Phantom, I wish I had the ability to move share prices! I was just seeking views on what people think is a fair price currently. I generally research shares, set a buy in and sell price and hope to make money.

I bought in at 42p and 76p and was really happy to see £1.15+ but this has clearly gone up too quickly recently. I am ready to buy some more but just wonder what would be a fair price given what we now know. I would definitely top up at 76p, 90p tops but not prepared to pay any more

I wonder if someone is buying up a lot of shares ahead of a bid?

Says the person who is predicting £4. Hope that you are right but you are coming across as a bit of an unrealistic dreamer

You are not very friendly are you? Can I recommend a book - how to win friends and influence people

Nice to think about a £4 share price but in experience the big boys come along and buy companies at this stage of development and offer the directors attractive salaries and share options in the company taking over. We will never see £4 but if lucky will be taken out at £2. That would be good enough for me as averaging around 80p purchase price

I have no idea why Smithy thinks he can reduce the share price by constantly posting negative comments. No one listens to him/her and the market price is driven by facets not negative unsubstantiated comments.

Did he/she get sacked by Easyjet and is holding a grudge?

This share is an absolute dog. Every year they disappoint and say next year will be better. Cannot see the share price being any higher next year but hopefully they can maintain the dividend? Said it before but this is just a hold if you rely on dividends for income and do not need the price to go up

Always amazed how this share price moves on negative news on planes. RR is more than just plane engines

The fact that this share price has not moved today shows the lack of confidence everyone has in the government announcements. With summer holidays potentially on, would have expected a tick up. Tomorrow they will be saying something else

Should have also said that other sleeping giants that I have bought into are Rolls Royce and Angle, both of which I have made money on but nothing like as much as Lookers

I bought at 42p and was really happy to see 70p so quickly. Having read the comments on £bn+ values, I am obviously too easily pleased. Will happily sell half my holding at 84p (possibly tomorrow if trend continues) and let the profit ride. Just gutted that I did not invest more as I felt that 42p was a bargain

The market has taken the news well. It will take years for Astra to mend their reputation after this. All seems unfair as it is the government who have messed up the messaging

Looks like Astra have not benefited from covid at all. The share price is back to 2019 levels. Bet they regret the day that they focused so much resource and energy into one product at the expense of all others?

Quite a few of their shopping centres can be redeveloped to provide residential/offices. They can move retailers to the front of the centres and redevelop the rear of these centres especially where they have big empty units. At last management are making 2021 decisions rather than keep hoping for a return to the retail glory days

Will be amazed if share price does not hit £12 this week off recent good news on return to flying

I agree. I only hold for the 5% potential dividend. Does not matter what they do the share price goes from £2.20 to £2.50. Not sure what it would take to move the shares on? Basically you are buying a fixed income for 10 yrs with no increase in profits likely

I am sure that the European situation will be under control by the end of June. The current covid crises will lead to millions being chucked at the vaccine rollout. In 3 months the share price will be back to around £12 which is a fair value to reflect what a great company this is and all the pent up demand for foreign travel

Agreed. I would settle for £2.50 and would sell. Long term Aldi and Lidl are going to chip away at the trade that Tesco’s does. Shame because Tesco’s on line are fantastic but a large percentage of the population just have to go to the cheapest shops to get by. Look at the success of B&M

I think you may see £30 before £35. I am hearing that people are booking UK hotels and foreign holidays and will cancel their UK holidays if their foreign holidays are then allowed. This must affect WTB. Whilst bookings may be good, if they have to do refunds, this will not convert to profit. I sold out too early at £30 would get back in at £25 to £27.50 which is where they should be
