Remember what I said. You have been given another chance by fate.

One more thing. You say November 3rd. You better worry about Wizzair surviving until then. Because right now, as far as airlines are concerned, we're facing something more like a repeat of the 1970s oil crisis. And the entire world, including EU authorities, is already talking about the dramatic situation in the aviation fuel market. So,let me know, will Wizzair go bankrupt, be taken over, or scale back its operations, becoming just another penny stock share on the London Stock Exchange??

MadMat - Another fool with no clue about politics, no idea about how impeachment works in America, probably considering Republicans as idiots who would allow such a situation and offended by Trump's behavior, which he believes is destroying his investment portfolio. But, but, but .... as soon as Trump will fart and after that Wizzair shares will go up, he suddenly reveals himself, like most here, to be his admirer...

And again, prayers, without a shred of realism. That's why I get satisfaction when such people lose their capital. And the reality? Tomorrow we'll see which of these "investors" still have money left and who will dare to buy Wizzair shares, even at today's closing price. "The shaman's wind summoning" doesn't cause a storm. Today was the end of the month and the end of the quarter, and the closing prices lot of shares determined the level of quarterly bonuses awarded in many investment companies, as well as how rich this year's Easter will be. In the meantime, we have deepened the multi-year low in the share price. Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. Let's hope this day doesn't turn out to be a cause for tears. And then we have a long holiday weekend, a time of reflection, free from stock market quotations and giving the US Army's ground rapid reaction force a chance to finish the Iran issue. Without worrying about rising or falling stock prices. I'm curious to see what mood we'll be in next Tuesday when we have to assess the market's developments over the past few days. I agree with one thing on the Iranian side: Trump is suggesting a quick end to the conflict, meaning "buy stocks," which, to me, means "sell and get out of the market as quickly as possible." In any case, I'm siding with Trump in the coming days, because only the US securing full control over Iranian oil revenues will break this regime and allow this war to end. Everything else will be added to the "oil" pie.

Bobbins2, you're right. I didn't want to bring this up, but on Tuesday we might wake up to a different reality at LSE. I hope the US ground forces achieve their goals and don't get beaten, because then it won't end with Tuesday's shock.

Do you see a difference in the performance of Wizzair shares changes compared to other companies in the sector? Are you looking for the reason? Have you already forgotten how Wizzair's management treated its largest shareholders, how it treated their voices of reason at successive general meetings? Have you forgotten that large, stable, long-term shareholders have been selling their shares for months, and only a small amount of speculative capital has taken their place? And today you're surprised by the decline in the share price and the over 16% short positions, representing over £150 million, betting on the company's price decline. Ridiculous. Just like when some of you here mocked the large institutional investors who were leaving Wizzair one by one. Today, this investors should stabilizing the Wizzair' share price, but their departure laid the foundation for the current downward trend.

One more thing.

I'm amused by the naivety of all people here, who trust the posts of local shamans and "investors" describing their purchases of Wizzair shares, of course at local price troughs and though sometimes they don't manage to announce a sale before the stock price starts falling again, they always make a profit. At the same is when they are talking about the size of their financial capital. In my opinion, this is another fraud and attempted manipulation by people who either bet own money against market positions (which they officially recommended) or derive satisfaction from others' financial losses. This practice isn't limited to this forum. Want to be transparent? Post screenshots of your transactions if you're bragging about them or encouraging others to invest similarly. Then no one will call you a liar or a troll looking for gullible listeners. Look at mee. I always do this when I describe my activities in various discussion forums. Otherwise, you are just a stinking troll and a liar to me.

And one more thing. If we may, let's talk about the demand for air travel. I suggest everyone check the prices and occupancy of flights starting from the second half of April, after Easter and up to the end of September. I remember what it was like exactly a year ago. And the truth is, consumers are only just beginning to feel the impending gigantic increase in the cost of living. I wish you strong reflection.

