Ok I give up. I'm really Tom in disguise. Bought back in.
Winstanley
Russian troll have a minimum 2-3 accounts on this forum. Not make any sense to discuss with this troll.
Money talks
ITV should be minimum at £0.7071 on the end of this week
My other shares are making gains of 0.8 to 1% this morning. Only ITV has lost and not started to regain. This always used to be the case. Bad days ITV follows the market down. Good days it stays where it is.
Winnie stop stalking me!!!
Agreed that free to air is dead but all the ads are now on ITVX too. People are now watching ITVX and less terrestrial tv. As a media company they can only invest in studios and streaming with investment in ITVX is almost done. Just need the streaming numbers to match with what dame protected at the start of the investment in ITVX. These numbers are getting there as per the last update so overall not bad in my opinion with the progress and there is also cash now for buybacks. 80p easily by June, which is another 8 weeks away.
"Lost in a mans business world."
Is this you again Tom?
One wouldn't be surprised.
Wolf. Totally agree. She's toast. Lost in a mans business world. Too woke, too thick and too greedy.
Agreed, every year we get told a sports tournament that will change our fortunes apparently, but it never does..
However, change of CEO certainly will. Despite her efforts, it's still at 69p .. Nothing will change here till she goes, the markets simply do not have confidence in her.
Every sports tournament we get told how it will boost ITV share price. It never does. That additional revenue is offset by costs and any profit from the tournament is already factored into the share price.
I wish people would stop touting this idea that sports tournaments are a windfall for ITV. Free to air is dead. Nobody is watching. Nobody is paying for ads. Studios are where the money and the big windfalls happen.
Biggest for me this year is Euros. That will bring in good ad revenue similar to World cup 2yrs ago. By June we should see atleast 80p.
Jed can you not see Pyongyang is continually telling people to hold? Insulting people who do not buy into his Juche ideology? I am all for people buying and selling to make small gains on the fluctuations here. Pogo would rather shut down debate and insult people who are trying to make money off the dips.
For that reason it is right to call out his blind logic. Holding here has made Pogo minimal gains in 12 months. Too much wasted opportunity with the way Pogo is trading
Good morning everyone, I just cannot see any point in saying he said /she said buy sell for what ever reason, we must just do what we think is right at the time.
At times we all have an idea or want for the SP to go high or low so just do what you want an no one else.
ITV is just a trading stock that if we can buy low ish and sell higher than we bought great stuff and that's it.
I think a retest of the 50 and 200 DMA at some point in the next couple of weeks or so, is far more likely than a push onto 80p, personally.
Happy to simply hold for now in this range, but low 60's on no specific news will become tempting.
Otherwise, the value trap dividend collection will be adequate for me in this small part of the p/f.
Pogo told everyone to hold. That SP would be 75p last week. 80p at end of this week.
There were times when we could have sold at 76 and 75p and lose the 3.3p dividend but Pyongyang Pogo told everyone to hold. If you had sold at 75p and bought back at 69.25 you would have had 0.35p in stamp duty. Add that to the 3.3p dividend and you have 72.9p. Small trading fee but that is small change.
Clear 2p gain and with cash in your account now rather than May 24th.
Pogo cannot do the basic maths. Pogo is the voice of the DPRK
Simple math.
For all those fascinated by the words of the Russian troll and the investors present here trying to play against the market by speculating on ITV shares.
£0,732 with divi (0,699 without divi) on April 10. Today, after the FTSE100 falls by over 140 points, i.e. about 2%, ITV price is 0.6925 - less than 1% losses.
Listening to the trolls stupidity on this forum has already cost a lot of nerves and wasted capital lots of people. And the variability of opinions and presented by this troll predictions are only proves the stupidity and naivety of those who listen to them. No offense, but it's time to start respecting your own mind and not someone else's opinion, especially since this person does not take responsibility for it. And in my opinion, this person hasn't any money to be able to create any real investing in the stock of ITV shares. This is only a troll who preys on other people's emotions and enjoys other people's failures.
End of this week as I expect ITV shares not less than £0.7071.
There are better cheap shares at the moment. Most shares have lost 1-2% today minimum. That is easy gains once we get over this US market correction
One will be adding more, if conditions persist, with a view to staying long. Consider it as nabbing a bargain, more like a passing shower than a market monsoon. It's an opportunity to seize some deals, and if the showers persist, why not keep stocking up?
Thanks Pogo.
I should have considered that before I chucked nearly 50,000 into this pre McCall days. The rest is history but I live in hope.
Don't intend to fall for it again so I'm holding quite a bit in cash in the case of a total financial meltdown.
1:3
losses to profits
Omalley123
No obsession... yes. But I invested my money not only because Stock Market is a part of my life, hobby, etc., etc... I trying to invest my money as much as safely and as possible with the highest possible rate of return. And because of this I am not trying to buy some shares which should give me biggest profits when I need to risk a lot too. I always calculate risk of losses first and after profits which I expecting. And the ratio need to be minimum at 1:3
As I said some time ago. I observe about 40 different shares, and get a close look for 5-10. Make a money will be always possible but in my age I prefer lower risk. With me experience and as for myself ITV is the best option, and should give me a good profits with a risk of losses limited to minimum. Portfolio build from 2-5 shares is good when you do not expect profits beyond the market rate on one of your investments. Otherwise, a large portfolio reduces profits, increases costs and weakens the speed of response.
I've no obsession with buying back into ITV whatever. The fact is I've a stash of money that I can invest anywhere at the moment and not trapped in ITV. I'll wait and see.
Pogo bought in the 70s. So his share price is down. He collected dividend only. Wasted opportunity where he could have bought into shares with real sp growth.
A fool and his North Korean Won
I am starting to think there may be another chance to buy back at 60 before the end of the year. Then take the rise up to 80. Nothing is going to happen at the AGM so we are stuck with the Panto Dame and her many cronies failing to seize on the opportunity to grow the studios by strategic sales and aquisitions
It goes without saying. Do not listen to Winstanley, Pogo or the many rampers here.
In over 25 years of my investing on the stock exchange, I have learned a few things. First of all, you should not try to make changes when you are sitting on a horse that will cross the finish line in the lead anyway.
I propose after a couple of months to check how much will be worth your portfolio without any changes. Money talks. In this year on the £38k which I invested in ITV I get (price 69.35 +divi) about £2.9 k profits. I think that is not bad.
Looking like sell pre divi was the call unless you're in for about 50 years. At least I sold half and I'll wait and see for a while I guess.
Ahem israel Iran is the main event. Ukraine is just the side show now.
Anyway good that you have not been sent to the gulags yet Pogo. Can we get you to return to your predictions before and adter ex divi date. I think you said 75p and then 80p at the end of this week?
Do you not feel yours words may have convinced some of the idiots amongst us to hold? Now we are sat on hefty losses because we listened to the voice of Pyongyang.
