ITV Share Chat (ITV)

Big Brother. It has hit rock bottom. Nobody is watching and yet it is a brand new studio in West London. State of the art studio. Security and 100s of personnel. The cost to ITV is huge. I have seen estimates of 20 million.

Half the viewers of last years Celebrity Big blunder. The reviews and comments are the worst. "Pound shop Love island contestants"

These kind of commissioning mistakes are going to bankrupt ITV. The studio owners will get rich as ITV revenues and profit falls off a cliff.

Sack whoever pitched this idea to the Board. Big Brother is outdated and out of touch with all audiences.

No wonder the SP has fallen for 5 days in the last 6 .

The fun lasts as long as there are sellers and someone still hopes to buy back the sold shares cheaper. Looking at the average order size from the last few days during the session from 8am to 4.30pm, it's just enough for lunch at McDonald's. Enjoy your meal.

Thanks to the buyback, some shares fortunately disappear from the market forever....

Better to grasp innovation than to be a Luddite!

Roll on 17th oct fo ex div day

After 4 days of a falling share price it finally recovered some lost ground today.

The usual gleeful spammers have gone quiet. Despite all their fluffing on the sidelines they failed to get this up. Still no 88 or £1 that Pogo has been promising for months. Winnie has given up and only posts here when she sees me.

Good on OMalley for buying oil at the start of the week when I told you all to switch. He can now buyback here with an additional 10% volume of shares. That will pay nice dividends in a few weeks.

The Oracle of Wimbledon . Still the greatest.

From Friday 82.20 up to today we have 3.85 pence loss, what is about 4.67%.

A question? Hom many days we need to get up with price 5% , over the 82.20 pence level?

Ups..I forgot about some predictions on 75 pence ha ha.

Have a good night fir the real ITV shareholders and investors.

Filtering snowflake loves late night posting? You should be watching Lorraine Kelly 40 years on television.

This is the future of ITV. C5 style nostalgia programs that are cheap to put together. Chav TV

Previous post 'w/t' filtered - oh bliss.

I am watching. Its pretty weak but the island looks incredible. Would love to do the climb he did yesterday to the top.

His main anger seems to be directed at Willoughby and maybe his agents. He does not name people directly. There maybe was a small mention of McCall and Lygo when he said there are some people he would never work for again.

Loved him as a child when he presented kids tv. Never seen him on stage and only rare glimpses of this morning. He could still have a career doing one off travel shows. He is not completely unlikeable and is less creepier than Winnie.

Nobody, bar oddballs and gutter snipes, rates Schofield's Castaway comeback.

One user wrote: “Phillip Schofield back like the great plague of London. Just stay gone!”

It's no surprise that Channel 5's viewership is so low, with only a handful of strange and questionable viewers regularly tuning in, given that they produce rubbish like this:

Last ex divi it went down to 70p after briefly being at 75p for a few seconds in the week before. On the day I think it dropped 73 to 70p. Then there was the huge surge upwards which is when I sold and it has been up around the 80s now for months.

1.7p dividend does not provide the same opportunity to buy and sell on the day? Better to just stick with the dividend? 82p on Monday would have been the right time to sell only to buy back after ex dividend date.

This blac hole is a consolidation after a rapid rise from a low of around 55-60 pence to a price above 80. Dividend and market expectations regarding results in November and, above all, regarding forecasts for the fourth quarter of this year and the first half of next year - that makes today's situation together with macroeconomy. Common sense advises taking this into account and also having your own ideas and forecasts regarding this. I remind you that theories of catching subsequent lows recommended by some people on this forum have already brought them losses more than once. And not these "paper" ones but real ones because they ended with the sale of shares with a loss that was not made up for, because they did not buy back cheap shares. In addition to all this comes the financial scale in which we operate. And this determines both: the sale and purchase at a given price level, and the possible profits achieved. Risking losses for a potential profit of 2-5% with the possibility of being out of a position that we prefer in the long term is stupidity at least for me and in most cases leads to a slow decline in the capital we have. But of course everyone has their own mind and goals. "The water with soda" going to the some heads when they earn £50 risking all the capital is not only popular for ITV shares .... but sometimes they just forget (or don't want to do) to compare after a longer period of time, what their financial situation would look like if they were not greedy. I never assume that I will buy or sell shares at the best price. I just doing a carefully thought-out strategy, knowing that emotions are the worst advisors.

