Here is Pogo with his consistently incorrect analysis for a year now. You still haven's answered me King of Naive investments. If you have 400K+ ITV shares as you claim. Are all your eggs in one basket, or do you have a sensible allocation in a diversified portfolio which by my reckoning should be around 4M. If the former then you are a numpty and deserve all the criticism here if the latter then well done however I doubt it very much.

We need a cleanse. I shorted again today early doors and it would not bother me if I lost money on it, after all I still have shares from 63p. But if the current yields stay as elevated (Higher than they were with "pork markets" Truss) and confidence in Rachel from accounts and Starmer the tool being so low then ITV will dump. And that should be the last straw for McUseless McMilking it face.

Southern Europe - Where the food is good - the governments do not want to tax the air you breathe - healthcare is cheaper than rip off Britain and people still smile at you in the mornings. I have business interests in the UK which I managed from the comfort of my European abode. Anyone can do it. Britain is good only if you are an educated individual working in the service sector willing to work hard , save your money and get the F out before you become miserable

Putting aside a bid for ITV only other thing that can save the UK is a takeover by US.

Greenland , Panama, Canada all the leftie - china supporting - wokerati one by one will be driven underground where they belong. McCall out

I wish Musk came out saying something about McCall lol - She's far too small a fry for him - just an annoying turd that could be stuck on his shoe. But the tide is turning. The anti woke crowd are getting stronger and soon she will be out.

I am glad finally you are all waking up to Mcuseless McCall and the fact that the UK economy is the $hithouse it is. Been saying it for months. Anyway hope one day when this dog really hits rock bottom McCall will resign in shame. There is a 10% uplift just from that. Even the old codgers of this board and other numpties will be happy getting their proverbial 10 cents on the dollar.

Now please give us a penny or two rise so I can short this dog

My God - is your search for investments limited to old economy dogs run by establishment stooges showing chronic underperformance? In this day and age it is all about alpha and ITV is and has been a pile of excrement for years. I literally last week bought some Micron technology and it is flying. When will you people realise that you cannot just generate the returns here. UK plc is dead and all you have to hope for is McCall resigning and/or someone bidding for this to get it out of its miserable fate. Still cannot believe that people here look at UK

Waiting for next week to find a spot to short with renewed vigour

Indeed and the naive here think that all these businesses affected by the tax raid Labour has brought on will magically find money to advertise when we all know that given a choice between advertising budgets and paying NI, ad budgets get curtailed. Couple that with an establishment stooge at the helm not doing anything radical these shares will dump

Pogo I was so scared about your systematic buyer I closed half my short for a nice profit to enjoy during the weekend.

2 pounds minimum - What a monumental mug - U start 2025 as you finished 2024

It's like kids in school all getting a medal. Mediocrity is abound. UK

Pogo has not been a good analyst this year - He put all his eggs in one basket and SANTA does not like that foolish behaviour

Pogo no matter how hard you look under the Christmas tree there ain't any bid there - Go back to managing your 4M portfolio ha ha

Read the posts all of them Maxus - There aint no bid in my view. It is the usual trash talk to increase clicks and maybe entice a few mug punters

Meteoric rise today - Christmas rally is on. Hold on to your remote controls

Christmas is over so I can be my usual self again. Nothing but clickbait from DM as it is a slow news day and they know there are plenty of mugs that read this as they are desperate to exit. If it gives us a 2p uplift or even 3 I know what I'll be doing with this dog.

A sojourn from wifi or just simply disappearing up its own 4nus lol

Well Pogo has disappeared. After my post ousting him as a fraud he is probably pretending he is far too rich to be bothered posting on here. As a reminder here are my assumption based on Pogo saying he holds 400K plus shares in ITV.

Here comes the fantasist Pogo. As soon as the rumour mill starts up again.

He claims he has, by his own numbers, invested around 285000 pounds in ITV. I presume he is not one of those AIM market degenerates that go all in the next 10 bagger and come out with just their pants for decency purposes.

So I will assume he is a sensible lad that really believes in ITV (i.e. I will entertain the fool for a minute or two).

A sensible investor when he really believes in a stock's prospects will rarely go above 7% of his/her portfolio in a single name. Depending on their aggressiveness they may get up to 75%-80% stocks and then some bonds or cash but more than 7% is reckless.

So assuming the above I calculate that our fantasist friend here has approximately 4 million (4,000,000) and some change in his portfolio.

If he hasn't then he is more of an imbecile than I think he is.

So Pogo, may I ask what on earth is it that brought you to these forums as it seems that if you are managing a portfolio of 4M you probably couldn't care less about an LSE board full of small time amateur hour investors.

But I suspect you are just a fantasist or a comedian perhaps looking for a chuckle. The alternative that you are a degenerate and total numpty when it comes to managing money and investments is a determination that the rest of the forum here can make.

So what is it? Is he a fantasist or a degenerate imbecile?

BigEgo, if there was genuine interest, the fact that liquidity is constrained (i.e. low volume) would cause spikes in the price. As it happens it doesn't. The rumour is dead
