalist - ah! Gimme the info! ;-)

Trying to complete a short order on RR. just now. Partially filled. It's at res of 240p. Stop on new high probably around 245p - will see how it goes.

Out of ICI -1.

Short RR. 240

Covered ROK +13 ;-)

2 large trades on WHT at mid today. Results tomorrow. Hmmm

Went out for 3 hours to find no new posts! Oh well, another day tommorrow.

lw - no-one wanted to talk to me so I buggered orf!

;-)
