With the possible exception of UBS, the recent target prices by the "experts" have been shown up for what they are - clueless guesses, with no more validity than anybody on this board.

The phrase "money for nothing" springs to mind. I have been sceptical for a long time, but going forward I will be paying them no attention (not just here - anywhere). I may as well ask for my cats' opinion.

Wizz bottomed out at 832 on March 31 - so those smart or lucky enough to purchase at, or near, the bottom, are now up fifty(per) cent in just 12 weeks. As has been said here many times before, when she moves, she really moves. With oil dropping like a stone, hopefully plenty more to come.

I'm just relieved to have reclaimed almost all of my (paper) losses - sometimes a small loss can feel like a big win, when you have recovered from a ghastly position. Hopefully soon turn that small loss into a glorious victory before too long.

Feeling very relieved, so I am going to party like it's my birthday, and drink bacardi...

Stille - hopefully he will be kept busy fixing the Lincoln Memorial Pool. Every toddler needs a distraction.

PS - get yourself down to your 'trading rock' sharpish, before some outsider throws their towel on it. Don't forget the factor50 - scorchio!

....Captain. You have only returned from sabbatical about 36 hours ago, since when the price here has risen by about 50p. Good job!

18 in one day! Is that a record?

Nice to hear from you. Like many others here, I may not always agree with you, but I value your contribution.

As for your question "what isn't there to be optimistic about? Questions like this are right in my "glass half empty" category.

How about (in no particular order) Trump/ Netanyahu/oil prices/political instability/economic uncertainty/competition/wars (ongoing, and new) black swan events - we seem to get those on a disconcertingly regular basis lately - alien invasion.... Should I keep going?

It's like asking anybody, what reason is there not to be optimistic? It's called life.

Hi Liam - I see you are new to this board, so I would like to welcome you.

Unfortunately, I can't, so go f**k yourself.

Oil price -ouch!

Politician (no names) in basement, Have you seen "Pulp Fiction"? Ouch!

Looks like Starmer has appropriated the title of one of the greatest pop songs of the last 50 years. I don't care either way, but it means more political upheaval when the country can least afford it. Could be 7 PM's in just over 10 years. And they wonder why nothing gets done, and people like me have given up on the system. Anyway, I only mention it because I wonder if it will have an impact on the market in general, and by default, the price here.

I love politicians - that's why i keep one in my basement.

Well that didn't last long, did it? Welcome to the future. Donny and Ben's excellent adventure continues to reap rewards. All of them negative.

Once Donald has either gone from office, or passed away, the truth will out. Right now, people either pacify him, and keep their mouths shut, to remain in their lucrative jobs, or avoid being threatened with spurious legal cases, or even physical violence. Once that threat is removed, the emperor with no clothes will be revealed for what he is - the greatest grifter in history. If I'm wrong, I will happily apologise and retract (I'm not). I only hope the people wearing MAGA caps (and probably matching ladies panties) will reciprocate (they won't).

TDS - Trump Derangement Syndrome.

TDS - Truth Denial Syndrome.

You decide.

"Trust the man, trust the process".

LOL

I rest my case.

RedBaron - Do you drive a DeLorean?

I am no longer invested here, but like to pop in from time to time, just to see what's going on. Here's a quote from IAG Longterm on May 20th, 2023 -"Sundezena jinxed it again".

That is over 3 years ago, yet when I pop back in now, you 2 are still swapping insults, like children in the playground. THREE YEARS. Do you have any idea how pathetic and childish you both are?

FFS - grow up - both of you. Beyond pathetic.

Thanks Stan, and my apologies - I meant no offence. At least I have learned something today - your erudite contribution contained several words I had never even heard of, but have now added to my vocabulary.

Fordm - I am disappointed in you. I have raised this topic before, but it looks like I will have to go through it one more time. Orangutans are gentle, peace-loving, intelligent creatures, who(as far as I am aware) have never started a war, and these spurious analogies to the thing in The White House are deeply offensive to myself, and the whole orangutan community. Perhaps 'dung beetle' would be more apposite (they spend their whole lives neck deep in you- know-what), or even 'baboon' - very aggressive, and not to be trusted; give them half a chance and they will rip your face off just for the hell of it.

Other suggestions welcome.

Fordm - shame on you, - you have just dragged me away from "Midsomer Murders". It was that or the football, so...

Separately, and completely unrelated to Wizz, if you are still living in Switzerland, did you vote in this population referendum? What do you make of it? Always value your input, unless it's about Kylie, in which case - HANDS OFF.

And you have just proved my point 100%..

Osaka - just feel the need to point out that I am not a troll (I'm quite heavily invested here, by my standards) and my sleeping arrangements are not your concern. My little rant the other night was in response to your re-posting of an homage to Trump which I found offensive. I also feel obliged to point out that my post got a rather large number of "likes". Just saying, although I do apologise for the bad language.I have no desire to get into a tit-for-tat exchange of insults, so I'm happy to leave it there, and suggest we both move on.

I would just like to say that some people are very quick to say "keep the discussion about EZJ". It's quite difficult to do that without bringing up Trump, who is the primary reason for the recent precipitous fall in the price here. You may as well say don't talk about oil prices, or interest rates etc. etc. Unfortunately, everything Trump says or does can have a material impact here.

Anyway, as far as the price here goes over the next few weeks, while it would be nice to get a chunky, concrete offer, even if that doesn't happen, I can't see the price slipping back to where it was just a couple of weeks ago; there has been a lot of coverage of EZJ since the possibility of an offer came, and if nothing else, most of that has shone a spotlight on the fact that the company, by general consensus, is undervalued, even without a takeover offer. Of course, the M/E situation is hardly fully resolved (although it does seem to be moving in the right direction) but still has the potential to bite airlines in the behind. Look at that - I didn't even mention Trump!

Anyway, like I said, I'm holding here, so good luck to me, and ALL other people invested here - even the deluded MAGA supprters. Sorry - couldn't help myself.

Osaka - trump is possibly the greatest snake-oil salesman of all time, but it seems you are happy to buy his product. According to you,anyone who disagrees with him has TDS. Pathetic. The man is a megalomaniac, a sociopath, a (toxic) narcissist, a bully ... should i keep going? This is not my opinion - look it up - he ticks every box of those descriptions I have just used. If you still support/ defend him (especially after the debacle of the last few months - and you clearly do) you are a cret in. Even people who started out on his side, like Joe Kent, have realised he is a deluded lunatic. You actually think this Iran debacle is part of some well thought out plan? You think he cares about the average Iranian citizen, and has some kind of altruistic motive?

You clearly have a very low IQ, so no offence, but go f**k yourself.
