From the above data and chart Ive come to the conclusion that CWD is behind the curve and will probably start to catch up with the other predominantly southern based Estate Agents.

If you compare by P/E ratios CWD is certainly far cheaper going forward but this is not the only tool we should measure the performance by.

Rightmove seems to be the more established and perhaphs business growth is slowing relative to the other 2 competitors.

Anyone else with any thoughts on the investment case here?????????

Moving up nicely this afternoon.

thanks sticky ...... i was a bit dozy and forgot to check out while the market was open ..... i'll put them on my watchlist for possible action in the morning

Cyners certainly cheaper on P/E basis and Foxton and Rightmove floats makes these look cheap imo.

As the London price rises start to spill out to the rest of the country will these get chased up like Foxtons and Rightmove?

i may sell 50% FOXT and put that into CWD

Sounds sensible, as Foxtons may have a breather.

Thanks for taking the time for the comparisons gf.

No probs Im in healthy profit already and Ive just done a communications exercise (wink) around the various B/Boards with this post.

Havent had the time to do one like this for a few year.

It was either this or a half day fishing catching nowt.

lol, I'm in Tenerife for ten days. Sick of the rain at home. :-))

Very nice DC, jammy so and so.

Chart Breakout today on good volume.

Lower indicators looking positive.

Lol gf, only trouble is everyone has the same idea, packed.

Off to a positive start to the day.

Steady as she goes.

thanks for the heads up sticky ...... have bought in albeit only this morning; still, it's marginally in profit already

ohhhhhh good.

Not bad on a down day for the market so far.

this one has suddenly got excited (+23p) on no news at all
the stock is fairly thinly traded, so most probably something of nothing, but worth keeping an eye on

this one has suddenly got excited (+24p) on no news at all
the stock is fairly thinly traded, so most probably something of nothing, but worth keeping an eye on
