..although transacted on 22.05 , the extra c. 670k shares purchased continues in developing its holding.

... you got me there monaco , heartbreaking it is..

.. recent dowgrade from morgans and upbeat outlook for turquoise

... has fatcontroller ever mentioned to your knowledge people posting under several names. I really can't be bothered to look through all his posts , but he seems to just want to have a pop at everyone , never backs up his random statements when putting people blatently down and moves along if nothing has happened looking for the next one to have a pop at. Tried filtering but it messes up threads , maybe just going to another board to air and share thoughts on shares will be the answer... FC just really puts me off wanting to post as he seems to want to just put whatever is said down in front of everyone on the forum , is it me or is the guy a nutter?

oops , sorry about that , lol.. :-)

maybe that bit more of a drop will arrive sooner rather than later http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article4039876.ece

I also agree that those that have to fly long haul on business will consider the fuel surcharge as a payment of neccessity in order to maintain reliable service , however , whilst I think that BA are justified in so doing , I don't think the press will be so understanding. Airlines are having a crapy time of it and I was dissapointed that nobody was interested in maintaining silverjets service. I thought BA were due to launch their own business class service from the city of london airport in due course and I would have thought that if BA got in on the Silverjet brand and any slots available from Luton/Stansted , etc , that this would have been a boost to those plans, obviously my thoughts were way off track. I would have prefferred to see BA in the headlines as putting its recent profit to use and saving 10's of thousands of flyers from misery and buying the last business class only airline for not alot of monies rather than sweeping up any short term business that falls off silverjets undercarriage.

The collapse of silverjet , oil prices weakening and american airlines pulling out of stansted has given a little recent spurt to the shares. Looks like BA have also whacked up fuel surcharges which will deter a family of 4 flying long haul this year. I opened a recent long position that I have now closed and opened a short as I think that these might well fall back again given the fact that they are effectively saying to families to stump up another £1k to fly long haul which the weekend press could well ave a feeding frenzy upon. Airlines are going to be fickle for quite a while and traders should profit from these peaks and troughs when they can. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/consumer/travel/article.html?in_article_id=442289&in_page_id=&ito=1565 , gl.

... nice steady rise over the last week. Looks like some of the disposals are shaping up nicely behid the scenes.

16th May 200, 000 ; 21st May 500,000 ; 27.05 500,000....

.... went ex-div today , I have pasted a link that I find useful for a quick check on divi dates and other divi related info , atb ,mark http://www.dividendinvestor.co.uk/index.php?symbol=bay&submit=GO

I normally put in £10k actual monies on a day play from the lows , ie. 85k plus shares and have a constant hedge from the highs that are also played out and re installed when it is good to do so. CFD trading , hedging , lack of emotion but confidence of swings is what , imo , is what trading is all about. FC said a very valid point over the last few days , trading ftse is trading , trading aim is a gamble.

.... £1k will buy you c.8,500 shares under CFD (10% margin) at 115 and should give u c.£235+ profit if all is well , ie.3p gain to 118. Then chance a follow down to say 116 should net you another c.£150 , then leave in or not...either way , a £1k investment , imo , should net you a minimum of 25% per day.

...under cfd , they will not normally give credit , so just whack in a grand and , hopefully , enjoy.

... like it or not , will eventually bounce ,imo. Intraday trade it , whatever , but take profit as and when you can , ride it up and down , 2 accounts is best , long and short , but be in , jimo. FP , like HBOS and others is where longing and shorting pays. Many say that 2 sides of the coin equal out , imo , these and other stocks on the ftse pay to be in both ways.

....for me the account to have mainstay , TD Waterhouse as a hedging account.

... as said , c.115 is the buy in and , imo , long term is another game play , jimo , be in at c115.

... a certain day play , 110 is a certain no no , but if I had said 113 , it could be. I really enjoy FP.

... I like picking these up c.115 for a day play. Imo , if you want a mid term winner , FP has potential. In the interim , FP will give you 2.5% from 115 within a day or two and then fall back should dow / ftse sentiment persist , so another 2.5% if you are nimble. Regardless , FP SP will give you an instant 5% from the lows when the markets pick up and should not dive below 110 , imo. Lots of news comming out. Just remember I day play this stock , up and down but always re-invest profits on FP and consider FP to be a winner short term.
