aberdeen asset managemnt this company has fallen from 1.90 per share in may down to 1.34 now. despite having really good broker recommendations, as being a strong buy. Lets hear views and whether or not if you thing they have a good chance of recovery. I have quite a few shares and am wondering whether to stick with or move the money into something else.

Had a great run from Aug last year. Support @ 220.0, trading statement 23rd March. Worth a punt (SB) Initial target 240.0 stop 219.0. In @ 230.4

270.0 next stop? Interims 03/05 Interim ex-divi 09/05.

Above 270.0 stop to 265.0

J P Morgan note:
"Aberdeen remains top pick.
With Q1 completed we have marked to market for market levels and fund performance at the end of the period. Compared with our last Update note (24/2/12) estimates are generally little changed for most of the stocks, and indeed the average PER multiple is also little changed. Since the start of the year we have materially increased estimates for Aberdeen, which remains our top pick in the sector, but have once again reduced our Man Group estimates.
The sector has modestly re-rated in the year to date, but at ~10x for 2013E is not expensively rated compared with history. Arguably the clouded picture for market returns and funds flow will constrain any further multiple expansion, requiring outperformance relative to the sector to come from self-help."

I like this stock Harry, stopped out last week on the spreads. Buy order (spreads) left @ 272.60 see what happens, difficult to pick a target all time highs, so if triggered will try and get stop to entry as soon as.

Probably being greedy, indicators are good not overbought on RSI, stop to 265.0 again it's a teaser :O)

Stop to 278.0 to lock in + 5

Stop to 278.0 to lock in + 5

There's a parrot in here :O)

Stop to 283.0 to lock in + 10

Back in long on the spreads @ 274.1 tight stop.

It has been emotional (as Vinny would say) can finally be confident to put stop to entry.

Cocked up the text above :O)

It has been emotional (as Vinny would say) can finally be confident to put stop to entry. 300.0 target.

Stop to 284.1 to lock in + 10

Chris, if you want to correct post 23 above, you have the "I" of "It has been...." before the chart image - just move it to after.

Cheers skinny,I'll have a go tom, bit inebriated won a golf final this aft. Hic!

Stop to 294.1 to lock in + 20. Unless volume increases dramatically can't see 300.0 being breached, overbought on RSI which isn't fatal but a warning.

Gone long on this one just now. nice chart and solid fundies....



Forward P/E of just over 12 to 2013 seems a bit stingy.
