As they say in the markets, 'a profit is not a profit until it's in your sky rocket !'

As well company fundamentals and markets etc. I was also very mindful of the fact that so called market analysts, Smak Smeak and Montley Tool have been quiet of late, which has been good for the stock as well !

I'm sitting on a nice profit here so time to let a few go. It was hard to push the 'sell' button but from 58p only a couple of weeks back to 76p this morning is just over 30% and with Covid national lockdown not too far away and the US elections next month we could be in for a rocky time.

Still sitting on quite a few and nicely in profit for the time being.

And yet more references to Greatland Gold.........it's going to happen I tell you !!!!!!!

Good article there Nige but again another financial 'expert' from the Times that still observes ITV from afar with blinkers and still places a great deal of emphasis on just the advertising revenue stream generated by the company.

Yes, as the economy recovers (goodness knows when that will be ??) then obviously advertising budgets are increased by companies but as Carolyn McCall recognised after her first year or so at the company the big bucks are now generated via the various production arms ITV now have in situ. Its these production companies whom can sell programmes all over the world if successful and generate huge sums for ITV, you just have to look at I'm a Celebrity, Dancing on Ice, Love Island etc. as well as period dramas Downton Abbey, Broadchurch etc.

After all this time the penny has dropped with Ms. McCall and ITV are finally moving into the Amazon, Netflix space but I feel it may have just come too late sadly.

JMO

ITV bottomed out around 58p just over a week ago and so I'm expecting a little bit of profit taking tomorrow, say 5% or so to null the spike on the charts and then for the stock to continue its upward trajectory.

The caveat being the behaviour of GS as always, this latest impression of dumping stock is not fooling anyone !!!

Like that, nice one.

It's been a while :))

Just to please our resident bears :-

Hopefully we won't have to hear too much of his nonsense but I'm sure he can relate to this :-

Yep, I mentioned only a few weeks back about the close relationship between Mick Billing and Gervaise Heddle (previously a director at Thor) and its all starting to come to fruition.

I wonder what else they've been talking about ????

Good timing this morning !

Top up time....... !

Just watched it on Britbox. I know some parts of it had to be pulled by the producers yesterday but it was entertaining nevertheless for a 1st episode and the future looks bright, the Americans will love it !

Sunday press reviews will be interesting although the Times will be too busy watching Love Island USA to realise that Spitting Image is back on our screens !

Ouch !!! Solley mate, hope you're on the mend. Just catching up with all the messages from this afternoon and the last thing you need on here like the rest of us is another pain in the neck !!!

Good finish to the week and good volume again today with over 6500 trades recorded.

All eyes will be on Spitting Image tomorrow and it should be a cracker !!

Fingers crossed for next week.

Just had another top up at 69p.

Not sure if 70p will be broken before the end of play today and before the weekend. The stock has had a good week but with Trump allegedly claiming that he and his wife have Covid just days after that car crash tete a tete with Biden I think Spitting Image will have an absolute belter tomorrow !!!

In answer to your question, most probably but unfortunately us 'outsiders' have no way of knowing. I'm just looking back at all those large uncrossing trades from last month, 286m, 102m, 75m and 124m shares and also noticed that Blackrock's current holding in ITV is a lot less than previously announced.

GS are trying to give us the impression that they are sellers but my gut feeling is that they are moving the stock into their 'back books', ie. away from the prying eyes and are building a stake for some else as I mentioned a few weeks back.

That site is not up to date, its about three months out of date !

My link was of last night !

A few weeks ago I asked the question about the missing Liberty's holding in ITV and no-one came back with an answer.

I've just looked up the latest institutional shareholdings of ITV and still no Liberty, click on this and then under 'ownership' move from funds to institutions :-

I'll also pass on that as well. I'm too retired and leave here in the Algarve, its going to be around 25 degrees again today so a nice dip in the pool before golf later !

Talk about timing !!
