Broker Recommendations for William Hill

not exactly bullish
apart from generally queasy market conditions, lots of new regs and taxes to be levied on the industry
i'm glad to have banked my profits already

Correct cyners, stating the bleedin obvious as usual :o) Looks like a screaming short, who knows?

imo, it's easier/better and more profitable to short the markets than specific stocks

I agree.

Positive start to the week so far, just needs volume to push on and get above 25 & 50DMA, lower indicators turning up.

First quarter operating profits at William Hill down 19%

Machines Games Duty. How complicated is that piece of legislation? Governments just cant stop tinkering. I have noticed that participation on these computerised mugging machines has decreased. At least where I waste some of Saturday mornings.

Watching, see how it opens on Monday, may be worth a punt leading up to Interim this Friday 7th August. Looking at the chart attempting to breach 50DMA for second time. Lower indicators moving up. Buy order (on the spreads) @ 411p if triggered initial target 430p tight stop 401p.

Down at the open, resistance 406p. Buy order now 407p same initial target stop 397p.

Nice move up today, fingers crossed breaches resistance tomorrow and trade filled ahead of results friday.

So far so good chart wise. Now down to interim results tomorrow.
Heads better than expected, tails tin hat :0)
