so no orange glow on the sky line, no warnings or caution about limits on doing a bit of island hopping then? No public service advice about what might be drifting in thr breeze? Really?

I look forward to Johnyb and the tge great new pretender who opened an account yesterday meeting up in Tenerife. It isn't a big place, you both clearly have plenty of time. Is there anything going on over there that might be worth noting, only covid in the Island news????

r101, yes aware of news, but a similar cure was also announced yesterday that didn't also require anti retroviral HIV drug to be taken at same time. So why sector redponse to complicated Pfizer pr? I think it was something else, something like day 2 test to be abandoned rumour or similar?????? I can't identity why the surge, classic off the record stuff, it may come out over the weekend.

But I win the willy waving contest, almost 10% on ssp alone. And queue trolls to throe insults,.........

daphonic, member since..... yesterday. What a completely pathetic attempt at ramping. What a total joke.

I had some very large orders this afternoon, lots of lovely profit. I was watching with interest a basket of airline shares. They were all marked up, ALL. If you think IAG did OK, my SSP was up just a whisker under 10% on whatever the key news was.

A number here are reading this as something to do with Q3 results and the ceo spin conference. If that were so, you wouldn't have had the nose dive in the morning! Easy J up 6%, the one I loaded 45k into yesterday, ssp (9.96%, Tui 6.25%, Jet2 4.8%, Wizz a mere 2.44%. If I cash in Tui Monday I'll already have the same markup I had pn IAG on Thursday.

So people need to be cautions about thinking this is an IAG thing. And all experience points to, march it up the hill, for it to be marched back down again latter. And also, paper profit can not be spent, it is only a profit when you cash in the gain.

Something gave the travel sector a boost today and it bumped around in unison, very oddly in unison.

So, given my stock had the highest rise of the day, looks like I have willy waving rights to the playground ;)

mmmmmm...........

I will post comments related to the industry IAG is concerned with as I wish. Sounds like some want an echo chamber where they will be stroked and told everything is just fine and nothing is going to go wrong. Why anybody should be so exorcised with the comments of another is just beyond me. I have no agenda to influence or advise anybody. I merley ensure that those trying to fool and con others into buying are correctly informed as to what exists in the real world, not the ramp fest fantasy world. Those are irritated be me, are only irritated because they are prevented from pushing their own agenda. I couldn't care less where the sp on share is if I decide to buy. My only concern is that there is a prospect of a sizable differential when I sell for profit. Whether IAG is 90, 130, 155, 180, 210 is completely irrelevant. If I day trade it, I don't 'wait' for this or that number, that is the wrong way to trade unless you have a specific event in the real world you expect to force a price down. You do what the hell you want with your shares, it is none of my business and I couldn't care less about your portfolio. But a ramp fest or panic sell ramp will be called out where it is not justified.

I am more feeling that the US jobs data has pumped the market. US recovery feeds through to UK/EU sentiment. Or something has come out of cop26 that has taken a lot of pressure of the travel sector which isn't headlining yet - but I thought today was youth day. Maybe the youfs have insisted on the freedom to travel just like all the grumpy old buggers!

The Biden announcement was notorious for having a negative impact on the sp if I remember rightly, it was supposed to have gone direct to 200.

Anyway, taken a punt on TUI, I think that has got more room for bounce back in the very short term. Need to let IAG shake out before the 8th headlines to see what alarms to set up. Needs some weekend analysis before organising some day trading with IAG, need to have a good look through the news diaries up to end Jan and get the feel how iis are goingt o milk the pis. Also, with recovery and planes getting put back into service, the window for the big reorganisation is opening up. Will BA be spun off with its credit issue???????

Confirms what I was saying earlier that as markets become volatile, IAG maybe a day trader, a heavy handed day trader. But do I want to go back to intense price watching again? I've enough bargain buckets to see me through to next month lol. TUI looks to be a good recovery bet now.

Just back from lunching out and what do I see, something in the 360 has bumped everything up. Lucky little investors on the tail wind of whatever it is. You would be fooling yourself if you thought this has anything to do with IAG Q3 report, you saw the market reaction to that.

Checking out my other significant holding in the bellwether share, SSP, that has catapulted nearly 6.5%just after 10.30pm.

And herein is the lesson. You must always take in the 360 as other events can have a significant affect on how the market trades. It sounds like the news story over the covid drug is the trigger here, although I'm not sure it has been read properly. It has to be taken together with a HIV drug. Wonder why the market didn't react to the authorisation of the other treatment pill molnupiravir which is taken less frequently and doesn't need other parallel medication. I suppose the Pfizer PR machine is much better and grabbing headlines.

