fordm - would give you my personal backstory. but wouldn't want to reduce to tears, especially on a Saturday evening.

Danphonic - please stay on point. No idea what your personal situation/history has to do with the IAG share price. This board is purely for discussion abut IAG price.

Oh dear. Looks like they will be one short on the headcount in the asylum tonight.

Wouldn't bother with Cape Town - it's only 35 degrees today!
Let us know about T5.

You don't consider that the response to Coronavirus, and the way we exit restrictions brought about by the Omicron fiasco, to be relevant to IAG and it's share price?

BB - thanks for the link. That piece pretty much sums up my position on this epic debacle.

Woody - very true. They make your average second hand car salesperson look like a saint.

Danphonic - there's your 165. Ask and you shall receive!

BB - UKOG brings back bad memories for me - had quite a few going back about 5 years, but failed to sell when they shot up to about 8 pence (Broadford Bridge?) , and ended up losing out badly - my fault, got in too deep. I've done what you have done, with a small flutter on another AIM share, but only ever with a small amount of money I can comfortably write off if need be - I definitely learned a lesson about AIM shares there. That said, thought I was playing it safe by investing in a strong , reliable company with decent dividends by buying IAG, only for a global pandemic to bring the airline industry to a halt!
Anyway, good luck there - at the current price it's probably a reasonable punt.

I won't pretend that these shares don't make me twitchy. I lost a pile on IAG when the pandemic first started - hoping to get some of it back now. Holding what for me is a decent chunk (not currently day trading) - see more upside than down at the moment, but time will tell (duh!)

Danphonic - fair enough. I tend to view them like I would a Tripadvisor review for a pub or hotel: if there are 1 or 2 bad reviews among plenty of good ones, I go with the consensus - and vice versa.

Only one 'O' and one 'S' in loser.
Two 'O's' in m***n.

Can't see what your last post has to do with IAG!

Several brokers still have ratings of £2 plus. This is why I tend to view them with a degree of scepticism - they can vary wildly, and it's easy to only see what it suits you to see.

I gave up giving much credence to broker ratings a while ago.

LOL fordm. Here's a thought -
I can write what I want ( apart from gratuitous abuse and offensive language), and others can decide whether they want to read it or ignore it. If they read it, they can agree or disagree with it, and respond if they want to.

What do you think? Could this ever catch on? Probably not.

Interesting. How does that fit in with the mask /lockdown / social distancing rules. If it's true, should we not discard all rules, and go back to mixing as usual ? Just a thought.

Wobbles - you said earlier that you can see a day of 5 - 10% rise at end of Feb/ March. Can you let me know the exact date, please.
Many thanks / Bobbins.

BB - agree that the obsession with infection rates is ludicrous, and needs to stop - yesterday.
Need to take issue with you on your response to Biker though. Assuming he was using a revolver for the hypothetical game of Russian roulette, if he had 3 bullets in it, that would give a mortality rate of 50% (assuming a bullet through the temple will kill you). Unless he is over 80, which seems unlikely from his post, his chances of dying from Covid are less than 0.1%.
Just saying.

Don't you mean " need some Suga"?
