My thesis only and I'm no professional investor to say the least :-) .... but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the high growth US tech. take a dip based on the 'agreed' g7 global tax reforms. For some reason I have never got my head round, this share seems to perform badly when US high growth tech does too, so maybe back to sub 290... but thats just my obs only as someone who has watched this share ( my wife would say obsessively ) since I bought in heavily lasy year.

If it dips back, im sure it will only be temporary, if not and marches on to 296 and above as this share can, cest la vie ... at least the PF has a good day and the trading budget intact.

Cheers Bas, all the best. C

Don't think anyone disagrees with you HarChris, this is a great share and LT, will get back on its feet and start paying divis again and get back to approaching £4, but it may take a while.

I have a chunk in Nex that i wont trade as I'm a believer, but my point is, it has a very defined range and has great support circa 2.85. I bought Friday at 2.86, bottled it due to concerns about what might happen in the US this afternoon and sold this am for 2.93, £620 profit. If you have some spare cash, look at the charts and trade the range. There is risk associated with this approach for sure, but if I end up holding an extra few k shares for a couple of months till it gets back on its feet, no major loss as it eventually will.

Let's hope for a good week all..finally got a week off and out for lunch with the wife and kids now!

ATB, C

anyone got any bright ideas why nex are taking a kicking today along with gog? even the airlines are doing ok ('ish) and they really are up a creek without a paddle? I've just loaded up at 286.8, 286.2 and now 285.2 ready for the bus back to 3.15 ( I hope :-) I', still massively invested here for the LT and will only ever trade 15% of my holding, but am struggling to see how we will get above 3.15 - 3.20 again without some good CV or trading news.

No posts on this board for nearly a week, stating to think I'm the only one still invested here :-) .. if this starts heading south of 290 tomorrow the I'm loading up for the next trip to 3.10. I'm a LTH here, but trading the chop on this 2.85 to 3.10 range is too obvious. Think it will take next q results before this starts to head north of 3.15 again but so long as we are steadily getting on top of cv, this is heading in the right direction lomg term. All the best all and don't forget the the suncream, C.

Nex is my biggest holding too, and this 10% drop is fairly painful! I'm about invest another good chunk on the markets and at these prices, I'm tempted to buy a few more Nex as this will only be a relatively short lived pull back, assuming the Indian variant gets kept at bay. My wife helps out with the Covid vaccination in Machester and she's been drafted at short notice to give extra Moderna vaccines tomorrow so all being well, this drive should keep a lid on this spike. Have a good weekend all. C

Thanks for sharing some positivity Monkshood! Keep the faith all! :-/

in fact, I'm going to email IR and ask them if they are planning on giving guidance on the divi on the 12th, heavy hint! You don't ask, you don't get and all that...

Agreed newts, it traded pretty fairly till the downgrade of public transport last week, since then, absolute sh*t show. IAG have recovered 85% of their pre-covid market cap and absolutely nowhere near flying to their pre-covid capacity, and here, well nowhere near out pre-covid mkt cap! Still, with the UK and US leading the charge out of covid, the institutions will be back soon, however to get serious traction we will need guidance on when the divi will be reinstated. All IMHO, ATB, C.

Cannot make too much sense out of today's drop. Q1 Trading Update on the 12th of May is where we get to see where things are really at. Let's hope for some sense to return tomorrow. All the best, C.

Good luck with that short this morning @DarrenBuffer :) C

All agreed Monkshood, a positive trading statement in May or early June should do wonders for the sp, the CEO also spoke of numerous potential news contracts last month and also great to hear the likes of Google wanting to get people back into the office. That should also help derive revenue back in the We Drive You business in the US. Trending in the right direction here. C

So wish I had the balls to 'trade the chop' with this share instead of rolling my eyes every time it dips every other week. Could have made a fortune. Whats our next peak before the inevitable trip back down to 3.10? Will we hit 3.30 again or will it be like the of Jan where we hit a new range? Chist knows, time for a beer. :-) better day. C

Wondered what caused the drop as it seemed a bit over done, thanks guys. Have a good weekend all. C

#sigh. Once, forgivable, twice! I'm just glad your not my account livepari4 :-) good day today though all, enjoy.

It traded in a 245-270 range for 2 months from November and we have been in the 295-320 range since early February. It will break out again early April, not least as we hit the new ISA season and people will no doubt be topping up with shares like this that still have room to grow back to their pre-covid valuation and hostorically perform well. Its quarter end and with an extended weekend it was always gloing to be a slow week. Patience and April will reward you, especially with the fundamentals still heading in the right direction. All the best, C

Seriously Jwd222, I politely replied to your stupid throw away comments before asking you to backup your comments with reason, and yet again, here you are. Did you listen to the presentation on the 18th? If you are so worried that it has you up at 1:53 in morning, do your research, make your decisions and chill. I've got nearly 150,000 shares and I'm not worried, so relax man...... why?

From memory as I'm in a rush, 1.9 billions in cash available, contacts renegotiated to be paid out regardless of whether the bus's are empty, loads of new opportunities in the US, I think there was about 12 rattled off the CEO's head when put on the spot by an analyst on the 18th. As for the third wave, yes in Germany, France and Italy, but their vaccine rollout has been like something from a carry on movie and if I were European, I would simply be embarrassed. My wife and I both do LFT tests twice a week as of Feb, the number of tests we are doing as a country has doubled in the last few weeks to 2 millions a day nearly and due to the vaccine rollout, serious illness is well down and infections are still falling despite kids being back at school. This is all heading in the right direction. Don't worry pal, this share is the place to be invested as at £3, there is still an easy 20% to be made over the next few weeks and more if you have patience. It's my airline shares that concern me! Chill, cheer up and sleep instead of posting carp on this board pal! Have a good one, C.

Must say I was a little disappointed with the reaction to todays results, as I thought it made good reading all things considered. Looks like a fair few of the transports and travel stocks were down though, so lets hope for an improvement tomorrow. Must say though, considering the new ceo has been in the job for only 16 weeks, he did a great job fielding questions and articulating his priorities, and brings far more energy and sophistication than Dean Finch, who didn't come across well in my opinion. The FD gave a really good account of himself too. They both gave me confidence that my money is well invested here, even if it didn't seem like it at times today! Like others have said already today, hold and enjoy a seady ride higher. All the best, C

All things considered, a great set of results and outlook. There should be good deal of institutional top-up here today. Enjoy! C

Hi Gallmat.... I posted this to the same question a couple of weeks ago and I think it still hold true...

"Just look at the market response to IAGs results yesterday, a 4.5 billion operating loss and up over 5% at one point. At this stage in the pandemic, its all about outlook, liquidity and cash burn. In my opinion, all three should be looking good here, thats why I'm hopeful of a good rise over the next 2 weeks. All the best. C"

... plus, Borris was with NEX on Monday for the whole £3 billions bus network and infrastructure reveal, and he must have been with NEX for a good reason, their hydrogen / electric bus strategy is well liked by government. It's also a coincidence that the results got put back till after that visit. For me, there will be some big reveals on UK bus network electrification and contract wins. NEX is by far the biggest slice of my pf, and I 'm thinking of cutting my IAG holding in half to top up tomorrow as I'm hoping for a decent rise Thursday. Just my take! All the best, C.

Also .... look at the reaction to the GOG results last week, which from memory were the 11th.

...sure you don't mean Maythe4th Darth? :-)
