I wish it had hit 25p as that would have been a major top up.

If it drops to 40p be more buying for me.

If we get a Santa rally this year could see this hit 12 quid before year end.

He still owns 41,000,000.

Maybe wants some xtra Xmas money.

I’m an 80s child too and agree with your observations over the years.

Also hold Jet2 along with IAG and agree the former is well positioned as it can cater for all budgets. Great customer service too.

Our target market largely couldn’t give a monkeys about inflation and probably have no idea what the interest rate is on mortgages. BOO will survive to see better days.

To point out I am not a ramper or a de-ramper. When this was £4 plus and people were predicting £6, £8 and a tenner a share I was trying to bring balance to the euphoria by looking at reasons why it would not rise meteorically forever.

The basic fundamental reason why I wasn't not looking to buy in at that point was it was priced in for perfection and when that is the case there are more reasons for things to go wrong than right.

Currently, I believe many stocks are priced for the end of the world. But are things as bad as they are? Or as bad some people thing they will get? If things don't get as bad as predicted how much free cash with have households have again.

The news always brings out the extreme cases to help sell the fear. But I look around me and many if not most people have energy bills locked in, mortgages locked in and are still spending money and living as they were 12 months ago.

We are gaining strength against the $ which will help. Already I am seeing fuel resume its drop in prices. As low as £1.53 the other week. Diesel which is more crucial back down to £1.82. A mild winter so far, which won't help with winter clothing sales but will on the consumer.

The money that people are getting kicked back for a lot of people is just spare money. We didn't need it and are just spending it on whatever, going back into the economy.

Whatever happens to the overall market, I can't see BOO going against the grain. If sentiment and the markets bounce, I can't see BOO being left behind. It may not get to £4 in a month, but it will be higher than 40p.

There are people on this board who are predicting doom and the end of the world for retail but super bullish on travel stocks. I can't see why? As the they are both desirables and if anything, retail such as clothing is more or a requirement than travel.

Fantastic figures. Tiny dividend, which is not why I’m invested but symbolic non the less.

Only negative is potential pressure on future margins but that’s stating the obvious.

Short term I see challanges in all 3. Short term being the next 6 months. After that things could get worse or a whole lot better.

I am invested in travel stocks too, and although demand has bounced back as predicted I can't say it is immune to shocks if we don't see a pivot with inflation and interest rates. After all, for most it's a luxury and pent-up demand will catch up with itself. If we see anything other than continuing monster demand into 2024 for holidays and business travel, I expect to be able to top in my travel stocks and cheaper prices than now.

Do you have a bearish sentiment with

1) Boo.
2) Retail in general.
3) UK stocks in general due to cost-of-living squeeze.

As I read the Sunday Times I’m embarrassed.

The editor should have told the journalist that he had wasted a month to find nothing out of the ordinary.

Hereshopin

That’s the gist. More suited to the Guardian.

Another case of everyone wants sausages but no one wants to know what’s in it or how it’s made.

I’ve worked in factories before. They are hard work and not a long term life choice but I was glad of the work at the time.

I read the article. Well till I got bored as it was in my view a non story.

Basically described elements of many jobs I’ve had. If you work in a call centre as I have in the past every minute is scrutinised be it toilet breaks, time between calls or time keeping a customer on hold.

Anyone who has worked in a sales environment knows the pressure on targets.

I am happy buying on days such as this.

Retail has taken a battering. And it wouldnt surprise me if we see further short term falls. I am buying whilst the market is priced for the end of the world. There will be a pivot (Buzz word of the last few weeks) and when it comes change/sentiment will propel. I kept saying spring of next year before I see things changing for the better.

When this was around the £4 I kept saying beware, its priced for perfection in a perfect world. We are now pricing in for the end of the world. Dont let a good crisis fo go to waste.

I am topping up sub 40.

You must be blind or one of the countries great moaners.

Along with everything mentioned we export our culture. Everywhere I have been since a child people have always wanted to visit London. We export ideas, be it dross like celebrity jungle or Who wants to be a millionaire.

Our Military is world renowned that why we have so many foreign officers train at Sandhurst. Along with the Americans we have the finest intelligence services in the World.

And dont get me started on Hob Nobs and the great British Pint.

I wasnt expecting to be in a position to make any money till next spring. Though I am not selling anything just yet.

Shows how the stock market can surprise.

If those that were shorting in the 30s had bought, they would have done nicely. Daft shorting in the 30s and even 40s for hoping it will go down a few Pee.

Making Hay.

I was in Da Nang last month.

Full flights but hotel and beaches were quiet.

If Europe holds its gains along with the US next week could be interesting.

Waiting for 20p is like waiting for the end of the world.

Good job we sell clothes in the US.

Hi Jongle

Are you still on the sidelines when it comes to stocks in general? As in still think the bottom is yet to happen. Anything you have your eye on with a desired entry point.

Serious question.
