I'm a pessimist I'm afraid so will expect what always seems to happen to IAG on a great results day - a big drop in the share price

I think its probably more to do with this news

Please excuse the naive question, but if a majority of shareholders decide to sell next week and take their profits, wont that cause the share price to tumble from it's current price regardless of any prospective bidding war?

My 6.2% Lloyds monthly saver matured yesterday. I put £200 in a month with the interest applied at the end of the year's term, thinking i'd get (£2400 x 6.2%) £148.80 interest at the end.

Nope - idiot me didn't realise that the interest is based on monthly accumulation. so i got the equivalent of 3% interest instead.

I should have put a lump sum in a 5% interest account with the likes of Cahoot rather than what i did.

Oh well, you live and learn eh.....

Well i've been away for a few days with no mobile signal and have come back to my Alphawave investment having gone from 70% up to 1% down .

I am kicking myself now for not getting out in the green when I had the chance.

I dont know about you guys but i dont want my capital tied up here for 2 or 3 more years before things get better, so I'm getting out now at a very small loss whilst I still can

Morning all,

I hope the 72 hour strike by the Heathrow refueling staff doesn't have a general negative effect on airline shares if it happens as planned over the May Bank holiday.

Sky News is reporting that any Israeli response to be made on Iran will be delayed until after the Jewish Passover.

So that means not until the end of the month

I wonder if this will have a calming effect on the markets knowing its not going to be immediate?

No I didn't Tom - thanks for the heads up :)

I happily stand myself corrected, its gone up over 4% now .

There is too much uncertainty in the Middle East for any airline share to take off at the moment regardless of how great results are unfortunately.

So out of all the airlines this morning it seems that Tui is the one currently falling off the cliff edge.....

Oh my days a 25% loss in one day! - i was trying to keep the faith here with Alphawave but that faith is being sorely tested

There has been a nice bounce in the share price this morning of 2%, so hopefully this will continue and recoup some of the drop from Friday's trading.

I am torn here.

On the one hand I've waited nearly 2 and a half years for my Easyjet shares to break even so I'd like to give them the chance to actually make me some money.

But on the other I've been burned so badly by my airline investments over the years that the thought of yet another outside catalyst bringing the share price steadily down again fills me with dread.

What are you guys planning to do with your shares if you don't mind me asking please? Hold or Sell?

Morning all.

After yesterday's great day lets hope the short notice strike action in Majorca doesn't bring us back down to earth with a bump today

Hopefully it wont but we all know how reactive this share can be over the slightest bad news....

I hope this doesn't have a negative effect on the share price on Monday

I know IAG only has a 20% stake in Air Europa currently , but it is planning to buy the remainder.

The slightest bad news over the past few months has caused IAG shares to go down in value so if this continues is back down to 150p unfortunately.

Why its taken 6 months for it to be announced that personal data may have been lost when this happened back in October is another conversation entirely!

I've just seen this news story here about job cuts and a plan to spin off Unilever's ice cream arm

https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/marmite-dove-maker-unilever-cut-072241530.html

From those here who have experience of these sort of things, how do you think this will effect the share price going forward?

Does anyone have an idea please of why Alphawave shares have dropped over 10% this past week?

They earlier in the week announced their successful first chiplet-connectivity silicon platform on TSMC’s most advanced 3nm process, so I'm confused as to why this wouldn't at least keep the share price where it was at £1.90?

Other airlines such as Easyjet and Tui look to be enjoying a nice bounce of of IAG's rise today

Well unfortunately we are not off to a good start this week with the share price down by 1.5% so far today

I think we all need to close our eyes and do other trades until mid June when we should know a lot more about what will happen to our shares come delisting time