As normal I would expect to SP to drop 2p for ex divi plus a little more for all the trouble so my guess will be 75p-76p.

Could be worth selling now and buying back at 75p again.

Its been stuck in the 78-81 SP blackhole for the last 6-8 weeks or so my guess is around there..

Please give your predictions for the next week. What happens to ITV Share Price and how it will respond to global events and potential wars.

Back to 80p or 77/76/75?

Pogo both BP and Shell are 20% below their 12 month high. You are buying into solid companies with large international markets. The reckoning with Iran is coming. The dire predictions for the oil sector were after OPEC unexpectedly increased production and everyone saw cheap oil. It now appears that OPEC were looking to the future war with Iran and saw it as an opportunity to steal Iranian oil consumers from them.

The average Analyst price for Shell is 3200 from the current price of 2540.

Just goes to show you that the Cretin from Kiev cannot even do the basics right.

Most major agencies have issued negative recommendations for the entire oil sector. The current situation has caused a temporary and a real small increase in the prices of oil and the shares of its producers and processors. Proposing investments in this sector is therefore either ignorance or malice. I advise you to think and carefully read all available market commentaries building opinions about the prospects for growth in share prices in specific sectors of the economy in the next 18 months. Our native trolls have been recommending these investments to us since at least March. The current situation, even after the current increase, is over 20% loss in this sector.

Ironknut it is relevant as it means higher oil prices which in turn will push the global economy into slowdown and recession in some nations.

That means lower spending on advertising, less content commissioned and greater government borrowing and potentially greater tax. Your average ITV viewer will have less spending power and studios will see less buyers for content.

Try not to be so myopic. Look ahead. 6months, 1 year , 10 years. UK economy was showing signs of growth but Labour will now add tax everywhere and on top of that fuel prices will add to inflation and keep BoE interest rates high.

You can thank the Ayatollah's for your poorer quality of life.

We now seem to be discussing a War here. Hardly relevant to ITV. Simple investment advice. Buy, Oil,Mining andArms companies.

If only Pogo was able to concede that other posters are wiser and better informed.

This has returned to 78. I was urging people to switch to oil on Monday when this was still 81/82. BP and Shell have now gained 7%.

Pogo says the Middle East will calm...... He could not be more wrong. There is a core element in Israel and the US calling for a permanent solution for Iran. To take down all their oil infrastructure and destory the nuclear programme.

You only have to look at OPEC to see they had a good idea of what is coming. They increased production of oil despite having the aim of $100. They betted on Iranian oil being taken out of the equation. Saudi is looking to take market share from Iran and at the same time boost oil price.

The moment of reckoning has come for the Iranian revolution. They have destabilised the region and funded terrorism. They were the very top of the chain of command for October 7th. Israel now has the green light to annihalate the ayatollahs.

A time like now is another good time to clear the ITV shareholder base of the most speculative and accidental capital. This is evident from the average size of sell orders and buys generated by stronger hands and buybacks. On the ITV we have already many times experienced panic fueled by small sell orders at lower and lower price levels (with passive and low demand for shares). And it always ended the same way - a return to earlier or higher price levels and the local trolls spitting hateful comments about the losses incurred by everyone. Funny, because after all they supposedly stand by waiting for the ITV share price to fall below 70, 60 or 50 pence or for it to go bankrupt. It is worth remembering that stock prices are subject to fluctuations, and real losses are incurred by selling owned stocks at a level previously unacceptable to us, often with the hope of an even greater drop in this price and to make a chance to buy back these stocks at a much lower price. How "hope" relates to "reality" is probably known to every serious investor. Each of us has it seems to be investment mind?? Emotions are important, but they must be controlled and the consequences of our decisions must be clearly assessed. Best regards and I wish you common sense in making decisions.
