Hi SK,
Many thanks for coming back and please rest assured, I certainly meant no disrespect whatsoever in challenging your thinking yesterday and in recent posts - I was genuinely interested in your motivation for posting.
Clearly like all posters and including myself, your views are very welcome, although what I was trying to share yesterday was the fact that within your posts from time to time, you seem to 'flip flop'. So take your response and posts yesterday - you clearly believe that the UK economy will tank and yet you still share that you may re-invest in Tui?
I do remember when you supported the guy who had been scammed and I'm sure that meant a lot accordingly.
I'm 'not' for closing down comments in any way - was simply trying to share that for me anyways, your posts in recent times seem to flip flop and I was trying to understand why

I see the UK and global economies more like a coiled spring just waiting to be released by the inevitable rate cuts.
Mike your memory seems to be failing you... as you know I previously accumulated a significant TUI holding, I purchased first trance post consolidation/pre-RI in Apr 2023, buying many other tranches throughout summer/autumn 2023. I sold the lot for about 10% profit on 2nd Jan 24... my posts are my opinions, of where I see Tui SP heading at the time I post, and consistently I observe your comments excessively ramping Tui stock. You have seen me make bullish comments on travel sector, and on TUI too but I feel I tend to do so with some realism in mind (factoring in increasingly terrible state of UK economy, from which TUI is not immune to negative fall out this causes).
Anyway, as I've said before this is a discussion board for opinions (apparently unless those opinions disagree with your view point?)
I continue to like Tui as a business, and perhaps I shall buy back in at some point. A point for clarity: I've always had respect for people who are invested in Tui... remember when a member on this forum mentioned a scammer had robbed them of near to 100k? I was v.quick to post, to wish them well with getting their money back. It's slanderous to accuse me of disrespectful posting here, just because my opinion differs at a point in time to yours. On too many occasions you've made underhand comments, capitalised to shout & belittle perhaps? Whilst I've not called it out previously, I'll say now that when you do so it undermines an opinion you convey within the same post (validated in evidence, or not).
Lovely +14% today with United, biggest intraday rise since 2020 apparently.
Timing seems great with EZJ tomorrow, as Mike alluded to below.
SK,
Can you please share what you're trying to achieve with your posts?
They're repetitive and frankly WAY off pitch - as an example - weren't you saying just a couple of months ago that we were sliding into deep recession when the BOE etc had already said that we'd come out of recession in January and indeed we have - see what I mean and that's just a small example?
So from your posts, I'm assuming you want our SP to tank; lots of posters here to lose loads of money and for you to get a gold star - is that it?
You should reflect on what you're saying; why and the timing - our SP right now is under pressure because of what's happening in the Middle East - THAT'S IT - as are all other travel stocks too - oh and interesting too that you went to ground when our SP went up to £6.82 last week and which was nearly over 60p what you sold out of, from memory?
Maybe just think a bit and have a bit of respect for those going through some difficult times with their investment in recent days
Tui will soon follow ezj and iag back up again. It just took the hit a bit later
"550p looks a mile away. Onwards." - really..... it looks about 10-12p away to me.
Hi all,
I know that some have posted about ourselves being somewhat of an 'outlier' with regards SP decline in recent days - did a quick look last night and the range of declines from the highs of early last week to end of play yesterday, range from -10% both IAG and EZJ; -11% Jet2 ; ourselves -15% and up to -17% for Wizz - so simply sharing as most probably expect, that broadly speaking, we're all in the same boat and hope it helps.
EZJ reporting Half Year results tomorrow and if we're lucky, Jet2 may issue a full year trading statement too - both of which should be positive and may well help lift the sector collectively
GLA
550p looks a mile away. Onwards.
Not really concerned with short term movements, but I think if the FTSE keeps pulling up as it does right now, it will pull TUI up with it. The FTSE might also falter again later if Isarel says anything.
It doesnt really matter as long term TUI is a sure fire winner in my opinion. It was going strong before the middle east thing came up, which doesnt really affect TUI's operations, apart from oil prices.
I think it'll drop more this afternoon as the makers take it down a little below 5.50p
Contemplating adding more here to make an opportunity of this artificial drop.
Package holidays will be more attractive to the masses going forward, compared to expensive bespoke holidays.
We've hit the low point so fully expect this to slowly recover now. Pointless getting out of airlines this morning. Should've done that before the carnage of 10-15% drops
Doubt it will be a better day, as although TUI is delisting to Frankfurt its still heavily reliant on UK package holiday sales and UK PLC is clearly now very sick indeed...
£ rising this morning is a warning sign of the carnage ahead, yes high rates defend/support the currency and help with keeping import costs down but... if BoE holds off from rate cuts right through until November the pain racking up for Businesses, debtors and mortgage holders will be savage. Unemployment looks bound to accumulate significantly on the back of BoE's futile attempt to defend against dollar strength and do battle with the inflation deamons...
BoE is stuck though, it cannot solve all the problems that come with the political choices UK Gov has made to damage trade, drive up costs and for the systemic under investment over more than a decade.
For Tui the attempt to cut & run to Frankfurt fails to ignore the blatant underlying issue... which is UK and EU are as co-dependent as siamese twins.
So out of all the airlines this morning it seems that Tui is the one currently falling off the cliff edge.....
Hopefully a better day for TUI tomorrow.
Its peers that are actually exposed dropped much less.
I should have sold when up met 25-%
One bloke is mostly to blame and his name is Benjamin. The sooner the world sees him for who he is the better. Just can't understand why the west is saying we have your back, but stop doing what you're doing. Surely that's some kind of contradiction, no?
Likely a missed opportunity if you didn't top up or get in today. Vastly improving financials of TUI, EZJ, IAG, RR etc and this is merely a 10/15% fly in the ointment. Misguided to think this will plummet to pre-recovery SP levels
@savage, no, it’s not your pet subject mate, have you seen the news on Iran / Israel? Honestly, get a new record. TUI was recovering strongly until more Middle East strife happened. SMH
Problem with rate cut is BoE is stuck with a soaring dollar, so a cut will surely be small and therefore the benefit miniscule and with a fair lag it provides support too.
This will all blow over quite quickly I suspect.
The employment figures were actually a positive as they increase the chances of earlier rate cuts.
EZJ had its big drop yesterday. Today its TUI's turn.
I did warn y'all, been in meetings all day so only just saw stocks and TUI price. The unemployment figs and weak economy has not come as a surprise to me and presumably that's why the SP dropped today?
Likewise I never thought I would see £5.50 again but if I do I will be getting back in again.
