And as a reminder at a later date

11:24 and we have 1210.4

Buying shares in the hope of a rebound with a gigantic trading volume at 11.10am at the level of almost 4 million shares, at least for me, is evidence of total stupidity. The risk of buying shares does not compensate for potential losses. In this case, it is certain that the levels of this year's lows will be broken, and for me the price level of 900 - 1000 has become quite real. Today's price level, which will probably be below 1280 pence, will remain a gigantic resistance level for a very long time due to the volume. Additionally, it is clear that the shares are most likely sold by large players. Its breakout will have to be associated with both very good financial information flowing from the company and from the market environment. Any larger, purely speculative movements will encounter a huge supply. But this is of course only my personal assessment.

Ups..

Apparently no, in my opinion.

As I wrote earlier, ITV shares are on vacation. Apparently so, in my opinion. After a period of shaking shares from the most determined owners, also using a false signal of a breakout of the trend channel (with potential consequences of reaching the price of 72 pence), I think we will see a completely opposite situation in the next few trading sessions. So I predict an increase in the price of ITV shares to the level of at least 81 pence, with an increase in volume, with large fluctuations in the price of shares in individual sessions suggesting a short-lived rebound. As usual, this is to serve to take shares from "hot hands". It will also allow for buying shares sold by short players. Will it end like last time, i.e. a repeat of the fun - I do not predict that. One thing is for sure - at some point short holders will cry and short-term players buying ITV shares for a quick resale will also grit their teeth.

Patience is a key of the success.

I fully agree with your point of view. Many people do not want to remember that everything is business, and it requires concentration and, above all, silence. Because we are talking about really big money and a decision that will cause specific repercussions on the market and in the industry. Because it entails the necessity for other players to adapt to it, who must at that moment take specific steps regarding their own business. Finally - because apart from the issue of the secrecy of negotiations, there are legal restrictions, and any leak here can really hurt. Because in such cases the regulator looks very closely at the hands of players discussing mergers or acquisitions and concerning public companies listed on the stock exchange. This should probably also be understandable. As for me, as I wrote once before, time is running in favor of ITV and the valuation of STUDIO. The coming 6-18 months should show a significant increase in generated revenues and profits. And this, just on a purely mathematical basis, should bring an increase in valuation by 15 or 30%. So let's wait. In the meantime, interest rates will fall, generating more and more interest from large players, who, looking at the statistics, are rapidly increasing their shares in the share capital of ITV. And this only serves to value ITV shares.

Returning to the issue of my purchases and generally investing in ITV shares. I suggest those interested to read the nonsense written by some trolls, about two months ago, when the market was falling on the news of Trump's tariffs. Something around April 7. My £20k invested then in the new tax year at a share price of 66.86 still with dividends gives me a solid profit of over 15% even at a price of 75 pence. In my opinion, when the time comes the profit from these £20k should exceed 100%. I have a solid portfolio of ITV shares, probably limiting my stupid moves. When investing small amounts we have to accept greater risk, which does not mean that you have to be stupid. And I suggest remembering this.

Playing for sale to buy back the same shares cheaper has this to do with it (similar to shorts) that in order to make money, you have to be able to buy back the sold shares. Looking at the volume and scale with which the advantage of institutional investors in ITV capital is growing last months, it is worth wishing you success in such an investment strategy. :) The summer stagnation in these shares, which theoretically can last until September, probably encourages such fun. However, experience suggests that the market rewards patience and painfully punishes greed. The external market environment looks interesting and will probably end all this fun faster than many predict. Undervalued dividend companies are worthy of interest for this reason alone. The stupid and poor (because what does even a 7% dividend mean when we invest £5k) will never understand this.

We have 76 pence (and below). The entire movement from 77 pence was actually made without volume. Besides, 1 million shares traded is still very weak. As I wrote, stagnation generates opportunities. Now the question is what supply buyers will manage to generate (because for me that's what it's all about)? I'm sticking to my strategy, shares bought at the price I expected. I never expect it to be the best. And now we'll wait a few days. I think the situation will look completely different.

As I have been doing for a long time, .., my order to buy 7230 ITV shares at 76.85p has just been fulfilled. This is my dividend reinvestment in my ISA giving me a total of 176600 ITV shares in my ISA (497030 total). I previously (before divi payment) made the purchases in my Investment Account (dividend reinvestment) using my credit card and after payment the dividend of over £10k has been withdrawn from this account.

7230 x 76.7748 (£5588)

497030 £332510. (ISA 176600)

Total Divi included £76150 (paid or reinvested)

Have a nice day for the all trolls.

That you for the seller who executed my purchase order.

And finally. I hope that technical belief in the magic 77p will not end for shareholders at the next resistance line around 72p. Although realistically this should not happen, with such a level of turnover and investment attitude towards ITV and with signals generated on the international market, anything is possible. I personally stick to my strategy.

