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.

Stop to 416.8 to lock in + 15

Stopped out. Chart looks dodgy right now, see what happens on Monday (interim).

Excellant interim, shame I didn't have more faith to stay in the spreads but win win either way. Strong resistance at 440.0

440.0? not so far, fingers crossed becomes support.

Getting hammered today, bang on 50DMA, if support goes @ 440.0 back to 420.0 to close the gap?

Reckon 420.0 might be nailed on here?

Gap closed near as dam it. Bounce or 400.0? Jobs report tomorrow will probably be the catalyst. Watching.

executive director anne richards must be laughing all the way to the bank having sold 1.4m of her shares.

Blimey, she got her timing right hali, missed that.

bad....bad.

Nah gf, it's only bad because appetite for risk is off the table till probably September. Had an excellant run,sold half good divi. I'm taking the summer off, golf and bowls take priority. If I was trading it probably short on the spreads to 385.0 then start building longs. Good company.

That broker Chris is the top of the pops.

20% off in 7 sessions.

FTSE down 7.2%

Id think about selling if you are in profit.

Dont get CAGED in.

Thanks for your concern gf. I wont. :O)

Chris straight up now no pith taking either of us. Are you the one whos a big Robby Burns fan?. You went on a training course.?

Just asking as my mate Anton Kriel is looking for new entrants to take the Institute Of Traders exam and weekend course before it.

If your interested let me know quick as limited and I mean very limited places left.

Wouldn't say I was a big fan, I have a lot of respect for Robbie Burns for obvious reasons.
And yes I went to one of his seminars in 2007 worth every penny imo. Thanks for the offer, know very little about Institute Of Traders, will do some research and if It helps me in future trading may give it a bash. Not right now though thanks mate, as I said, want to make the most of whatever summer we get this year.

Cheers Chris, just google it and youl get an idea.

Have a good weekend.
