Another 1.5 million ITV shares went into oblivion, into nothingness today. Another £25k profit for the company, from shares that no longer be paid dividends. Together for the 150 million shares bought back this gives an extra ITV profit of over £5.7 million from unpaid dividends. This money stays in ITV's coffers. It is the profit of all of us, all off shareholders. As for myself today's ITV shares price included all bad and so much overestimated events. I know that, I understand that as an ITV shareholder, I may be too optimistic at times. But as an owner of 395k ITV shares ... I don't think this is without reason.

Greetings to all the real shareholders of ITV. Patience is a key to be a winner.

So I will stick with my hated and underrated by some people ITV. At the same time enjoying the possibility of averaging the price, buying shares cheaply and with the belief based on facts that when the time comes and big investors want to change the image of the ITV share market (or are forced to do so) my peace and strategy based on growth will bring me the expected profits. Companies like Cineworld, THG or at this stage the fuel sector I will leave to the local trolls.

CORRECTED

...

and negative recommendations made for the entire sector flowing from the environment of the entire market. Looking for suckers who will help us limit our losses is very popular on this forum.

THG recomendation "to buy" it's like recommending rope instead of poison to a convict. The company has been on the road to collapse for years, although it is apparently popular among trolls and convicts counting on a lucky streak and that that will become a millionaire just before yours investor's end. It's the same like recommendations made for SHELL and BP at the peaks of share valuations just before the downtrend begins and negative recommendations for the entire sector flowing from the environment of the entire market. Looking for suckers who will help us limit our losses is very popular on this forum.

Our trolls here who feed on hatred for the CEO are still hoping for cheap buys. Well, it's hard to come to terms with previous losses and today they still want to earn money for breakfast at McDonald's. These normal ITV investors are just doing their thing and waiting for the next dividend, slowly accumulating shares waiting for when our time comes.

Three days to another divi.

And you really have to be a troll, an idiot or a complete ignoramus with no knowledge of macro and microeconomics not to see the positive changes that have been taking place in ITV over the last few years. In addition, omitting the picture of the entire stock market, the cyclical nature of the economy, the impact of the political situation or, not only in the case of ITV shares, the systematic purchase of shares of selected undervalued companies with a big potencial in the entire market segment by large players is already total indolence, proving only that some treat this place as a regular casino. The cyclical nature of the economy used to build dynamically growing in its breakthrough moments is the key to the success of all large players on the market. This is easy to follow, in the disclosed way of building portfolios and the profits built on their basis from a 12-18 month perspective. From ITV's perspective, a few dozen last monts investment in the share capital of another big player who had to come out, or the appearance of a pension fund on the shorts, were clear and visible signals of a change in expectations regarding the ITV share price from players with both capital and analytical knowledge. Well, our local Russian troll and moron doesn't get it, wallowing in his dislike and hatred of all who see the changes taking place. And to add another brick to the discussion... today's advertising market is unfortunately these stupid ads for charities, abused animals or naked bodies. In the country I come from, medicines, sanitary pads and food promotions dominate, a few pence cheaper than the competition. This is the current TV and streaming advertising market and this is what I live by all over the world.

Forecasts

Observing the American market in the segment of new streaming productions in terms of ITV Studio's share in it, and the growing revenues of the European advertising market - and to relate this to the British market and ITV's financial results, I assume that: * Studio's revenues will fall by 8-9% from the comparable period last year, while ITV's advertising revenues thanks to ITVX will grow dynamically, covering Studio's losses. This is in line with the management's forecasts. At the same time, I assume a dynamic increase in advertising revenues and profits generated from this both in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025. That will be probably signaled by Board. This is related to both the holiday season and, in my opinion, to the market rebound, overestimating the negative effects of the new budget. Individual consumption will definitely rebound in the next two quarters, causing a dynamic increase in advertising revenues. The current changing cycle in this segment has been muted by both overly negative consumer expectations and market concerns about the future budget, as well as the political situation. Both should clarify soon.

I still expected a minimum of 1/4 or 1/2 % decline interest rates in the UK by the end of the year, making it even more worthwhile to buy dividend companies. My forecast for ITV is for the dividend to rise to around 6.5 pence per share in 2025.

In spite of the trolls here, in accordance with my own investment system, intelligence, knowledge and experience ... I have bought another 5k ITV shares in the meantime. This gives me a total of 395k ITV shares on two accounts in my portfolio, with an average price of 66,604 pence. This means that over the last few sessions I have bought 33k shares, spending £24,330. This gives an average of 79,788 pence per share (with tax) , and after taking into account the dividend next week - 78.08 pence. Is this an expensive purchase? For me, another logical and successful investment, which from "paper" losses at the end of last year brought me equally "paper" profits at the level of £40.5k increase in the value of the portfolio to date. Of course, this will soon be joined by £6.7 from dividends. This will allow the average share price to drop to 65,904 pence for each ITV share held. Whether this is profitable, everyone can assess in percentage terms at the level of their investment portfolio this year. Regardless of everything, I will still buy another 5k shares, so that I will end this year with my target of 400k ITV shares in the portfolio. I imagine that our local trolls will then be eagerly counting my daily losses in the portfolio, hiding any potential gains in pain and anger... My forecast for the end of the year is still £1.20-£1.50 per ITV share.

BigEgo

I share your opinion.

When I am looking into my pocket I am still able to buy about 5k ITV shares before 25th November, dividend payment date. In the worse scenario today's purchases will be mostly paid off by the dividend payment. Now my January goal to reach the level of 400k by the end of 2024 ITV shares in my portfolio, has been practically achieved. It's time to wait for my predictions about the increase of the shares to come true to the end.