Once again about the number of transactions. Objectively speaking, all movement on ITV shares has stopped. I think that over 80% of the number of transactions are currently those in the range of 1 to 50 shares, which in terms of amounts - not exceeding £40. This means that on the ITV share market there are currently real speculative players, day traders plus big fish implementing their long-term strategy in large, mostly agreed transactions. This 80% of transactions reflects, I think, maybe 20 active online accounts, based on low cumulative daily transaction costs. The funds from the paid dividend have either been withdrawn, transferred to shares of other companies, have already been reinvested or are still waiting at a lower level of ITV share valuation. In any case, this cash has now disappeared from view.

The market is waiting for greater movement generated by news from the company or a change in the global market.

All week same story: 76:79

Holidays volume and number of transaction (overstated by transactions in the range of 1-10 shares, which currently constitute about 70% of transactions). Time for a bigger move but as I said any bigger order (buy or sell) can trigger automatic stop orders on both sides of the market. So for day traders big risk but chance for big profits. Long-term ITV shareholders as usual are waiting for your time.

Returning to what I said earlier. Currently, the stagnation on ITV shares (confirmed by the volume of trading and "holes" in the order book) means that one larger order to buy or sell shares in the volume of around 10 thousand units is able to change the price level by +/- 1%. This is quite dangerous, because it is relatively easy to generate a movement causing automatic orders to buy or sell affecting the level of the ITV share price. Let's see if someone catches a deer....

Realistically looking at what is happening with ITV shares - all interest in them has died down for now. I think that someone is still implementing their strategy of slowly buying shares, not particularly concerned about price fluctuations here. A similar situation occurred earlier in the range of 60-70 pence. In such a situation, I would not be surprised to close in any trading day at 80 or 76 pence. Demand from small and medium investors has practically disappeared. You can see tons of frequent large "empty" ranges without orders in the ticket or with negligible demand in the range of +/- 0.5% price change at a level below 5k ITV shares. And this means we have a holiday.

ITV is on holiday. The range of current daily changes is 76-79 pence. Rather no changes until the end of August and only depending on the movements in the entire market (here I am waiting for Trump and what will happen after the negotiation periods imposed by him are over - rather 70:30 that after this time he want to show his strength). Unless finally the matter of a possible takeover / sale / STUDIO or the whole of ITV is clarified.

An example of what the lack of control over the number of incoming emigrants can lead to, especially when they are culturally alien to the country where they are coming from, can be Libya. This country, from a well-developing economy with a democratic system and an open worldview and a truly rich society, has become a place of constant armed conflict, religious cleansing and mass flight from war of indigenous citizens. The view that this does not concern us, will not happen to us or is not on this scale is incorrect. I suggests translating this into our own feelings and memory of what has happened in the UK over the last 20 or even 10 years. What did this country look like then and what did it look like today. Is changing legal immigration from EU countries to what is happening now a good solution for all of us living here? Because after all, the influx of those who came legally to the UK built and continues to build the economy of this country, and the current scale of illegal emigration only serves populists and political goals, not necessarily for the UK. Farage is the answer. I don't know a good or bad, but I believe that with this Labour Party and Conservative Party we all have no choice but to give him a chance.

The basis for solving or stopping the growth of many economic problems and therefore political problems growing in the UK is the issue of stopping illegal emigration. The Conservatives failed here at their own request but also thanks to the help of the entire opposition at the time and some of their MPs. Blocking the influx of illegal emigrants was considered in some circles to be an effective way of blocking Brexit and the resulting commitments undertaken by the Conservatives. As well in other situation - as tacit support for the policy pursued during the covid-19 period, the opposition parties treated it as a direct path to taking power, along with growing social dissatisfaction with the government's actions. The lack of strong leadership in the Labour Party, together with the leftist approach to the problem of illegal immigrants and governance itself, are causing most of today's problems for this government. Trump and Farage, who appeared on the political horizon, had a chance to change the Labour Party's policy on illegal emigration, if only in the name of saving budget expenditure.Nothing of the sort happened, and instead social spending is being cut (which is right) and taxes are being raised (because the increase in NI contributions paid by companies should be exactly treated as tax increase).The rapid increase in the minimum wage does not really benefit the working population, but again increased the budget revenue. If we want to relieve the working population, we should first fight inflation and secondly increase the tax-free amount to £20k (which would realistically correspond to the scale of inflation since its last change). As Stammer continues to flounder and the problems mount, I think Farage will grab everything he can at the next election, thoroughly cleansing both the Conservative and Labour Party fields, but also the SNP in Scotland, where people are also fed up with political fairy tales and are watching with concern as they become an inferior class in their own country.

I agree about Farage. Unfortunately, too big tilt to the left in politic is deadly to this country and its economy. We all expect a radical change in policy.

77.30

Ups... Still suspended between heaven and earth.

If you ask me, which price level to reinvestment I accepting now, I let you know that I have my divi yesterday at 8.30 (non ISA account) and at 1.10pm (ISA account) and I saw a price at 77.80 pence ... but we have a long weekend and as I think Tuesday & Wednesday should be interesting, and I have my limit of five working days.
