i hold both off these stocks. Roughly £20k each.

I however dont know much about airlines, am a very infrequent flyer as i prefer to drive on holiday. My ezj shares are on a free ride as i bought them at what simply appeared a stupid price when they plunged last year, then initially went down, then come back up and i top sliced off my original investement. I shall just retain these for the divi or until i can dispose of them using my future CG allowances once Brexit is over, when i see them rising quite higher.

Again, my Rya, i bought these as a percevied 'value' stock having seen the price go down substantially over Brexit worries that have spooked the sector. My own view is that fear has been overdone (seriously, are we all going to stop flying?) . Initially i anticipated a bit of a jump up and a quick exit with say 10%, which hasnt occured, so am holding longer term on the basis i'll sell when myntarget price of 16/17 arrives, if it flys with possitive Brexit news i may wait longer.

What you choose to invest in and how will depend on your style of investing. Id describe me as a income seeking (i hold lots of oil stocks for example) oppertunist value invester with relatively deep pockets and an appitite for some considered risk, i dont spread my exposure far as usually recommended and jump in with decent monies. My name on here doesnt reflect my style at all lol.

So in short, i have a foot in both airline camps as above, but cannot offer thoughts between the two businesses, although they are wildly different in their operational (and PR) style. Am not a great fan of buybacks, but can see the theory, and mikeys company image isnt as good, i see rya as the aldi of airline, Ezj maybe the Morrisons, and as a more 'friendly' appearing company which people would choose if given a straight choice - but then if we can save a £ we all try too wouldnt we.

aether, thanks for that, just ordered a copy 😀

As for sausage rolls lol, Greggs are definately the best, but why stop at just the one?

Good weekend all

billy, profit cap isnt a worry to those inside the industry, lots of internal saving to be had still, although they wont tell you that its plain to see each day internally with the eyes open.

ifonly. dont know if you watched the endoscopy camera on the monitor but if there was anything there they'd have seen it, the cameras are fecking superb and crystal clear. Early stage cancer looks like a smear, or in my case a lump. Details stored electronically to so can be reviewed, i asked for a copy of mine using GDPR but my shitty laptop couldnt run the file as its low spec lol. Ultrasound is usually used to look at either the adjacent tissues, like lympth nodes, or to check depth of penetration of any tumour into the tissue structure of the oesphagos (four different layers). Its incredibly clever stuffand helps build a viewable picture for the doctors.

What id be doing if i was you would be to keep a tab on things for the moment, and if any burning, reflux, tightness and especially swallowing troubles get another camera down super quick. Certain foods are bad for swallowing, non toasted bread, meat and fish being the worst (these roll into balls on the way down and jam). I went cos i couldnt eat my kebab treat one night, nearly choked on the f'ing thing.

im in that industry and used to hold a lot of svt and uu, and a few hundred pnn. i to got shot of them when they just kept dropping and dropping, and only now hold a few thousand uu that are underwater. i do think though once Corbyn is definately a no risk post brexit, they will pick up so will keep those, but it needs the government to stay in power realy to see substantial rises and im not brave enough to say they will at the moment - to many stupid snowflakes with hands out to be confident at the current time.

ifonly. only one symptom was struggling to swallow food (tumour obstructs throat near stomach). That is pretty much the first sign you get, and generally by that stage the cancer is advanced so your on the back foot. Another one is 'acid reflux', basically a burning sensation in the lower part of your throat around the tummy area, where you stomach acids leak into your oespohagus. In effect your oesophasus is made from cells that cannot handle stomach acids, normally there is a donut shaped muscle that closes it off to prevent these acids rising, that muscle sometimes doesnt work as it should, and the nasty acids rise up and are thought to attack the 'weaker' throat tissues and cause cells to mutate. I can recall a few nights suffering with this around christmas, and think this is what started my troubles. if id have sat up and had a drink to wash this acid back down perhaps, rather than lie there till the feeling passed then maybe things would be different. You can also take drugs to remove the consequences of acid reflux (Nexium is one) but these are thought to increase other risks to the stomach itself. My advice, if you get acid reflux, get vertical and drink to wash it out, and go and see the GP, a camera down the throat (Endoscopy) is a simple doddle and the best way to check you out.

One industry maybe worth looking at once brexit is sorted would be water. its all down quite a bit, pays a good divi (even with those being tighter) , and from a political viewpoint we should be able to see whether commy corbyns lot have a chance of getting in, which i think is what is depressing the utilities and holding them back currently.

thanks for the wishes all, very kind of you, this is the best board on LSE. keep em crossed on Sunday.

So then, whys this baby going rocketing upwards today, any ideas?

thanks billy. im going to make damn sure it does mate, next year those percentages are going to be slightly higher if i have anything to do with it.

ive had my fourth dose of flot chemo last week and feel good and strong physically, you would never know i was ill to look at me. i have a final ct scan on sunday @ 9.30 so cross your fingers for me. This will give the doctors the information as to whether they can operate on me or not, i should hear by the end of the following week. So a twitchy bum time for me at the moment. My tumour is is oesphogal cancer, poor prognosis in general and a 9 hour nasty operation. without surgery my odds are 5% and most people die in a year, and with it the odds go up to 15% i'll make 3-5 years. Not a bet id normally take but feck it i dont get a choice. Good job im so stubborn that i only ever lie down to sleep.

the issue with the kids is a realy cruel kick in the nads, i bet that worry continually tormented the poor guy just when he had enough on his plate already. Lifes a real bastard sometimes, and always to the innocent.

sorry to hear that news craig, the only comfort i can offer is that he is no longer suffering and you did get to see him to say goodbye even if he wasnt aware. And you are right the NHS staff in this country are all superb, National Hero Service it should be named.

billy. i think BP will tick back upto the £6 within a month or two personally, they simply earn a fortune at this sort of price per barrel, superb income machine.

billy, he did this a month or two ago, his big gob knocked the oilies SP's down on the news (ideal top up oppo) and oil crept back up to the near 80 barrel highs anyway, leaving the SP's still at the lower prices. It'll just repeat the same mate, BP and all the oilies are well profitsble at this level in any case, nothing to worry about, unless the saudis or russia go mental and unchain the pumps.

billy, doubt bp will go down much. They are still off the previous 600 ish highs with oil at this price range. Cant see how trumpy can threaten BP much myself, he was ranting about the middle east countries who may pump more to lower prices rather than take him on.

might be worth having a watch on Kier (kie) if your still divi hunting mate, good divi in a few days and the SP has been bouncing around with some big swings recently that might offer you a decent entry price. Buying earlier this morning would have given a big rise and the divi to boot. maybe worth a look for you mate.

See trumpy is moaning about high oil prices again, wish he'd give that record a rest.

leave my oilies alone trumpy, keep it schtum please.

HL paid my last one in pounds automatically.

i'll take that billy, then 3.40 on freaky friday and so on back up to 400 😀
