Before or after it goes to £1.50?

I remain unilluminated by your tea leaf readings.

Is this the same person who advised you to say this yesterday?

"Tomorrow will be awful. Sell it all today before it’s too late"

BBC News: "First transatlantic flight using 100% green fuels to take off

"Following test and analysis, the flight was approved by UK regulator the Civil Aviation Authority earlier this month. A number of companies have been involved in the project including engine-maker Rolls-Royce and energy giant BP."

Nice little story to get today going, hopefully its all happy news from here on out.

"Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc signaled it will hang onto its power systems business that some analysts had seen as a disposal candidate, as it looks for ways to slash costs and tie the unit closer to the rest of the group.

The company will cut the unit’s separate functions such as human resources and legal and instead integrate those roles with the rest of the group, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. Rolls-Royce will also look for ways to cut costs through group-wide procurement of parts and raw materials, the people said, asking not to be identified ahead of the company’s investor day next week.

Chief Executive Officer Tufan Erginbilgic has said he believes the unit, which makes diesel and gas engines for the marine and rail sectors, has a role to play within the group."

Hey @Red_inky have you got "£1.50 before £3" tattooed on your forehead yet?

@RonR - "to be stabbed in the back by your so called ally is utterly beyond the pale!"

To quote The Thick of It: "This is politics! There are no clean hands"

Also take care when reading anything written by Mad Nad. I've heard shes infectious.

Another telling quote from the original Bloomberg article for those of the glass half full persuasion:

"It’s not unusual for airlines and manufacturers to make up shortly after public disagreements. Air shows are a venue for negotiations, and publicly voicing dissatisfaction is a blunt tool to wring concessions from the other side."

Is this before or after it drops to £1.50? You keep peddling excrement then calling it "a joke".

@Red_inky - you might want to check the dictionary definition of the word "likely". I think you might be looking for the word "might" - expressing possibility - as in "it might drop to £1.50" but lets be honest its just about as likely to be £0.75 or £7.50 as you getting this call right. Also when offering predictions, its usually helpful to offer a fixed timeframe so that you can be judged on the accuracy of your tea leaf reading.

likely - /ˈlʌɪkli/ adjective

1. such as well might happen or be true; probable.

2013 = 5.4

2014 = 6.0

2015 = 5.9

2017 = 9.3

2018 = 9.0

2019 = 9.8 < Peak production

2020 = 5.1

2021 = 3.8

2022 = 3.7

2023 = 4.4 (1H)

Read through all this - since I dont know anyone at RR who could tell me, I looked at the 1H statement, the appendices of which said they'd produced 115 civil large engines in 1H, so 115/26 weeks that would be 4.5 engines per week roughly. Is that the right way to be looking at this?

Was wondering what was driving this sudden upswing. Theres my answer. :)

Am I right in thinking there should a trading update in the next week or two? There was an update on 3 Nov 20022, and before Covid one on 7 Nov 2019 so guess its likely, but wanted to check if anyone knew with a greater degree of certainty.
