Expecting a good week at the tills and this will be our first "special event" day where this time around we get to fully benefit.

Christmas sales were cut short due to the last lockdown, Valentines Day we missed due to the same and it was the same with Mothers day.

First event from which we can fully benefit.

Website will be there for personalised cards and gifts.

If anyone is stuck for a gift this Sunday, or you get asked yourself as a father and draw a blank then your local Sainsbury's or Tesco carry Cineworld gift cards where the purchaser can choose the value. In that way the company gets the proceeds and they (and probably you) get to enjoy a trip to the cinema. Particularly with Fast and Furious 9 only 10 days away.

Alternatively there is a good offer on the Cineworld website right now, and its good to see the marketing departments are embracing things

Have a decent day.

Sympathise to you Capitalistpig and I know exactly where you are at. Without going into detail very close family member of mines got diagnosed with a critical illness that would have given them at best one last Christmas. Their words to me. Pillar of fitness and healthy eating and all things right in life. The idil of life shattered in one consultants trip. Fortunately through a massive operation, treatment and our NHS they are still here 4 years on. You have my absolute sympathies. Been through it myself as will many others on here, either themselves, spouses or children. Thanks incidentally for being genuine and sharing. No easy things to deal with.

Should in theory make no difference or rather the week ahead should add to our revenue generating power in California and with Irish cinemas opening.

We all know that 3 weeks, 4 weeks or 5 weeks worth of extra jabs is a good thing. We should? have been near to clearing cohorts 1-9 by 21st June in any case.

The key won't be the small fry like you and I but how our big institutional investors and the likes of Jangho see things.

Saihaj,

Where the £,$ and Euros are concerned any extension should have a negligible impact at the tills and arguably or cash generating ability should go up next week . I'm invested so will be holding for both Fast and Furious 9 which is only 10 days away on the 24th and 25th June in outr territories and then for Black Widow on the 9th July. Step change in Box Office revenues coming irrespective. The joy of having Multiplex cinemas and some films coming to the end of their theatrical run.

I think the pm might also have to succumb to 3 weeks reviews - and to put all businesses in line with the travel industry. Sir Graham Brady I think is lobbying on behalf of the Pubs and Airlines s Travel industries next 3 weekly review is due on the 24th June.

Impact assessment should lockdown be extended is thus.

Cineworld UK (+ Ireland) - We continue to operate as we are doing presently with up to 50% capacity in our many screen multiplexes and with concessions sales of food and drink. Slight boost to the estate next week as Irish cinemas reopen on 18th June

USA - stays exactly as it is. 15th June (Monday) 81 Regal cinemas increase to 100% capacity

RoW - stays exactly as it is. Czech Republic having just reopend its doors, Israel can have another record breaking weekend and Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia all continue as they are.

(Revenue Split should you wish it is USA - 73%, RoW - 12%, UK (and Ireland)-15%

Lets see what the PM's says.

More interesting take on things off Sir Graham Brady, whom I believe is Chair of the 1922 Select Committee. Probably decided to put it in print as the PM has been at Carbis bay scoffing his barbie and listening to sea shanties.

Worth a read as his views are probably representative of certain sectors of the economy, and sections of the population right now. Missed lifesaving surgeries and treatments postponed or cancelled. Good points made though on ever changing goalposts.

Morning Folks and for what should be a roaster of a day ahead.

Cruis 1, IG are essentially a financial firm that deal in spreadbetting and contracts for difference. In effect it is a bookmaker. It's very rare in life that a bookmaker fails to make money from its clients. That persists whether you are betting on the G-gees, football, darts or in the financial world where IG operate. I'd probably say moreso in the financial world when they have ready access to data showing aggregated positions and where they know you are leveraged and subject to margin calls. Knowing that then you know spread betting and CFD's are mugs games.

The foot of the IG Index website for anyone interested.

"Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 71% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk."

I'd personally be more interested or worrried if IG / bookmaker "advised" people to buy.

Afternoon Capitalistpig.

Just one further thing to be aware of with you and your wife's portfolios and that is that the FCA compensation scheme should one of the institutions you use go t!ts up (touchwood it never happens) is that it is only limited to £70k per institution. You also need watch for some also have subsidiaries and it is per institution and not subsidiaries. You should be able to put more meat on the bones.

Some good dividend payers for income in your P/F and particularly if you picked them up during the depths of the pandemic. Interested why you have LGEN over Aviva?

I post good research and get pedantic response. I Filter. Note I don't then further engage. I don't reply but still someone feels the need to reply to me. Further they then try to get another to copy it across for me to see. I still don't reply.

smalltrader I likewise believe posts good stuff and adds value to the bulletin board. Again pedantic by the looks of it. Replies decently. Still pedantic.

