Because it is different people. Not hard or understand. Be like one person on here going sell then another saying buy and you saying LSE are clowns.

It's nice to see more coverage Shane price targets are coming down though

Yes if you're not looking out at least a couple of years into the future to see a decent return then the daily ups and downs are going to make you very uneasy and probably send you mad.

J P Morgan had an even higher price target in the past... so why should the BoD pay any attention to what they say when deciding whether to accept or not. They will know better what the business is worth.

Because it has censored part of a name so you'll have to replace it

I agree. I remember reading the book of a successful investor, it may even have been the first isa millionaire guy, who said in the end it doesn't matter if you pay 2 or 3% more if you are going to be making 100%s.

You also run the risk of trying to save yourself a couple of percent losing out anyway!

RDS B and BP will recover when demand recovers, so will this. but will the price as a lot of people had it because it was steady and a large dividend payer and now they are talking of investing heavy and moving to a greener way, which involves a lot of investment. Aviva are going to discuss a rebasing of the dividend later this year so you may find you get a lot lot less and are deciding what to do about certain markets around the world they operate in. The others have a 100% gain in them, National Express has a potential 400% gain long term. Also it isn't really jam tomorrow statements, they are operating at the moment all over the world, have guaranteed contracts in some parts, going to be getting a large bonus off the government for job retention and are talking to governments of some countries they operate in to be able to get revenue compensation or protection under their schemes and have plenty of cash.

" as again the BB had forecasts of 100p and even below, so I held off"

Perfect example of why you need to do your own investing and not listen to randoms online. The same person who said a quid is now talking of it getting to 230p. If this pandemic and recovery has taught me anything it is that it has surprised the experts and everyone on how stock markets 'should' work and what should or shouldn't be happening. Find good company at a good price, invest and come back in 3 or 4 years many times better off, even if it falls more before recovering. That is how the best do it. Only you can decide your risk tolerance, time frame and level of profit. All the companies have pluses and minuses but I know which one I am investing in.

Oh really noggers, why not? Shares can move 25% in a day easily, then it becomes more of a hardship to work out to buy as you thinking everyone will cash out and it will crash next day or maybe it will go up another 25%... this is how I missed out on it in march and before I knew it 150% had been gained in a week by some lucky people.

I topped up at 134 this morning only to see it drop rapidly lol However, anyone who tops up at these levels, or above, or below, and goes away for a couple of years and never watched the SP again won't be disappointed.

I think, regardless of whether you believe a takeover of FGP's US assets will happen or not at this time, that their huge SP rise in one day shows what a little bit of good news can do to an unloved share. NEX may well have its own day or days soon. But eventually this will be back up there in the £4 - it has happened twice before for the patient after massive drops.

I agree that they would be looking to acquire stuff and take over contracts, they have basically said as much in their updates.

It is hard to tell. No USA open today so nothing to make it drop at 2:30. Sector up... but who knows what US will do tomorrow which may drag it back down. Also Go Ahead report later in the week - any hint of it being bad any they will come down in my opinion. However, it has held up well around mid teens and 1.20 ish, so you're right I don't think there is too much downside but a lot of upside regardless.

I missed out the first time after the crash and regretted it. I'm now buying at these prices as I would have seen them as a steal back then, so why not now.

A lot has come down since june 8th. We have gone similar amounts to other operators, like stagecoach, plus ceo announcing he is leaving then leaving early haven't helped. But I agree, this will recover a lot quicker than a lot of people think. Fundamentally it is not a bad business and they are seeking to recover some costs from governments for losses due to covid in their past report (spain and germany have things in place to do so). If they do this then their balance sheet will be even stronger for future growth. An announcement of a good CEO soon or a trading update (they seem to give them regularly through the pandemic), saying that services and passengers have continued to increase and this will move.

It is the sector really - that loss is about 22%, look at stagecoach a similar loss. So just have patience wait for silly season to be over and some news to move them.

Yes but you could have a pre-set limit say 10% down I'll be out (manually sell) and try again another time or move on to something else. It seems it would save you a lot of hassle and worrying and wondering about markets which no one can figure out why some things move and others don't or if and when a share might rebound.

Who says they rarely come back from a downward trajectory like this? Stock charts of many companies prove otherwise. It is the whole travel sector down or fluctuating at the moment due to uncertainty, and this one has a double uncertainty of no CEO in place.

Noggers can I ask, if you don't want to end up with the possibility of holding companies you don't really want or that might go down after purchase and take maybe years to recover, can I ask why you don't have a strict get out or stop loss so these things don't happen?

The price will go up it just a bit of silly season with certain stocks at the moment not helped by no real news to propel this up. Doesn't mean it is a bad stock or won't make you many times your investment in the next few years.

I agree it is boring but that what wins mega bucks. look at a boring stock like legal and general. Off the lows in 2009 it made over 700% in about six years... For doing nothing no stress or hassle. No timing the market no regrets. I know it is an isolated case but when you find something over sold and nothing wrong with the business have patience. You'll be rewarded far beyond anything and able to enjoy all your hobbies more with stacks of cash.

Maybe because buys are a lot of people buying a few shares and sells are bigger amounts?

Indeed. I first purchased some end of january/february time just before COVID as I liked the company, what it was doing and where it is heading. I sold out at about 420 having lost from about 440 but I saved a massive headache. Now I am at an average of 1.77 in one account and 1.23 in another, but those are levels where I can make money from in the next few years and be happy, even if it does suck having a loss.
