To be fair, Fordm,

He did try and blunder his way out of his "house / studio / mansion....." post.

It's clear he didn't think about what he was saying, and just so the little scamp knows, I don't care about his holdings but the point to my post is;

He is clearly fibbing about his holding and therefore cannot be believed. His backstory as a holder is nonsense and he's exposed as, well, as a you know what...

Happy Friday everyone

Maybeonedaysoon,

You then said;

"Ok, I let a bit of personal info out."

No, you don't let personal info out. You realise (after the mathematics was examined to you) that you made a slight error.

It's ok. It really matters not. I'm not here to vilify you or anyone.

As per my original post to your, bragging free Newquay house said; I always find it interesting what others have dared to invest in this company.

All the best.

Oh dear, Maybeonedaysoon,

I guess you were quick to project how a £2 IAG return would afford you a small Newquay house, now you're retracting by saying it's a studio flat and or something smaller.

You can't crow about it being a "house" in one hand, but then excuse it in another.

Nonetheless, even if you're anonymous (35% profit) properly is worth £100,000 that still means your average SP in IAG is around £300,000.

A company that you predicted the SP would fall, but continued to hold, and (therefore) lost in that time £20k - does that make sense?

Maybe you shouldn't criticise others and their financial wisdom when yours nakes little..

All the best

Hi, Maybeonedaysoon,

I guess the logic is simple.

You posted the below comment;

"I’m in significantly at 148. At 200 I could quite easily buy a small house in Newquay with my profits."

If IAG reaches £2, that will mean from your £1.48 investment is 35% up.

If a small house is worth £200k, which you could buy from your 35% profit, that would mean your holding would be in the region of £600,000 to have a profit of £200k.

All the best.

Apologies, Maybeonedaysoon,

May be my question was clumsily asked.

You've got such a huge amount of money invested here, and you firmly believed there would be a drop today, which means you could have saved yourself in the region of £30,000.

I guess for a layman, such as myself, I'd find that kikd of loss twitch worthy.

And that's why I said I bow down to your knowledge, as you clearly have brass balls as you've got £600,000 invested here and you're on the cusp of touching upon a loss.

To invest that much you must already be a millionaire, so I wonder why you prattle about on sites such as this.

Nonetheless, I never thought we would retrace today. I mever thought we would catapult how many had hoped.

I almost triggered the sell button when we were dropping, as I'm in profit from £1.35ish, but I believe from Monday we will tick up so selling today (for me) isn't wise.

All the best everyone. We are on the right path of financial recovery, but it's just a slow one.

Maybeonedaysoon,

Please accept my apologies, as I hope you don't think there has been any vitriolic tone from my myself.

I'm in awe that you have in the region of £600,000 invested in IAG at £1.48.

I imagine with this plummeting share price you may start twitching and look to exit or you may be looking to add more at your original entry point?

I've only got £17,000 invested, so any advice would be welcome.

All the best

Fordm,

Anyone who invests that much money into a company must know all that they need to about it.....

I'm his new biggest fan...

Maybeonedaysoon,

"A fool and their money!! Lolol z!!"

Erm, you've admitted to saying you have invested in the region of £600,000 in IAG.

All the best

I'm always interested in how much peeps have invested in a company.

I thought my initial £17k investment was a huge amount, but Maybeonedaysoon has topped it!

If a small house in Newquay is (say) around £200k, and you'd be in that amount of profit at £2, that must mean you have around £600k invested in IAG?!

Hats off to you for having huge cahones.

All the best.

When I was 18 I had a Honda CB250N Super Dream.

I thought I looked like the dogs danglys on it but in reality, I looked like a prat.

Tomski,

If you had a Honda C90 cherry red scooter, then you would definitely win. They're collectible now.

Actually, if IAG brings it home I may get one.

All I'll need then is a side car and I'll get Olive in it...(from On The Buses) if you kidz out there are too young to remember.

Have a good Sunday all.

Erm, sorry, too much red wine, I've got a CBR900RR.

flipping Eck. I can't even recall my own bike!

No more wine. Hic...

I had an R6 but I wrote the bike off skidding across cow sh**!

Trust me, that wasn't my finest hour.

And, I currently own a CBR1000RR but it's a 97 model. Oldie but goody.

Apologies all for the bike chat, but I figure it's a weekend and rules may be more relaxed...

Anyway - COME ON IAG!

24/02.

Reppyrr,

I've been eyeing up the modern retro Triumph Thruxton 1200RS.

But, if I really had to, I'd accept a Panigale....

"15 Feb 2023
Greencoat UK Wind PLC (LSE:UKW) has been left with significant surplus cash for reinvestment following its conservative approach to higher wholesale energy prices last year, according to analysts at research house Kepler.

Keeping dividend coverage at 3.2 times for 2022 while wholesale energy prices were rising, boosting revenues, should mean it has £394mln in cash to invest.

Kepler estimates net assets are up 31% in total over the full year even though it did not hedge electricity prices and they subsequently fell.

Greencoat “captured high prices during the last year but having seen electricity prices come back significantly from their highs, [its] conservative approach looks to have paid off,” analysts said."

Tui, the world’s biggest tour operator, said that summer bookings are ahead of pre-pandemic levels as customers shrug off cost-of-living concerns after years of limited travel.

Even though prices are higher than they were before the pandemic hit, Tui on Tuesday said that bookings in the past four weeks had exceeded 2019 levels. Travellers from the UK and Germany led the resurgence in demand. Up to 8.7mn summer and winter bookings have been made.

First-quarter revenue at the company hit €3.8bn thanks to positive winter and summer bookings, while earnings before interest and taxes were €158.7mn, compared with €274mn a year earlier.

Tui’s bullish outlook follows news of strong trading elsewhere in the travel industry. Low cost airline Ryanair has reported record profitability while easyJet forecast a return to annual profit after three years of losses following “strong and sustained” passenger demand.

Hotels & Resorts reported a third consecutive quarter above 2019 levels and was up year-on-year, supported by good operational performances across the hotels businesses.
The recovery in Cruises continues with the segment achieving a third positive quarter since the start of the pandemic. As a result, the business recorded a strong improvement against last year driven by higher volumes as well as improved occupancies with a full fleet back in operation.
