I'm not telepathic, but I expect resistance at 95p for a while. Hope to see it over 100p next week. Just educated guess work so likely to be wrong. GLA DYOR and don't panic.

Topped up by 10K at 92.65. Hope it it will be over 95p by close. We'll see. I can't see any rational reason for it to go under 90p, but markets are not rational.

Having read the RNS, my humble opinion. 2.1% of the company has been offloaded onto the Stock Exchange so a drop was inevitable. The fundamentals of the company have not really changed. I suspect a strong recovery will follow throughout the day once the usual knee jerk reaction has filtered out and a sober assessment of where we are kicks in.

Not what I wanted to wake up to.

Yeah I topped up at 101.16 this morning (including stamp etc). The easy money has been made IMO but I do believe there will be a rerating above 110p fairly soon.

Bought another 5K at 101.14. I still think it is cheap with potential to reach 110-120 range fairly quickly. Fingers crossed. GLA.

Sorry if my post was misleading - I refer to the press conference called at 5pm today, which turned out to be hot air mostly, pills to take at home if you contract COVID (they don't exist yet??), statistics on vaccinations etc. I wondered if the markets were anticipating an announcement retightening of lockdown because of the Indian mutation that is spreading in UK.

Will be interesting what happens tomorrow morning after Boris's announcement. Seemed there was a last minute sell-off in anticipation of bad news, but it all seemed positive to me - so perhaps there will be a sharp rise. We'll see. (usually when I anticipate a rise it plummets).

I think Thunder has a deramping agenda. Broker ratings are almost always wrong and issued in self-interest. Having said all that, TUI is walking a tightrope and I only hold £5000 now (or whatever it is worth today).

Yeah, really pleased with today. Suspect it may fall back a bit over next few days before rising again next week. But hopefully I am wrong about the falls.

Got it - thanks.

Link does not work. I cannot find this information on the web.

Thunder 2040, Can you put a link on for this, please. Thanks,

Sadly, I missed out on the spectacular rises, but I can see (hope for) 115-130p being reached fairly swiftly, barring any shocks. I see lots of empty buses at the moment maybe with one or two passengers, but the high streets are about to open, and with foreign travel looking unlikely for most of the summer, staycations could mean more bus journeys in tourist resorts. We'll see. Good luck.

Just bought 10K's worth at 102.2 avg cost. Dithering when it was just over 90p. Holding for long term as I think its a solid company with some good capital growth. We'll see.

Was it only four months ago when they were hovering at around 40p.

In normal times perhaps, who knows.

If not taken over, I would assume they will have a radical recovery program, which could include another RI, selling off assets, releasing back assets, closure of most shops to focus on online sales, refinancing of debt etc etc. The banks and German government are in deep so it is in everyone's interest not to see it fail and I don't think it will, but it may emerge to be a very different company. Just speculation, who knows. Risky investment but risk carries reward. DYOR.

It would take a brave soul to still be heavily in this before the half results. But then I'm probably bitter as I sold all but 5Ks worth of these a couple of weeks ago just before they soared. LOL. (Old school mistake - let emotions govern trading decisions). My gut feel with this share in the long term is that a rich Chinese/Russian billionaire will buy it. Who knows. It's risky investment. Good luck all.

The usual pattern (though may not necessarily be repeated) is large rises in the morning as kneejerk reaction to the news, before falling back again when people take stock or cash in on any profits. But who knows.
