I don't normally see the big movements in my shares and it takes a bit of getting used to.
Seen some big shifts in some of the bargain basement dogs that pump & dumpers follow BUT I thought Inspecs was a safer bet. Is this a sign of things to come?
Buzzcoin seems to have got a bee in his bonnet, I may need a mozzie net too.

Perhaps it is time to get a fresh face in on 'Who wants Millionaire'......I wonder what Gary Lineker is doing?!

Sends a huge message to your target audience(s) about the sort of ethics you have as a boradcaster. I doubt he will survive at ITV. They are probably already collecting the piles of excrement, ready to 'wave' him goodbye.
Kevin Lygo (ITV's media and entertainment boss) said there were no plans "at the moment" for JC. But has the Dame spoken on the subject?....she will be asked and needs a convincing view on the subject. Perhaps JC gives her a free turkey for Christmas, that would get me on board. I wonder if he has enough turkeys for every ITV investor?!

Jeremy Clarkson has shown himself to have some 'peculiar' views....even his daughter has distanced herself from the article. Does any boardcaster want to be associated with a person with such views?.....in the case of ITV it's yes...."at the moment".
It's about branding.....ITV has branded itself with a misogynist dinosaur....a hugely popular misogynist dinosaur!!

Clarkson has worked for ITV......or more apt perhaps, he DID work for ITV.
Btw I am also raising money for Jeremy, if anyone wants to donate?!!

"King Charles is supporting him."
======================================
Not a bad 'phone a friend'!!.....who is the other one?....Putin!

"Anyone supporting Clarkson is as bad as the little jerk."
===============================================================
I bet to differ....he's a big jerk.

JC is 'biggerer' than JC
Thankfully we have Elon to protect our freedom of speech....unless of course you disagree with him, then you're banned. It's good to be the king!!
PS I'm trying to raise some money to help Michelle Mone, would anyone like to donate?....anyone?!!!!?

Replace JC on 'Who wants to be millionaire' with Meghan?!....interesting!!
Sort of like poetic justice!!

It's all very well to be hyper positive. Ultimately increased vewing figures and good numbers from ITVX will please the market, especially if translated into profits. We can also dream about a takeover offer....but that is probably more speculative.
The numbers will talk. Wishful thinking sometimes isn't enough. World cup has ended....Christmas viewing figures await. Hopefully ITVX will deliver in 2023. If it doesn't I can wait.

Watched the match on BBC (not my choice btw). Unfortunately ITV didn't have exclusivity for the final.
It will be interesting to see what the viewing figures are like for ITVX.
BTW there are two ways to monetise ITVX....through advertising and through paid subscribers wathcing ad-free.

It will be interesting to see if public opinion is swayed by his hogwash. Personally I think his 'performance' was an early Christmas present for the Nurses!!

Just watched Oliver Dowden crashing his ministerial noddy pedal car on the Laura K show....he needs a high calibre number cruncher like Sisyphus. You've got the job m8!!
DTR

Sisyphus, both are silly IMO. You are assuming that you can sell above your purchase price, enough to cover costs/spread. It is a silly thing to calculate....same as my 'calculation' that generated 56.4%, pure hokum.
DTR

Alboum, you are obviously correct. Management stated their intention to pay a certain dividend based on a certain profit forecast and with a certain level of dividend cover. The SP has fallen, meaning there is a mismatch between what the market expects and/or what the management thought would happen.
If profits are sustained along with the dividend then the market is probably undervaluing ITV. If profits reduce then the dividend may come under pressure - especially if start up costs at ITVX exceed forecasts. I suppose management could reduce dividend cover to maintain the dividend....but ultimately it's a question of what you believe.
DTR

Sisyphus, your maths is garbage & potentially misleading. In the space of 20 minutes your 'potential' return has gone from 11.3% to 14% pa. Pure fantasy IMO.
You wouldn't like a job working for a crypto exchange would you?!

"..... the bare facts are that the forecast final divi of 3.3p minimum per share (progressive) to be declared March, ex d April and paid May is 4.71% over the 5 months and equivalent to 11.3% pa."
=========================================================================
Sisyphus, are you sure about your maths. It may be potentially misleading to say that ITV pays a dividend of 11.3% per annum, which is what your calculation implies.
I suppose I could say that if I held the ITV shares for 1 month, managed to sell for more than I bought the shares (enough to just cover the costs) AND got 3.3p per share dividend my yearly dividend rate would be approximately:
3.3/70 x 100 = 4.7% per month (assumes I bought & sold circa 70p per share)
equivalent to 12 x 4.7 = 56.4% pa.....EASY money!

The only problem it is garbage!!

When I buy a share and it does well it is because I am a financial genius with a midas touch. When the SP falls it is because of shorters, derampers & market manipulation. From reading a lot of forums I am not alone in the estimation of my investing skills.
I did make a mistake once in my life....a long time ago now....but she gets half of everything if I correct it!!

Perhaps it is the end to the FIFA world cup bonanza on Sunday.

I suspect they are urgently trying to find a replacement before they have to inform the market. But the news has leaked.
I wonder if this was linked to delay in securing the funding?!

What is the link between STV and ITV?
I remember seeing STV all the time when watching 'I'm a celebrity', but I always thought they were an independant company. Do ITV own STV?
STV are small compared to ITV....they were doing quite well until Covid hit and haven't recovered. Unlike ITV where the decline in SP has been consistent since early 2016.
