Stobart Share Price (STOB)

Just been watching Bloomberg and the discussions around the recent upturn in cyclical shares, including retail, Banking, builders and Airlines.

Shares in airlines for example suffered as badly as most sectors, in the March crash, but have also had some of the biggest upturn's this week, though today profit taking has taken some value off the table.

A couple of guests on the Bloomberg show have used the phrase "dash for trash" to describe this weeks share movements ( maybe a bit unfair ).

However, to me it's the area to trade. You can sit on a FTSE 100 stalwart, and get 0.5 % - 2% uplift on a blue day, dropping back by a similar red day.

But the trading money is in the riskier companies - in the riskier sectors atm it seems.

Take TUI this last week :
It closed at 301.80 on last Fri eve. Then hit 470.00 + by Tues afternoon.
It hit 589.00 On weds morning - falling back to 500.00, mid Weds afternoon - then back up to 530.00 on the close.
Moving on to Thurs where it traded around 500.00 - 520.00
Then today - as I type down by 19% to 420.00.

What a week for traders, who got on the right side of the trades, not so good for those who bought in at the week highs.

Similar situation with EZJ / DTG / IAG, all four stocks are sitting higher than they started the week, but I'm sure whilst there are many out there counting their profits, some are nursing losses.

It's challenging out there lol - Not long for STOB's annual results, should produce some comment here.

Very Volatile week for the airline sector

Plenty of flights in July from Southend, yes, but they are one way flights and your loved ones will have to foot the bill to repatriate your body.

Looks like the government will drop the quaritine
for the popular destinations by July, plenty of
scheduled flights from Southend in July.

I agree Gerry, my old heart cannot take too-much excitement,lol, i am happy with what i make .

Hi Volcano - I did see it peak at 6091, it's been a real up and down two days, sort of like in a holding pattern, after the recent rises.

My first buy trade in AVCT was 39.97p on the 8th April - I've traded it not sure 5/6 times since taking my profits each time.

For those that bought and held - I'd say well done on that one, but overall - "holding for gold" on aim shares - both in exploration and pharma, generally or often ends in tears.

I believe you play the market with your trading funds in a similar way to me - in and out - and bank profits. It's much safer, at our age we don't need to throw it all in on one aim share -lol

Plus when you are in - you have to listen to the school ground bickering that breaks out, with the rampers and de rampers, which gets tedious lol.

Making several trades on a rising share - picking up say 10% a trade is not to be sniffed at. I off loaded BVC last week - maybe held a little too long and got 97p in the end.

Many like us who bought in at 40p ish will have either top sliced or fully taken their profits over there, would have been brave not to.
