This week has been a cracker for those trading around corporate results, with updated quarterly financials providing attractive share prices moves for both long-term investors and short-term traders. How did you and your positions fare? Were you proactive or reactive? Were you on the right side of the risers and fallers or were you chasing your tail? If you called things right then bravo. If got caught offside with share prices moving contrary to your interpretation of the headlines, did you feel like you were missing something?
If so, you wouldn’t be the first to find it tough to go it alone. Because the devil is often in the detail of those lengthy company statements (40 pages is not uncommon). Growth is good and losses are bad. Agreed. However, how things compare to broker consensus expectations is key in determining whether the numbers are a beat or a miss. That said, outlook nearly always trumps results, however good they are. After all, share prices quite rightly attribute more weight to future earnings potential than historical performance. You are trading for the future not the past. In which case you may have learnt the hard way that deciphering results is not always simple. And that’s where we come in. To lend a helping hand.
As professional market watchers Accendo Markets exists purely to help you trade more efficiently (and more cheaply while we’re at it). And that means making you aware that you can have another go at results season next week with UK Index giant and banking behemoth HSBC reporting alongside oil major Royal Dutch Shell and mining giant Glencore. Will HSBC shares rally like Standard Chartered (+15%) and Barclays (5%) or sell-off like Lloyds (-4%) and RBS (-5%)? What are the analysts previewing for Shell? Will its shares power higher like those of BP (+4%)or give up their 2016 uptrend? And can Glencore shares maintain their impressive 2016 recovery via a better outlook for debt reduction and streamlining? If you follow small-caps, mid-caps, European or US companies we can help you there too.
It is paramount that you be armed with above information before you trade. And you have a right to it at no charge from Accendo Markets and your friendly dedicated trader with whom you will develop a trading relationship that can only benefit you in the long-run with immediate comment on breaking news. To be honest, this should all be the industry norm, but is sadly not the case. And somebody has to be industry-leading! With this in mind I invite you to trial our highly regarded research for a fortnight to get a feel for the quality of the information and assistance we can offer you to help you trade more profitably. You’ve nothing to lose. Don’t fly blind without a broker. Fly with a blinding broker.
