Tip Notes

Excerpt from article (see link) referring to G4S & Serco "Clearly, G4S is a lower-risk option than Serco. Its business is performing well and it does not require a transformation programme. However, its PEG ratio of 1.4 also means there may be less upside than for its struggling sector peer. While both stocks could be worth buying, Serco seems to have the more enticing risk/reward ratio at the present time." Peter Stephens, The Motley Fool

The chart above shows the tip history by a particular tipster for a specific stock.

Here you can see each tip a tipster has made on a stock set against the stock's price movement since the original tip.*

Below the chart you will see a list showing the history of tips for the stock by this tipster. Click on any of these for more detail on each tip.

A tip will only close when a new tip with a change of direction supersedes the old tip, or the tip has reached a target price (if one has been set by the tipster).

For example: if a tipster places a 'buy' tip of the 1st Jan and a 'sell' tip on the 5th Jan, the 'buy' will close on the 5th and the 'sell' tip will be the open (active tip).

Some examples of the Tip Close logic

Sell -> Buy = This is a change of direction, so the 'sell' tip will be classed as Closed and the 'buy' tip classed as Open.

Avoid -> Hold = This is also a change of direction, so the 'avoid' tip will be classed as Closed.

Buy -> Hold = this will leave the tip classed as Open (active)
