Member Info for FTSE12

raxfactor - I trade IAG almost daily.....I stick to what I know and how the SP reacts.

Sometimes a single trade, other times it can be up to 5+ trades per day.

I've made well over £100k from IAG over the past year by just trading it. If I held since last Jan, then I'd be at a small loss - but over £100k profit in the past 12 months just by trading it.

Sometimes you have to take/accept a loss and buy back in at a lower price just to get trading again.

It's probably one of the most stable FTSE100 stocks and usually quite predictable. Certain times of the day when it's best to buy/sell.

and another £800 profit on a 1 hour trade.....that's £3,600 profit made & taken in less than 24 hours

Where is Oil going to settle at? has risen every day for over 2 weeks now......not good for airline sentiment.

Poor ole PI's in Flybe......the reality was that Flybe would have struggled this year, debt position too high to maintain in what will be a challenging year ahead for the airlines. The Virgin/Stobart/Private Equity offer obviously reflected the dire finances of Flybe. At least many of the jobs will be saved.

That's how to make money - £2,800 profit made and taken since yesterday.

Since lunchtime - all due to American Airlines missing forecasts and weaker seat prices. This has taken down all US based airlines. IAG sucked into this sell off. Oversold in my opinion - great opportunity to top up on IAG at £5.90. Just bought 20,000 shares.

Berenberg have rated both RYA & EZJ s a SELL ( RYA sub £10 & EZY £10). Usual comments - increased costs, over capacity etc, etc. You could apply that so called analysis to almost every sector of the economy. Berenberg have rated WIZZ as a BUY......where is the logic in this?

Increased costs & over capacity were around when RYA & EZJ were £18.......so what has really changed?......the biggest issue facing airlines (and the rest of the overall economy is the £ stg....thanks to the Brexiters, the £ is rock bottom and likely to fall further - huge implications for the airlines. Oil / leasing / buying - all priced in dollars.

Non UK maintenance is also priced in Euros or dollars.....and given the state of the £, all these costs are likely to rise.

Oil continues it's daily rise (and has done so each day for the past two weeks)....not helping airline sentiment. Airline SP's going nowhere until Oil settles down.

OPEC not helping with additional proposed production cuts (pity they didn't sort out their human rights abuses!)

Oil won't stop rising until their is a significant increase in US production. US now producing more than the Saudi's but will need to show output increasing.

US/China talks + US markets on the rise also helps push Oil price upwards (expected demand).

We need another Oil rant from Trump to get Oil under control again.

Berenberg put a SELL rating on EZY at £10.10 today.......and how does the SP react?.....goes up by 5%....nice one!

circa £23k in profit now......not bad for a few weeks holding.....2000 @ £21.40 and another 1000 this morning at sub £30.

No reason why the positive sentiment can't drive the SP to £35 this week.

I would tend to agree with you regarding the BA Business Class offering compared to some other airlines.

I'm a consultant in the airline sector and have over 20 years experience within the industry on multiple continents/Airlines..

In the airline sector - it's all about the bottom line and IAG as a group (rather than just BA) manage to return substantial profits (in excess of £2 billion).

I would disagree with your below point.......

"Well I can tell you now, most business flyers are going on expenses, and most companies do not let their staff pay £12k for a first class BA flight"

With first hand knowledge of load factor by cabin class - I think you will find that BA actually exceed other airlines for fulfilment compared to other long airlines.

Managed to add another 1000 shares at sub £30 to add to my 2000 shares bought at £21.40.

Plan to hold for a while.

All airlines down today.......but EZJ is up!

It's all just momentum right now, will be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few days.

There will reach a time when momentum will stop - I plan to sell up if it reaches £35 (and take a nice £27k profit from an initial investment of £43k).

Can she reach £35 by end of the week?......so much positive momentum now, no reason why she won't continue to climb.
I didn't imagine my 2000 share investment would be up by almost £12k in just 2 trading days.

I'm still going to hold and she where she goes by end of the week.

People are just buying on the positive momentum....and long may she continue.

Where next?.....£30 SP now passed - can it reach £35?......I'm still holding on.

Just logged on to HL.....another good day for ASOS. Was hoping to reach £30 SP by end of Jan, but may see £30 within the next day or so. I'm now £15k up on a £43k investment.

at 1pm I was up circa £9k+.in profit.......and just after 4pm, I'm now up circa £12k.....this is flying.

Will be interesting to see how it is on Monday morning. Will there be a sizeable drop due to profit taking?....we'll see, but I'm still holding on for £30+ SP.

All in all, best few weeks trading I've had in a long time - - - between ASOS + Premier Oil + TCG....I'm up over £31k since xmas eve.......a few beers this weekend.......GLA

......is now £12.4k over the last 5 trading days. (not a bad for 5 days work)

Where is POO going to settle???? and how will it impact the airline SP's?

Airline SP's won't go anywhere until POO settles.....and there's no sign of this at the moment

Bought 2000 shares at just over £21.40 on the drop, although circa £9.5k in profit already, I'm holding on for at least a £30 SP. I expect the SP to hit £30 by end of Jan (if not much earlier).

Daily POO rises impacting airline sentiment.

All American airlines hit big time yesterday due to Delta reducing forward revenue guidance. News had a sudden negative impact on IAG.

For the moment I'm staying out of airlines until I see where POO is going. Happy with my £10k profit on BP & Premier oil over the last 5 trading days.
