viren1, occasionally you will see with some of the penny shares that the iis wouldn't touch with a barge pole, with no auto trading, the share will spike 2 fold, 3 fold, 10 fold - a 2 bagger, a 3 bagger, a 10 bagger. There are get rich quick investors that spend all their time trawling for hints of certain 'personalities' or tracking certain 'directors'. This is where you find REAL rampers. Real boiler room setups that work in tandem with over hyped exploration [interim] results coupled with very large buys and certain public comments from these well placed people. Sp rises massively, thousands of idiot pis pile in, sp suddenly stops, the large buys have been selling out since the start of the rise as the pis fund the profits. Finally the pis are left with massively overvalued stock which then crashes back. The size of the pis loss is how quick they bail. No pis make money from those organised raids unless they second guess where and when it will happen or carpet bag a wide range of minnow shares. iis have similar campaigns but run such that they are much more factual based, in shares with large amounts moving in an out anyway, and much legal and legit in using published data - although the broker note system where the brokers have private briefings and then release their own summaries is a bit close to the edge of insider trading for me. Always remember, stock markets are very efficient machines for transferring money from pis to iis. It takes a great deal of discipline and keeping a 360 view on everything to make money!

Well jtom, if indeed anybody was on the same investment plan as me, they are doing very well out of Easy J, SSP and even RR at the moment. At least I don't bury my head in the sand and filter out echoes I don't want to hear.

Beautifully crafted post IAGLongterm. For all those duped into filtering me from repeated anti-Big-Blue campaigns you make it sound like the original negatives ascribed to me falsely, are valid.

Now, copy and paste that for all the filtered to read!!!!

Oh dear,

I feel very sorry for the New Zealanders. When they finally open up, they will not be able to hold back ALL of the variants. The vaccinations are going to help a lot to keep numbers down, but they are going to have to go through some delta hotspots overloading their health system. They will look back and recognise that the lockdown did nothing except delay the inevitable, caused enormous hardship and the final death toll will be the same as if they hadn't had a lockdown, something initial studies are beginning to suggest. This is going to be a very hard year for New Zealand.

"saying it’s a great investment :-/"

I've never said this is such. I have pointed out real issues to be mindful of which currently keep me and a lot of others sitting on the fence.

Meanwhile, money makers day trading in the dealing rooms will zoom in on a share irrespective of fundamentals, prospects, industry, reputation or anything other than in/out prospects to turn a few thousand at a time. All the iis and pro traders need is an indication the share will be regularly topped up with new money as the waves of money slosh around between shares. Latter today, tomorrow, next week, next month, who knows where the 'mob' will be chasing that wave. For a moment, the wave is washing over the travel sector. It will go away. It will come back. Very occasionally it will be news/event related. Other iis and pis will move according to news, results, and so on causing minor movements. It is a game. Nothing more than a game to predict where are the iis going, and get there one trade ahead.

Given the announcement to remove all covid restrictions, notice there is an immediate reaction from some to say no, keep it! This is the big danger, a mixed and wide range of people and institutions are going to have a problem letting it go. It has become the new normal for some and to go back to the previous normal requires change and not everybody handles change very well. It is very clear the mask comfort blanket is being held on to with desperation. That is most likely the outward sign of the inner conflict over change. Furthermore, there is the powerful snobbery associated with mask wearing - some of which you have seen on here. Accusations of being 'selfish' if you don't wear a mask. Nothing really to do with the non-wearer actually being selfish, but more to do with the accuser playing some holier than thou trump card. And this also extends to institutions which give it a political overtone such as TFL who maintain a mask mandate as a political leverage as if the Labour mayor is being more intelligent then the Tory government. The introduction of mask use was originally a political stunt as a visual sign of being anti-Trump, those pushing that idea knowing that many people would be mandated to wearing masks anyway which could be falsely interpreted as a much more widespread display than was actually the case.

Anyway, the pandemic will only be truly over and out when the masks mandates are gone from everywhere including aeroplanes.

I refer to the statements I made yesterday. The day before that, week before that, the month and year before that. Stratergy with IAG is unchanged.

