The irony of Contrarian calling people losers.

He's not invested in ITV but is obsessed with abusing people and adds no value to the chat.

Why am I invested in ITV? - because I think it's under valued and it pays me +9% divi.

Oh dear Contrarian, I wondered how long it would take for you to crawl out from your rock.

I'm very happy - sitting on a very healthy profit.

No plans to sell anytime soon.

A little disappointed in the size of today's rise, but things looking up.

I always thought the studios would be sold first, the fact it looks like it will be the tv business is a massive bonus.

I’ve not checked in on this board for a while and surprise surprise Contrarian is still raging. For someone with no investment in itv I find him very odd.

Do you think we should all club together and buy him a dog? I think he needs a new hobby beyond ranting about itv.

Everyone is entitled to pursue their own investment strategy. Only time will tell who was right.

But please Contrarian give it a rest you’re not adding any value to this board.

Not invested then! Thanks for being so considerate and caring about others. But I think I’ll take my chances rather than listen to mr angry.

Contrarian - you sound an angry / frustrated individual! Do you have to be so aggressive? My average buy in is below 70p and I’m enjoying the divi return. It’s ok if people have different strategies. Relax. Are you invested in ITV or just a keyboard angry warrior?

Not great numbers but not sure results justify 8% share price decline.

What’s everybody’s thoughts?

Looks like a buying opportunity to me.

I would expect a rise in so ahead of share going ex divi 30ty Oct.

Has anyone got a suggestion why the sp has jumped today?

Appreciate it's only +3% but that's a healthy bounce considering recent performance.

Trading update is 15th May

Results tomorrow!

Howe ære people feeling?

I guess the main interest will bet around the business believes it will be able to increase prices to cover NI change.

Would also be good to hear Germany is now cash positive.

The share price has very slowly been recovering from its lows - lets hope tomorrow gives it a hike up!

Costa posted an operating loss last year. Appreciate the profit was good the year before but they have a lot of challenges.

I believe Germany will eventually become a lucrative market for WTB - I certainly wouldn't be writing it off just yet. Still in the investment phase.

All will become clear end April when prelim results announced.

If the business can show it has been able to pass increased costs onto customers and its German estate has turned a +ve operating profit / or no longer loss making this share could move upwards quickly.

I appreciate there's a lot of big ifs there!

Not been on this chat group for a while. Looks like all the optimism from a few weeks back has long disappeared.

Jungle was the rerate you were talking about yesterdays 13% drop?

This happens so many times.

They pay (I believe) for a little publicity from the roast boys - generates some publicity - share price jumps but quickly retreats.

A rising share price was short lived.

Now watch it fall.

Same old story.

If talks were really going well and it had leaked this would already have multi bagged from its recent lows.

Look at where the share pice has been in the past.

We've been here multiple times before.

You've been warned!

But I won't complain if I'm wrong. Like I say - be prepared to lose whatever you put in.

JungleVIP - this has played out like this before. This is nothing new. It's actually been through this hype cycle multiple times.

Fortunately I've not lost much but wouldn't want people getting their hopes up.

Warning! I've been stuck in this share for years. Have written the value off.

This company has a history of promising lots but never delivering. I would take all new information with a very very large pinch of salt.

The only thing this company has ever delivered is fanciful reports and predictions...but never delivered anything.

But who knows. Maybe this is the start of something big...but I doubt it.

Be prepared to lose whatever you put in.

Sorry to be a kill joy.

Good to see the quality of this chat group goes from strength to strength.

Anyone know why the sp has slipped a bit lately?

I did sell a few to bank some profit recently but still sitting on a fair few.

Just trying to understand what's happening!

I agree quality of the analysis of the itv business is poor on here and the it’s always the same few people posting with limited insight. I will keep looking in occasionally but won’t hold my breath for anything ground insights. Unfortunately it’s the same on most chat groups these days. People being brave from their laptops just criticising others. I guess with political bully’s like Trump and Farage that’s the new norm. Sadly UK stocks are going to struggle - labour have inherited a conservative mess. Boris and successive Conservative leaders proved to be incompetent . As for Farage - leaving the EU - has been the biggest contributing factor in the economic decline of the UK - along with political incompetence. God help me if he’s the answer. Funny how he blames everyone else for negotiating poor trade deals and wants to tie the UK economy to his mate Trumps mood swings - as if Farage could have done better. All the political parties are a shambles. I’ve never voted Labour but I do at least feel they are trying to change things for the right reason - not just in it for themselves. If Farage wanted what would best for the country he would be having constructive conversations with the tories about uniting. They would still just be in it for themselves. In my opinion the country needs a new party - with people with business and real world experience who don’t just play to the cameras. Reduce the number of MPs, pay them more, make the lords and elected body and ban foreign contributions to political parties. And finally ban foreign businesses from owning uk newspapers - they have their own agenda. They don’t give a stuff about the uk. Rant over. And Mcall to leave.

WimbledonTom - I think we all know who was dropped on their head at birth.
