I'll dig up a decent youtube take off when I'm home, volume at max!

However, the anti-vaxx movement in other countries may have an indirect impact on places like the UK withdrawing restrictions. Whilst others keep chasing controlling the vaccine because of low vaccine take-up, it means true free travel will be some way off still which affects the airline bottom line at the end of the day.

Why are they trying to silence aircraft? A jet engine makes one of the most beautiful sounds. People living near airports should be grateful. Increase the noise so we can all get a fair share.

Back in the day, I used to go down to the inner ring road, as it was then, at Heathrow just to experience the concorde sound. When taking off on the limit, south runway heading west, you could get the closest sound, I can still remember the inside of my rib cage vibrating on many occasions. Take-off in twilight, enough to see the whole aircraft but dark enough to watch the afterburners licking the end of the runway. These days, you can't hear anything at an airport.

effects of 5G argument. It is a temporary hiccup, but nonetheless a real thing. I can not see any other outcome in the short term than the moratorium being extended a bit more until all systems are ticked off as safe.

"The 5G thing is a total red herring."

errr.... sorry but it is a very, very big issue that could result in thousands and thousands of flights cancelled irrespective of the airline concerned, this is like having flight worthy certificates suddenly withdrawn for over half the world fleet.

Spar, opening up post omicron is probably going to take longer than you wish. If I read this rather cryptic story correctly, the EU is pulling back on opening up routes and is still trying to control the spread of a virus that is now totally proven to be of no consequence to health systems against the normal issues.

but..... IAGLong, what are the chances of turning £500 into £500,000 with BP? I can dream of that, you are stuck with boring 10% gains maybe!

Expert lobby group holding on to the superspreader masks to keep the pandemic going as long as they possibly can.

" but the face mask rule could remain"

Those gongs were handed out way to early.

"Buy opportunity can close green"

However powerful the telecoms think they are, airlines have the trump card of safety critical operation. 5G is not essential for the safe operation of aircraft, but potentially vulnerable aircraft systems are critical.

Therefore, the 5G will not be turned on near airports until all flight systems are verified as safe. So this little dip is a most likely to be cancelled and then reversed when the FAA announces a further 5G rollout delay. Of course, you only gain if you buy and then cash in.

If you want real casino investing, pick AIM stocks that do not have any automatic trades. The market is then set by market makers and private random investors.

But whichever type of market you play in, remember one golden law, the stock markets are very efficient machines to move money form the pockets of private investors to the bank accounts of institutional investors. It is a one way street.

The bots are tied to algorithms that are tied to each others outputs. One moves, they all move. Also, airlines is very international and so impacts on sp are reflected everywhere, the 5G issue probably draggin sector down specifically today. The bots also have rules to prevent runaway sp changes so they are regulated. The algorithms have variables that individual investment houses can 'tweak' to suit their own strategy, and decouple stocks from the market should something specific happen which should not influence another sp. It is similar with the oil price, the bots are pegged to oil price movements. Other stocks have their prime moving variables too, agriculture has weather.

Sometimes the price movement does look like direct manipulation as the whole sector rises and falls in unison, and there might be some common setting of variables in the algorithms simply because all the traders see the same news, move between institutions and take their trading pattern with them as well as being left on the bots in the previous place. Eventually you end up with a mulched mix with broadly the same investing consensus. That's why claiming booking s on IAG transatlantic flights is going to magically push the sp to 200+ is a bit of wishful thinking. To stand out you need big numbers of change and the isolated market effect doesn't last long as all the other bots catch up and absorb the new levels.

Owl, I like a flutter, I bunged £500 in to UKOG on a wild dream of turning 0.1p shares into 100p as the UK government frees up all oil and gas local production due to world supplies being cut of in the next world war [coming soon]. Probability of a that happening? 1:9,999,999,999,999,999 Probability of doubling my stake? 1:9,999,999 Probability of getting £20 profit to buy a KFC bargain bucket by the end of the year? 1:9. The fun of the ride, well if I assume my £500 is a cost for entertainment which I would pay over at the box office never to see again, then I will hope that the show will be entertaining. I like the fun of potentially sitting on a fortune, despite the odds.

"only to see them rise to $110 or so. I felt a bit sick at the time"

I think of it like this. If I put the chips down on 3 wins in a row on a roulette table, and decided to walk away and keep the winnings, would I care what the next 3 numbers would be? Would I care whether I would win 3 more or lose 3? No, I have moved on. With shares it never what could have been, it is what it is now. Otherwise you end up committing the sins of gambling, chasing losses, lamenting lost opportunity. There are shares every single day that have huge gains. Do you feel sick you didn't invest in each one of them day by day? You are probably unaware of them at all. So it means nothing. Same attitude for a share you do know about. Win or lose, the next buy or sell is independant.

Easy J may have dropped to clear a large dump, or it could have been high to begin with to clear a large buy. Seems to be in line with the rest of the sector now.

Whilst good news, why are they waiting for their own results before moving forward? This info has been known since end of November with the SA data.

Honest, nobody's singling out the unvaccinated. Honest. lol.

"Being jab free incurs judgement from most before one says anything."

Otherwise known as having a chip on your shoulder. You actually WANT attention. A since a few government have sought to limit the spread [a useless activity] by shutting out people without a vaccination it has become a cause celeb for all those who crave attention but are so small and unimportant can not get the attention anywhere else. SO you wave your flag as vigorously as possible. You then start making weird false statements to get a reaction. Still nothing. So you go marching, you go rioting. Now you have attention. But it is negative, oh and therefore it comes full circle to justify your cause.

You are being ostracised because because your protests are violent and abusive which are to do with you not being vaccinated.

Where were you lot pre covid marching the street, waving your banners, precovid, when China refused entry to anybody with the correct Yellow fever certificate????

You're mostly just attention seekers that follow the televisions around from one cause celeb to another. Same faces, just a different slogan.

wobbles, critically the question could it ever reach 230p within the time frame where debts overtake the business. A choice of sp for a RI might not be an option! Also, factor in the pension funds wanting a return to dividends as they have payments to make. The restoration of routes has slowed to a trickle and some are being delayed. The end game of the pandemic is looking like it is going to be dragged out, unless we have a worldwide backlash against experts. If the anti vaxx mob would do something constructive and start attacking the expert advisors then we could exit the deep hole much quicker.
