Qzqz.....I didn't sell 'way too soon'......bought at £4.95 on Friday, sold on Tuesday @ £5.49. Bought back in @ £5.27 on Tuesday evening and sold again @ £5.45.....all in all, I've made and taken almost £3.5k profit since last Friday. Not a bad profit for a few day on just one of my trading stocks.

It's always a gamble, but when the U.S markets are up it's just estimating when is a good time to get back in. This is by far the best FTSE 100 trading share. This is a very unusual trading share as the movements are reasonably predictable (depending on how the U.S markets are doing). Are you heavily invested here?

Live prices not being available on Hargreaves L happens quite frequently - I've emailed them quite a few times about this and never receive a meaningful response. It happened on Friday morning for 35 mins and then again on Monday and then on Tuesday.

Best trading stock on the FTSE 100. bought on Friday 26th, sold just now.....£2k profit.

I always buy when sub £5 or just above......and if you have the patience for a day or so - you can make a very decent profit. Trick is never to panic if it has a small retrace......always bounces back....always take the profits when they are on the table.

For whatever reason analysts at HSBC do not like IAG......have rated as 'Reduce' all year with a very low SP.

Huge variations in SP valuations from all the so called analysts. That's why I always ignore them!

And I'm glad I got out of IAG @ £6.03 Was expecting most to take their profits today and the SP is now reflecting this.

It's turning out that WIZZ is the best gainer of the day

Results better than I expected given the oil price strength over the past year.

I sold this morning after buying in yesterday evening as historically the SP drops after results announced. I will get back in mid November as that's usually when you can pick up at a decent discount. Also managed to make a decent killing on IAG yesterday. (makes up for the SP fall over the past month or so).

I've been in IAG for years, but have been day-trading the airlines for the past month as market volatility results in being able to pick up additional profit.

Will be interesting to see whether Oil can stabilise at current levels.

I've just noticed that both EZJ & IAG hit year low's today with WIZZ not too far off earlier this morning. I assume RYA is somewhere near as well?

Will be very interesting to see where U.S markets end up tonight - are we go to see new low's for the airlines on Monday? Investor's need balls of steel to play with the airlines at the mo.

Waiting for the 'panic' to settle down.....markets just in a bit of turmoil right now. Not just impacting airlines.

U.S markets down - resulting in a minor global sell-off, wouldn't be surprised if we see another sell-off in the U.S markets later today which in turn may well trigger another FTSE / European sell-off on Monday.

I'd suggest this current market turmoil may well have some legs! There is some negative momentum in the markets right now.

Hopefully when it dies down, it will be a good time to pick up some great airline bargains.

There is major negative sentiment across the whole aviation sector over the past 2 months or so. I sold up all my airline shares over a month or so as I did not like where the trend was heading. All airlines are down today but EZJ is being hit far more than the others.....I don't know why.

Wizz was hit badly over the past month but managed to pull back circa 10% on Friday/Monday/Tuesday....who knows maybe there will be some pull-back for EZJ? For whatever reason, EZJ appears to be hit very hard over the past 2 months. Despite increasing their profit forecast.....the SP is still being hit. I'm not sure there is a single reason for this?

ASOS always delivers on results. Given the amount my daughter spends with them, it's no wonder they do so well!.

Seriously - Probably not a great share to hold long term as it can be quite volatile between quarterly trading periods. I will take some profits off the table today. In terms of direct competitors, ASOS has a great business model and it can be a cash cow. Their growth has been consistent over the past few years and they always perform.

'Director' sell-off on 11th Sept (under 'Director' transactions"

"The sell off of 60m shares at £30.32 by a major 'investor' on 11th Sept ......wonder what they know that we don't?. Significant events like this never inspire confidence"

Can anyone throw some light on this?. I got out of Wizz as soon as I seen this!....and the SP was £28.77

Looks like the markets are still in 'Sell-Off' mode - will be interesting to see how the U.S markets go when they open later today. FTSE100 is heading towards the year low.

