sp been rising 2010 and up 14% today on better than-expected results . . . the MMs must be expecting fools to rush in...yet Sells are massivly above Buys - will it end in tears, or are Dirs buying at these highs? All rather surprising as I'd expect Kitchen-sales are all done(when money was cheap up to 2008), and if you are trying to save money - you don't splash out on something you don't need.

I mean - howden does a kitchen "wear out"? - ho - ho!

Well that is 470p well and truly broken left behind for now. Using the same strategy as HAS. Gone short (spread bet) as a trade/hedge, outside Bollinger Band always makes me nervous tight stop.

Broker Recommendations for Howden

Stop to entry.

Back inside Bollinger Band, bounced at last resistance 490p hoping now support.

On the bounce, a close above 50DMA would be encouraging.

Now back above 50DMA, for how long place your bets.

For eternal optimists like me if SP can crack 475p it will be third attempt in just under twelve months. Volume required. Or just a dead cat bounce?
