Bizarre idea that somehow current holders will get a discount on these shares or they get sold of cheaply to' sid' , the govt. want the best price - so surely the only way forward is that natwest commit to a buyback of these shares and then cancel them ?
When I worked for Nokia in the early 00'sour target factory price for a 3210i was 30 Euro - with the screen being the most expensive item at 3 Euro.....we thought phones were expensive then - I dont think they will ever get too expensive to buy..
I sold my reasonably large holding a fewmins ago at around break evem as I was on a reasonable loss a few months ago - I still beleive in GG- but I think it will drift down a little further on no news... I will defo be back in if we see 7 - 7.5 p
Last one for me too - I beleive the door would 'always' be in on the 9 regardless of the class the airline was operating - otherwise they could not reconfigure the plane easily - with the fusalage stretch i just think the door is now in inconvient position so its not used ( too close to wing or engine) - so they simply blank it off. This is modern maufacturing - the fuselage is 'standard' with doors in it for the 7 - when they stretch - the fusalage plugs for the 8 and then 9 version probably have door positions in the plugs and the old door position is blanked off... Im still buying on monday if it comes down 5-10% ;_) have a nice weekend all.
Rogue, you are right about it being an unused door position - you can clearly see the unused door hinges in the footage on BBC site. I would assume the door postions change depending on where they stretch the fusalage between the 8 and 9 versions. Its pretty serious regardless though - whatever mode it failed in
Mike - you ought to do some checking yourselve before posting - the only difference between the 8 and 9 is length of the fusalage - the are built in an identical way. If a composite panel has failed where it seems to be joined to others then its pretty serious for boeing - I work in the aircraft/composites industry and this may be a tough issue to find and fix. However, this may be down to either a manafacturing issue (big problem for whole fleet) or this aircraft may have suffered previous damage and had a repair ( service truck hitting the plane for example) - it does look like an unusual size of panel that has failed - and failed in a very clean way.. Wwe wont know until the sirfcraft is inspected - but i cant see TUI or any airline taking the risk of having passengers injured until the question is answered . Its not panicking - its common sense.. I expect the share to take a knock on Monday and I will be topping up
Only good thing is that we are in winter and less issue than summer hol season and TUI will be able to lease planes or sub contract out the flights - still a pain though when we are in a recovery with this share.. may be good buying oppertunity to buy monday - it will be oversold as usual
