Proptrade,

I kept my analysis as simple as possible because most people think that pegs hold clothes on washing lines.

The charts reflect the sentiment within the market. That sentiment may be driven by the fundamentals and/or newsflow. At the moment it is not difficult to see how market sentiment is weighing and you need to look at the fundies and the whole EVO story for a reason, although I acknowledge that it is subject to change. Anybody trading the stock should be trading what they see is happening now rather than what they think might happen in the future. A long term investment is generally a short term trade gone wrong.

I really do agree and your last sentence is certainly a small holders mantra.

SEY is a stock that may have some hidden gems in the safe but in the meantime they are just working out the combination. Whilst this is going on the company is trading well but the price is slipping due to lack of information flow. i would be more concerned if there were rumours of multiple size sellers cutting their placement stock but at the moment, as i understand it, the sell pads are pretty empty.

As you are aware these stocks can flip in a moment or collapse at the same rate. i just think we are rangebound in a tight range until news is forthcoming and in the meantime this is a wait and see play.

short term we would all love a 20% flip in stocks on a daily basis but since most people tend to be less disciplined then we just pick a few well researched stocks and hope that paradigm shifts make our days just a little brighter.

For short term check out AMEC. great trading stock. i am long from 293 two weeks ago and looking to flip around 330. give it a week or two.

looking at charts for hardman/ premier oil near same- so we hope for positive news from mauritania soon.

I knew you couldnt resist - could you do us a favour and draw us the future chart for a longer time period - say a couple of years.

As for the comment "A long term investment is generally a short term trade gone wrong" i think it is probably fair to say that about those whose main time period is short/medium term trading. Personally i mainly buy and hold, my main 3 shares i have held all 3 for over 2 yrs and the worst one is up 60% and the best one up 200+% - i wouldnt call them trades gone wrong!!!

Evening all just a flying visit,hang in there prop,,,pop,,,,,,,,haaaaaaaayyy.

Around 1/2 million shares bought in the last knockings today.

Someone is playing games with us holders I think!

if it is shorting -seems to be a lot of this in oil sector- more a less same charts for premier, hardman, woodside with sey -joint interests think we need a positive trading update soon.

HNR up over 7% in Oz overnight!

Crikey!

Tiof 6 news leaking perhaps????

has a corner been turned here??? Hils get ready with your 17p short!

Not yet, Proptrade. There were a couple of aspects of the chart that I posted last week which are preventing me from re-entering the market one way or the other at the moment.

i am sure, it was just a Monday morning comment to see if you were around!

out of interst where are your entry levels (both sides)?

big 5 mil trade at 15.25 just went through!

can't see 5 mil trade going through?- can see on advfn 500,000 sell- proptrade you aren't short of this are you?> total volume around 7 million so 5m trade seems unlikely.

5,413,333 at 15.25 went through the market. chack out the time and sales click through (a "T") next to charts on the quote page.

lizard, i am most positively long of this stock. love it to pieces!

apologise you were right- advfn doesn't show this- will check further.

no problem at all! better stick to this site then!

gathering pace, up 1.25

about time they moved the offer of 15.5, spread seems tight on volume.

thank you

Bit of excitement here today, nice rise though. I wonder what the drilling update will bring tomorrow. HNR and PMO up also. Interesting large trade earlier.
