Next announcement (interim) on 7th March 3.82% dividend yield (based on 8p+4p in 2007 and price at 314p)

I read the article and while it is interesting, it does not really help B.A. Airbus say that they expect air travel to continue increasing but the article also points at emerging economies providing most of this growth. It is, of course, easier and safer to fly in Brazil, China or India than it is to use the roads. This is reminiscent of the places where cell phone networks boomed without there ever having been fixed lines. "Standing on the shoulders of giants", such places skip stages of development. I do not see how B.A. can benefit much from this increase.

You are probably right, common sense says you are right but there is little sense and much panic. If DOW does okay, there will be realisation that this was oversold today but if it doesn't you may find this is rather flat, or worse, tomorrow.

Just seems a bit sad and the noiser-uppers can easily follow over, you S P E L L E D out where you are!

so tawdry

The fund manager Standard Life Investment said yesterday that its ethical funds would no longer invest in airline stocks.

good buying volume

spike up to 333p

JDW takes a beating while MAB, with its finances in disarray, does comparatively well?

.

10% since I wrote my little piece! :o)

the market is realising that this group pre-empted the smoking ban and used that headstart to make some changes to their business including putting more emphasis on breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as tea and coffee. They are very good for real ale and even cater to our thirsty Eastern European workforce by offering delicious beers from Poland et cetera. Their supply chain and purchasing power are a great advantage. I think that JDW will do very well through any economic downturn as they are pretty cheap - people will still drink but may economise. For proof of their competitive pricing - local landlords are generally terrified when JDW announce that they are opening a venue. When the UK emerges into a period of new growth the buildings JDW has, and any others they've picked up on the cheap, will cause this share to rise nicely.

"In parliament yesterday the shadow chancellor, George Osborne, pointed out that Alliance & Leicester had borrowed at 7% to raise finance. Northern Rock is likely to be able to borrow at closer to 5% because of the government guarantee. This gilt-edged backing could also mean that any bonds issued by Northern Rock will be more attractive to investors, making it even harder for other mortgage players to raise funds, and easier for Northern Rock to rehabilitate itself."

under £15

around 1540 now

yeah

Is this too much? Will LSE continue down some more?

I don't know AU.

I found it in the company info section on TDWH, dates relating to last period. I think this share is great value and that the modest rise today is not strongly related to the div. There is a lot of foreign interest at this low price with certain buyers building up quite a stake. Some say that the assets are worth twice the current price which has spent the last two months between 900 and 950 after it dropped £2 from 1050 during the sub-prime nonsense.

is today. payment in 1 month.
