Looks pretty good to me.

Underpromise and (slightly) over deliver

With the good outcome from CSL published today, I think @DrBourse is just smiling to get his earlier prediction to be validated soon

 

[DrBourse]

In my post dated 17/6/23 I suggested 2 more 10% drops were ahead for CSL… That call was close enough to be correct….

Today (8/8/23 @ 11am), CSL SP is $262, their IV is just a bit lower @ between $225 to $258, that IV is nearly at the end if its tenure – Up-coming Financials may paint a different IV picture….. Need to Wait’n’see…..

CSL’s 2/9/23 Financials should give us some guidance, but we must remember to ignore any Analyst Guesstimates, as they are usually wrong every year….

A properly constructed Balance Sheet along with believable guidance from CSL should see their SP stabilise…..

An incorrectly structured Balance Sheet and Lack of Guidance could see the IV & SP drop to believable levels…. Remember CSL has been ‘ramped up’ to ridiculously overbought levels by analysts for years now…..

CSL’s overnight ADR’s on the OTC & FWB suggests more ST downside for our CSL…..

ST Inds on CSL are still not happy…..

St Bottom is unpredictable at this stage….

Gotta go polish my crystal ????s…..

Cheers…

FWIW – Just checked around the traps to see how Brokers TA looked – 7 Buy, 9 Hold & 10 Sell…..

Then, on the other hand we have the Brokers Guesstimates that look like this – 35 Buy, 5 Hold, & 1 Sell….. some Brokers are spruiking a TP of $350.00 – and unfortunately most Sheep will push the SP up to that crazy price….

The combined Brokers Calls = 42 Buy, 14 hold & 11 Sell…..

Then we have the actual Financial Analysis that looks like the snapshot below….. followed by my TA….

Cheers....

Looks like price is going up from here. Thought it may go lower to 250 - 255, but it seems not. High volume bullish bar today.

 

[dyna]

Yeah , I've given up , trying to outsmart the market.
Ah , you learn .

Refer to my post dated 17/6/23 where I called for further pullbacks on CSL…. Those pullbacks occurred as predicted…. I have made subsequent posts between then and now, the CSL situation has now changed a bit, in that the CSL IV is now $257.21, so looking at my chart below, CSL is still Overbought, and should re-test $256.02 in the near future….. All ST FA & TA suggests continued weakness in CSL… So any upturn in the CSL SP will be by Ramping or misguided Sheep action....

DYOR...

AS I mentioned above, IMO, All ST FA & TA suggests continued weakness in CSL… So any upturn in the CSL SP will be by Ramping or misguided Sheep action.... So here I list the TA infulences in play atm.....
Bearish Red Candle today, Benchmark Candle Formation is still in play, The Linear Regression is still falling, the recent Double Top Candle Formation also suggests further pullback, most ST Indicators also suggest ST Downtrend, and the are other minor signals too numerous to mention.....

C’mon UMike that’s just fodder for the Sheep – where’s the evidence to back up the opinion that you “Still think 290 is more likely than 250” ?....
You may very well be right, But, As everyone knows I only deal in Facts...

Sheep and facts do not often correlate and move in two different ways.

A$1.99 dividend, goes ex on 11 Sept

Hi Dona, yep, and the drop after last years Div was abt $20.00, so that should happen again this year...
That would place the CSL SP @ abt $256. 00 if the divvy went through today....

 

[Dona Ferentes]

yep, and the drop after last years Div was abt $20.00, so that should happen again this year...

i reckon it will drop about $2, possibly a bit more.

last 2 distributions; let's see. A year ago, it actually rose and 6 months ago, it fell over a period of several days. Plotted against the ASX200 index, the moves were in keeping with general trend, a bit amified but nothing dramatic.
CSL's revised outlook, in June, brought about a much more significant dispersion.

 

[UMike]

Sheep and facts do not often correlate and move in two different ways.

May I add that markets move on sentiment as well as facts. That is what TA generally relies on.
In a way I still reckon CSL is too big to rely on TA and Mums and Dads speculation.
However “experts” public speculation is a guide to be taken into consideration when judging where and how much the shepherd will guide the sheep on the hill or valley

Bingo !!!!!.....

CSL Opened $259.01

CSL now just above my 17/6/23, $256.02 call……

Option action is always difficult to predict….

Need a couple of days to work out which way CSL might go next, $200 or $300…

 

[Dona Ferentes]

sellers still in control... big lick through, this morning

 

[mullokintyre]

I have some bids in at 240.
More than happy for it to get to that figure.
Mick

 

[DrBourse]

BINGO Again !!!!!
$256.02...
Not a bad call to make on 17/6/23 when CSL was @ $284.44 - CSL actually hit the magical $256.02 on 17/7/23 and again today 21/9/23....

Anyone wonder where to next for CSL, I've already worked it out - very interesting - just a pitty "The Duck" is not around, He might have learnt something abt TA....
Crawling back into my Cave now.....
