TLS - Telstra Corporation

[MrBurns]

The period from now until August is normally the 'seasonal' upswing in TLS as people start salivating over the next 14c dividend (next ex-divdidend date 19Aug13). It will be interesting to see how the opposing forces of this upswing, the asbestos negative sentiment and the exit of foreign money play out. I think the price will bounce around close to its current level for a while and possibly go as low as 4.50. After that it should move back into the range 5.00 to 5.10 just prior to 19Aug. IMO.

I'm already keen to get back in but just have a feeling there may be more bad news on the way.

This thread is hilarious. I recommend anyone who is even remotely bored to go back and check out Bintang and MrBurns posts in chronological order, to see why the majority of investors underperform.

You must have a lot of spare time on your hands, the majority of investors under perform, as you put it, because they're just guessing same as you........except when you excel in hindsight.

It took me 10 minutes in the low activity time of my day, to incredulously read your last few posts, and go back to check them against what you said previously just to make sure I wasn't imagining someone who could lie to themselves so blatantly. Another 5 minutes to record the dates of your posts and annotate them in a chart.

Hindsight not required to see this coming, some people tried to point out what you were doing prior to your "investment", and how it was a very bad idea. I've seen you do it before and I imagine it'll occur again.

Why don't you just watch your tongue, I don't like self righteous BS artists like you lurking around waiting to have a shot at someone , just get a life and stay away from my posts.

..........absolute crap

I'm still nicely in profit and better off for selling when I did, you on the other hand are just an annoying worm in an otherwise civil environment.

Well I imagine it's usually covered in some other emission so that might help clean it up.

Sinner and McLovin, how would it be if you were to tell Mr Burns how he could better have managed this?

 

[prawn_86]

To be fair I am not sure if Sinners chart includes any dividends received, but it is an example of how emotions can rule 'long term' investment decisions.

Let please focus on the stock at hand, and its trading etc, rather than abusing others.

These keyboard hero's have no idea of what my objectives are and what drives my decisions.

They should just shut up instead of making fools of themselves by making stupid uninformed comments about others.

Julia, I've seen MrBurns do this more than once since I joined ASF. After seeing prawn trying to point it out, and failing, I thought that this time I would just wait for the inevitable to happen and then post the result. There was a solid month of "fishing" from MrBurns before he finally decided to buy in near the current high.

I'm still nicely in profit and better off for selling when I did,

If this above statement is true (no proof offered by MrBurns), then either I cannot read English, or MrBurns was lying on Apr24 when he said he purchased over $100,000 in TLS shares, and lying again when he said he sold at 5% below the closing price on April 24. He certainly wasn't being truthful with himself when he said he was only interested in the dividend and holding for the long term.

Sinner and McLovin, how would it be if you were to tell Mr Burns how he could better have managed this?

Well he's either an investor or a trader. As he's never posted a chart, and based on his comments in this thread about being in TLS for the long haul and has said it's about the dividends. It seems rather random to be in something long term, sell it one day and the next day say you're ready to get back in. It just seems to lack any sort of clarity of thought.

The best posters on here, whether they be TA or FA have a strategy.

.

I would have been happy to stay in there and just because I've been cautious and temporarily backed out doesn't mean the original objective isn't still my aim, the amount of cash involved in this was such that the risk of holding at this point was too great.

In any case I'll be sure not to post any further moves I make in here because some people just aren't worth informing and can only make immature smart **** "look how clever I am" comments after the fact.

Yeah you are probably right.

A week ago,

Wrong again, I pretty we'll couldn't give a rats I'm well in profit and wouldn't be selling anyway for tax reasons, but I was curious on the interest rate front.
You are way too presumptious about people's motives and circumstances.

Thats utter BS. That was what I said to you over a week ago and you told me to stick it as I was uniformed, then you followed up with one of the dumbest statements,

for every share sold someone bought in..

You ask a question then hate the answer. No wonder people take pot shots at your stupidity.

 

[MrBurns]

A week ago,

Wouldn't be selling anyway

.........................unless it slumped the way it did, you people are nit picking naval gazers.

Once again you have to much time on your hands and are far more analytic of my posts than I am, the "inevitable" ? I've made enough to buy a small car so I'm not particularly concerned and the "inevitable" is fine with me.

Presumptuous BS once again, you're really showing your true colours here, my average buy price was well below what I sold for , don't call me a liar, you are a troll just provoking for sport I hope the moderators take note.

Sinner, I am so pleased to have kept you entertained.
I have a very large position in TLS which I acquired in the price range $2.55 to $3.20. I created that position for the dividends it produces and it provides me with all the performance I need.
I will only consider selling any of my TLS if the price reaches ~$8.40 which as I said in a previous post is a long way to go.

Share market pseudo intellectual looking down your nose at others, a sure sign of your own inadequacy.

So what you're saying is that the >$100,000 of TLS you purchased on Apr 24 was simply the last in a collection of parcels purchased in greater size at lower price? Yet the realised profit was only enough to buy a small car? OK then...
