According to The Times government ministers are considering allowing families from the same household to go on holidays from the Easter break.
This means Brits would at least be able to enjoy a holiday in England while international travel is likely to still be on hold.
Nice to see a director buying even though only a small amount - they have more insight than any of us in terms of the prospects going forward for the business - down on my 90p purchase atm but well well up on my 74p average - looking forward to next week - should be some good sentiment re vaccines etc - gla and good weekend
dyor etc
I've been doing a bit of research and like the sound of this share so bought in with £3k for the first time this afternoon. Hopefully it will be a profitable journey (sorry for the pun).
Your very optimistic CHRI55 :) I think it is looking promising the next few months with staycations adding to the optimism. Good luck all :)
Am thinking of buying more this stock. £1.30 easy already have made over 3 grand plus on the price rise
Hi - I'm interested in investing in stagecoach. I like the company/management/sp, my only concern is the time it takes to get back to pre-pandemic levels. How many people will they realistically allow back on a bus, a contained area for a long period of time even when most (75%? by end of July) the population have the vaccine ? Lets say they are generous and call it 50% to begin with allowed on the bus and even those must have a green card saying they have had the vaccine? They are still contending with the same operating costs. But at this SP that feels about right so as I say...I am tempted.
There’s some delusional characters on here that believe the sp for stagecoach is on a one way trajectory.... I beg to differ...
Barny-B You posted the message bellow on here on the 5th of August

I'm not too worried about this short term drop in the sp. I think it will recover.
I get why the market has reacted as it has to the news that the founder members of the board have sold off a large chunk of their holding. It is perfectly understandable for this to happen. I also understand why they have sold off. They're not sure exactly spring chickens, they are both in their retirement age group, and I can see why they would want to step back from the business and enjoy some free time to themselves. Had they both been in their 40's I would be concerned enough to be questioning their motives in a lot more detail.
I am a LTI in here, as I do like the Company. I have been known to trade the swings a couple of times here for a few extra freebies, and I have missed a trick here on this but that's just the way it is sometimes.
I'm more than happy to ride the storm here. Those that get the bus to get about will still use the bus.
I can't see all those passengers suddenly ditching the bus and buying cars simply because BS & his sister are selling their holding to retire somehow. I doubt that passengers will care a jot. They'll still just want their bus to take them where they are going.
Hey Chris - I am still here matey - you will have to smoke me out of this share - bit of turbulence short term here then normal service resumed North.
gla dyor etc and good weekend all
No mate, I'm still in here.
I'm still here, down on this but it's only a small part of my portfolio so it's not an issue. I lose money on a third of my investments, this may well be one of them.
I bought a small amount at 60p and took my profit out at about 105. When it dropped last week I piled in with a larger amount, I bought at 92p. Obviously disappointed that it has dropped further.
I'll hang on for a little while and see what happens. I'm not the world's most sophisticated investor so am in no way offering an opinion or advice.
Have a good weekend
@ CHR155
I'm definitely staying here. I know that you're not supposed to get attached to a share, any share but sometimes it's hard not to, but I do like this Company.
That said, that has not stopped me swing trading it a couple of times in the past and added a few freebies along the way, but nothing to brag about. Although that said, I'm considering selling a few to swing trade a couple of Aim ones I've seen that I fancy for making a return on and then reinvesting it back in here along with the profit for a few more extra ones.
Good luck to you mate.
Lol. I've got more chance of seeing £7 a share here by Christmas,winning both of next week's lottery draws, and bonking Carol Vorderman than cop for the other kind of swinging any time soon.
Thanks for the tip. I don't bother with AIM on any significant level, just the odd little flutter here and there, Nothing to shout about. I have a small punt in FUL at the moment, and hoping to cash in a small profit at some point to add a few extra in here. We shall see how that pans out.
This is getting depressing now...
Anybody know why the share keeps going down?
Just to understand, those sales of 7 shares will that bring the price down as it’s trade regardless of the amount that trade was worth? Sorry if a stupid question..
Thanks, crazy that it does not just go on the value
