Looks like it's almost there and whilst I may have been off with my timing I was not wrong on the direction and destination.
Savage take your narcissism to other forums. You so dumb thinking you can predict stocks like that.
SK, you do realize stocks go up and down dont you. You could predict any number and will likely hit it sooner of later.
We have a similar character on the EZJ board, stupmy. He also thinks he is some sort of genius.
I think Stumpy is Savage. He has 2 accounts where he can agree with himself all the time to look like he is right.
HAHA - I admire Stupmy's stocks analysis, esp the many gaps he's called rather accurately too!... Sadly, I don't have anywhere near to his level of trading experience and I don't have his deep trading pockets either - I occasionally spot Stupmy's trades when I spot them buying & unloading tranches of 5001 TUI shares at a time (and sometimes multiples of)... I'd like to point out that I've not always agreed with Stupmy's forecasts. Again just wild conspiracy theories is all you seem to have here Warrenbuff123 - just a bully who likes to shout and mock, you'd fit right in with the many MAGA Trumpers over in the states.
Savage imagine having no self awareness at all, thats you. How you act. Coming to forums bragging about how you think you can predict the future and gloating where people lose money. Imagine what type of person does that. To feel good about himself. Then calling someone else a bully. Just imagine.
I am back in at 5.51 looking to get my 5% then out again.
Hi all,
I was genuinely debating whether to share this, but as SK has 'celebrated' the £5.50 mark, thought it might help.
So SK has shared a bit more about his background either on this board or EZJ - he has been trading for about 18 months; usually in £500-£1000 blocks. He hasn't had any of his trades lose him money and he has used some of the money he made earlier this year to put down a deposit on his first house. He currently is invested in BT.
SK, if I have any of this wrong, then please correct.
So based on where you are and what you've done - huge well done!
I've been trading for nearly 20 years and have had my moments - both great and bad.
I've learned two key things whilst trading and I'd like to share:
1. At some stage you most certainly will lose money - it might come out of the blue with a dreadful result; it might be ii's or mm's offloading; it might simply be that you got in at the wrong price and the stock valuation takes the SP down - I've had all 3 and there's undoubtedly many more ways to lose money too. I'm a big fan of Warren Buffet and even he has had his ups and downs and has certainly lost considerable amounts of money along the way. So rest assured, at some point, you will lose money.
2. Why do I share the above - because losing money can either break you or help set you up for further success, as you learn the pitfalls to avoid etc. However, there is an even bigger reason - it's called humility. I strongly believe that until you've lost and likely lost 'big', then you feel and believe that the world is at your feet and 'sod' everyone else getting in your way with their nonsense etc. When you do lose big - as I have certainly done - but actually done really well too - then you really start to appreciate the impact that words can have on people and especially on boards such as this.
That's all I wanted to share really - so words matter; when people are losing and some may be losing big and/or indeed their whole life savings on the line - humility is king!

Mike, what you've written here is spot on. I welcome this sensible, considerate and sagely advice you have shared here. Very genuinely meant - What I have previously taken offense to has been the caps letter typing and the belittling directed towards me, which I think is a perfectly reasonable stance for me to have called it out and it's clear to me you've now had time to think about that and you've rightly altered your language. Very real here Thank you :-)
So with this in mind, I'll make a commitment to be far more mindful/polite/considerate to those who may be losing big. Lets have some more of the decent debate and less of the mud slinging, agreed?
Hi SK,
Brilliant and many thanks and of course - for all of us, Good Luck
Nice to see a truce between two fellow investors 😉
Lets now hope for the upward trajectory for TUI towards £6.00.
Thank you Mike great peacekeeping!
Could you also come on IAG board and talk to Sundezena and on DARK to reason with CR888? :)
Let's be more optimistic and try a trajectory towards £8
Have to say though it's getting harder to see where the upward momentum is going to come from considering all the recent unpredictable movements.
Glad we could resolve that Mike and look forward to the better discussion. I have regrettably posted about the PCS Union strike announcement... plenty of time for talks to take place and hopefully an agreement can be found. It may temporarily impact on all major airlines with Heathrow presence but once a deal is done there could equally be an upward bounce.
Hi SK,
Many thanks for sharing - and Yes, guess any news that's negative to flying may well hit SP's. The great news of course is that Tui don't fly from Heathrow - their main hub for London is Gatwick

Hi SK and all,
Sorry, should have been a bit clearer - Gatwick is indeed our main hub for London, but we do enable holidays from Heathrow via flight 'partners' and with BA being one of them, then yes, can expect possible kick back - let's hope it's simply a negotiation tactic and it's sorted to help everyone have a brilliant hols
I did think TUI had less presence at Heathrow - cheers for clearing that up and yep, two weeks is plenty of time for negotiations to be had and agreement to be reached, I genuinely think a deal will be done here as both parties have learned via some of the bitter disputes of recent times.
Just got out at £6.01 got my holiday money now set up a buy at £5 .50 but I do not think I will see that before June 21st!!!.