Good time to take profits.

US jobs report has also helped, very good news.

Can't tell the truth to save your sorry little..... honestly. In the light of a number of milestones where the ramp fest has obliterated almost all open discussion on this board with ridiculous predictions of swp moves, where there has been mostly the opposite effect on the news, I simply asked that the extent of the nonsense is pulled back to reality and the real world. Keep it up sundenza because the many requests for higher powers to monitor this board in the hope of specifically removing me will have been heard but the conclusion as to where the inappropriate behavior actually resides will be very different than what you expect. Reign it in a bit if you can't qualify your rantings, and especially your corporate expense claims of which you have presented not the slightest shred of evidence. Maybe you are the one people should have filtered!!

Thank you Benji boy and sundenza for articulating exactly what I was saying.

"The nasty attacks are easy ignored and I too will get labelled as a deramper in league with you etc etc "

I'll get it in first, 'Mary' my alter ego - only at weekends of course, lol

A lot of you pinned your colours to the mast with multiple predictions of 200 here there and everywhere and none of the ramp predictions have come to pass. I have posted real world points that have been fully referenced. I have posted the 360 points that also feed into the big picture view that has a significant impact on how people invest.

It is time now for this ridiculous ramp fest to be toned down a bit and some realism brought to the discussion. It is time to stop treating people that raise very legitimate points as if they are the devil incarnate to be despised and cast out. The perpetual promises of sp gains, jam tomorrow, 200+ by next news event, must now stop.

Some complain they don't like the atmosphere on this board. I suggest it has been significantly soured by the never ending ramp fest and the nasty attacks on people that do not share the ramp fest sentiment.

Well, you have a Q3 today, real numbers, real data [mmmm well sort off in my opinion] and there is no jam on the toast, indeed there isn't even any butter as it is settling less than 2% down on the opening price.

The ramp fest is over. Start getting realistic or LSE might just intervene but not in the way some of you expect! You have been warned.

"BB, by the way, you got it right in buying EZJ !! NOT"

Oh, so Easy J have announced who is buying them out and that has resulted in the sp dropping? How did I miss that one?

Or, maybe, just maybe, IAG results are not so good from a market perspective, the IAG is pulled back on the Q3 results and some highly questionable auto cross trading has pulled down all the other shares.

Selective posting again sundenxa, I am heavy in Easy J ready for rumours of take-over which may not happen until Easy J finals in December, or may present wonderful volatility in the run up for some heavy handed day trading.

Anybody want some KFC, I've errr got plenty to go around!!!!

The problem is Mary, on many days it is multiple avatars' very nasty personal attacks on me with overt campaigns to filter and lobby LSE to close my account, simply because I call out issues, reference them, and don't join in the ramp fest. If I answer back, like calling out sindancer to provide backup to his corporate high flyer claims, then I am the one cast in error again. It is unfortunate the board is infested with an organised ramp fest deploying exclusion strategies. I feel sorry for the poor sods who have been caught out and lose following the jam tomorrow brigade and close their ears to the 360.

The problem for you sundenza, and the rest of the ramp fest crew, you have been promising jam tomorrow on every upcoming event and it has simply failed. Your run on failed predictions is now embarrassing for you, month in month out, not one single ramp fest prediction has come true. And you are already switching to the next one, 8th Nov, and again it is more jam tomorrow. Just getting it wrong over and over is bad enough but to start throwing in bare faced lies about corporate business trips twice a week (flying??? huh, more like a tram two stops down the street to the other high st office Coffee shop) is just a bit too much. You are currently a complete joke because you won't declare the corporation or even the industry sector, you won't say where you are supposedly flying too or which carriers. Shameful.

People that believe filtering out those who do not ramp or share the expectation of making gains by default demonstrate they have a gambling problem. It is called denial. It might only be a mild problem, but nevertheless, some of you definitely have gambling problems.

Yes Jtan, I think there are grounds for the FCA to examine the computer trading. There are supposed to be safeguards in the system to protect against runaway algorithms and there is far too much bloc trading here where pis and others can not trade on a fair basis if the algorithms are set up to trade in a cross collateral method, which is not the same as a hedging method. I've been waiting for the whole year for the decoupling of shares as they should be diverging as lockdown ends and travel resumes as the airlines serve quite different markets.
