"Profit taking" -? No idea what that is. Perhaps someone could explain it to me.

Just been looking at a comparison chart between IAG and Rolls Royce for the last 6 - 12 months. Hysterical .Now where did I leave that loaded rifle?

to all iag/ezj holders happy new year!

ha ha ******* ha.

New Year..... same old story.

Quiet here today. Anyway, thanks for the compliment Skindle. Next year is a big one, as we all hope for a surge in the share price, and I strive for a hat-trick of POTY awards.

In the interim, I am on my regular pilgrimage to my spiritual home of East Sussex. Staying quite close to Beachy Head, so if the share price heads south, there's always that option. Hopefully it won't come to that. If anyone lives in that part of the world (lucky you) I will be found propping up the bar in "The Tiger" in East Dean, or "The George" in Alfriston for most of next week. It would be nice to put a face to some of the names here. Fordm - you can fly in - Gatwick is less than an hour away.

Anyway, should that not happen, I wish you all a merry Xmas, and a happy and prosperous new year. Which unfortunately means probably being invested somewhere else. Oh well.

"600 areas to improve". Tell me about it - I worked with 599 of them.

Back over £1.60! Woo-hoo! I'm rich, etc.etc....

Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

Back below £1.60-again! I'm skint! Stone cold broke I tell you etc. etc....

£1.60......again! I'm rich, rich beyond my wildest dreams, etc. etc.

£1.60 again. Which means I am almost rich.....again. Which means I (almost) need to order more Dom Perignon. And some young ladies from Latvia.

Or maybe I (almost) need some counselling.

You can put that on my headstone. He "almost" had a great life. When IAG "almost" hit £7.00. He "almost" won the lottery, and "almost" married the women he loved.

"Almost". Should be next in the dictionary to "if", "but", and "maybe".

Anyway. apologies for rant. I am almost sorry.

I only need the price here to reach £24,50, and I can retire. Sorted.

Yes - a little early for me, but I was eager to share my back-of-a-cigarette-pack calculations with the world. Anyway, just in case that scenario should materialise, I have popped a bottle of Dom Perignon in the fridge for celebratory purposes. Or commiseration should the second scenario materialise. In all likelihood, it will be neither of those, we'll probably still be stuck around 160. Time(as with pretty much everything) will tell.

Price here when markets closed on Dec30 2022 was 123.8. By Jan31 it was 168.8 (having been even higher a few days previously). So that's 45 pence, or 36.3%, in just one month. Were that to happen again (from current price), that would translate to 215.8.

Pure conjecture (obvs) but wouldn't that be a nice start to the year? And it just shows what CAN happen. Then again, perhaps there will be another pandemic, and the price will slump to 26p. Ha ha ha...

Such is investing in shares, I guess.

"This will rocket at some point".

Quite possibly, but I have been waiting over 3 years now, so am becoming somewhat impatient. At some point the earth will no doubt explode into a trillion, trillion pieces, and cease to exist. Which will happen first?

Fordm - no, fortunately my largesse only extended to myself and the young lady behind the bar.

skindle - "as clueless as the British government". I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there. When it comes to being clueless/incompetent, this administration is in a league of its own.

And back down....again.

Back over £1.60-I'm rich, rich I tell you ! (again).

Barmaid - a pint of chilled Dom Perignon for me, and one for yourself pet. Cheers.

Enjoying the healthy rise today, but it still only gets us back to where we were prior to the update on Oct 12. The drop after that was quite bizarre, so it's nice that that has now been rectified, but I still see a lot of upside here. Share price hit over £5 as recently as July, and (barring unforeseen circumstances) I can see that being easily passed fairly soon, and don't think £6 is unrealistic at some point next year.

I'm a long term IAG holder (I know, I know!), but thankfully sold some of those to come in here, which was definitely one of my better decisions. Thinking of selling more of those to top up here, but we'll see.

Hope that's not the kiss of death.

2023 year to date :

IAG - up 17%

Rolls Royce - up 162%

FFS (again).

Blimey - EZJ is up and down like a ****s knickers this morning. Potentially rich pickings for savvy day traders. Unfortunately, I have mislaid my crystal ball (again). Plus which, I am skint (again) - having blown my last few meagre pennies on a rather snazzy Cotswold-style new sports jacket/blazer (pure new wool, obvs). Hence I now look a million dollars, but in reality am worth some $990,000 less than that. Still - one must try to maintain certain standards, and appearance is important. Or as someone once said to me - "perception is reality".

As far as IAG goes, I can't believe that we are struggling to not slip back into the 140's. FFS.
