I believe today's drop is due to the Trump tariffs that came into effect last night. According to BBC markets around the world have tumbled.

Ok, thanks AuntieBob... I guess doing it after the Trading statement is the right time to do it.

Seeing the BoD selling just before a Trading statement really would make me nervous.

Chris Carney also sold a similar amount.

Does it matter? I'm here for the Divi which is maintained ... for now at least.

Surly the building sector is overdue for recovery.

Bounced of the new support threshold of 1600

Jeremy Bowen, (BBC) said it looked like a planned mugging designed to make it easier for US to cosy up to Russia.

Maybe so!

Surprising to see Trump to kick away a 1/2 Trillion mineral deal.

Give the frozen Oligarch money to Ukraine to help the war effort and we'll have the 0.5T of minerals.

Does a minerals deal with the US mean

a) that the end of the war is near

or

b) the US will continue supplying Ukraine to fight on.

... and your view is based on what?

Anything in particular or just a feeling you have?

Pogo, a 5% drop in a day doesn't make a trend. It does indicate the volatility.

Looking at EZY over 3 years, since the mini budget fiasco, we see an uptrend.

WIZZ is more volatile than EZY, but still... looking over 6 months, since the market's massive over reaction to the summer profit warning, we've seen the company managing the engine issue extremely well and even managing some growth in passenger numbers, if not profit. And there is a a clear uptrend.

Looking at the charts, EZY should be over £6 by summer, wizz £18-£19 in the same timeframe. But with Wizz given the volatility we could see spikes over £20...

Dont often get a day as bad as this.

Jet2 down 11% on what seemed reasonable results

is it just the inflation news or is the world just terrified about what Trump might do next

The Hungary-based airline has resumed flights to Tel Aviv and Amman as of January 16.

Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5y2d6zwe2zt

according to the BBC, the 3% inflation jump is partly due to higher airfares. hmmm

"don't pretend that trading is any less risky than gambling in any other form"

thats a massive over simplification

there are many levels of risk in gambling and many levels of risk in trading

some forms of gambling will be more risky than some forms trading, and vice versa

its for each of us to try and assess the risk, our appetite for it and to balance it against potential reward

Pongo, just to point out you offer no rational or justification for any of you one word answers.

Do you have any?

I agree. There will be ups and downs, but I also see strong growth for the next few years.

'Fingers crossed' is probably not the best subject for this thread... this is more than just a punt.

£5 maybe next year... revisiting £3 between now and then

You meet a lot of weirdos on line.... we as adults must learn to deal with it and then teach our kids.

1600 will soon be the new support line

Above is the Q3 F25 presentation. it was slide 13 that grabbed my attention because the UK is not even on there.

It illustrates that the core growth is in the East... where we're not competing with Ryanair or EasyJet... and the ending of the Ukraine war will be huge for Wizz.

Good times coming for Wizz...

These results look good... so why the 5% drop?

There's two more for the ever growing filter list...
