Nuri, indeed, this and IAG. How does it service debt? The companies are working for creditors for a decade if not more. Meanwhile the shares gets pushes up and down and down.
Holders beware imo.

with typos corrected-

Added a bit, if the sums tot up this may be the start of profitability despite the management.
Market has got to ignore the talk of fruition tomorrow as it has been going onfor years, long term holders will understand.
Funding for litigation is a positive . Millions has been wasted on losses that cannot be claimed despite of wins. As a not profit making company it cannot be afforded.
All costs to keep lights on, litigation, factory, expansion, purchase and commission of machinery has diluted share based and has been raised from new share issues.
Now hopefully patience of shareholders are due to be rewarded. ..profitability.

Purchases on wide spread is bullish sign. MM does that to slow momentum and to make a decent profit.

2m is a conditional debt!

Apologies not making it easy to read, just rattled away.

Jtan,
I still think weare in a general bear market, and this was a dead cat bounce, Ftse100 excepted as is oil/commodities weighted. I trade Ftse watching oil prices / Shell/ AAl. Shell /Bp has dropped as has ftse and I watched as oil gap got filled as ftse100 rallied, inthat scenario airlines willopen on optimism or climb but not sustained. Remember how hedging works, beyond that everything is a cost, so at this level is is an ever increasing cost so if ftse100 rallies downside is limited despite costs but if not (ftse100 falls), it affect much more I also do the same when trading IAG with inverse effect to a certain degree, oil has dropped 1$ in 30 minutes but overall still high.If i just landed from Spain the airport it looks busy but if i just landed at terminal 4 (just re-opened) which has just opened? I know it accomodated a lot of other airlines, squeezed into the other terminals whilst shut. Full picture, airport not full but full capacity now.
Looking at IAG balance sheet and debt (utterly huge, most co would be bust) like many other other others (international travel tui, SIA, Virgin,etc) it should be a penny sttock but is not but is supported by instutitions and friendly policy by institutions and govt govts (if indirectly), on the other the fact that it isn't is a testament. So do't dwell too hard but isa burden servicing it without other things getting in the way.Enough of negativity,it is currently above £1, arguably low but not cheap. If the clouds disappear it has potential. Look at the share price and let others guestimate the finances as I know 50% in the public domain and 50% is guesswork. I just look at charts, far easier, if it bounces I will if I can buy toride it , if it bounces hard, I am afraid I will go against it. However in future if the picture clears, sooner or later, I may change my mind.
I suggest not being here watching every tick, enjoy your life, don't add as it seems you are in quite a lot, never mind if you miss a 10% bounce inrecovery to get in, you may be more re-assure.
Have a good week. I too had many sleepness nights learning and still am learning. Take care everyone.

pqrden my types, I think you can figure it out.

Jtan,
I feel for you, so I thought i would puld pen to paper/screen. It is not manipulation, it is the market, If you hear what I said about trend...
I am not invested here but to be honest, I was looking short any spike but done neither. I an trading other things, long indicies and now out having gone short ans sould out so am looking to chill for a bit with a beer/film before coming back, been lucky so far bur I will cut losses (remember).UK is oil/co,mmodities and so watch oil price live.
Please go and have a beer or do something you enjoy and have some away from this. It is not healthy for you.
There is no conspiracy (ok maybe just a tiny bit :)), just a cumulative of the market
exacerbate ( when it is bullish..ultra, bearish same, when it flows it floods)
Do not listen to the fag packet calculations,,, mostly optimistically incorrect as all by holders so biased and lacking real facts. Follow the money/market (stock)
Take care, stay cool.

Yes Jtan7, not 6 :-)
Agree, a profit is a profit.
I too struggle with discipline big time.

pardon my typo....have a good weekend everyone.

Jtan, it is not that the shorts has to winnow I have a bit of time to write. After I closed my Ftse100 shorts this am after market opened, albeit a bit late after 6 bounces (should have done it yesterday or pre-market opening). I have been averaging and when the last of my 9 averages turned red, I closed them all. That is quite common in my trading. Bear market rallies can be aggressive caused by short squeezes and buying. I then bought long Ftse100 for a trade not expecting such a rally and watched a netflix film and a glass of beer and wine :-), I only expected the next resistance to go and the following holding as did not watch v closely or add. Next resistance could be the 100 day moving average of 6350 thereabouts. See if it gets there or not, if it does IAG will bounce but I am unlikely to buy (I may get greedy for a quick trade though ) as it would be against trend.
As with IAG a couple of weeks ago i was trying to average my short in higher but unable, nevertheless i was able at a lower price. Last 3 days it was unavailable to be shorted. IMO selling has broght it down and shorts has got more aggressive, there is also a serious lack of buying too.
Normally I would buy IAG long as ftse bounces but held off as I saw no buying, market seems to reflect my sentiment with potential bad news around the corner (market hates uncertainty). Maybe better opportunities elsewhere. If there are positive outcomes, we could see a squeeze....otherwise.....
Try to buy into the trend you want with the assurance, if your timing is wrong there is a good possibility ofit coming back in your favour when the trend resumes. If you go against, it could go against you. Try and ignore the noise and be influenced by othere as it does not affect share price, only £ buying and sell does.
I am travelling long haul and numbers has picked up but not full to Asia and prices has gone up 300+% but I only expect marginal profits for various reasons.
I hope it gives an insight to help you or anyone.
Happy investing.

Jtan, Yes I stopped before when it hit a support and bounced up, I simply took profits and closed. I don't want a profit turning into losses. All about opinions imo. It will bounce when it wants to or recover, meanwwhile the trend remains till it stops , nr major supports. All depends on your strategy. Calling bottom is bottomless. If i decide to buy, never mind if i miss the bottom as trend reverses (quick or long term trade)as if i make on the way down too, all about trying to make a profit.
>Monkeys
I thought you stopped shorting cos you saw more upside than down lol, not cos you couldn't.

I have not, i am quite transparent. I closed my short for a small profit, and was looking to re-short on the bounce.
A rally do not always mean shorts burn as some touted. Some will and some will hold for longer annd some will close on a shorts queeze. Same as longs.
I will try trade as i see it, trying to be even viewed, if a bear stock will remainbear for a while. Most of all, let the trend be your friend and do not fall in love with a stock, it is merely a share price....news, market, sentiments and ££ will affect/move it. Good luck.

As with regards to the other stocks, yes Boo is shortable currently. All depends on availabily imo

I have been trying to short up to yesterday. A couple of weeks ago same when i tried adding, today it is still unavailable. I am leaving it for now. System says so.
My guess is that no stocks are available easily, some other companies who holds may have some available. Justmy opinion.
Currently I have no position.

I guess it depends on the platforms and the relationships they have access to borrow. All IMO

for a few days, and intermittently for a short while. Not knowing the reason,but at a guess it could be the funds taking all the available loan stock.
Just to inform you all.

I sometimes trade via the UT process too, nothing sinister, just an auction to balance trades bor buyers and sellers to get together in one big trade.

Wanna, UT is just simply matching up buy and sell orders. If you are desperate to sell just enter a lower price and vice versa, and the volumes on bid/offers are matched up. If more sellers, it UT lower and ifmore buyers UT higher.

to sell just enter a low
