So, you've had your two jabs, and you're booked on a cruise departing 15 October 2021. You can "rest assured" that no one who has had only one jab, or no jab, will be allowed to board.

However, a further ("booster"?) jab is rolled out on 1 October 2021. You're given a jab appointment in late October.

As you won't have been fully vaccinated by the date of departure, you won't be allowed to board, unlike someone who did manage to get his "booster" jab in time.

Is that right?

Simply Wall St are not known for accurate, in-depth analysis.

Adjusted EPS for DX for the current year is forecast to be around 1.5p, which implies an SP of 45p at the "sector PE of 30".

However, Clipper's PE is 36, and if DX merits similar, this would imply an SP of over 50p.

All I would say is that 40p+ is eminently achievable this year.

"Well they can certainly talk to the talk... can they walk the walk"

Very true, portswigger, but I don't think they would issue such a bullish RNS if the current year, ending in just a couple of months' time, was not going extremely well.

Obviously has implications for the next trading update: they can hardly be expecting to issue an underwhelming one after such a positive RNS.

Let's see if the SP responds...

Another 16.7k shares moved into ISAs.

We already know it's going to be another "modest adjusted loss" for the year just gone.

No doubt it will repeat its optimism about 2021/22. Will that be backed up by any substantive news though?

I think mid-May, except if they have some stunning news to bring us before then.

Useful background and discussion, thanks.

"They won't be asking for a vaccine passport. Just proof of having had 1 or 2 jabs."

Proof of jab is effectively a vaccine passport (according to the Florida Governor - and common sense).

No need to shut down, just abandon the idea of vaccine passports.

According to CNN, the Florida Governor signed an executive order last Friday prohibiting ANY BUSINESS from requiring a vaccine passport. I can't see how a shipowner could claim an exemption.

Maybe the ban on vaccine passports in Florida has put the cat amongst the pigeons, and is prompting a rethink by cruise lines.

18k shares moved to an ISA in order to shelter future gains from tax - a clear signal that the SP is expected to rise from here.

Confirms it was Gatemore who sold around 20m shares (more than 3%) last week. The question is, who was the purchaser? No RNS yet for that side of the deal.

Gatemore started selling at around 20p, so their track record on timing the market does not appear to be all that great.

KBYK - I see you've had no answer to your question...

I too have my sights set on mid 30s following the next update, which will hopefully be in May. Beyond that, it's more difficult to be precise, but certainly the expectation of a sale of the company at some point will help maintain investor interest.

Agreed, Chelsea. Healthy upside over the next 12 months without any significant downside, given its proven ability to thrive in the most challenging of circumstances, so eminently investable at current levels.

I wouldn’t get too excited: yesterday’s “flash in the pan” was not worth even one small beer.

To me, it was just an artificial ramp generated from tiny deals (less than £100k in total, from around 65 deals), and based on nothing of substance, which any one investor or small group of investors could engineer with limited funds, bearing in mind the small free float.

It offered no chance of disposing of a reasonable number of shares at a decent price, so although it’s not unwelcome to see the SP at, say, 17p rather than stuck at 15p - and maybe it will stay up there for a bit - it’s of no real relevance to decent long-term holders looking for a respectable exit.

When we do get a genuine, sustained upward movement based on real developments, reported or rumoured, regarding financial performance, major contracts, or M&A etc..…that’s when I’ll be cracking open the champagne.

I happen to believe that decent long-term holders like me WILL start to see light at the end of the tunnel this year - but based on tangible developments, rather than on some generalised statement about it being "in telematics".

"I can easily see a £180m mcap here". That's £3.60 a share!

As you're having difficulty buying, let me know how to get in touch, and I'll do a private deal with you at £1.80 a share, a 50% discount.

KBYK - Hedges participated in the 2018 placing to the tune of around 350k shares, ie basically as if still a director.

His % dropped from 5.75% only because of the large no of shares issued to Microlise.

He seems to have a lot of faith in the company - and he should know, more than any of us at least.

Do companies have any choice over their segment? In any case, it didn't seem to have any negative effect on Trak's SP when it soared to £3+.

port - the 20m and 21m transactions are also on the official London Stock Exchange website, so they are genuine (except there is no guarantee as to whether they were buys or sells). We await the RNS(s).

It's definitely put a spring in the step of the SP though: the very latest buys are at 32p.
