Yes as unfortunate as it may be, it will be a boost for IAG/BA. Virgin unfortunately doesn't have the protection of being a national flag carrier as such..albeit it even being limited protection to a degree. May be a time that BA should avail the opportunity and be ready incase they, (virgin), do go under!

Lol, what a load of tosh, be very lucky this ends up little or nowhere, quite laughable really under current business climate. Maybe better off lodging a claim 5/6 years down the road. What a joke. "Whittled down to £200", I say more like whittled down to 100 air miles, if that lol.

Clearly you can see how the market views it.. up +3%

Looks as if another order was filled today..

Yes, but seems to be working now

...at 6pm, looks as if Institutional Investor has staked a large claim at over ask, AND we have a new chairman! This could be the reason we've been trading sideways for last few days when all other tier 1 stocks have been doing well.

Looks good for the morning!

Depends on when your expecting a good return... the current sp is great for medium term and excellent for long term. Short term is good, depending on your buy-in timing. 145p, yesterday morning was a great op to buy in at the bottom and I took advantage.. today seems to be trading sideways around 153p area. FTSE is also down circa 25/26 points, (currently) on yesterdays close... how it fairs as the days progresses we shall see.

Good luck!

Linkop, to assume this won't return to 160-170 area as we move through the lock-down period would be a crazy assumption. I'm topping up at these lows with borrowed cash, i'm that confident!

Absolutely not worried here..

Mate you would have to be crazy for keeping the short open yesterday, especially as the sp hit 159, not sure that's good investment policy, but each to his own. Personally I reckon you closed it yesterday, but to save face had to come on and goad a lil lol...

This will return to yesterdays evenings sp today... most tier 1 stocks are down due to events that unfolded on Capitol Hill yesterday....and there's absolutely no-way you would have known that was coming.. unless you masterminded it, did you? LOL... Are you Trump? (Not sure using 'Mastermind' and 'Trump' in the same sentence is a wise choice on anyones part, lol)

Has anyone seen the new "Ryanair" advert lol... bound to cause controversy, but does show what I mean by a preparedness of airlines for getting things off the ground, (pun intended), as vaccines get more distributions.

May be controversial advertising, but does bode well for the airline industry as it shows planning ahead of the Lock-down measures for travel industry!

TBH, we should've seen a rise recovery yesterday as did other tier 1 stocks, but is what it is..

I have no qualms here.. I predicted 155-160 by week end, so far it's beating that expectation, and hopefully way before lock-down eases, we'll see a better return to over 170-180 as a move to "wheels up" returns!

PMSL.. Hope you managed to short Oracle, nothing would make me happier to see a shorter go down in flames.

Yep... agree with you both, my only gripe is that this tier 5 lock-down should've been bought in when all this tier 1,2,3,4 crap started.. When vaccinations started everyone in tier 5 lock-down regardless of area...all of U.K basically, and we would've been close to the end now... It is what it is I guess, no point crying about could've/should've... Just need to get on with it basically!

Health services will cope better and vaccinations will be given a priority!

IF IAG announce a plan to resume flights in the closing weeks of this lock-down, watch IAG sp to hit new highs. Hence the reason for this solid lock-down in a bid to let the vaccine distribution and into as many arms as possible. There is now a solid goal in sight for companies in the travel and other sectors to aim for re-opening/re-starting their services.

...at £1.50 area until fomo kicks in! It really is a case of when investors believe now that this has settled and want back in before any other investors, problem is as investors buy in sp rises and others begin to worry they're missing the bottom and will have to buy in higher.

We could see 155p-160p before week ends imo. GUARANTEED, this will move higher closing in on last few weeks of the lock-down. Watch!

Exactly Linkop... spot on

Lol, you'd be a fool to stay invested and be predicting a £1.20 - £1.30 scenario, therefore I don't believe you're invested.. no-one down plays an investment, it's a pointless endeavor and markets are really not your understanding.

@Sunsurfer, I believe what you say as you've made your position clear and looking to buy back in.. good and safer play tbh. I personally think we'll be trading sideways here for a bit as most will be playing it safe for a bit... but can also see fomo and people staking now rather than risking a higher sp. The time to take advantage was this morning at 145p...

smash and grab at 145p lovely! Thanks pannickers!

Have had to borrow money from missus account to take advantage today lol... she's not happy!

Of course the majority is priced in, that's the whole point of market drop across the board today. What is to be remembered the first, (March) lock-down was a shock to the market system and hence the majority of companies fell to a smaller fraction of their market cap... No-one understood this new disease, no-one knew if and when a cure was coming, the death rate superseded all expectations on a GLOBAL scale, global healthcare services were unprepared for what was to come/coming!

Now we know the virus, we have a cure that's in circulation, new variants are tackled with on an ad-hoc basis by tweaking original vaccines SHOULD it even be required!

The whole aim of this lockdown is to allow the vaccination to be distributed as quick as possible by NHS and other health services without having to deal with a spreading of the original or new variant.

When we emerge from this lockdown in Feb, it will be much cleaner and easier to plan a restart to the economic engine with most vaccinated and able to return to schools and work. In-turn this means aircraft resuming to flying as holidays that are and will be booked ensue.

Any further drop tomorrow will be just panicking, and really not needed but will be taken advantage of, question is when will investors start moving back in before the 6 weeks are over, it'll be way before the end of lock-down that's for sure..just watch!

Well I believe the further lockdown scare measures are now priced in well and truly.. the bottom has been reached, shame I've not not got more funds to take further advantage. This will retrace upwards back to 1.60 slowly
