i give up on you big blu yes there will be need to travel to do buisness but 80% will be done online
big blu people need a kick up the arse to change covid did that companies dont like change and expence if they have to , where u live the moon lol
The point is, all this video conferencing could easily have been done pre-covid.
Why wasn't it? Huge cost saving, time saved, home life balance. Why was it not well established or being so deeply implemented before?
You have to think the full 360. Simple linear numbers on a spreadsheet are only a small part of it. Status and kudos are a very big part of it too. Ask why all this video meeting was a small part of business interaction only a year ago. The increase has been forced on the world. It will not continue at anywhere near the same level post covid and indeed the moment lockdowns open, people travel.
See how far you get at the next expo. Get a local company to set up your view screen VR headsets and microphones and try and sell your widgets and services without actually being there against the stands either side of you with a real life living person on hand. See how far you get!
There will be a full return and possibly an expansion on business related travel and every single business seat will be full because of the STATUS SYMBOL. If you did have anything to do with airlines, manufacturing or other, you would know this as a fundamental basic rule. I will repeat, even Ryanair and Spirt and Lion, all of them cash in on the vanity market too.
Gove was mentioned as the minister doing the review into travel reopening and we were all expecting his report on 12th April. But he went quite and was no part of what seems to have been a review rushed out early on 9th April. His silence has been conspicuous since then. He has popped up in a news story now and seems to be tasked with setting up the travel passport and it will probably look at lot like Israel's. He is a key name in the news can make or break the sp - hence he is watched and followed.
Big blue, you seems to love Gove a lot. You mention him in every post. A special friend?
The EU political cauldron bubbling away. "But hotspots such as Spain, Portugal and Greece could reportedly defy the EU and allow visitors." and the indication of the limiting factor some are using to brake Britain's independent move to free travel, " The EU said its vaccine passport scheme will be in place by July, with Justice commissioner Didier Reynders pushing for talks with the UK."
So as I have been saying before, some parts of the bloc are breaking away despite the bloc trying to enforce strict compliance. And the UK timetable being pegged to the EU timetable.
Gove, finally we hear what has happened to Gove. And this points to the bitter battle within Dowingin St. He seems to have been pushed from the April 9th/12th review being replaced by the Transport Secretary. Instead he seems to be working behind the scenes, preparing the travel vacc passport. So that looks great, but looking back over the political shenanigans of this year, I would expect strong moves against the vacc passport trying to keep Britain delayed in free travel. Indeed, this news story a month or two ago and the sp would have shot up, but little reaction today - market a bit weary of this sort of news now.
However, the return leg. There is still a major issue with the complications on the return leg. One significant question that will be asked louder and louder, if only a vacc passport is required on the outward leg, then why can the same not be required on the return leg? There are still some mega hurdles to overcome.
Exactly Sunsurfer, Patience is key here...But as i day trade a lot , my exit point gets lower and lower and these swings are actually helping me achieve my goal faster.. I use all the comments to my advantage , even the negative ones because they are actually helping me in making a profit but I always have my original stake bought much much lower...Good luck Sunsurfer and all the LTH, it will come good soon. Like you said, no stress...nice pub lunch today after a run..
@SunDezer
eventually I'm sure we will. It is just a matter of time and being patient... I know many on here have said they'll bail at 220, some at 250 etc. Whatever your exit point, it will come if you wait long enough...
Many wise owls on here have reinforced the mantra of 'patience' and they are right...so i'm happy to wait and dabble day trade if I can...no stress
GLA
great news Sunsurfer, They have to do something and they know it. FTSE seems to be up and I suspect some gains coming IAG way. We are going to get there very soon..All IMO.
from daily telegraph
Covid passports proving vaccine status will be available for summer holidays. Fully vaccinated travellers told they 'should be able to sidestep tests and quarantine', potentially opening up breaks in over 20 countries.
