ARM price seems to be going through a three month flattish period after a 1 year or so steady rise. Any views on what might happen next?

Goldfinger - I love ARM - I have a core holding from @£1 and have traded it many times - youngs bitter beckons!

Events Past Future

FEB 16 ARM Holdings PLC at Natixis Roadshow

FLASH: Naxtis upgrades ARM Holdings from reduce to neutral, target price increased from 530p to 600p

Nice to see a uK business doing well and sp pushing upwards £5.40-ish, but for me it's far too high with 1% yield and a PE nearly 3-figures! [DYOR]

At £1, I might be tempted.... but I never get these things right.

ARM SELL
This was yesterdays top tip on Investors Inteligence:

ARM Holdings has been failing to reassert its long-term price uptrend for some time. More worryingly, the stock is retreating from its recent highs. This raises the possibility of a long-term top formation (see right).

Note too that ARM has breached the 200-day moving average. Technically, we are always wary of stocks falling beneath its 200-day MA as this usually signals that a change in trend. Also, we note ARM's falling relative strength.

A medium-term short may thus be opened here, with the initial stop advised at 630p, a stop to be lowered as soon as prices move in favour. Target 400p.

Broker sell.......

12:35 FLASH: Morgan Stanley upgrades ARM Holdings from equal weight to overweight, target price unchanged at 650p

Make your mind up :-))

Changed yesterday. took a small loss.

NOW back long.

With the new IPad launch yesterday, probably better to be long rather than short.

Inded indeed. markets turned on a sixpence in last 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the short in ARM was also stopped out as the stock gapped up yesterday (the IPad 3 effect?). Looking back, I was dumb not to tighten the stop on Wednesday.

Range trading on ARM proving
to be a very profitable stratergy.

The ONLY way is up at present.

Flippin' heck, two days ago there was -37% DOWNSIDE!!! Far too scary for my liking!

ARM accelerates as large-caps extend gains

ARM’s chips are found in smartphones made by the likes of Apple and Samsung, as well as in items such as printers and sewing machines. The Apple connection appeared to be getting traders hot under the collar as they reacted to Apple’s new iPad, a new version of its tablet computer.

But as well as that excitement, ARM investors were also heartened by Morgan Stanley upping its rating to “overweight”.

Depends wether your trading or investing with ARM. If your trading you have to be ready to go with the direction of the present trend or you can get burnt badly.

Taking a small loss here or anywhere is better than letting a trading stock become an investment stock. If you cant do that and get emotional you wont get anywhere as a trader.

Anton Kreel chap who was in Million dollar traders prog a couple of years back BBC 2 commented on ARM a few days back on twitter. Said something like... anybody who thinks because ARM is a good company is a good investment is deluded.

Here we are his exact tweet........

Anyone who thinks ARM Holdings is a great stock needs to stop takin those mushrooms. A great company doesn't necessarily make a great stock

Arm's latest processors aim to stretch internet's reach

Arm Holdings has unveiled what it describes as the "world's most energy-efficient microprocessor" design.

The firm says that microcontrollers based on the "Flycatcher" architecture will pave the way for the "internet of things" - the spread of the net to a wider range of devices.
