Have exactly the same question. None the wiser by either BA.'s results or the previous posters

If this dog pays a divi then there must be something wrong - I don't expect nor do I want a divi. I would prefer Mccall out, a bid from a white knight that can asset strip it and then maybe we can realise some value

Damn - I missed the 125 hard buy target I had not a fraction of a penny more for this dog :)

Yearlies have been postponed to 04-March - RNS out on 19th Feb

Not before it gets to 125p

There is a gap and it must be filled. Just my opinion.

If you compare Lloyds profits to same as last year pre-covid then yes they have fallen. However they have exceeded market expectations. This is why they have had a modest rise

did you buy?

Usually the kiss of death for any share

125

This has gapped up from approximately 110 with no news apart from the general lifting of restrictions. It's been going up and down like a yoyo. I don't trust todays rise. I believe it will close at 110 or thereabouts again.

Yet this dog keeps on falling - wake me up at 11.50 I may top-up

wondering exactly the same - full results out on 03/03 - has anything leaked?

Nige I am afraid you are clutching at straws. The Fool's prediction and analysis is as robust as Tom's inane ramblings

I suppose you are right FP - A captain even if bad should be there to try and salvage a ship already in distress.

There is tons of analysis on this board and some of it very astute. But my main point is this. No-one is addressing the issue of the, in my view, incompetency of Emma Walmsley. For me having watched her in her recent video about the results she seems to have been appointed purely on the basis (as someone on another board said) she has a permanent smile. Clearly it is a trait developed in her old days as a marketing executive.

Sometimes the only thing that is needed is a clear change at the top and some proper communication of GSKs forward plan and achievements to date.

Post divi blues - sorry

which if true, only goes to confirm my opinion that the customer cares about price. Most people will not use the engineers they have a contract for peace of mind. If they leave because they are unhappy about the quality of engineer then let another mug of a company deal with them and see at what cost. This is a volume business and it needs to shift product/service at big numbers.
When I hear about the quality of engineers of British Gas ( which I have for years) I laugh. If you want quality then go to a provider with high margins that you are willing to pay for. British Gas cannot be in the volume business and also have good quality engineers. There seems to be a delusion that because it has British in its name, somehow it is an institution. It isn't much like BA is not.

called off their pointless strike? Are they willing to realistically negotiate? Can we move on from their ransom so we can all including the engineers and their share options to benefit?

Does anyone know if GSK will be paying their fine to VEC and when?