I'll just repeat what I've said many times: "... anyone who warns the visionaries behind Wizzair's actions is considered a troll. A bunch of ignorant and foolish people have decided they can deceive the market and their destiny.... " I suggest taking a close look at the share price chart: from over 5,000 pence in 2020 to current valuations. My first negative comments and assessments have been appearing here for several years, although before that, the risk was much lower and profits could be made from periodic price changes. In any case, comparing prices, even over the past year, it's impossible to lie about who was right. And you should get hope that my very realistic pessimistic scenario does not come true

Due to the impending general economic downturn, as well as the likely impending recession, I advise all long-term private investors in ITV shares to take this into account. I also advise them to adjust their price expectations, as well as those regarding the Comcast deal. In my opinion, the current international situation is causing a sudden change in attitudes towards any type of merger or acquisition. Therefore, as far as Comcast is concerned, this deal will be finalized very quickly or postponed for at least another six months. This is, of course, just my opinion, but one must be realistic in this area. The current situation hitting the world's economy has and will continue to have in the future a significant negative impact on the financial situation and profit levels of both ITV and Comcast. Publicly traded companies (especially American ones) are very sensitive to any spending, choosing limiting and cutting expenses during periods of financial's danger, based on predictable shareholder reactions. So let's hope that the matter will be finalized in the coming weeks, knowing that the external market may destroy these predictions.

All the best for the real ITV long term shareholders.

How this reality is still a mystery to those present.??

It was clearly known that, as a result of this conflict, fuel prices would rise sharply, its availability would decline, and airlines would begin generating losses and be forced to scale back their operations. It was predicted that those with high fixed costs, including interest, maintenance costs for unused fleet, parking fees, and airport base fees, and finally, personnel costs (these are difficult to cut, as laying off staff today would be suicidal when the aviation market begins to recover), would suffer the largest and most painful losses. Add to this shortsighted savings policy that did not secure long-term contracts for the price of aviation fuel and still large long-term debt most of the air carrier sector. All of this is a recipe for collapse. The amount of cash on hand is irrelevant. Given the current scale of daily losses, this money will burns through very quickly. And the truth is, the greatest losses in this sector are yet to come. We're facing a reduction in flights, combined with compensation for cancelled flights and a loss of carrier's prestige. We'll also have to reduce orders for new aircraft and staff, resulting in a reduction in the scale of our operations. This will be compounded by a sharp rise in ticket prices, which, along with reduced demand, will further impact airlines' bottom lines. Let me also remind you that fuel shortages or fuel prices are not legal excuses for avoiding the need to pay compensation for canceled flights. Wizzair's long-term financial situation is starting to look dire. Annual profits have turned into projected losses of over €300 million. And that's just based on data for the second half of March. If the war lasts another month (because we'll see oil prices return to around $80 per barrel maybe after another 9-12 months and only them petrochemical production levels meeting demand), these losses will at least double. As I said, all of this was very easy to predict. However, anyone who warns the visionaries behind Wizzair's actions is considered a troll. A bunch of ignorant and foolish people have decided they can deceive the market and their destiny. You ignorants can deduce now for yourself how Wizzair's share price will behave, especially when most airlines find themselves in a similar situation. This the long-term situation won't be saved by periodic speculative attempts to boost Wizzair's share price. My optimistic forecast for December 2026 is a price in the 700-800 pence range. It's best not to mention the pessimistic version. Let me just remind you that just a few months ago, I wrote here that I would never include shares in this sector in my retirement portfolio.

Iran. ITV and the FIFA World Cup in the USA. Comcast and SKY deal.

