Stewart, .... I don't think there is any "borderline" about it !
The Flu killed 50 million people worldwide last year..
Tom you clearly haven't read the article that I advised you read this morning. Why am I not surprised?
It very much looks like I'm the only poster left standing, giving you the time of day. My patience is wearing thin though I must admit. You do talk some rubbish Tom.
How's your Shell investment doing? £16 by Christmas didn't you quote? Good luck with that one, you'll will be lucky to see £10, current price £9.22. Don't give up the day job Tom, oh sorry you don't have a job do you. Just another foreigner living off me and other tax payers. Lol
I know where you are coming from with departments being closed down I do know of one office block of three floors being abandoned now in New York Ninty staff who have been there for the past Fifteen years running a very profitable department , all now looking for work .From the President downward ,
Spanish flu "Infected 500 million" not killed. Estimated to have killed up to 100 million people.
Spanish flu "Infected 500 million" not killed. Estimated to have killed up to 100 million people.
The Spanish flu epidemic lasted a little over 2 years that killed 500 million people more than a third of the then world population, considerably more more than the 1.1 million to date for this virus. We have advanced since 1920's thank god.
We will have a vaccine to help control the corona virus shortly. It won't be long before this virus is a distant memory.
Tom will be the only one disappointed.
Well most people can get the information I am party to.. I would recommend thedrum.com as its free.
The media and production industries, like everyone else are having a tough time of it; however its always one of the fastest to pick back up again when things get better.. the only question is when? Linear TV is still important, the viewing % v SVOD or VOD are still massively in linears favour. The thing is it won't be in the long term so this is why ITV are putting all of their attention into addressable TV.
1000's are being made redundant across ITV, Sky and even agencies but sadly these things happen as this COVID is accelerating innovation in things like programmatic which is AI driven.
One thing I will say is don't be impressed when you see ads on screen. TV is mass purchased via share deals; don't think just because you see Apple advertising on ITV that they must be coining it as a result.. ITV will only be delivering ratings as per the deal it has with each agency trading group. Also worth mentioning as the audiences get bigger, the cost of TV decreases. Still ridiculous but advertisers are not interested in over 50's... they should be as they are the only people with any spare cash!
Come on guys let’s just pretend this joker is not there and get down to subscribing some useful posts .Radio Gent you must have some useful items coming up as like me you are connected to the business and have some in sight to the state we are in or getting in .
"Soon to be a loss making business that will need to go begging for license fee money to maintain free to air channels."
Tom I can't believe you just said that. Had you down as a deramper but not a blthering idiot. I assume it was said in jest just to wind someone up.

Tom, you should read the link that I enclose above.
Tom......... "It now appears that Covid immunity fails. We will have to live with the disease. Does this mean the recovery you promised was only weeks away is off? You got it wrong again????"
No you're wrong Tom with the above comments. The immunity doesn't fail. You are quick to jump to the defence of the virus, you're unreal. Yes more research is needed and like the article enclosed says, people may need a booster injection over time. You give the impression Tom that you want the virus to win? Shame on you.
"The need for a vaccine is still very large, the data doesn't change that." She added: "These data should not be taken to infer that a vaccine would only induce short-term immunity.
"Vaccines contain immune stimulators (adjuvants) that induce durable immune responses and the administration of multiple doses of vaccine ensures that high concentrations of antibodies (that decline only slowly over time) are achieved in the majority of vaccine recipients."
Tom, Carolyn's abandoned child. You exhaust me.
No such thing as local radio anymore.. all networked by the big 3 (Bauer, Global and News UK) and radio is doing brilliantly as its such a trusted news source. Digital outdoor is holding up due to the amount of people in cars and not using public transport.. cinema I agree; however you don't mention digital video /online which is TV's biggest competitor.
I work in the industry before you ask....
Foreigner Tom...... "Expecting another 2% fall today."
It's the ITV board not Shell. Lol
Better to go with a slow rise safer stock like ITV than a volatile one that could go bust
Patience is a virtue.
The patient ITV investor will be handsomely rewarded.
If you haven't got patience, ask yourself is investing for you?
It could be worse, you could have bought into Shell at £23, now £9. Value trap.
Patience is a virtue.
The patient ITV investor will be handsomely rewarded in time.
If you haven't got patience, ask yourself if investing is for you?
I’m not too concerned about ITV, even if we have another Covid dip. At the macro level there are a few things to look out for. One is the prospect of vaccine approval, there is chat in the media about the Astra/Oxford trials, and apparently it works well. The second is the inevitable Brexit deal. Not that I think that is great but it clears the uncertainty that’s been hanging over UK domestic stocks. I’d expect that news in itself to move domestic stocks northwards. So I’m expecting a decent ending to the year followed by a strong 2021. Markets are forward looking and tend to move fast before the recovery is obvious. I’d expect advertising to have picked up then slowed a bit due to this second wave ... but I’d expect a surge when the fog of Covid begins to clear or when we know there is an ending in sight. So I’m holding even if ITV dips. Although I believe the SP in December will be higher than today. Let’s see.
sorry for venting out my frustration here but am thinking to pull the plug if the Nov results kick this back to 70s. What are others views on the Nov results?
I have always been with ITV even before covid so only am to be blamed for not looking at any other bargainers other than ITV. This is less risky and less chance of going bust unlike retailers but at the same time very slow moving too. In March bought at 96p thinking bargain price only to see it go to 52p. Agree that the rise from 52p to 70s is now nearly 40% rise but many companies have done 25% rises in one day.
Hope that the results in November attract more investors. Bloody auto trades are controlling the price. What for are they controlling?
To be honest, I have to accept that the ITV is still lingering at the price that was in April/May when almost all other FTSE companies have done well. If you look at Retail, totally different sector but with pandemic they are more impacted than ITV and retail have done well. Look at AO or Dunelm and HFD, they all have gone back to pre-covid prices already. ITV's impact due to covid is less compared to retail and it should be atleast at 90p by now but still struggling in 70s. Really am frustrated missing out so many other opportunities and got locked out here. Even travel sector seem to be moving up and I don't understand why market is ignoring ITV. The updates from ITV is not bad. The decline in revenue is now just 22% or less now for the ad revenue. I hope the results in November kick the SP to £1. Almost every other company saw 20-25% one day rises but not ITV.
Now that all other FTSE companies have gone up, ITV is one of the few remaining ones left at bargain price?
