WTM - is that a breakout?

OUTLOOK Royal & Sun Alliance FY profit seen up 9.4 pct

WTM must be a breakout because I couldn't get any online and when I phoned through there were 2MMs on the offer at my asking price and they said no :-(

Grrrrrrr all 5 MMs are blue now.

Thanks for highlighting WTM. It is a Breakout to New Highs, look at the chart going back 14 years.

Will be going Long tomorrow on this with a short-term target of 2.00 - 2.20

Thanks

Ian - WTM chart looks impressive, especially having held up so well in the recent climate, might have to join you on this breakout.

I tried to buy WTM online when all the 5 MMs were 180/185 however couldn't get a quote. So phoned my broker and meantime it changed to 182/185 and only 2 MMs left on 185, by the time he phoned the 185 limit price was rejected and it moved to 184/187. I finally gave up to be honest with you.

However, there has been some positive responses to my WTM posting and so will look to buy some in the morning. Actually not just a normal breakout but an all time new high (look back over the 13 years). Now I am all for ladies first however I saw these first and so please wait in the queue :-) only kidding all the best with your trading/investing.
