Thanks for the opportunity to get specific stock insights.
I am looking at Starpharma which I have patiently held for a while and there was a change in direction in Sept that seems be consolidating more definitively today except on low volumes. It may be a very delayed response? to the most recent quarterly report which did have an optimistic tone. Should one (not specific) be more wary when the sudden increase in price is not accompanied by higher volumes? I guess this is even a question that could apply to any similar moves in share prices. NOTE I am not a chartist 🙂
Hi MM team
When comparing the number buy units vs those available on the sell side , there has been a consistently higher volume of buys vs sells.
Is this real demand or the result of market makers?
Thanks, JanP
Just an observation that I see all the time that you might care to comment on:
A company’s share price reaches a level that everyone calls overvalued and unsustainable and so it gets sold off. A month later, after buyers return, the share price is back to where it was, but no one – neither investors nor analysts – is calling it overvalued any more.
Human behaviour or ‘animal spirits’, neither makes sense.
Hi Market Matters Team
The Banks have surged following CBA & ANZ reporting.
Would you be taking some profit now – especially in ANZ, NAB & WBC given they are not due to pay a dividend until May or hold as you expect the Banks to continue to strengthen. I’ve held on to some CBA – would you hold for the dividend or sell into this current rally?
