Pleased to be out of it to be honest. Ran into a couple of ex colleagues in the supermarket today. Asked how it was going at work. They said same old thing. 20 staff vacancies not filled, many walks being left in every day, rotating them in the hope joe public don't notice. Crappy company, crappy service.

Is easy jet. Just when you think it's on a path to recovery......

Yes, the Divi statement is a little vague.

Hmmm. More due to me and my Mrs hard work and foresight. Investing well for our future.

Although I'm no longer a postie. I'm reliably informed that 10% of walks don't go out on a daily basis at ny old office. 15 vacancies they are not filling, presumably to save money. Shocking this is still standards practise for royal mail. Glad I was money smart and could retire at 51.

Welcome surprise!! I've been burnt with so many shares this year posting great results and dropping (EZJ for example). Let's hope it sticks and is a sign of things to come.

In balance with a general mrkt down day today, I'd say Investors will be disappointed with the divi and foreward pessimistic (some may say realistic) statement regarding the wider economy. The markets will probably mark this down to 215-220 this morning I'm afraid.

Is that what we were expecting? Seems a stretch to call it 'modest' ! I'd call it poor. Okay, nice to have something reinstated but was really expecting a bit more than that.

When will the rise stick and progress back to where it should be, top side of £5?

Buybacks are NOT a payday for shareholders! I've never received a penny for a buyback, in fact the SP never usually reacts at all to buybacks in my experience. Would have preferred an ACTUAL pay day in the form of a divi hike.

Pleasant surprise so far. Caught it on a general market up day which is always a bonus but most companies missing estimates are punished these days. Let's hope I'm not talking too soon and we remain north of £6.

So in current mkts, I gues we'll see sub 570.

I think a big problem/cause of huge drops like this morning, is AI with automated trading and people setting stop losses. A drop triggers multiple stop losses to sell then the auto trading AI kicks in and makes it worse.

The markets are just rigged. Simple. Barc, lloy, ezj and now nwg, all hammered on not too shabby results. Big players taking money from the private investor. Yes they have said less NIM for next yr but there's no profit warning, cut to div (in fact EZJ reinstated theres and lost over 15%!). Just remember folks you haven't lost money till you sell, if you're down.

Probably get hammered down to 185 today. Grrr.

To sub 130 today. Probably will be again tomorrow. Profit to be had from here but no rush to get in I think.

Makes me think is it really worth investing anymore. easyJet was the same couple of weeks ago. Record profits, restoration of dividend, confident management outlook, massive reduction in debt.........and it's now sitting 15% lower!!!! If Barc goes same way I'd wait a while before jumping in on the hope for a quick rebound, especially with Lloyds and NatWest reporting this week. GL all.

Let's hope oil doesn't go that high, it would be catastrophic for an already fragile world economy.

Rumors for next yr, could help here god knows we need something to lift the SP.

Strange almost the day they forecast oil to drop into the $70's they recommend a buy for BP. All have their motives and it usually doesn't favour the little guy.
