RR Should enter a team in the diving. Today's Google chart currently looks like they slowly made their way up the steps then done an amazing dive into the pool.

It's fifty million or thereabouts, that's canteen money to the RR board and won't make any real difference to the price. UNLESS the sales doesn't go through, then it will have a massive impact on the share price. That's the one sure thing about RR; it always over reacts to bad news no matter how small.

Qantas.

The incentive is to avoid your lungs being full of mucus to an extent that some doctors have said it’s like they’re made of Velcro with no room for oxygen, you basically suffocate to death while wishing you had taken your ticket and had your vaccine. There is no alternative. Ban the unvaccinated who have no medical reason to refuse the jab from everything, cinemas, flying, swimming, night clubs, pubs etc. I know it’s a human right to choose and we fought wars for democracy but Corona has rewritten everything, so a temporary halt to saying no, to save millions isn’t unreasonable.

300% against what figure? If its one, it's not going to help much.

Thanks PrettyWild. Selling is not an option at these prices; somehow the shares went so low that selling them now would almost be like giving them away. I seen an opportunity for recovery after the virus but I just never expected the studios to do what they are now doing. I think cinema will survive because it’s a good safe night out and compared to a lot of things such as bowling or theme parks it’s still relatively cheap. Disney must see a loss somewhere by streaming as the figures I am seeing are not just one or two people downloading but many thousands. Just a quick look today on one of the many websites and I could see 18795 people downloading Jungle Cruise, that’s crazy for a movie that came out only days ago and worse still is that the downloads are at a very high quality file size which is entirely different to what we used to see before Covid.

I’m not saying that watching a movie at home is a better experience than going to the cinema; I’m saying that is a massively cheaper albeit poorer experience that a lot of people will take. So why are Disney giving people this alternative? No one is answering this question. I have said that I think its to break the cinemas but I only think this way because no one is helping me understand the reasons why this is happening. All I am hearing is analogies about burgers etc.
I dont want to sell my shares because I got in at over £1 so I'm sitting here like everyone else, hoping for a change and looking for answers.

Yes they have been available but not on the same day as it’s released in the Cinema.

I knew about pirate downloads before I invested in Cineworld but I also knew that people got up and walked across the camera etc. for the first months of pirating uploads, right up until the movie hit the DVD market or went online via streaming . I knew these problems and I was happy with my investment because there was a nice three month window for Cinemas to make money. However with Disney now releasing directly to their own channel and cinema simultaneously, I feel the goalposts have moved and if I knew then what I know now I don’t think I would be in this chat room discussing why any large family will always go for the free download over the hit on family finances a cinema visit entails. Most people who invest in shares with enough money to matter to them, don’t worry about the price of a ticket but unfortunately the majority of the population s are not in this position and they will go for the free movie with takeaway every time.

When we had only 7 or so posts on here this morning we already had 2 people who could account for a minimum of 5 people skipping the cinema because family etc have already watched it via streaming.
I asked my son to show me where people are getting these downloads from and on the site I can see three pages each with 20 up-loaders and each up-loader has a minimum of 50 people downloading and half of the up-loaders have over 1000 people downloading with the top three showing over 2000 downloading. Now please explain to me why piracy and streaming have no effect on cinema.
Comparing the like for like business of fast food is not the same as downloading a movie. Competition is how businesses work but where is the competition if your competitor is offering the same product you are trying to sell for free, or streaming it for the same price as one cinema ticket so an entire family and friends can watch it at home.

Take that Burger van and drop one like it outside every McDonalds on the planet and see what happens to their profits.

If only one person watches a movie via streaming then it stands to reason that streaming has had a potential -1 customer impact on the Cinema.

That’s the reality of releasing via streaming; I would have expected to pay around £100 for the four of us to go to thin cinema with snacks etc. If this is happening to my family then what’s happening everywhere else. It's almost like Disney have seen an opportunity to promote its own platform and kill off the Cinemas. If other studios follow Disney’s lead then what chance for the entire cinema world. I can’t think of any other reason for Disney to do this and its easy to see why Scarlett Johansson is suing them.

Its already being shared around on Phones and Pc thanks to Disney Plus rips. We need to get back to the three month gap from release to theaters to release to everything else. I planned on a Holiday treat for my kids but both of them had already seen it and we don’t even have Disney Plus :( My own family have become part of the problem where I am loosing money since buying in.

If it didn't keep dropping huge amounts on the bad news and only rise small amounts on the good news I would be a lot happier. This share is so undervalued that people think its the forgery of the share world.

The Motley Idiot is unreal; as you point out he changes his mind every few hours. Someone should get all his articles on RR in some sort of timeline to see how stupid and actually how harmful to the company he can be seeing as he's well read and newbie investors may well be put off by his advice.

Old thread which is all over the place or eluded too in many other posts but now I have some firsthand experience; my double vaccinated niece was diagnosed with Covid last week, she went through 3 days of flu like symptoms with some breathing difficulties during the middle of the week but she is now getting better and has told me that apart from the worry of the breathing difficulties getting worse, she had coped very well with what she described as really bad cold like symptoms. On the other side of the coin my sisters farther in law who was 71 caught Covid while unvaccinated and he basically suffocated to death in intensive care because his lungs filled with so much mucus that there was no room for oxygen.
Basically if you’re not vaccinated, please ignore the doubters and use a little common sense for both your own future and to protect your loved ones.
Don’t expect everyone else to do the right thing while sitting there with missed appointments, ignored texts, or emails and don’t talk people out of getting their vaccines based on your own fears. GET VACCINATED!

There are only two places to get news about RR which will help you to make an informed decision on buying and selling RR shares, unfortunately this or any other forum is not one of those places.
1. For good News use the RR press release portal as its written by the people that actually work for RR; this is where you will find the good news and long term predictions that show you the future and more importantly that RR is planing very far into the future.
https://www.rolls-royce.com/media/press-releases.aspx
2. The BBC news website this shows you all the negative news, the same as any other news website but it's less based on rumour and more fact checked.
As a new investor, coming into this chat room caused me more anxiety and sleepless nights than any other medium could ever inflict.
Some of the things that come up week after week and are all total BS.
1. RR will be Bankrupt.
2. RR are going to Fly tomorrow, pun intended.

6. I'm averaging down.
7 it's all Market manipulation.
8. Should I sell?
9. Should I buy?
10. RR will drop to 80. "this is always my favourite, people predict a 20 point drop but don't do anything about it, I mean If you truly believe it, then sell and buy back.".
11. Its Bad Management. "Another good one, totally ignoring a pandemic and the fact we are invested in air travel while it's grounded".
12. Its the government's fault.
13. Motley Fool quotes .
14. I didn't realise the share had been diluted before I invested my life's savings.
15. 12 years ago this share was at £17, How long do you think to get back?
16. People want to fly.
17. Should I buy now or wait for the price to drop more?
18. Green list comes out tomorrow.
19 New Varients of concern found.
20. Wish I'd d never invested in this share, I thought I would double my money.

Sorry for the rant but good luck everyone with actual money in the share, which I truly believe is only about 50% of you :)

To all those who sold yesterday and before.. :) thank you for giving away your shares to new blood and I'm sorry you feel so sick today but who knows you might be right tomorrow or the next day but either way I'm sure you do the same amount of share price checking as those that stayed in.

Deaths are way lower than would be expected even in a Flu epidemic. The vaccines are doing their jobs.
