Jlb, you did not get slaughtered because of what you said, you got slaughtered because you were/are being a jerk, period.

You come on here mocking people's hard earned money being withered away, this money is theirs, not some global behemoth that has billions everywhere.

So perhaps check yourself, and if you believe it may drop to 150 (anything can happen with this POS share) then at least have the compassion or decency to keep quite, gloating is never a good trait. Says more about you. Just my opinion.

@77, RR has debt too. But, more importantly Turbo Tufan said what he was going to do, so that inspired investor confidence. IAG CEO's silence is as they say, "deafening"!

Heardy, and sometimes that is the best option. We don't have that US/stampede mentality to have a run on a stock and push it through the clouds, like AMC or Gamestop. I am tired of waiting so gave up 30% of my shares to buy BP, that has already made me money and when it reaches over 510 again I could sell and rebuy my 30% of IAG at the same price as I sold them, maybe less.

Mararab, not mad really. They same people did it to the US, civil war.

They did it in Korea, they did it in Vietnam. Same people.

My father served in Burma, he said it was hell. Not only fighting the Japanese, but the disease and mosquitoes.

Mararab, you know full well he could care less. He is a traitor to his own people. Just optics, they all do it. Funny they all want to remember the past but forget the present?

Shopping. Wifey needs new handbags. Big Z should be at the frontlines. He also posts from his villa on the lake in Italy where he has made the background look like the presidents office in Ukraine, meanwhile his people are spread across Europe, conscripted are dying on the front line and he is making the social rounds.

If you are at war, stand in front, that will soon put an end to wars. Same goes for all these criminals.

Just to be clear, one party is no better than the other. Both out to screw the public and have done a bang up job of it!

But for more arguments sake, it was this government that thought it would be a great idea to build HS2, £12b they said, £50-70b so far an not even there, last estimate was for £120b. How about they tell us, the tax payer how, where and to who they give our money?

Corrupt, the whole pigs**t pile of them. Europe is not better either.

Conger2, I live in Switzerland, but still 100% sure the UK government sucks!

Now, I do not disagree with you about moving, but as R_P said, the sun and beach numbs the pain.

Investorintheknow, you forgot "None of the Above"...

Please, in the interest of everyone, can you NOT force people to join in on topics totally unrelated to IAG. I just don't get why you do it. Those responsible need to be shamed. Okay, got that out the way.

Hitman and IAGL, you are free to leave, no one will force you onto a topic.

But please share IAG related topic with your own thread, I for one am giddy with excitement as to what you have to say. Or I could just tune out? I guess I have the free will, some of you do not possess?

Tricky125, hello bud.

Take care whatever you do, they are ramping up the Ukraine crap here. Big Z is making noise again and the US is beating the war drums. Big Z needs locking up as does BoJo.

They could have had some sort of peace deal back in March 2022 and maybe very few Ukrainian and |Russian lives would have been lost, but no, Bojo was sent there by Biden and co to fuel the death. What a horrible bunch of people.

Displaced Ukrainians are no better off and probably will be worse off.

I have to agree with Conger on this, always ask for a cash discount when buying from a 'retailer'. Only a manufacture is able to give a zero % and that is just to move stock. Hence why so many home stores like Wickes etc sell kitchens (example only) at a discount, they make a 'back end bonus' from the manufacturer. It's about a numbers game.

Credit is not free unless they need out of a product. I bought our last car during the special covid operations, got 10k off and 0.9% interest.

One last point on credit, I have learnt the rich rarely pay cash, they use credit, they accumulate wealth and assets that way, but that is really big ticket items, not some poxy naff stuff.

If you borrow £10k from the bank, you will have sleepless nights, if you borrow £1 million, the bank has sleepless nights.

I am of the belief that although income size is important, what is more important is how much you spend. If you can save that goes a long way to personal 'wealth'.

Without divulging too much personal info, I grew up literally dirt poor, you have no idea!! So now, my greatest 'fear' if you like, is becoming poor (not that we are rich now...) I do not want my kids to endure what I had to, they don't already. I do not want to return to that place. So I strive every day to save a little more, it's the only thing I can give my kids, a financial step up the ladder. I need to ensure my mother has a decent end of life, or at least comfortable. That burden lies with me.

Now, as C_K said, find the best way to save early, teaching kids this valuable lesson early is so worth it.

Money is not everything, but some times it is the only thing. And the way things are going, you can never rely on your government, they tax you pay today in NI or similar is to provide for those that have already retired, the governments, all of them have spent what you thought was 'your's', the next generation coming up has to provide for us that will retire later, and so on. Private pensions, property, assets is your only chance. Not a Netflix sub, or a Gucci handbag or a flashy car.

I also could go on, just too much to write about the pitfalls of youth...

Are we talking about retirement, living and doing stuff you could not or did not because of time/finances etc, or existing?

Two very different things.

Right now for us here, looking at the next 5-8 years (expected retirement?) we survive on 50k Chf (£43k) per year, no holidays, no expenses like roof, kitchen, etc. That will not change going into retirement.

Interesting off topic though.

C_k, bud, just use the filter button. I know you should always keep an open mind and see everyone's opinion by not filtering, but at some point.... let it go and ignore.

They come and they go, most of us are here for what seems forever ;-)

No you are wrong, it was changed to the 29th of Feb 2026

AchillesZeno, because if they allow home grown energy then that would spell the end of the 'petro-dollar' and when that comes to an end, so does the US. Simple.

That empire is on it's last legs anyway, just needs a push.

Bobbins, this is ENGLAND... Any many other places around the world.

If you take a step back, or several you will come to realise all this is by design. Not so much that the government is doing it, but rather they are letting things like this happen more and more and do nothing as a deterrent.

Now, all they are doing is taking advantage of this, give it a few months or even a couple more years, they will make draconian laws and they will pass by popular consent from the public. They create fear and you beg to be protected, but not the way you want, it will be all encompassing, that includes taking away what little rights and freedoms you 'enjoy' now. That is by plan. Remember when Gordo Brown made it illegal to demonstrate the government within a 1 mile radius of No. 10?

How did they manage that?

Sundezena, I have to agree with you on that FED comment.

100% they want to take money out of people's pockets via interest rates. How else are they going to fund 'forever wars' in Ukraine and sponsor their bastard child, Israel?

Pre-market -8.11%!!!

This is not good for airlines. we will be taking a bath when the yanks open it would be the norm.
