Home in on Berkeley
?
HOUSE-建設業者 Berkeley Group awarded spread-betters a 大規模な cash 特別手当 last week. A 決定/判定勝ち(する) to 出口 the 伝統的な house building market and return £1.4bn to 投資家s was a 完全にする surprise.
仲買人s woke up to news of their '住宅 認める' as 株 急に上がるd by a 大規模な 30%. きびきびした 貿易(する)ing 許すd most spread-betters to の近くに long positions and lock in 利益(をあげる)s.
Interestingly, many re-投資するd their windfall in building 在庫/株s such as Redrow and George Wimpey - all up several パーセント. The logic behind these new 貿易(する)s 残り/休憩(する)s on hopes that 部門 CEO's will be いじめ(る)d into に引き続いて 控訴. But some 仲買人s point to a different historical fact.
Those with long memories will 解任する that Berkeley called the 最高の,を越す of the last 住宅 にわか景気, and 積極性 sold land 資産s just before the 所有物/資産/財産 衝突,墜落.
Could this be another example of shrewd タイミング by managing director Tony Pidgely? If so, this is a danger signal for the whole 部門. One thing is for sure, the next few months will see 株式市場 whispers and busy spread-betters.
A week for windfalls: Centrica 発表するd frenzied 利益/興味 in the sale of its road-味方する 援助 group, the AA. Britain's largest gas 供給者 saw a 3% rise in 株 price, and spread-betters are 賭事ing that more 伸び(る)s are coming soon. にもかかわらず the 満期 of the supposed 企て,努力,提案 最終期限, 週末 圧力(をかける) 報告(する)/憶測d 競争相手 利益/興味 from as many as three 可能性のある suitors. If true, Centrica 株 will 加速する higher.
どこかよそで, Vodafone has seen a ground-転換 in newsflow. Former 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある Chris Gent had an invaluable knack of 支持を得ようと努めるing both the City and the 圧力(をかける). But spread-betters were の中で the first to notice a subtle and perhaps irreversible change of 強調. No longer focussing on 肯定的なs, commentators are 最高潮の場面ing 危険s, 特に those from Japan. Last week's 消極的な rhetoric 軍隊d 株 負かす/撃墜する by almost 3%. A 高くつく/犠牲の大きい 転換 in 感情.
Looking ahead, 仲買人s are 用心深い ahead of tonight's 連邦の Reserve 会合. Markets and spread-betters are 堅固に 焦点(を合わせる)d on Alan Greenspan and the likely rise in US 利益/興味 率s. 推定する/予想するd to 増加する bank 率s by a 4半期/4分の1 of a 百分率 point. Anything different will shake world markets. But assuming the chairman 成し遂げるs to his 安定した best, 仲買人s will breath a sigh of rel ief 許すing both the Dow and the FTSE to climb 刻々と.
