Is there a boiler room operation on this? There are some distinct ramping styles here at the moment. When it goes down it was all market makers shaking trees or an 'obvious' durrr correction 'to allow their mates to jump on board'. And if it goes up it is all about jumping aboard as fast as possible to 'not miss out'. Have the spreadbet syndicates set themselves up around this ready for the dilution collapse? Try and push pis to add as much as possible so the spread down is all that bit bigger? There is a very definite pattern here - a very familiar one.

Bellweather stock SSP dropped over 5% today. Not a good sign. I hope it is just profit taking after yesterday - it is a footfall share for airport traffic. Over the last 6 months it has tended to lead what follows amongst the airlines, most of the time. Little movement elsewhere so it might signal a bit of retracing over the rest of the week.

Waiting for bid on Easy J to be made public.

"DUBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Etihad Airways is working on what would be its third financing transaction linked to sustainable investment considerations, the Abu Dhabi government-owned airline's treasurer said on Wednesday."

How many sweepstakes will I need. Jeez... form an orderly RI queue please......

"PARIS, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA) is looking at raising fresh funds soon after completing a share issue earlier this year, bolstered by a positive trend in bookings since the United States announced a reopening to Europeans, its chief executive said on Wednesday."

I'll start a sweepstake again for how many days before IAG announces their second fundraise on the back of positive bookings.....

"BERLIN, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Germany does not see any sign that it could face the same kind of fuel shortages suffered in Britain, a spokesperson for the economy ministry said on Wednesday."

All start a sweepstake. Now that a minister has said, no worries here, in Germany, how many days before Germany has far bigger queues at their petrol stations?
I'll say first will appear on Saturday - and remember Germany and Poland have much worse driver shortages then UK.

Where are your quotable answers to the questions about false press statements made by zeroair about their hydrogen tank being safe or was it that they failed to follow CAA flight plan? You are in the American side of the company so you claim, let's have a response. It is notable how you evade it. Come on Johubrie, don't be shy. The Sun pays good money for exclusives, "Hydrogen plane crashes, spokesman lies about safety. Parent company in the States buries head in sand."

The new larder fridge has been working away nicely for a couple of months now sundezan. The new carpets are bedded in and the deep pile is gorgeous underfoot. The new bathroom is performing great with the low maintenance power shower, shower board wall cladding and all the specialist paintworks and new cabinets, and basins and everything else. Kitchen next, then flog it for a smaller house banking silly profits. Simples.

paper profit! Bear that in mind before you spend it, you've got to cash in to have a real gain.

I think you will find sundenza that the tail end of the remaining 7% of the rights is still being cleared. My estimate is they will be cleared midday today and with pis seeing the shares now part of their existing holding the new trading level will be seen. It is a remote possibility that could be delayed until tomorrow, but the overall outcome from the swallow tail option is about 5% gain overall.

"demand will be huge in the winter and bookings are soaring..they are raising iag as they know this winter will be different from all other winters. good call.. dyor."

I'll have what he's having, lol. What meds are you on? 8:30 and you're already bouncing off the walls in fits of exhortation!! Are you putting too much sugar in your porridge or something.

Now, for followers of climate change, there is something of very significant interest in the FT this morning. "BHP shareholders urged to vote against climate plan"

"Glass Lewis, the influential proxy adviser, has recommended clients vote against the world’s biggest miner’s Climate Transition Action Plan, citing concerns about its scope as well as the alignment of its target with the latest climate science."

A very rare challenge to the consensus and narratives. It will be interesting to see if this pushes the first domino, or is stamped out in the brutal manner we are accustomed to now. If it is the first domino, then there could be hope in staving off the attacks to come on airlines.

Interesting post. Copying and pasting a broker note. I thought these broker notes were to be disregarded as meaningless? Let's see how the detractors over the last few weeks of broker notes refer to this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hypocrite.

Enlighten yourselves.

Bull... redundancy is also a form of liquidity! Furlough scheme ends tomorrow. We wait and see.

sundeza is in love...... oh how sweet....... luuurrvvv

falling in love with a share is one thing, but to fall in love with me on a bb is quite something
. I am flattered and blushing.