EZJ still holding it's ground though!

US Bond rates rising (and also rising in Europe) triggering the equities sell off over the past few days - will be interesting to see whether the past 2 day trend will continue into next week or whether this is just a brief market pullback. Must admit that all airline shares are looking good value at the moment. Historically, November is usually a good time to pick up airline shares. If Oil price can stabilise then all the better. Interesting times ahead.

PS: If Labour ever get into power - I'm packing my bags :)

Yes, you're correct - that was my original plan.....but the spike in Oil prices worried me ( and they've jumped in the past week). Given the volatility in Oil price and the fact that the market is pricing in for an increase in the medium term, it's likely the airline SP's will be impacted.

I'll wait until November to see if Oil has stabilised. My view is that airlines SP's will not increase until oil drops and stabilises. IAG are only 50% hedged for Oil and then only until first quarter of 2019. If Oil stays where it is then any new hedging contracts will cost airlines more. RYA are not hedged at all, and their latest announcement is that this will cost them an extra £100m.

Airline SP's are primarily driven by Oil costs.....and right now the market appears to be indicating an increase in Oil over the medium term. This is the big unknown, hence why all airlines have dropped recently. IAG are my favourite airline - great fundamentals, profits in excess of £2 billion - great P/E multiple, but concern over Oil is driving everything down.

I've never seen IAG drop everyday (without fail) for over 2 weeks...and it's only driven by concern on where Oil is going. IAG is probably the most profitable airline in the world and I will get back when I see evidence that Oil price has stabilised.....too much of an unknown risk at the moment.

I've sold all my airline investments almost 2 weeks ago (even my IAG). Oil price appears to be heading north (will be interesting to see if any major spike in early Nov with the Iran sanctions kicking in).

Keeping all the cash on the sidelines until such time if/when oil shows some signs of stability. Issue with the airlines at the moment is that although 2018 results will be good - 2019 more than likely won't be so positive due to oil costs.

It's not just airlines - the whole market is down considerably over the past month or more. For the time being, Cash is king and I'll use if I see some good airline deals. November is usually a good time to get back into airlines in time for the December increase (but then again, will all depend on where Oil is).

SP has dropped everyday for the past 2 or so weeks....all airlines are been driven down due to sentiment about rising oil prices. The market appears to suggest rising oil prices over the medium term. Unless oil dramatically drops to below (and stays below) $80 brl, then I would suggest that IAG will continue a slow drop.

The 3rd quarter results are due 26th Oct - but even if these are great I doubt it will have any positive impact on the SP if Oil continues on an upwards trend. Sentiment about airlines SP has radically changed over the past few weeks due to oil price. My outlook on IAG has changed over the past few weeks, so much so that I've sold my entire holding almost 2 weeks ago. I won't get back into airlines until Oil begins to stabilise.

If only we could predict where oil is going - we'd all be millionaires.

I know that EZJ have recently raised their prices and load factors are looking good.....appears most people accept a few extra quid on their ticket price. Ole Mikey at RYA had to announce a ticket price reduction after all the disruption caused by him and his board.....all self induced.

Most airlines are now back to year low's. Even my favourite (IAG) is now back at December 2017 level. It's the perception (or maybe reality) that Oil will continue it's upward trend over the next few months. Supply constraints along with upcoming winter demand can only strengthen Brent price.

Nobody really knows where Oil is going but it's hard to see it getting back to (and staying below) $80 brl for Brent. Currently at $86 brl....frightening! The airlines will fly (excuse the pun) only when Oil drops and stabilises.

The sell off of 60m shares at £30.32 by a major 'investor' on 11th Sept ......wonder what they know that we don't?. Significant events like this never inspire confidence.....I'm keeping a veRY close eye on the SP as it's getting very close to a buy-in for me. It's now at an all time year low.....but then so is EZJ.
