Jed my thoughts and suggestions have been clear since last year (early)
I said then look for opportunities to exit this dog.
I have repeatedly said that Carolyn McCall should go. Even if some claim "what can she do - it's the economy" the fact is that no-one trusts her and optics that drive sentiment as more important for the share price than any fundamentals which you could wait for years to come good. It is simple she needs to go and get someone in that may appear to breathe fresh air and kitchen sink the whole operation.
Finally be under no illusion with the current leadership any minuscule possibility of a bid will result in the lame dame stopping the dividend and borrowing left right and center to defend ITV from being taken over. She will do the bidding of someone else and will defend it with your money and equity. Not a cat's chance in hell no matter how low the price may go.
Jesus another attempt at a bid talk. Grow up and accept it - ITV with its current leadership is a no go. It is just a shorting fund's dream come true. For years people defend the woke dame, saying ITV fair value this and that. Bid approached nothing absolutely sod all.
Grow up and accept it
And in my haste I forgot the analysis link

Here’s the II analysis. Don’t get too excited ITV is NOT on the list. As long as the utterly incompetent lame dame Carolyn McCall has the reigns it will just not happen. She has lost all credibility and she’s like an administrator now more worried about what next scandal is going to surface or whether she’s got enough diversity inclusivity sustainability you know all the things that do not generate profit
You bought on the back of a program? Let me give you a clue. ITV could produce hit after hit it makes sod all difference. What makes a difference still is advertising and that is in the doldrums. Everyone in the city is looking at advertising numbers and while everyone is affected by the low numbers the ITV day to day programming is so dire no one is watching.
Meanwhile the incompetent Carolyn McCall and her equally incompetent board are allowed to continue on a path which seems pretty apathetic. How long until she is removed? Or is ITV like the public sector? Rewarding incompetence and just letting people choose to retire?
Once again. Some people never learn. There are bigger and better calculators out there and you don't even feature in the calculations unless they want to lure you in to "invest". Some people never learn.
Meanwhile US Indices look like topping perhaps 2nd week in January and China have printed more Yuan. FXI looks like breaking out BIDU will be the communist regime preferred censored ChatGPT with a billion plus market. But some stubborn donkeys want to keep on calculating their way out of the impossible
Zzzzz the directors are waiting for someone to buy them out. Not even a fake Santa Rally can delivery Equity Developments fair valuation that's been touted for years
There were no sellers at these prices you imbecile. Shorting was done at much higher prices. Everyone spouting the same nonsense, FFS
Publican has been warning you for weeks you get one day a rise and all of a sudden you forget of why you've been here all these weeks. Mugs
Patiently awaiting for the next short opportunity on this one. Let the dreamers have their Santa rally and a bit of euphoria. 3rd party related transactions the death knell of AIM cos.
Please buy and buy big. This is going to moon ha ha
I was short from 130+ down to 70p something. Look at my history. I was warning big time when everyone was riding the optimism wave. I was right.
I made my money out of these crooks. New ones installed. I would look for exit points. 3rd party related transactions is how it starts. Look how this plays out over the next year. There will be euphoria over the plan that seems to save the company you and other mugs will buy into it and then slowly and steadily smack. Be ready to get out
At 15% interest. Here is the script as I see it.
Some form of funding will be secured with some equity raising and a new placement of shares. Most here underwater and new mugs (sorry "investors") will participate. Then a flurry of further 3rd party related transactions will ensue (this is another way for big boys to extract money). Seen this happen before.
Take advantage I would say to exit with a bit of funds while you can on any further positive news.
Jesus
you must be a first rate mug
Nothing until Carolyn gets out
Jesus wept
still pontificating about HZM! Meanwhile SP500 was having a 6-week rally and even one of the most suspect / corruption ridden co PFC is rising. Not to mention the Santa Rally that normal shares are exhibiting. Even my favourite mining fund BRWM is breaking out partly due to a weak dollar.
Wasted efforts...
The amount of energy expended here to speculate what will happen here when the odds that you succeed buying something like the SPX or Russel at key levels and just letting that do the work. You think that big money that has suffered losses is going to let you pick up even scraps from the table. No way.
Figure out where to buy US indices and small caps there where there seems to be tons of liquidity flowing in the markets as Mr Biden and Yellen want to get re-elected for another term.
Honestly you are wasting your time here out of pure stubbornness.
Straw if that is the case traders would be piling in to buy now. I don't think it's as simple
Bebeto you will not be able to invest - I am 90% certain of that
And just to explain why it would have been known for a week. You think Jeremy Martin and Simon Retter would have walked away with nothing? They knew there had to be a vote to oust them so I am certain they used that to their leverage for a negotiated exit....Will we know ever?
