british land (BLND)     

andrewcaldin - 11 Oct 2007 09:57

are property prices on the way down because blnd is showing a slide to the down side

so were you brave (or do i mean foolish) enough to short say 10,000 so that the profit is meaningful - always assuming you have now closed off?

skinny - 14 Aug 2009 10:39 - 43 of 118

Yes I have closed it - a tad early it would seem! Good volumes today on BLND and TW.

Anybody here holding Taylor Wimpey..??

skinny - 14 Aug 2009 11:03 - 45 of 118

Yes - in an ISA bought earlier in the year, sold half and took up the rights issue on the remainder.

I bought in a couple of weeks ago looking for the recovery ,however i can't help but think this market is starting to get ahead of itself .They looked a good long hold to me.

Hi Jimmy, yep Im holding tw.

Good day so far.

Been thinking the whole market is due a correction very soon but it seems to eeek out small gains each day. Been reducing position size and overall exposure.

Yanks all go away in september so we might have 10 fair days left until october but you never know with markets.

Hi GF ,not trying to be a doom and gloomer , i'm in quite a few at the moment ,it just seems to be too blue every day ,,anyway i'm nicely in profit if the market does turn .And you have to be "in it to win it".

cynic - 14 Aug 2009 12:10 - 49 of 118

for myself, in that sort of sector have bought BDEV, RDW and SVS ...... WOS is still a good bet too i think, but i have enough stuff for the moment

jimmy b - 14 Aug 2009 12:25 - 50 of 118

Cheers cynic ,I nearly bought BDEV a few months ago (wish i had now) ,,I'll check out the rest ..

skinny - 14 Aug 2009 12:31 - 51 of 118

To be honest, back in Feb/March it was a case of pin the tail on the donkey with the builders (with hindsight of course) :-)

goldfinger - 14 Aug 2009 12:43 - 52 of 118

True skinny, true.

goldfinger - 14 Aug 2009 16:49 - 53 of 118

Closed at 511p, not me the market.

Could be a lot of weekend coverage here with 2 parties alledgedly interested.

Added more 20 mins before the close and already a small profit if IG is to be believed.

NAV at 31/3/09 was 398p wait for results on tuesday, buying on vague takeover rumours is not a good idea.

cynic - 14 Aug 2009 17:23 - 55 of 118

i bought on chart break and thus momentum ..... still far from foolproof i admit

HARRYCAT - 14 Aug 2009 17:24 - 56 of 118

I just bought 'cos everyone else did! ;o)

P.S. which, thinking about it, isn't such a bad strategy so long as I sell when everyone else does!

halifax - 14 Aug 2009 18:09 - 57 of 118

Harry....before everyone else does!

jkd - 14 Aug 2009 18:25 - 58 of 118

jkd

cynic - 14 Aug 2009 19:15 - 59 of 118

and don't just think about it!

HARRYCAT - 14 Aug 2009 20:32 - 60 of 118

Good point, h.
Lemming, jkd!!!? Surely they can't all be wrong???;o)

cynic - 14 Aug 2009 20:56 - 61 of 118