Another's two trolls added to the FILTERS list

All the best for the real shareholders.

Patience.

Chanel 4 has been on a financial slippery slope for several years. This is what management of a state-owned company looks like, without control from shareholders, a company that for years has had practically no idea how to solve the problems that have accumulated. The lack of understanding of the annual financial information provided by Chanel 4 and its translation into ITV is a manifestation of the ignorance and stupidity of our trolls and pseudo-investors. Stupidity in this case does not hurt. And financially, creating oneself as millionaires does not work either. As for the conclusions spitting from the Chanel 4 annual report, one thing is certain. Streaming and online advertising is doing better than well in the context of television advertising. And this allows us to forecast revenues and profits at a satisfactory level, especially for ITV, which is the main player on this market in the UK. The studio as a group is also doing better and better, allowing them to limit the impact of last year's turmoil on the American market. Knowledge and experience on the stock market is not a matter of years spent at stock exchange and how much money someone lost there. This is something that trolls will never achieve.... Stupidity cannot be eradicated. Reading comprehension (especially financial reports) is something many people here will never master.

No offense. Stupidity does not hurt those it affects, although it can bother others around it.

390k ITV shares in my pocket. Average price

£0.6667. 7 working days to divi.

Another 10k shares bought.

I hope that my credit card can handle it...

Patience is a key of the success.

The fun lasts as long as there are sellers and someone still hopes to buy back the sold shares cheaper. Looking at the average order size from the last few days during the session from 8am to 4.30pm, it's just enough for lunch at McDonald's. Enjoy your meal.

Thanks to the buyback, some shares fortunately disappear from the market forever....

From Friday 82.20 up to today we have 3.85 pence loss, what is about 4.67%.

A question? Hom many days we need to get up with price 5% , over the 82.20 pence level?

Ups..I forgot about some predictions on 75 pence ha ha.

Have a good night fir the real ITV shareholders and investors.

This blac hole is a consolidation after a rapid rise from a low of around 55-60 pence to a price above 80. Dividend and market expectations regarding results in November and, above all, regarding forecasts for the fourth quarter of this year and the first half of next year - that makes today's situation together with macroeconomy. Common sense advises taking this into account and also having your own ideas and forecasts regarding this. I remind you that theories of catching subsequent lows recommended by some people on this forum have already brought them losses more than once. And not these "paper" ones but real ones because they ended with the sale of shares with a loss that was not made up for, because they did not buy back cheap shares. In addition to all this comes the financial scale in which we operate. And this determines both: the sale and purchase at a given price level, and the possible profits achieved. Risking losses for a potential profit of 2-5% with the possibility of being out of a position that we prefer in the long term is stupidity at least for me and in most cases leads to a slow decline in the capital we have. But of course everyone has their own mind and goals. "The water with soda" going to the some heads when they earn £50 risking all the capital is not only popular for ITV shares .... but sometimes they just forget (or don't want to do) to compare after a longer period of time, what their financial situation would look like if they were not greedy. I never assume that I will buy or sell shares at the best price. I just doing a carefully thought-out strategy, knowing that emotions are the worst advisors.

Most major agencies have issued negative recommendations for the entire oil sector. The current situation has caused a temporary and a real small increase in the prices of oil and the shares of its producers and processors. Proposing investments in this sector is therefore either ignorance or malice. I advise you to think and carefully read all available market commentaries building opinions about the prospects for growth in share prices in specific sectors of the economy in the next 18 months. Our native trolls have been recommending these investments to us since at least March. The current situation, even after the current increase, is over 20% loss in this sector.

A time like now is another good time to clear the ITV shareholder base of the most speculative and accidental capital. This is evident from the average size of sell orders and buys generated by stronger hands and buybacks. On the ITV we have already many times experienced panic fueled by small sell orders at lower and lower price levels (with passive and low demand for shares). And it always ended the same way - a return to earlier or higher price levels and the local trolls spitting hateful comments about the losses incurred by everyone. Funny, because after all they supposedly stand by waiting for the ITV share price to fall below 70, 60 or 50 pence or for it to go bankrupt. It is worth remembering that stock prices are subject to fluctuations, and real losses are incurred by selling owned stocks at a level previously unacceptable to us, often with the hope of an even greater drop in this price and to make a chance to buy back these stocks at a much lower price. How "hope" relates to "reality" is probably known to every serious investor. Each of us has it seems to be investment mind?? Emotions are important, but they must be controlled and the consequences of our decisions must be clearly assessed. Best regards and I wish you common sense in making decisions.

Just back home and I saw that bought another 5k ITV shares at the price 79.20. That means I spend all money which I reserved on this up to next month. Added 18k shares with a total price including tax about 80.3. As for myself it's a good price. It's give me from the total 380k ITV shares nearly £6.5k divi or £6k after tax (from the part of it). That are a real money. I always calculating profit or loss after closing my inwestment. At the moment "on the paper" it is still looking not to bad with average price £0.66105 per ITV share.

The investor will understand this, the troll has no chance of losing or earning anything because his investment portfolio has long since disappeared into oblivion.

I think that the situation in the Middle East will calm down. I expected Iran's response and I think that for now there will be no major escalation from this side. The issue is Israel's behavior and its pressure to destroy Iran's nuclear potential. However, I believe that from Iran's point of view, a large-scale confrontation is unfavorable, as is both the expansion of hostilities and their further extension in time for Israel. This will ruin both sides economically, and will probably end with a change of power or internal unrest in both countries. I think Iran is aware of this, and Netanyahu should remember that this time he has a good chance of ending up in prison. So for me, any corrections on the stock market are currently an opportunity to buy.

I added again 5k shares .

Fear always has big eyes.