Tired of my ranting over the upcoming cop26. Now, read the article. The boss of Jet2 is raising the concerns about possible impediments to flying. The comment is in there, "making air travel accessible largely to the wealthy". I have posted there is a very real danger that the access and opportunity to flying will revert back to the jet set of the 70's and 80's with plebs consigned to charter flights once every three years to the furkin costa del bloody sol or some such crap.

And you all have yourselves to blame. All of you have sat back and failed to challenge the takeover of the new religion, Green Crap. They run everything now and have completely control of governments and media. Last target is industry.

You have ONE, just one election left to make a move on this movement or it will be game over and the complete collapse of the western industrialised society. The costs and impact of trying to fix a problem that doesn't actually exist on a planetary scale is guaranteed to fail and knock effects bring economies to an unrecoverable fault. The little hiccup at the pumps in the UK is a minor tiny little glimpse into a future just a few years away thanks to the electric vehicle policies.

Fugazi, I anticipate a recession next year. The industrialised countries are coming out of lockdown only to discover a large part of the workforce has retired in one way or another. Not having the draw of expensive outlets, evenings out, travel, shopping, many people have watched the money piling up and concluded they managed without the lifestyle quite easily and will continue like that saving a significant amount of money and can make ends meet without having to work. There are some, especially in europe, trying to pin it all on Brexit but how they can claim their system is better when they have more lorry drivers missing in Germany and Poland than UK and they are in this magical free movement realm? The fuel queues will rapidly catch up with Germany when the Germans realise they have far fewer drivers and hence less potential petrol deliveries and so better fill-up just in case.

ANd this is why sundezena you constantly lose money playing the markets. You think it is some sort of competition with a medal at the end of it. Where is the end? Who are you in competition with? Am I supposed to feel some sort of emotion as you run around the playground waving your willy because today you have a paper profit somewhere? Have you got the courage to sell and actual realise some real life spendable money? You don't know the most elementary aspects of business, markets, corporate strategies, or indeed any clue how the city works and how it got to the number two position in world markets with the next stop, number one. It does it by milking private retail investors like you on every weekly cycle. The city knows your psychology inside out and the house, always wins with numb nuts starry eyed investors like yourself. I know a few of the traps that get quietly laid. I will wait for my entry point with IAG and move only then irrespective of what the price happens to have been in the last week, month, year or life time. If the clock hasn't run down, I may take a profit. Otherwise, I'll take a profit elsewhere. Certain green crap shares are going to get artificial boosts in November. Worth a quick in out - as long as they are not fuel intensive, of course.

Now put your willy away and go and SELL some shares and pocket real money.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

"i disagree with you saying they don't have 10.8b in the coffers...they actually do as of end of Aug."
You need to do some elementary research and these definitions. IAG do not have 10.8bn in the bank.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/liquidity.asp
IAG has slots, buildings, aeroplanes and businesses to sell. One of those assets it can sell for cash is BA for example, which is why I have a probability that rather than selling of bits and pieces, they could sell of a whole airline [BA or another]. They are currently juggling with the bankers how to cover liabilities and cash flow at the end of furlough specifically without letting go of their assets most likely. To cover IAG with cash, it is most likely the banks will most likely swap debt payments due for shares instead. That is where the first dilution may come from. IAG may decide not to liquidate any assets or hand over a share of the company to the bank, and resort to a RI to raise cash from shareholders, as declared the back up option or plan B as some might call it.

And as for Easy J, today is the day shares start trading. The issue was taken up 93%, the underwriters plonked the remaining 7% on the market this morning and that is working the sp at the moment. In fact only needing a 2-3% drop to clear out 21 million shares, the book was closed on them by 6:55 oversubscribed at 690 and the sp is 693 is pretty strong by my reckoning. Tomorrow will be the real post rights issue.

Now, sundezena, please do some research before you post rubbish about cash in coffers next time. You really show what little you know posting something like that.

Iceland next week 109 ret

I'm still expecting BA to be sold off anyway, 25% probability. BA has been kept at arms length from the rest of the IAG group, no synergising or merging of back office or even flight operations. I suspect the cow was always being fattened up for sale but the pandemic has got in the way.