Can you see where the common denominator with the problem is?

Feels threatened for some reason imho, be it either knowledge, research, positivity or ability. Queen bee syndrome. Public bulletin board though and not their won on which everyone is entitled to post so long as they adhere to the posting rules.

Smalltrader - keep up the good work and just ignore or filter.

Ashstash,

You have a CGT allowance of £12300 for the year over and above your ISA allowance so can open an Ordinary share dealing account and watch your limit.

Thereafter if you have a wife then you can legitimately transfer £20k to wife and she can open an ISA and authorise you to run it. Intra spouse transfers I believe are exempt. Check HMRC website.

The latter is handy to know for if you both build up annual ISA allowances over the years of say £70k each and profit on top, and one of you sadly passes away then there is also a mechanism that exists to let you legitimately transfer and keep the full benefits of their ISA to yourself. It's referred to as "additional permitted subscription"

There are articles all over the place on both using your spouses allowance and additional permitted subscription".

smalltrader I got what you meant about post pandemic Box Office records and I'm sure others did likewise. No need to reply further.

In a nutshell there is - NO - impact on our present revenue generating potential.

In actual fact that increases next week with Ireland coming online and the increased capacity in California.

We are virtually at 99% cinemas reopened moving forward into two Blockbusters Fast and Furious 9 and Marvel's Black Widow.

You can count the Californian cinemas shifting up to 100% capacity on here if you like.

If the headlines are as they then we stay exactly as we are now on 21 June.

Impact assessment is thus.

Cineworld UK (+ Ireland) - We continue to operate as we are doing presently with up to 50% capacity and with concessions sales of food and drink. Slight boost to the estate next week as Irish cinemas reopen on 18th June

USA - stays exactly as it is. 15th June (Monday) 81 Regal cinemas increase to 100% capacity

RoW - stays exactly as it is. Czech Republic having just reopend its doors, Israel can have another record breaking weekend and Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia all continue as they are.

(Revenue Split should you wish it is USA - 73%, RoW - 12%, UK (and Ireland) -15%

Have to wait for the PM's clarification in any case but that in a nutshell is how things impact it us.

Happy to repost again throughout the weekend.

Is to:

1) Buy more shares
2) Put more footfall through Cineworld and cinemas and the food and drink concessions if you can, or
3) Treat yourself to an Unlimited card if you can.
4) Word of mouth others

In that way you do your bit.
Got 5 tickets myself for The Hitman's Wifes Bodyguard next week.

For anyone on a budget you might be able to get a couple of "free" tickets for next weekend for the price of a lottery ticket if you watch this website after the 15th June.

Enjoy the Movies, Enjoy the Popcorn.

And two doses of the Pfizer vaccine is 88% effective against it.

Today Easyjet, Jet2 and IAG are all up about 0.75%. Just wondered if you might care to explain that one? All sat directly next to each other in the tight confines of a plane and no social distancing like you get in the cinema?

Hotel groups IHG and Whitbread, heavily reliant on indoor business up about the same 0.75% to 1%. Marstons marginally up as well.

It's just a hard one to explain why CINE would be down 2.5%, even moreso 8% on the week when they are open, have just further reopened in the Czech Republic, are taking money and just about to go 100% capacity in its biggest state in the US for Regal cinemas. F9 and Black Widow coming up.

Just interested what your thoughts are?

That's amusing sammy18.

Always remember your post on "if you listen carefully enough" One of your best.

No cok measuring here either. Just positive on the stocks I invest in and limited engagements otherwise. The aim in investing is to make money !!

I wish you well with your investments and on the lady front. I am fortunate enough to be married a cracker. Always subscribed to the mentality that if you don't ask you don't get and been fortunate to have shared flats with a mix of both male and female flatmates. Good confidantes the latter and it was they who advised me that most extremely attractive women, men feel inhibited by and shy away from. Was a door opener for me that, hence the above.

Back to Cine.

Green coffin just appeared. It worked.

Oh for the rejection of the filter button.

lol

I know that Robin. Just pointing it out for others who might be wondering why all three of you appear sometimes together and disappear similarly, and probably tick up each others posts.

The filter button is of course always there should a post or posting style not be to your liking.

I'll be posting regardless.

Pop your head over onto the Cub Energy board and you'll get the flavour.

Sammy, Robin - no disrespect either of you but I have done neither of you any disservice.

I am more than happy to buy some stock in Cub Energy and join you all over there to discuss it's prospects.
