Once again. This stock is not going to attract institutional investors until something significant is said or happens. There are too many other airline stocks that investors could put their money into and get a better return.

Despite YOY increase in revenue and flights, this and others are just not attractive enough.

If we crack 170 this year it will be a miracle, that miracle will happen as it has for the past 4 years, in Feb, that will be the peak price. Just my opinion, looking at the price movement the previous years.

The better this company does, the worse the sp is. Something is just not adding up.

Dan, not inviting Russia to peace talks in a Russia / Ukraine (US, UK, EU, ) conflict is pointless.

You cannot negotiate if only one party and their friends are there, that's just stupid.

If you want peace, you need to talk to those that you are at war with, not your 'allies'.

Otherwise we already have that, it's called the UN. You can only join our club if you think like us and do as the US tells you.

Having served in the Balkans in the 90's, I'll tell you first hand, war serves nothing, only to enrich those that are already rich. The poor die, the middle class become the poor and so wait for another cycle to start over.

Maybe it's just me, but I do not feel I should be patriotic to any country, all the governments suck, all of them.

Anyone feeling a tinge of patriotism are deluding them selves.

Morning tricky, hope all is well you with in the near frozen East?

I agree, if Russia is not invited then it's a show, to distract from Biden's Gaza problem.

US sentiment on Ukraine is not good, people see the outflow of cash to Ukraine, even the UK have got on the band wagon of 'conscription' "otherwise we will all be speaking Russian"... Do people still fall for this BS? I wonder?

I mean, would Russia really want to invade a third world country like the UK?

Let's look at the facts, the US and West have been breaking deal after deal since the Berlin wall came down, Ukraine was the last straw for Russia. Not making excuses for Putin, but is the US and UK really guilt free in all this? Nope. Just ask BoJo who hopped onto a plane to stop big Z from negotiating a peace deal back in March 2022...

The rest is history as they say.

I would not want Russia parking a nuclear sub off the coast of the Isle Of Wight, so how can we expect Russia to be happy with NATO parking nukes in Ukraine, 10 mins from Moscow?

Anyway, have a good day to all.

Babycham, typing fast then hitting 'post'.

Or.... 10% down in a year despite being 7% up in five days...

Let's not crack open the Bay Cham just yet.

007, listen, you don't have to tell about Tesla, I agree 100% about it being overvalued and overhyped. Look how Rivian and Lucid debuted, then tanked and never made it back.

EV's are used to virtue signal, especially Tesla's. They are built for people who don't like to drive.

EV sales in Europe have stalled to a point where they have 0% financing with discounts...

AAL up nearly 8% , the others are up too.

TESLA down by nearly 10% despite double the earnings profit, but the market was expecting 'more'.

That tells you all you need to know about how the market works, not on performance but on expectation. What a stupid way of working, rigged to the gills. Just the the US government (yes, I know, the UK too)

Thriller, I know, that is Europa I think? That deal was for 400€ million, IAG own 20%.

They also want to buy TAP of Portugal, but Europa deal is under investigation by the monopolies commission...

Dan, I think they post once they pay down debt, so no one knows until it's done. I hope they pay €1 billion per quarter, but unlikely.

@thriller, I hope they DON'T buy any more airlines until debt is down. But if they do, it's cash with stock trades/swaps of some sort, normally.

Sund, you know I'm just messing with you right?

And here's Sund, so down she goes....

Yep, the FTSE100 was 100 points higher the same day in 2020!! In four years the UK stock market has stood still, actually slid back, but I like to be positive and 'stood still' is about as good as I can muster.

WE NEVER FOLLOW THE UP TREND, EVER.

As seen in exhibit #1: in the red!

Oh.. Sund enters the chat and down she goes..

Oh that? We knew that was going to be the case once the FED said no rate decreases, followed by the IMF and ECB, just need the BoE to fall lockstep and the circle is complete.

Foreign wars take huge amounts of funding and they have to find ways to raise that from us, what better way?

What now? you need to be more specific Skindle, there is so much I can't keep up...

Yep, I think a recession is the least of our problems right now.

Hey Dan, welcome back.

House purchase went through ok?

Hello tricky, only -4°C? We had -8°C yesterday, now a little snow.

Hope you are well?

TBH, I think it's a lose-lose, situation for the majority of the UK if any of these two clowns get or stay in control.

What has happened that our collective leaders no longer serve the people, I mean it was always this way, just never as bad.

Oh boy!

Anyway, stay warm, Spring is around the corner and as It's only January, we have a whole 11 months for things to improve... or get worse!

In the words of Homer Simson: "Doh!"

Skindle, nice, don't blame you. Joints always feel better in the warmer weather (for most).

Portugal will be our 'end up' destination.

I'm about 30mins from Baden towards Basel.