The tense situation in Iran, rising airfare prices and indirect costs for fans, and US visa restrictions (for both fans and national team members) are, contrary to appearances, good news for ITV. They mean an increased role for direct television coverage, which will likely result in a shift of some advertisers' funds towards this direction. The primary threats remain the possibility of the World Cup being canceled, postponed, or threatened by terrorists during its duration. However, the first two, i.e. cancellation or postponement, are unlikely (if only because they are not held only in the USA, but also because of the decline in American prestige in such a case and we should not forgetting about the costs. So, despite fears, this championship will probably be a financial success for ITV. It is difficult to predict whether and how it will affect the ITV share price, as the market will take into account concerns about Iran in its valuations. However, in the long term, even after a sharp decline, we should return to at least the current price levels. The agreement with SKY, which I believe is essential, at least for Comcast, means 35-50 pence extra growth per ITV share, which we should immediately see in the valuation. The separation of STUDIO will attract a large group of institutional and individual investors to the ITV shares, with speculative capital at the forefront. So, despite the general pessimism associated with the market situation caused by the outbreak of the war with Iran, and the medium-term threat of a price decline, even to around 60 pence, I think the long-term picture is better than the share price rally suggests. This doesn't mean that fresh capital isn't finding better-priced and less risky short-term investments. In fact, I'll probably treat my private new ISA limit after April 6th this year that way.

I'm trying to keep my emotions in check for tomorrow. As I wrote, on the dividend record date, I expect ITV's valuation to be around 75 pence per ITV share. What will happen next, with the escalating conflict with Iran, the upcoming US land action (I think nothing will be resolved without it and it's inevitable), and without clear declarations regarding the Comcast deal—I prefer not to make predictions, although it may be difficult time for the ITV shares price.

All the best for the real long term ITV shareholders

Therefore, I suggest a little more thought and restraint in your comments. I advise focusing on the impact of the current situation on Wizzair shares. I advise accepting potentially negative financial forecasts, and certainly negative rating changes, and at least a decline in revenue generated over the next three quarters this year.

I'm not opposed to a short-term investment in Wizzair. Once the situation calms down, clarifies, and improves, Wizzair shares will have significant potential. Then I'll probably try to capitalize on my opportunity. However, currently, owning their shares is damaging our financial capabilities, and the potential reward of dynamic growth won't rebuild the value of our portfolios.

Today, we are also paying the price for the West's inherent weakness, basing its security solely on the military potential of the United States, while the entire democratic Europe and the UK limited their military potential and military spending at that time. Instead, we were served the mindlessly pursued "green policies" which led to the destruction of industry, its reliance on external imports and external energy sources. And the point isn't the unreasonableness of such economic policy, but rather its pace, which isn't based on maintaining the own economic capabilities. Let's realistically assess how the UK's entire industry and military power have been destroyed in this area over the last 20 years, making us dependent on external producers of oil and gas, and destroying heavy industry. Today, we export thousands of tons of waste and import steel from countries that don't respect "green solutions," which our politicians proudly call ecology. Basing the policy on lies rather than real change isn't just Trump's political domain. You don't have to support Trump to understand the purpose and reasons for at least some of his actions. Looking at politics through the prism of one's own wallet will never reveal the truth.

No offense, but discussing politics, the expected future of this war, or the internal situation in Iran is once again the stuff of absolute amateurs, if not idiots. It's akin to daydreaming and dreaming about the current or future performance of Wizz Air shares. Therefore, I advise you to read serious analyzes from the end of last year or mid-2025, those unbiased by political bias or the already-erupted armed conflict. The conclusions from these reports were unequivocal: Iran's militarization was increasing, threatening the entire region, and there was no real chance of regime change due to the lack of political or military forces (aside from the Kurds) that could challenge the Ayatollahs'. Iran "could - or was supposed to" become a potential aggressor in the region within a year to a year and a half, and the necessary concentration of NATO forces lasting up to three months condemned countries like Qatar and Bahrain to fast military collapse and economic losses that would be irreversible for decades. I'll repeat this once again: regardless of our personal stance on Israel or Trump, his actions were necessary. And he's currently doing the dirty work for all of us. The political games and negotiations conducted for years in the region, as with Russia, failed to produce the desired results. Instead, they provided time for economic and military preparations for armed conflict.
