Great post Rr101!

But don't think you've missed out on TUI or AML. They were dead stocks to me (LTH) but both are have the nice rise that IAG is showing.

JTT's mum passed away on the 4th June... only then did I see what money was "in the pot" from the parents (so to speak) and it gave me confidence to go balls deep again.

JTT's dad said "if I was you at your age [JTT is 48], Id be taking loans out to max the upturn about to happen.

We won't do that, but I'm maxing out on RR, TUI, IAG, CCL.... Feb 2025 end date bro.

.... and if you look at that from a cat brain perspective (bigger than the human brain)... KewJosh will very likely NOT short RR come August 3rd.

You have to have those avenues open to understand the investor chaps....

"Last time, he was very lucky to have banking crisis happening a few days after his commitment which caused the SP to go down so that he could get out safely. This time is a pure madness with all those activities going on beyond the scene at RR."

You all know I'm a LTH since 2020, buying more on every opportunity I find up to that Feb 2025 sell time.

I've witnessed (as we all have) some bizarre ups and downs with RR over that time.

I'm just pointing out that I wouldn't put it past KewJosh to be correct again - he seems to call them right.

"Nah, no credit, he’s a prick… 50/50 prediction and gloats if he’s right for 5 minutes… Hope he shorts RR…"

That's kinda my language, but on this instance, I'll give him credit.

If it helps BB, I'm 50% down on TUI - horrible RI and payback of the covid loan.... so, if you care to take advice from a cat, I'm be balls deep in TUI now at £6 a share. It needs to get to £12 before I break even and I'm holding out for that so (and I'm not FCA approved) sell everything and buy TUI tomorrow! 6 months will make you some serious cash mate.

Sounds perfectly sensible to me (although not something I'm doing).

Any plans for the 50% funds?

Thing is chaps, KewJosh has a little bit of history to back up his ability to pick a stock at the right time to fall.

OK, we all saw it took longer for RR to fall than I guess even he expected last time around, but he made a tidy profit in the end.

He's in Babc@ck short at 383 and he divulged that at 393 SP, even posting on the Babc@ck board about credit ratings increasing the SP but (I'm guessing) he held firm and now BAB.l is at 375 a couple of days later.

So, although I (and many here) wouldn't dream about investing how KewJosh does, and we all know he likes to poke a bit of fun at LTH of any particular share, I say give the guy some credit and never say never.

If it burns for him, let's not jump on his back eh?

*IAG

Hey BB!

Hope you're good - CCL and AIG certainly moving in the right direction in a steady fashion (always prefer that slow rise).

Just need TUI to join the gang next week and it's a full house.

£7 close.

...that's more like it. Was everyone asleep this morning? 💤

Your call KewJosh, just let us know the SP you short at.

....and not before time I must add.... expected quite a lot more from this today....

Copied for future relevance.

Thanks for explaining. 👍

I can't see anything the market won't like.

"Record first half operating profit before exceptional items of €1,260 million (first half 2022: €446 million loss), an increase of €1,706 million, with sustained strong demand across our network and particular outperformance from our Spanish businesses"

Fudge me.

Relevant to RR through flying data:

"Record first half operating profit before exceptional items of €1,260 million (first half 2022: €446 million loss), an increase of €1,706 million, with sustained strong demand across our network and particular outperformance from our Spanish businesses"

It's worth reading the whole RNS - very impressive.

Why do you think he isn't sticking to it? The recent announcement was a legally obliged trading update, not Q or H results.

*RGBP.l I mean

Absolutely Svend.... recovery stocks looking very nice at the moment (AML.l and CCL.l my best today) but I think there are some bargains still be had out there (RBGB.l I punted on today)...... a fair few companies putting shaking investors when all they're doing is formalising plans to pay back debt....

Good time to find some gems me thinks.
