SO you are or are not involved with zeroavia then Johnbrie?

I wouldn't bank on that sightwatcher. The likes of Citadel are pretty sophisticated in what they do and will 99.999% have also bought market shares hedging the short position. They maybe the ones depression the price at the moment covering any potential short loss selling shares high, possible. They may already be able to close the covering the short already given a nice big 13-15% gain. However, there is still the matter of what the financing is looking like and that I would guess they will be in no hurry to close the short until there is more clarity from the company.

If, if, if Longterm. But to have the gain you say, means you have to have sold. One person has said they have sold. So out of all of you, one person has made money. One. And the other half are happy as their lding is now beginning to approach breakeven. Some need to keep this in perspective.

Benji, I have NOT MISSED a 30% rise. The switcheroo funds are tied up in Easy J. They are not ready for any switch. This is a classic false loss gamblers create and then start betting harder and more irrationally to make up something that never existed in the first place. There have been far bigger risers elsewhere. Did I miss out on them? No. There have been big drops too. Take an investing hint from a crusty old lag like me. Focus solely and exclusively on your investments as they happen. Potential losses or gains never happened for you in stock you are not holding. All that changes is the probability assessment IF you get involved in a new holding. Don't get distracted with virtual portfolios or other people's portfolios.

Just watch you flanks people, anything could and will happen.

Anyway, it appears the pile in has reached the top of roller coaster more or less. Hold on tight, this might be a 'Smiler'!

Mnazir90, to much experience to gamble for get rich quick wild speculation. Steady day trading and actually banking real money for me. For every missed positive opportunity,there are 10 disasters avoided too! I will be happy, as I have stated many times, to be take a weak watered down icing glaze on the cake if that is all that is safely available. And it will be converted to cash in the bank. Real actual mulla that can be spent at KFC.

oh benji, benji, benji.... You haven't taken any notice of anything said have you?I am not wasting anymore internet ink explaining for the umpteenth time what the switcheroo plan was.

I have some real worries for some of you, there is an awful lot of hindsight going on here! You are all beginning to delude yourselves. Never look back and think, what if. You will lose rational judgment and that leads to chasing losses that never existed and the inevitable loss of everything.

benji, perhaps that was the plan being worked out benji, but suddenly it has to be brought forward - so what is the financial plan looking like now? I'll wait until there is clarity from the company on the strategy for booting up the Transatlantic market. Where is the guarantee all routes will be open? Is the resumption of travel left at state level or federal level? When will Astra be OK'd. You see, one angle here is a great positive spin headline that then can not be put into practise because of red tape, both US red tape, UK and'or EU.
I hope it is smooth sailing because I can't wait to get back to LA and Vegas, but there have been a few false dawns to date.

If the RI had been a discussion derived from the Sun or Motley Fol, I wouldn't have been worried and probably hold some. But experience makes me risk averse and the financing lan is still in the air. I'll wait. The game of gambling for a maximum spread tends to go wrong more often than right. The sp I invest at is irrelevant, the key is to make a profit when selling and banking real actual money. Too many see paper profit, spend it on the credit card and then find the paper profit suddenly disappears. I do hope the casino players here don't get dumped on, but it happens so frequently, especially when a share catapults. Just a fact of how companies work in the equity market.

Hardley deramping, just being cautious based real world experience. Never fall in love with a share. I note all of you bouncing off the walls on your sugar rush only have paper profits. That is not cash in the bank!

The transatlantic airlines will suddenly need cash to ready the fleet ahead of any previous estimated schedule. Where's it coming from? keep the 360

I just hope there is no sudden dilution in a ii fund raise or debt for equity. All we know is no 'emergency' tapping of funds. I am turned off by all the smoke and daggers stuff, and it turns out 3 brokers were independently saying IAG needed an RI. The Biden announcement is a suprise much earlier than expected, Astra is not on the approved list so it is not all sorted yet. Action re financing planned a few months forward may now be brought forward, or not. Those claiming this is now a one way ticket to infinite riches need to reel it in a bit. I have been around many many many ramped shares and they never play out as promised. All too often, people get burnt. Just look at the sequence of unexpected events and the effect on the sp over just the last 6 months. To good to be true for me.

bengi, you are aware RR is a lot more than just jet engines. The nuclear power side is very hot too [lol]. Did RR go up in value as the iis got moe and more info on the Aussie sub deal? I have RRa difficult one to determine wrt to airline sp prospects. 360.

Madam, since March the travel sector and airlines have been craped on from great heights and sabotaged without mercy. Revenue has been slashed, costs have bled the coffers and allies have just shrugged their shoukders. Anything can happen in resolving the industry going forward. Who knows what the shares will be called in the future.

Well I have briefly scanned tonight's posts and picked up from one long one why didn't I buy IAG today. I'm sure I mentioned why earlier, I am first waiting to receive my new shares in easy j, the plan is to switch all in one go, and I also posted that I am waiting to hear what the conclusions of the discussion with the banks is. A lot of you are running around the playground waving your willies in celebration. All ganged together in the hood. Now magically the world works for you on your terms. WOW. A long awaited change of policy is now proposed, to begin at least 6 weeks away. Snd suddenly everything is fixed? I fear some of you are in for a significant knock back soon. 11% gain today, but from how low? No I won't be buying IAG for a few weeks, there are a few cobwebs to clear out first. Celebrate your paper gains. But it doesn't suddenly mean you now rule the human race or won the cup. There isno competition here. All sorts of shi.t can happen.

IAGLong, yes ramp a little, but what is missing was the peak season travel, the spring season travel, the winter season travel, and so on. All that while burning fixed cost money. Don't get carried away!

If BA is going to match Norwegian prices, maybe - but there is a Norwegian MKII to deal with, I doubt there will be much if any pick up for BA at the economy end. We await the details, and clearing of the iar of 'that-which-can-not-be -named'. I think the switcheroo moment will be when IAG announce they are having to double, tripple, capacity over and above expectations. Let's just hope there are no spanners in the works are sabotage attempts from the grumpy old bugger brigade in Downing St and cop. There are are a lot of obstacles and shifting sands. Don't get carried away!

Astra over 5.5% now, it was a good indicator after all.

Need a new indicator now. After I get all the new Easy shares, I will need to wait for any IAG RNS about financing change or not is out of the way. Can't risk jumping straight into some sort of dilution with a switcheroo, that would not be good!!!! Might be three four weeks yet. SSP remains a good share for indicators, although a bit mystical.

I need a business that will have to ramp up sales when the real opening up begins BECAUSE there really are lots and lots of bums on expensive seats. Now, who does the BA catering and are they listed????

"negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of the flight"

Will take some effort timing a sober zone for day three in Vegas, bearing mind you don't know what day it is half the time in the windowless casinos., lol...

Vegas baby!
