Completely missed this DOH!!!!

In 2007 all time high hit 390p (ish). Tanked to 60p by 2009, recovery play started 2012.

Last 12 months interesting pattern on the chart gives me a clue when to press buy and join the party.

Chances are on Monday due to latest buy recommendation from Midas (the herd) will buy, possibly fear of missing the boat whatever.

A line chart as opposed to a candle chart illustrates this indicator best, bit clearer.
As an indicator Bollinger Bands are very reliable. When share price reaches top or goes outside it, at some point it will retrace and dip back inside.

On the occasions as illustrated above when SP dips and reaches bottom of BB has rallied the hardest.

So far despite Greece/Syria/Threat of interest rises etc remains on a mission to reach initial target 10 year high 390p, end of year maybe sooner who knows.

Bear with me skinny :0) Haven't technical nouse to include everything into one post yet, same with Elliott and Fibs to learn. (on my to do list)




Throw in moving averages 25,50 and 200DMA which can be clearly seen are going the right way. Another observation the 50DMA (green line) when SP dips and hits it has rallied the strongest.

Again MACD has been consistant, apart from June well overbought, which coincided with SP being at top of BB, dipped bounced off 25DMA and on to another higher high.

Slow Stoch, again consistant. Getting close to a top again.

RSI - Ditto, close to overbought.

Cracking chart, buy Tuesday on a dip?

Or sell on a rise today!

Well it did retrace back inside and back up again :O)

Problem at the moment is volume. Both ways. Watching.

Consolidated nicely back inside upper bollinger band as expected. Watching to see if it bounces off 25DMA or 50DMA to resume north/trend.

Well there is the bounce. Question is how solid.

Ideally, I would like to go long bang on 50DMA to make it worth while, way to go yet. May not happen of course. Still watching.

Bought a few @ 343p to tuck away. Ex Divi 22nd, final end of Dec.

Nice bounce off 50DMA with above average volume. So far so good, encouraging.

Sector not looking to bright at mo. Ex Divi today, added a few more. Looking oversold.
