"Then we’d be “on the right side of history” and could re-apply for membership of the human race, having atoned for our part in the forcible eviction and house destruction of the Three Little Pigs. It may sound ridiculous but that is exactly what Welby has done with the (former) Church of England."
Can't see the CofE share price recovering any time soon. BP on the other hand...
RE: Short Sellers' Thought Process24 Jul 2024 12:59
Pokerchips - So this arguments is: There are a large number of bookings, but the bookings are for flights in the future - because the flights are in the future, and things may go wrong in the future, the market is understandably nervous and bearish.
Would a lack of bookings remove the bearish argument and allow the market to invest with confidence? Or would fewer bookings for future travel give rise to different concerns?
I suspect that short sellers had penciled in a drop to Oct 23 lows based on assumed disappointing results. Now they need to stall positive movement while they consider whether there are still arguments for the drop.
Is there something to say about debt and high interest rates, for example. Do people still care about uncertainty induced by Gaza and Ukraine. Has the Crowdstrike issue been squeezed for all its Bearish goodliness. Will it be enough to argue that the results were not Stellar enough?
Maybe they will need to give up on EasyJet for a while.
"Most of them (probably all) will have sizeable holdings in ASC through their other tracker funds (350 or all share) and will just internally move them around as companies move from one to another."
Does a company moving into the FTSE250 drop out of the All share index? Not sure how the internal movements that you suggest would work.
What you fail to mention in your repeated warnings about CCL, is that TUI has fallen dramatically compared with CCL over the last year. Time for shorters to stop being greedy.
Since the fairly positive Q3 results on 9 August TUI has bombed by approx 30%. In the same time interval Jet2 has dropped by approx 5%. Tui is now smaller than Jet2 by market cap.
The power of shorters? Capitulation? A consensus that Jet2 will earn more in the future? A hitherto unrealised link between the Chinese property market and the German travel industry?
