SOL - Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company

[HelloU]

not talking about that .....talking about since the report, and associated dump, and now toot toot. I have no idea why .......does anybody have toot toot thoughts? surely more than tpg - unless nbn related?

No interest in talking about why peeps should have bought 12 months ago ...more interested in the future ....and no chart available for that yet.

So tell us about the future of SOL. What are your thoughts? toot toot doesn't tell us anything apart from perhaps you've had too much to drink.

Even throwing up a chart would have been more informative.

I have never seen an instance when that was true!!

I agree with this bloke ......and would also like to hear any thoughts on this latest toot toot......

Good posting Greg as always .
We need many like yours to lift ASF to regain its position - thanks
SOL is a great stock. I have been late entry but happy to get 72% return in less than 12 months. The risks are with this stock is heavy reliance on TPG and BKW. But SOL is a long standing investor and people have forgotten that it started as Soul Pattison Chemist and we all know it as an astute investor on real gems.

so would you tip another, say $50K, into it tomorrow at $28.34? or is it being pumped right now?

as a non-drinker I can say that your post was a cheap shot .....and that a thread that has not been accessed in a year does not help new forum members understand current price movements. The latest movements are imo more than div scalping .........but I will leave that discussion to those who can lift the quality of ASF ....and gracefully bow out.

Hello U
good question but on ASF there is a certain norm we tend to follow when I joined here in 2007. Not sure if ASF still follows that. One thing is for sure we do not predict prices here.
Besides, every one as you know has different investment strategies - some are day traders and some are long to medium term investors.
As I said, I have been a gainer on SOL. Should I put $50K into it - NO. That amount is depending on my portfolio strategy where I do not spend more than 5% in any stock with the exception is HT1 and CVN where my quota is more than 5%. $50 K is more than 5% of my total portfolio. Would I buy at $28.94 or so is dictated by my expected growth from SOL. I have already gained 70% and do see it may go up another 20% in the next 12 months. I would keep my investment on SOL and not increase the holding. I would invest the same money on stocks where I do not break my 5% holding strategy and hope to get 25% in 12 months.
Regarding your disregard on past 12 months is very interesting. All charts and projection based on past trend so 12 months history is essential to project future.
If you have any other technique to develop a chart - you are welcome to show us. I would love to learn and burn my MBA Finance degree certificate immediately.
Why not you come out with some constructive analysis as well than throwing stones? Extremely disappointing to read your comments on this forum. It is a voluntary one and the main ethos here is collaboration and not sarcasm (In my view). BTW, I am from a non-English speaking background. I do not know what TOOT TOOT means - not a joke and seriously I do not understand.
Thanks for understanding

that was not a prediction ....that was the price that was paid YESTERDAY by someone for SOL. Any SOL watcher would know that.

It is why it is running post ann that interests me ........and there are no constructive offerings to this question so far for the consideration of members in this SOL thread (and may be one of the reasons that the shares part of the forum is struggling)

If I want to be criticized, and lectured to, for doing a post I can go elsewhere for that.
If I want to see a 10 year chart on a stock, I can go elsewhere for that.
If I want to discuss current price movements of a stock, it seems I have to go elsewhere for that.
....toot toot.

 

[HelloU]

the irony here is that in a share thread that has not seen a post in OVER 12 months my contribution is considered to be sub-standard and therefore not worthy of inclusion by the thread police..........whilst the most popular thread on the site at present is about old white homophobes killing the forum.

i have not posted in that thread by the way .... on purpose.

Hello U
Good morning and have a good weekend.
You are a free man (I am guessing a man) so do what your heart likes.
May God bless you with wisdom and good feelings.
I have chosen to ignore your postings now.

I first bought SOL in 2009. I've added but not sold since then. At the moment, I wouldn't add to what I already hold. The reason is the low yield - I prefer dividends and am not about capital growth - so I think in my case if I were to put any more funds into the market, I'd be inclined to purchase MLT. Better yield, below NTA and it holds SOL as well. But that's just me.

Why SOL has shot up in price, I don't know.

My remark was actually a bit tongue-in-cheek.

I agree that a thread that has not seen a post in a year does not help new forum members understand current price movements. But neither does "toot toot". If you wish to discuss current share price movements then that would be welcome. Meaningful content is the name of the game, not "toot toot" or "bump".

that is the point though ....the 'bump' and 'toot toot' ...you had a look ......and maybe went "what the hell stock is this and what do they do" ...... then asked "what does this bloke know that perhaps I do not know" ...all in between reading the thousands of posts in the old white man homophobe thread.

If my contributions are worthless then feel free to ignore me, but know that I do not 'grade' the value of yours (I just read them with thanks that there is something to read that is stock related).

So, back to SOL, there is a rumour running around and that may be the reason for the SP rise post report. But I cannot chart a rumour till later ........

Shining a light on something often over looked is a good thing, SOL are very very astute investors, Clover, TPG, Newhope and many other stocks that they saw something in a decade or so ago all doing rather well, if there were genuine Aussie money manager rankings SOL would be top 5 for sure.

They have a big chunk of MLT and vice versa, I tossed up which way to go, and went MLT for dividend.

I'm curious about the catalyst for the close to 10% dip on SOL today? Anyone have any ideas? It ended the day down 5.21% and having glanced at the annual report released this morning, I can't see anything that's glaringly negative (mind you, my fundamentals analysis is not the strongest). Only correlation I saw was perhaps the 9% dip in API in the last 2 days.

Volume in SOL in the last 5 days was very high, perhaps in anticipation of today's report and today's dip and high vol were attributed to panic selling by those who bought in the last few days?

Don't follow SOL and know nothing worth while posting about it, but ….. The Chart for this year has been nothing short of stellar

A stellar Chart eventually has to have some Punters taking advantage of the associated rise …. and this is usually done by the "smart money" at various levels around the perceived tops ….. Nothing sinister, but maybe the $30 area is now not the time to buy

Although price is within easy striking distance of the ATH, bearish divergence is of concern.
The depth of the pullback will be interesting.

that dip was Voldemort .......it is now dead and buried. we cannot talk about it though nor mention its name (actual results were out 1 month earlier on 20sep and not related to the oct dip).
recent trading cycles that have been VERY lucrative are now ..........well ......... 16Nov (this week) will be the fork in the road. will be interesting to see what happens then and if any pump interest remains for cycles without the div carrot to work the whip. i will sit out the trading from mid-week for a bit to see.