The 'pullback' happened before market close yesterday. Today is will most likely be another surge forward pull back day. Whether the close price is up or down is somewhat irrelevant as it is day traded by iis. What is critical is there is enough for new money to keep topping up to keep the average of the surges going up, up and away.

Byt the derampers will no doubt continue to bash the stock with all their posts about pullback being inevitable blha, blah....

Whilst the derampers work overtime, stories like this only show positives

https://australianaviation.com.au/2022/02/british-airways-to-resume-sydney-london-route-in-march/

All these derampers on the board with their doom and gloom short positions.

I will expect another useful rise today as oil nudges down a little more.

This story was out last week by the way. I also remember it being mentioned before Christmas. t

Debt wouldn't be gone. Credit deals with BA, government loan was absolutely for BA alone. Depending what IAG wants out of a breakup, BA could be loaded up with all sorts of nasties.

Basically the sector is now more or less back to pre-omicron. For those of us who sat on our hands and rode it out, it was a frustrating wait some weeks longer then necessary. But, reset button pressed, now ready to resume service. In the hands of the bots I think for the rest of the week.

"Looks like EZ run has fizzled"

OK, Only a minor tiny insignificant 4%+ for the day. Was perhaps a pointless exercise really. Added to yesterday, I mean, barely worth noting. Surely people could have done better in a savings account or premium bonds? And the same for IAG. What was the point?

Jeeezzzz man!

Handful of Tories wearing masks.
Most Labour and opposition wearing masks. It is becoming a political symbol exactly like it started out as an anti-Trump symbol.

Meanwhile, bots putting another surge on the sector, Easy heading to 720 [don't think it will get there] and IAG pushing a bit further ahead [maybe reach 4%]

Great example of how establishing a propaganda line can end up being by-line for everybody.

Today, headlines all over the place saying Brexit has cost money and time for all businesses. Everybody talking in terms of Brexit creating the problem.

Actually, it was Europe that insisted on all the paperwork, costs and controls. They insisted all that be in the trade deals. UK never added any barriers. They all came from the EU.

But see how all the issues are expressed in terms of being generated by Brexit, not by the EU?

Now cast your mind to other issues that have an apparent cast iron narrative. Keeping the 360. It throws up some very unexpected points of view.

Looks like a rather extended morning session has settled to some positive gain. The pattern has been too often to retrace gains the next day. Nice to see no retrace and actually gain before lunch.

When to call it a day and say profit v time held has tended to no additional prospects. Well, pandemic, both Easy and IAG can easily double purley by looking at the 5 year chart - nothing else. So if I go conservative and give each a 50% gain by end of summer I could be pleasantly surprised. For Easy J, a lot will depend on how it is affected during the consolidation [assuming it happens]. For IAG it depends on what is done with BA [RI, bonds, revenue, sell-off]. If potential BIG investors are looking at the same charts, my guess is the potential for very large big deal gains will be too alluring. The environmentalists do not seem to have established a reset of air travel atitudes from what I can see. COP26 doesn't seem to have succeeded there. Also, with more and more skeptical groups challenging net zero policies in the real world as the costs become apparent, I am going to estimate the climate crap is going to be sidelined a bit. Mind you I have been expecting the truth to come out on that issue for the last two decades and the hypnotic stranglehold has simply got tighter. But I do think post pandemic there is going to be a great deal more scrutiny about 'expert' claims and the inquires get under way and start reporting. Claim in the states that the US lockdown prevented 0.2% of deaths!!! And if the fuel crisis does result in more easy local production, especially onshore, then my mad punt with UKOG might pay off. In fact I was thinking last night to carpet bag a range of the little oil and gas minnows and plonk a hundred or two in most of them.

ENJOY - there are some great ones in this list, Star Wars!

awww chucks mystic.

As expected, bots pulling Easy back a bit to 708, next target 720? IAG also being surged back and forth. Not looking at the other airlines these days as I had SSP and RR on this part of the portfolio. The Easy J reason might be the code share with Greek carrier opening up islands. Possibly some investors see this as a clue to potential takeover/merger in the big shake up expected very soon????
