A.smithy, I have been getting real with IAG for many years and yes some on here have been very unkind and say I am not in my right mind but not to worry, I bought more IAG just before 4.30pm on Friday and hoping to make yet another quick turn, it can be a very busy business this affliction of not being in my right mind. I remember last time around 2012 and even further back in 2012 lower than today and even in the old BA days of 2001 and peeps saying similar stuff but it worked out well for me, strangely enough I never heard from the same peeps again. Are you planning to become a long term holder and what is your track record of guessing things right, did you do well with your own guesswork ?

Whatymessy , IAG+IAGN is approx £1.50 not 112, I traded this once today and will take another gamble with a limit order at 111.5 , wouldnt want to be out of this over the weekend as they used to say on the AIM boards but seems there are plenty of peeps dont want to be in it over the weekend, anyway I will give it another whirl.

mowzerrocks , there is no stamp duty payable on IAG shares or on the rights IAGN.

If you had bought when I said it was a buy you could now be banking the profit then do it all over again.

Paddyboy, this is one of the best shares for PIs , its always been highly volatile, anyone worried by this like whatymessy etc should stay clear as it is high risk, we have seen exactly the same price for IAG +IAGN = £1.57 on 3rd August and 14th May this year and it was even lower in 2012 following which it became one of the best performing shares, take no notice of the doom merchants, I have got this right hundreds more times than I have been wrong about it.

Paddyboy who do you think is manipulating the price ? It is highly unlikely that you are right , its smaller cap shares and AIM crap that gets manipulated, its news flow and sentiment thats affecting IAG and no matter how much the doom merchants on here think they may be influencing the price all they are doing is possibly making a few inpexperienced investors worry uneccessarily which has an immeasurably small influence.

Jenn1800 this 'Only the uninitiated would take up their rights' and your comment on the 14th shows that you do not understand this rights issue, try getting some tuition in arithmetic it may help you understand how it works. I will be subscribing for new shares using my rights, I think I am initiated.

You need to do something , in a normal rights issue if you are an existing shareholder you can do nothing and your rights will be sold and you would get the proceeds but in this case on expiry unless you have sold your rights or chosen to use the rights to buy new shares you will get nothing other than you get issued with new shares which dilute your holding, so if you do nothing you will lose money. I am using my rights to buy more new shares, I am not saying to you this is the right thing to do but thats what I am doing.

mess, the share price will get to £8 in 2023, I could be dead by then , so could you but probably I will still be alive so you worry about your own health same as you seem to worry about everything, is there anything you don't worry about ? What matters is how many people are dying from covid and this number has been massively exaggerated from the start and seems clowns like you believe the numbers despite them being doctored up by those with a lot of self interest . The media hardly mention the few deaths they prefer the big numbers for infections but you carry on being afraid if it suits you.

whatmess wrong yet again and as usual trying but failing to put a negative spin on it, more evidence that he is clueless and probably never traded a share in his life , anyone holding the shares since friday already has the rights which in themselves have a value to be added to todays share price, the rights enable the holder to buy new shares at a discounted price but those with rights can sell those rights before they expire, whatamess clown, you really should not be giving advice to anyone who is not sure how this works.

SanjeevStocks, I have a long term holding of IAG not in ISA and will excercise the rights if there is a RI to take more shares, I have taken part in many rights issues over years of FT100 companies and all apart from Lohnro/Lonmin were worth buying into for the longer term. Mainly though I am not a long term holder but I am not planning to try and trade IAG as it gets closer to the vote but if opportunity arises I will. I think IAG will probably be £8 sometime in 2023 .

trfaddiegamail , you can safely ignore the so called ' investment article' most of them are written by plonkers these days, some of them are even generated by an algo which automatically fills in the technicals and fundamentals and then writes a story to fit then automatically emails them out to peeps on the mugs list. If the RI goes ahead I can assure you it will be fine. I would imagine the person that wrote your article is in the plonker category rather than an algo though.

So you noticed on 18 May that I said I would try the filter button and in your tiny brain that means to you that I could not change my mind and unfilter, its all part of your inability to get make money. I imagine you walking down the street into a lamppost, you then demand the lamppost moves out of your way as you could not possibly walk around it or acknowledge that the lamppost is in the right place and you are in the wrong place.

I have not filtered you out whatamessyouare because the fact is we are not all in this together, we are all competing to make money and when I know who the competition is and seeing people like you get it so wrong so often it boosts my own confidence knowing that although I may not be the best share trader in the world there are many like you who are absolutely hopeless.

Mr Little Rhino or whatamess ? You are seeing nothing on 'here' , you messy make no attempt to validate your comments , you have made so many wrong predictions on here like 184p was a good short entry then it doubled, how stupid can someone be, getting short term trading right is not that difficult but you messy get it wrong every time so on that basis I conclude you have never owned a share never mind trading ETFs on the US market, but I find you funny in a Benny Hill or Mr Bean sort of way.

Newbie 20, you do realise that messy has been posting tripe on here for six months and made a number of silly price predictions all of which were wrong and not just a little wrong all of them miles out, so if he cannot even guess roughly the share price over a one week period taking any notice of the tripe he writes about Covid is also nothing but part of his little agenda, I find it difficult to believe that he believes the tripe he is posting.

You are joking Smartinvestment ? ' I’m almost resigned to the fact that you have called this one right' , messy has called this wrong all along, he is a fantasist, he has no investments and has not made a penny profit in his life, how can you have such a short memory to think that he got anything right so far ? All we are doing on here is passing the time of day, take no notice of anyone. On the corona virus nonsense the only thing that matters are the numbers of people dying from it and the government have now admitted that the numbers are exaggerated which was obvious would happen six months ago , its in the interests of the medical profession and scientists to make the worst possible case, very predictable behaviour and thats extactly what they have done.

messy and termite both now back spouting nonsense I suspect neither of you are very good with numbers and cannot read a balance sheet. The IAG share price has been lower than todays price years ago and there were clueless spectators similar to yourself saying the share price would never again hit £ 6 and coming out with all their reasons why not and then of course it went a lot higher. Your virus predictions will be as wrong as your price predictions so far, I expect to see a share price of £8 in 2023.

I have taken part in dozens of rights issues and they are mainly a fair way of rasing new money giving existing share holders rights as opposed to having been fleeced in dozens of placings in my view is theft, you seem incapable of understanding what I wrote. Seems you have not learned anything in your abscence termite.

curdas9, it is highly unlikely that any shareholders will be excluded from the rights issue, thats the meaning of 'rights' as opposed to a placing which is an AIM trick and one of the many reasons I have for not punting on the AIM market. It nice to see the doom merchants on here get it so wrong once again.
