What a reaction from these European countries. The same ones who couldn't even manage to get their orders in for the vaccine. It will pass but how lucky are we to not be part of these muppets in the EU. It will pass and IAG will again head north.

A lot will be said about the integrity of the board if any bonuses are paid out at a time they have made a 4b loss. Was this announced today.

They simply cannot deliver a consistent message and the share suffers on constant mixed messages.

Markets have probably assessed the position the company is in. Lets hope for some kind of a bounce but since it highs last week it lost 20%.

Not on the group but just read this.

Hedge fund chaired by GB News investor shorting ITV: A hedge fund chaired by an investor in the Right-leaning TV network GB News has made a £33.00 million bet against ITV.

Hopefully they will get burnt and lose it all.

Card Factory seeks rescue funds to survive pandemic: Card Factory has called in restructuring experts from Deloitte to help raise fresh funds to see the retailer through the pandemic.

What spooked the markets this afternoon.

Does anyone know how many hedge fund are
shorting card factory at present. I do hope they get burnt.

Not sure why this fell off rails. How long did it take to get above 1.15 and how quickly did the hedge fund fkers and institutions take to kick the share back. Finished under 1.04 adter hours. What the fk. Again they manipulate the share price and believe its OK but as soon as they get kicked they shout foul. Just hope another gamestop comes around soon to lose them billions again on stocks they are short selling hoping for shares to fall.

Hope for a bounce. No reason not to continue to rise

Huge drop in price. What happened

BT up over 6% . Vodafone barely stayed blue
A tale of 2 companies so similar but from an investment perspective so far apart at present . Lets hope they can catch up soon

I was in at 1.85 years ago and kept. I kept buying in as they dropped and now only 20p off breakeven. I'll be out if I can break even. Too much uncertainty still but what a ride Bit like watching Royal mail, IAG and hallfords. Just a few more days please

If the FTSE drops again this is going to tank. Lets hope it can stay blue and hope for another few good days by the FTSE advancing. It hasn't hope otherwise. Just one of those out of favour stocks.

You are correct the FTSE has been a dogs breakfast for a long time. Just look at companies. Now it looks like Morrisons will go down and Dr Martin take its place. Until such time where Britian has serious companies with real growth opportunities this will continue. At least vodagone is staying up for now. Lets hope it can have a good day and see blue at the end. Given its current price one would expect long term growth

Let's just hope it can do better than it currently is today. Get the feeling that if the FTSE comes off highs this will head red again and that its only the FTSE popping it up. Fingers crossed that it has bottomed out and moves north. Certainly one of the out of favour stocks right now but that can quickly change

A good start. Just hope the FTSE keeps moving up

Bring on 4.30pm and close the markets. Not much saving this from tanking day in and day out..

Re market manipulation next some will be saying that banks are honest credible and have integrity. The only difference is that banks have been found out for how they will do anything required to protect bonuses and if that included Libor rigging it dosent matter. Sell useless PPI insurance and its OK. Of course the big financial players will do all they can to win.

Of course I am not comparing both but the fundamental of market manipulation by hedge funds is the same. The big players have all the tools and methods to impact the share direction.
The FTSE 100 is a weak index. In fact when the dow tends to rise the FTSE does not at the same rate but when it falls as today it falls much more. . Just look at the current falls. The DOW is down .3% and the FTSE is sinking fast down almost 2%. Its not appealing to other countries hence not being bought into. This is why collectively its lagging in recovery to other indexes. As for vodafone I am holding so clearly would like this to at least see blue but its being sold off fast. It can turn around quickly and I hope it does but its not looking bright at present and is currently a crap share to be holding.

Just watch the senate hearing into Gamestop and draw conclusions. Research short ladder attacks. Of course they have the upper hand
