Member Info for FTSE12

As I expected - the TS was reasonably positive. Well managed airline.

Unlike RYA - you don't hear of multiple profit warnings from EZJ.

It's going to be a challenging year for all airlines. Interesting times ahead.

Trend - I agree, I would not touch TCG at current price (can't see any real upside to TCG whatsoever). It's always a risk buying anything ahead of results these days.

I never touch anything in AIM or Small Cap (apart from ASOS - made quite a significant amount on ASOS since December when the SP had the massive and sudden drop on lower expectations). Bought in @ £21.40 and got out @ circa £32.50.

I'm just keeping an eye out for anything that panic sells on lower forecasts - where they are way oversold IMO - ASOS & Halfords & SOPHOS were good examples - they don't come along everyday but I keep an eye out for these type of opportunities. That's why is always good to hold cash to use when these opportunities come along.

Will be interesting to see if the U.S markets continue their uptrend (since the December panic sell-off).

I'm ignoring any nonsense about Brexit impacting UK shares - bad news usually only impacts UK market for a few hours and then it's back to business as usual.

I've nothing specific in mind at the moment - just keeping a close eye on the markets.

Trend - I'm certainly no 'high roller', wish I was!

I didn't see my £28k investment as a risk with Sophos - the SP is quite predictable after a panic sell-off with the latest results. I certainly can't see the SP ever hitting £4 in 2019. - missing their results targets twice in a row would not inspire confidence for a long-term hold.

I may get out tomorrow or Wednesday, money could be invested elsewhere - always good to hold cash - there's always a bargain to be found on a panic selling day.

Brokers know about as much as we do....it's all guesswork anyway. All depends on state of the global markets.

Eitherway, I'm still happy, bought 10,000 at £2.81 on the panic selling last week. Circa £3k up at the mo.

Still plan to sell if SP reaches £3.30......and it will, maybe this week? if not, reasonably confident it will be next week. What price are you holding out for 'Trend'?

.....jumped back in @ £2.80. way oversold IMO. Bit like last time - it will see £3 - £3.50 within a week or so.

UPDATE.....nice to see it's passed the £3 mark. Hopefully positive markets will help pull the SP further north. Next few weeks should be interesting. I'll get back out if it hits £3.30. That'll be a nice £4k profit on top of the £3k profit my Halfords buy on Monday 14th Jan is showing. These companies can be good value when you buy on the profit warnings - always way oversold in the panic selling and the SP's usually recover to a fair degree. Trick is never to be too greedy - always take the decent profits.

Managed to pick up 10000 shares @£2.13 on Monday - now circa £2k in profit.

Nice one - just checked the latest SP.....now almost £3k in profit.

Ole Mikey and his arrogant attitude has led RYA to top of the table in terms of shareholder value destruction. Just look at the comparative falls from SP highs for the main players. (apart from Flybe - which was never going to survive as a stand alone).

All well and good RYA reporting an increase in PAX numbers - but multiple profit warnings (some of them self inflicted) have driven the RYA shareholder value destruction. Investors want to see some semblance of where growth (profitability growth) is going to come from. The markets are usually pretty spot on. There is a very good reason why other airlines don't compete with £5 fares.

As an investor/trader - it's all about shareholder value and I reckon that EZJ will be a good bet over the next 6 months or so. In terms of EZJ SP growth - I reckon it will outshine RYA in 2019.

It's not about how much profit any airline makes, it's all about shareholder value. (RYA returns more profit than anyone (apart from IAG) - but what use is that if it leads the shareholder value destruction table.

My holding now in EZJ is relatively small at 4,000 shares (picked up 2,000 shares on the panic selling yesterday).
These are a buy & forget purchase - will take some profits if SP rises considerably during 2019, If not, will be happy to pick up the Div's for the next few years.

Will be nice to compare the shareholder value returns of both EZY & RYA over 2019 - and my money is on EZJ.

Ditto.....jumped back in @ £2.80. way oversold IMO. Bit like last time - it will see £3 - £3.50 within a week or so.

Not sure we'll see £3 today, but who knows. Will hold for a week or so.

The SP is only heading one way!.

Mikey already pre-warned of falling seat revenue on the last update, and now announces another projected fall.

SP is going nowhere after multiple reduced guidance updates. Although their profits are significant - a SP is never going to rise when the profit guidance is being reduced on a regular basis.

Wage increases are not the issue, every sector of business is facing this. It's the fact that they cannot increase ancillary income anymore.

His PR disaster on strikes last year hasn't helped toward sentiment.

You don't see EZJ selling seats for £5. RYA have led the race to the bottom on cheaper seats, and now it's backfiring on them. I can see RYA cutting back on capacity and focus on individual route profitability. Their strategy was to aim for lower PPM and gain on the sheer passenger numbers - this strategy is not working.

There is over capacity in the short haul sector, but RYA has also contributed to this.

Gioviano.....yes, I do trade a large volume - it's the only way to make really good money.

I believe the results for IAG will be good, but like you say - the markets can be disappointed. I can only see IAG going higher over the next few months. You need to watch out for Oil price on a daily basis as this can have quite a big impact on the SP over a space of a few hours.

Another £2k profit from a single 24 hour trade.

better off putting your money into EZJ or IAG.

Taken in isolation are fairly meaningless......it's the PPM (profit per passenger mile flown) that counts in conjunction with the load factor (using a profit per seat available). Different routes attract varying PPM's.

EZY tend to fly to main airports, hence costs are higher than some of the airlines who can sell seats for the price of a sandwich. The cost of a seat = a sandwich - airline may have a higher load factors but it's PPM may be lower, this is where bums on seats matter.

to a decent buy in price.

A decent bounce for all the airlines today....hopefully will continue.

Managed to pick up 10000 shares @£2.13 on Monday - now circa £2k in profit.

Just picked up another £2.8k profit in a few hours of trading this today.

Volatility in the markets is great for trading.

Consider the gamblers / foolhardy folk who bought back into Flybe in the past few days - look what happened there!

Another group of silly gamblers have lost out yet again - when will people ever learn!

At least RYA will recover once the panic selling subsides today/tomorrow.....good opportunity to buy over the next few days.

IMO It's pointless buying and holding shares now.....just look at all the global indices over the past 12 months, they are all considerably down (especially in the last 6 months or so). The reality is that we have been in a bear market since last February. Just look at the FTSE100 - down circa 10% in the past 6 months alone.

As far as I'm concerned, day trading is the only way for me.

Impossible to predict that one!....'Brexit' is the big unknown.

My view is that it's always better to pick up a share on ex-divi day (SP usually drops by more than the actual divi).

so if the divi is circa 58p, then it's more than likely that the SP will drop by more than this amount on ex-divi day......all depends on what your strategy is - do you plan to hold for a while after ex-divi day?
