They will find it. Will be invested over several years. I feel BA has lost its identity in recent years, if it can claim top spot it will deserve a premium and be more of a target.

My only reservation is that some of the middle east airlines have rather deep pockets and already too far ahead that 7Billion won't get us there.

It's good to see a plan and focus though and as a share holder I support it

I sold some time ago and this has been a blessing. Just took my first tranch to buy back in should the bottom not yet been hit.

The company is expanding sales, selling to a market which unfortunately for the people seems to be getting worse and now also introducing buy backs. The risk reward here is minimal at these levels.

With a p/e of around 3.6, debt going down and less than half the market cap it was not long ago it's only a matter of time.

They are making some good head way with Mercedes and also growing in the housing sector. I believe the down trend has been because growth has stalled but it's been way overcooked.

Also in these ranges wouldn't be surprised to see another approach.

Love the fact this is relating to US tech campanies, agreements with three of the five largest and has a huge growth story to play out.

Just brought in.

Won't be long before someone suggests £1

£1 by Friday?? 😂😂😂

Looks like we are getting a knock on effect. We have so far to climb still too!

RyanAir has jumped 7.1% after it said it will pay its first ever dividend after profits hit nearly €2.2 billion following increases in passenger fares.

Europe’s largest discount airline said it plans to hand over about a quarter of its annual profits to shareholders after benefitting from a record summer of passenger traffic.

The airline forecast a full-year profit after tax of between €1.85 billion to €2.05 billion for its financial year ending in March, which would be a record.

It said it will pay a dividend of €400 million and plans to give around a quarter of its annual profit to shareholders in its financial first-half results, along with a pledge to consider special dividends and share buybacks in the future.

Ryanair carried 105.4 million passengers between April and September, another record for the summer season.

Onwards and upwards!!

I've read in several reports over the last few months one of them involved Barclays having carried out an independent review on how to improve the SP. If I recall the report came back saying large cash flow next year which is recommended to substantially increase buybacks.

This is what I'm anticipating.

I too am not at fan at 6£

Its far too cheap and while I may make a quick 50% capital gains on my money I would have easily got that in appprx 5 years with the divi. I invested for long term reinvesting dividends which I planned to keep for the next 20 or so years.

Oh look at me, moaning because it's going up in price 😂😂

With near 10% dividend any offer would have to be a huge premium to the current SP. I do hope the rumour is true as it may put some life back into this insurer...

With divi paid and a rumour brewing tomorrow could be a very good day!!

Why do you keep rating it as a sell?

Are you watching the bike race kick off?

Would they become Wizz Easy or Easy Wizz, that's the question that keeps playing on my mind 😂

I've been buying for years and will continue to drop feed.

But when the ftse 100 hardly moves in a decade, Pension funds pull out, Morgan Stanley makes statements like the UK being the cheapest in the world then we should be asking why and what's going to change to bring this confidence back.

Sorry for rant, I feel much better now :)

Ftse 100 Companies are due to pay around 27billion gbp in buybacks in 2023.

Many blue-chip companies trading at Pe ratios in the single digits yet the Ftse seems to be in a terminal decline.

UK pension funds won't even invest in the UK. Where has this gone so wrong?

I'm back in. Sold several months ago at 520 and picking up small batches on way down as doubt I will pick bottom.

Im hoping next week we can start to see some gains, otherwise I guess I will have to keep trying to average down

Thats guaranteed. It's knowing when is the problem. Could be tomorrow or in 5 years :)

All I know (believe) is that the UK markets are cheap and the downside risks are relatively limited.

Everything over the pond is priced multiples to the UK stocks. Yes if they fall the UK seems to have a habit of falling too but I am a strong believer we can't get much cheaper over here. We have some blue chip stocks trading at P/E multiples of single digits. We can't get much lower!

Honestly if I had a few billion I would be buying up UK Companies. Right now it's like my birthday every month when I get paid.

Everyone was is amazement when the Dow broke 30k. It's already had several down days and still at 34k. We are only above the 7k mark. US has a lot further to fall than us

Personally with the Mcap being so terribly low I want them to increase buybacks rather than a special divi. I plan to hold years my holdings and thus buybacks will make improvements in the long term.

This market cap now is a steal at 27.7 billion. What were our profits for the half?

It's the forward looking statements the market looks at. Barclays expects their net margin to reduce as they expect interest rates to fall.

I find it very strange how I keep reading landlords are greedy and everything is their fault. Being a landlord and knowing quite a few others who work very closely and have good relationships with their tenants.

You must have had a bad experience or upset you don't own a property to rent out to keep putting all landlords in this box. In fact given Lloyds current landlord approach and assuming you are a shareholder then maybe u can put yourself in this box of yours?
