Latpulldown think we have drawn similar conclusions from what we have watched of presentation.
Still (sort of watching/listening to it).
It is very much a "TV evolution rather than cinematic competitor".
As you say Netflix, Amazon prime etal are who this effects.

Trading Place,
Fair play for at least having the decency to step up when made a mistake.
Others could learn from this.

Ah, you did catch me by surprise there as could not see any news to confirm this.
As already stated today I think nobody expects anything other than FDA approval so may not have major sp impact (though it can't really be negative once that confirmation does come through)

Onlyone,
Excited a teeny bit will commence when we have had couple months of vaccine, Brexit one way or other is done and cinemas have opened and started to show at least a few big films ;-)
Until then I have moved to a teeny weeny bit less anxious on the bumpy train to destination extasy hopefully ;-)

Onlyone,
In my personal life I have been disappointed a number of times when getting ahead of myself with expectations.
So I try to not count chickens before hen has laid eggs now ;-)
Brexit and Vaccine news aside (and mm short position volatility also) this update from Disney tonight 'should' see flat to positive movement in cineworld sp.

Cineworld has a TINY USA stock market alongside our main UK listed shares.
They tend to run roughly in line (not always and not exactly at all times).
So with that caveat -
US share price of Cine at this point is 65p equivalent. It rose circa 5% from the point Disney presentation info come out.
I "think" in this instance it is likely to be a reasonable indicator to tomorrow and beyond back here with main share listing/price.

Onlyone,
Assuming I have grasped what's said so far correctly and no major change to the early talk later in presentation:
I would imagine it is seen as a rather positive outlook for cinema and share value (may not instantly rise much/at all) However seems nothing would warrant a drop in share price from this news.

Early info seems to suggest they intend to (as many would probably have thought) continue to distribute a mix of routes to market and content.
Without saying covid directly, they also talk of their plans essentially being as things are now and they will however continue to be driven by their customers and changes in market demands.
A mix of traditional theatrical releases, cinema/streaming together releases, content only for streaming.
I get the sense that for the most part the BIG blockbuster movies route to market will be firstly cinema then in time hit Disney plus.
As is already on streaming services there will be "offshoot" mini series of the franchise movies.
Shift of emphasis from their old channels to streaming e.g. Disney channel of old to Disney plus.
Disney bundle packages - Disney plus, Hulu and (was it ESPN!?) for $12.99/month with a no adverts version for extra $6/month.
Bundling couple other revenue streams...blah blah blah.
Think already got what's most important regards Cinema and Cineworld.

Today the bookmakers finally swung the odds on no deal rather than a deal.
What exactly would constitute the EU "capitulating"?
If you are certain then grab a bit odds against with the bookies.
I am FAR from convinced.

What percentage of EU trade is with UK.
What percentage of UK trade is with EU?
IDW
Anyone of past primary school education can take the appropriate set of numbers and put to back their position.
What size (population) is the EU market?
What size (population) is the UK market?

UK IS THE SMALL FISH in these (non) negotiations.

"I am sure the EU will capitulate by Sunday."
Just what would you or anyone else base this on?
The EU are the BIG party with less to lose in this negotiation.
In UK there is often a over inflated view of our power/size/importance in the world.
Trade with EU is more important to UK than trade with UK is to EU.

Couchman, However you swing it 2p is NOT a lot.
If investing at circa £30k to get your £500 a penny numbers. Then £1k is small beer for someone playing with that.

"2p is a lot if your investing in big figures .

At my rate, its around £500 a penny"

Latpulldown,
You do realise full occupancy is some way off!?
It is going to take a good number of months even IF vaccine roll outs go very well to reach a state where governments in USA and UK will be allowing packed indoor venues.

From what I understand that is not true regards easyJet.
Stellios neatly owns 29.998% so just under the crucial 30% for making offer for shares in company.
Either way, your 34% or the jist under 30% I understand then clearly a n other company or individual has not bought the business.
Offer too much for almost any company then yes things can happen. However it's not a regular occurrence companies being bought for way over what they are worth.

PinkEye,
With the family trust he set up holding 20% then it would not be an easy buy by another party.
For me it's not something as on the cards imminently as some here feel it is.

Well M Ashley has been openly trying to punt Newcastle for years ;-)
Everyone is different :-)

zstarz,
There is at least a couple other holders I would say.
Pre covid £1:80 +
Post covid breaking - to vaccine/finding clarity and they can easy range upto near £1 from 25p.
I, having been in since late summer have little desire to see "only" 100% on 50.5p average.
Other far quicker returns have been available as things have unfolded.
So for me I want well above that £1 level for a 1 year or more high risk investment.

zstarz,
I don't feel I would read Mooky comment as that.
Personally I don't think he fancies a takeover at all.
For me he wants to be THE MAN with an empire left for family.
However in business it would be a fool that come out and completely dismissed future take over possibilities.

All speculative and short to medium term at very least irrelevant I think.
Though £1:20 this week
£2.00 early spring
£3 end next year and they can most definitely have my shares ;-)

New Holland are probably only ones potentially bit exposed now/soon.
I "think" most other big players are sitting with averages considerably higher than current share price levels so no panic for fair bit yet.
Don't wish to completely spoil many long holders party, but I do believe many got in at levels so high we would probably be early months of open and they wouldn't be in too bad a position (obviously every penny increase reduces their potential profits. However, if I recall correctly many have been in since pre pandemic so anything below £1:50 likely isn't causing losses (or heavy losses at least).
Shorters will get out largely without the infamous squeeze IMHO.

To be honest, for more people than not with the level of risk they have faced holding this share and say an average buy in of 50 - 65p unless it returns at least £1:50 plus it will not have been a share worth holding.
All in my opinion off course.
Plenty may well be happy making 100% or less.
If it had been a very low risk share then yes , amazing.
However it has not been and still is not (yet).
