Thanks for the feedback, which is the same as you have said before, however I disagree. Your assertion fails to acknowledge that some people are only interested in the share price, for example a new buyer, a capital sensitive investor, a share trader. It is misleading to suggest that charting the capital price of a share is "totally flawed", try telling that to the millions of technical analysts that use dividend adjusted (removed) price data and charts. But I think we get it - that your preference would be for a gross price dividends included, reflecting your own investment strategy.
So, how do you interpret the 35c drop caused by the dividend, which shows as a massive negative red candle? The chart gives the impression of a very bad turn of events, which is clearly misleading. But yeah, you keep doing what you do. TA can certainly be useful when done properly, which your chart is not (IMHO).
How about you put your chart up old guy and contribute ;id like to see it. I get the feeling you don't value T/A at all and are strictly F/A.?.T/A is a really important tool for helping one know when to pull the trigger to buy or to bail out of a stock to preserve ones capital. I look forward to your contribution. Its a 10 year chart which shows the cyclic nature of AIR very well. Im watching the T/A closely atp. Silly? Or not understanding?
Happy to continue this on the TA thread http://www.sharetrader.co.nz/showthr...ries-and-exits
STMOD.
I think STMOD has stepped in at the right times of late to stop slanging matches.
Difficut job,but done fairly.
This is a recurring problem but good to bear in mind that this is NOT our forum..its a forum that we are allowed to read and post on, at no cost, so when it gets right down to what we can or cannot post its always going to be subject to the sites owners and moderators opinions. Regardless of what we think of the decisions and whether we believe they are justified or not. I don't have a problem with that..if I don't like it, I can take a hike or simply stop reading or posting. Rather than complaining about the moderators maybe we should just accept that it is their site to do what they want with and get on with it. Or if you feel strongly enough, go somewhere else , or perhaps start your own forum. Problem is of course is that there will be the same issues just transferred to a different location. I do however feel that some clarification/simplification of the rules would reduce friction. Frustration is always the result of what people feel are "shifting goalposts". Keep it simple so everyone knows and understands what is acceptable. One rule to rule them all. NO ABUSE (of any kind), NO HIGHLIGHTING SOMEONES ELSE'S MISTAKES. (OK that's two rules) Any criticism must be depersonalized and kept as an intellectual criticism of theory and or timing. It seems to me that these are the causes of a majority of the blow-ups that have previously occurred. If these rules (or whatever rules are or were decided upon) were displayed prominently and required signing up to prior to membership, then disputes would reduce. Present members should be also asked to sign up to this. Thereby setting a base for behaviour guidelines and also providing a rationale for any disciplinary actions by moderators. However at the end we are just visitors to someone else's premises so what they decide is up to them.
To get back on track - the AIR share price
I get the feeling that as buyers and sellers argue amongst themselves we will see a moderate rise in the AIR share price today
All good. My point was that Baa Baa seems a pretty keen TAer, but the chart that he posted was totally unhelpful for any type of TA. Without adjusting the SP to reflect dividend payments, TA incorrectly detects a massive drop and incorrectly interprets that as a bad sign, when the opposite is actually the case. That's why any proper TA analysis should work with adjusted prices (IMHO) :)
This time it's not the MODS deleting stuff, it's me! Some quite unnecessary posts that incite fighting. Lots of very good posters on this thread with good information, who keep it on topic and don't have a go at other posters and don't get dragged into others playground squabbles.
Vince
Yes percy, it is difficult job and maybe just as hard to be consistent in their moderating
Surprised that that rather offensive (iMHO) post of Birmanboys about you a few weeks ago on this thread is still there - but maybe I don't get some things and you unlike me thought it humorous ..... and then I'm not STMOD
