Which way did the news break?

Agree, the signs were there but what is behind the significant decline. Wait and see I guess.

Analyst downgrade today by Credit Suisse plus Medicare data out overnight indicating higher private hospital claim activities. MPL also downgraded and down 3%.

The single day move on NHF is outsized for an analyst downgrade but the stock has ran pretty hard since a positive Feb report. It remains to be seen whether this is just a much warranted breather, the start of a downtrend, or the prelude to some unexpected news.

I need more responses!

Come on fellow ASF'ers. Look at the charts and answer the survey.

Disappointingly I've only got 12 responses thus far. I want 40-50+ to make the results less meaningless.
 
Surely If I can have a crack with my limited ability all you pro traders out there can show us how its done

I don't know what this means:
"Can you tell which way the news broke?"

Does that mean the price gaps up/down as the news is released?

Yes... guess/predict/infer/extrapolate whether the price went up or down when the news was released.

I'm surprised you have 12
I'd have thought there were less here who actively trade.

Once you show the results I'll join you in showing how meaningless they are
And I have no idea what the stock is and I don't care

Well it's really just a game with some charts I pull together on a slow day... if it doesn't look like a well thought-through research design that's because it wasn't.

I will post the data up if we get 30 responses or by the end of next week, which ever comes first. It might be one of those "ink-blog" analysis which anyone can see whatever they want to see.

Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to do the survey. It's not restricted to active traders so anyone can play!!!

Too much suspense - I can't wait until the end of next week.

I was going to put 455 entries in so I could look like a genius at least once and skc would get his sample - but he thwarted me.

Come on people have some fun - buy a ticket and play the game - even a fundy can do it. (except I didn't know how to answer the how long have you been "trading" for question - Investment discrimination is everywhere I tell you:p)

Scratch that - it's only up or down. Don't,t know, is the third choice not sideways. 105 entries would have done the trick.

Done.

Does this relate to that research I PMd? I won't post it here because it might ruin the game.

Thanks. I haven't read thru it yet. My brain and academic papers don't get along too well these days.

We are up to 17 responses! Yay!!!

 
Last chance to enter the game.... go to the first post of this thread, look at the charts, click on the link and guess which way the share price went.
 
I've done it.
Will be interested to know which way they broke.
