That falling trend line has been there for a long time now and currently resides at about 5p. Once this is breached we should be game on for 9p and start the real climb. I'm hoping for that by end of Feb. Any sooner I'll be a happy man. Think it'll properly take off as some tangible info starts landing. Looking forward to what the future brings

Good luck all

I've actually queried LSE about this and following a rather blase response, and a request for someone more senior to substantiate properly, they continued to ignore my emails.i therefore take with a pinch of salt

I think 02 have 34 million UK customers based on what I just looked at so 20 X this number. Great news

What makes you think this mrH?

Are you really short?? Come on, time to fess up

Merry Christmas boys! Here we go!!!

Lots of people definitely suffered. I just needed long enough to reduce a position but market dropped so far and so quick that it cut me out automatically for a 28k loss. Extremely painful. I went in big on Friday as I felt as though rolls had enough on the downside and copped it. I've had lots of positive experience too though and as a spread betting person for the same reasons you mentioned yourself, id just day keep reading. Read as much as you possibly can and you wil find your own rythm. One thing I've found is that using other people's strategies doesn't work for me. Good luck

* apologies - I mean that this will only go one way once the deal is finalised........not announced..

Interesting optimist - with consideration of your comments regarding market cap. You're right squiring companies do drop on announcements of acquisitions and I've been pondering this one accordingly. I'm by no means an experienced investor but my understanding is that share price drops for the squiring company because the purchase is normally at a premium to the existing value of the acquired company, and secondly because of any detrimental impact on liquidity, capital, dilution if there's a find raise etc etc. In this case I believe only one of those is applicable as limited debt is being incurred for the purchase, debt is being written off as part of the exchange of shares, and therefore dilution becomes the only issue. Further to this, I believe it to be rare where the aquiring company manages to increase turnover so dramatically as part of the deal. I therefore personally think that once this share price will only go one way once the deal is announced. Happy to be corrected wherever applicable and thought I'd put my 2pence worth in for some constructive discussion. The most painful thing for me is the possibility of having to wait until June for them to be obliged to submit any accounting info for the last 6 months, as I believe that this would go some way to helping boost the share price and fear that share price may continue to languish until this is published. I am hopeful however for the future and look forward to seeing what's coming. I must say I'm also glad that I wasn't part of those buying at 18p and completely understand the huge frustrations of so many people. Shareholder communication is certainly not great. Hopefully this will improve too as they have more to report. Good luck all

I'm hoping that this will add urgency to the vaccination roll out too! And agree that this will do little to change things fundamentally

Hopefully plenty of good news to keep things from imploding but the 5+m sells after hours in Friday is only going to add to the pain too. Hoping that I'm just being a doom-monger and that I'm pleasantly surprised on Monday

Markets open back up at 11pm Sunday I think and they'll then settle into a pattern based on futures markets. I'd suspect that they'll be up based on latest vaccine news and generally the EU and UK markets will follow suit (loosely speaking). I think UK going to be having a tough day any which way but if the US market is pointing to an upward day on Monday morning, hopefully it'll take the edge off a bit. If it's pointing down, we'll be looking at a worse day.

Hope that makes sense..

Fingers crossed for a brexit thumbs up and that the markets are kind to us all. Only thing in our favour is that UK continues to lag the rest of EU. hopefully that might help take the edge off of the downside slightly, and fingers crossed that the positive news around moderna vaccine, EU approval of Pfizer will help limit the pain. Just when it seemed that rolls had enough on the downside.

I think it's time to brace for a big hit on Monday. Weekend FTSE dropped 0.9% since the announcement. Gina be a tough week

Ignoring the 20m uncrossing trade, all them other big sells are a tad concerning. let's hope next week brings good news . I'm hoping someone may be able to offer a better insight into the volumes and direction of the trades recorded on the LSE website. So I've lots of comments about buys registering as sells and other people ridiculing it etc etc and found that price action didn't appear to match the trades going through on another investment which is much smaller (melody VR - another story). In short, throughout the entire trading day I tracked the total volumes of buys and sells and it didn't even come close to correlating with the price action overall for the day. I contacted LSE about this and basically got fobbed off with it is what it is kind of explanation and they refused to elevate it to a higher level to proper substantiation. I know this is a difficult thing to comment on but if anyone does have spoken technical knowledge that they'd be happy to share I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry for the long post .

Good luck all

Looking like its holding up OK considering the FTSE drop since the US opened. Fingers crossed this is supporting the end of the downtrend.

Apologies *Oxford teased to be rolled out for January

Europan advisory board meets on monday to recommend the drug for use (or not) to the EMA. I'd therefore expect EU approval of Pfizer jab on Tuesday or Wednesday. Moderna in USA has meeting today to review FDA findings but this should be a repeat of the Pfizer Approval. Therefore expect formal approval on Monday.

Other Vaccine approvals TBC but Oxford vaccine has been teased to be rolled out for by Chris Whitty (although more speculative), so i suspect that some news will come between now and new year

GLA

great news! thanks Dtrade. lets hope the roll out of rapid testing starts carrying some real weight with air traffic. All of this continues to add to the confidence of people travelling - and having the confidence to start booking things now for the months to come regardless of vaccine implementation.

GLA

hang in there if you can. EU pfizer approval expected any day as is news on oxford vaccine approvals. Moderna vaccine also about to be rolled out across US. It's all pointing to a positives. Just needs that bump to get it moving back up with any momentum. lets just hope we get a bit of breathing space today and hold back up at 116

Good Luck All
