"Positive" is a strong way of putting it - "secure" would be a more accurate way of describing the mood on my team. It feels like Future is being quite open about the threat from AI, a lot of our town hall meetings and CEO newsletters revolve around the dent that Google AI overviews has put in the business. But also, the many ways we can mitigate - and the successes that various departments have had in mitigation, particularly editorial teams thay have had success maintaining site traffic. On the surface, AI seems like an existential threat to Future, especially to anyone who still considers it to be a publishing company. I've been with the company long enough to know that Future is proactive and has contingencies, and I feel that this is another storm Future will weather. Just over a decade ago the share price slipped to under £1, before Zilla turned the company around. Kevin Li Ying is a very different CEO, but he was Zilla's CTO who was a key figure in Future's growth.

A lot of generalisations there, speaking from personal feeling rather than anything else. I'm not worried about me or anyone on my team losing their job - rather, I feel that my role is evolving and I might end up working in a very different position, similar to the way Future has evolved away from publishing.

It is mad, even to a novice like me, how much Futr swings from one day to the next on nothing at all.

Kevin's not standing down, certainly not at the next earnings report, anyway.

If the morning spike and afternoon slump continues, I'll be back in the green within a week. This must be kinda how it feels to short a stock.

"It's also been a good week for trading FUTR, with quite predictable patterns. "

Thanks for pointing out this opportunity SG, I've been able to claw back some of my losses over the last few days.

Ha! I was thinking the same. But there can't be any more juice for the shorters to squeeze out of Future at £4.

Can anyone explain why, the day after Futr is kicked out of the ftse250, the sp starts what looks like a proper trend upwards?

Managed to average down to 4.20 for a chunk of change over the last year or so, so I'm quite hopeful at this level.

I'm very much a noob investor, i've been going off the impressions I get from people on this forum and the positive mood I get from the company (I've worked for Future for 20 years now).
