I don't think that any new or old government have any big chance to change a lot in this financial situation in UK. We spent over £200 billion in covid-19 time for everything and nothing. Now it's time to pay bills. In politics left not to much space for change in taxes, just different faces, names and party have got same sh*** to fix. Without hard and unpopular change in refugee politics, with cutting in benefits and and without forcing people to finally start working at their own expense and not reach out to the government, there is no chance for any changes. The deepening deficit of budget can be eliminated either by increasing taxes or by increasing and greater control of spending. Unfortunately, this country is going for years into huge dark deep hole, more and more people live on the state's money, at the same time considering that maintaining them is the duty of any government. The fear of defeat in the elections increases the powerlessness of those who is in power. Without cutting this approach, we have no chance for greater changes. In addition, we finally have to deal with illegal immigration. And contrary to appearances, this is only a political decision. Rebuilding the benefits system and making them dependent on legal residence in the UK, legal work and paying taxes here, no criminal record before coming to the UK, and not recognising the acquisition of British citizenship with birth in the UK if both parents were here illegally or have only temporary status - together with unconditional extradition combined with a ban on entry to the UK for at least 10 years and loss of future right to apply for asylum, would very quickly reduce the problem to a minimum. And then we could really, as a country, help people those who want to come to the UK because they are need this real help. Without solving this problem, every government will look for more and more money in our pockets, because the problem will grow, having an impact on both the overload of the health service and problems in the housing sector. So either it will squeeze it out of us with taxes or higher inflation. Unfortunately, I do not believe that as a society or the government we are finally able to deal with this. Harder times must come, which will force us to sort this out.

Finally I will stay with my 310k shares stake in ITV which should be little higher on the end of this month.

And today again nearly 50% up to 16.30 made by buyback.

Being a troll is not only about discussions in the style of our Russian troll T, it is also about trying to inflame the situation on the forum, stupid and "naive" questions. And this is clear and obvious to the majority, because despite everything, most of us here are not idiots. So if you don't like it and if you are tired of investing in ITV or you are still spinning conspiracy theories, then simply sell your ITV shares (if you have them at all and not just trolling) and then brag about it on the forum and wait for your prophecy to come true. If you are right, you will gain twice - financially and the respect of those here. Otherwise, you are just an ordinary troll.

For careful observers: the last two buyback sessions have been 3 million shares taken off the market with 6.5 million shares traded during the session until 16:30. I have already presented my conclusions on this several times. My optimism may be a bit exaggerated, but my long-term assessments of ITV remain unchanged. For now, all real investors in ITV shares can simply be advised to be patient, although the current situation may last for a while longer.

This basis short term arguments are only represent the current behavior of investors waiting for a stronger change in the share price that will determine the direction in which this price will go. It is necessary to be aware that in order to convince small individual investors but also a wider group of institutional investors, visible changes in ITV's finances are necessary. These have occurred and the upcoming sports events should constitute a significant injection of income, which, combined with the growth and reconstruction of the entire advertising market, is a good prognosis. Achieving revenues and profits at the levels of those before 2018, plus income generated by the Studio should contribute to a much higher market valuation above £1.5 per share, taking into account the changes that have occurred in ITV and growth forecasts for the coming years. Today's undervalued valuation of ITV shares is the result of the withdrawal of a large group of investors but also a successful attempt to buy shares with high growth potential and at a large discount on the generally undervalued British stock market.

Moving away from the troll issue and back to the topic of this forum.

What do you think the near future of ITV's share price looks like? In my opinion, next week we will see another attempt to break through the 80 pence level. As I have already written, observing the turnover (when we separate clearly agreed transactions), we can see a lack of acceptance for the current level of share valuation, where daily turnover without the presence of buyback transactions on the market often does not exceed 2 million shares. This clearly suggests a withdrawal of supply with demand being withheld, and waiting for a clearer price movement from the buyers. In the background, we can see (at least for now) a lack of interest from larger players in moving to a much higher share price level, with a probable strong increase in the share price after breaking through the current resistance and, in the perspective as a result of this break, consequences related to the market's play on entering the FTSE100 index. From my point of view, we can see further calm accumulation of shares and waiting for a signal from the external market or from ITV itself. Will the third attempt to break through the 80 pence level and then maintain the price in the 85-89 pence range succeed this time? I think we have a good chance of that. Since at least February this year I have been writing about the reasons for the bull market that should come to ITV, the expected period and its necessary conditions (those visible to everyone and not just a few). One of them, after the improvement in forecasts that we have already seen, was to be a drop in interest rates in the UK, creating strong demand pressure for financially stable dividend companies. And this reduction in my opinion,observing external markets but above all economic data from Great Britain, should be expected on June 20. Add to this the upcoming sports events that significantly affect ITV's finances, the decisive signaled increase in profits from the advertising segment of competitors, growing recommendations for the valuation of ITV and the entire segment of this market, etc., it should be assumed that this may be a good moment for a significant upward movement in the ITV share price. It is also important to be aware that whoever initiates this move has a chance to remove the last significant block of share supply from the market before the competition does so and before we break through the £1.0-£1.20 levels. Investors who will return to investing in ITV in the second half of the year will take care of making it profitable, if of course the financial forecasts presented by the Board are fulfilled, which at least I do not doubt. So I maintain my assessment of the successful movement of the ITV share price and entering the range above 80 pence by the end of June (and ahead of the decision to cut interest rates). As every time it's only my private opinion depending of market situation, but I think with huge chance to win.

A Russian troll pointing out that someone has a strong negative and very bad opinion about him is ridiculous and distracts from the problem and the language used by the same troll. As for me, accusing me of any beliefs is idiotic at best, if you look at who I am, my nationality or the history of my family. This Russian troll is just a troll, and moreover ignorant when it comes to ITV, pouring his own venom and frustration over the real discussion about the company, its prospects and predictions for the future held on this forum. Using multiple nicknames and accounts is to create the impression that someone agrees with his arguments, most often offensive towards the CEO. And it will remain that way, nothing will change here as long as this behavior is tolerated and "it" participates in the discussion.

In this matter...we are talking about an idiot and troll, which one have a problem to understand that people don't want to hear him any more. He brings nothing new to the discussion about ITV, he is a destructive troll who spits venom at anyone who has a different opinion or who pays attention to it. Add to that his views on the war in Ukraine .. I leave it with no comments. This "thing" is just garbage and small stinking rat and troll for me, not worth any discussion or interest.

Another day, another stupid discussion with small Russian rat...

Ups, sorry I lost something

"successful, over 90% that no later than just after 20th June. And ..."

In my opinion we will welcome July with a price over 80 pence, possible 86-89 with still a big fluctuation, although a few-session 15-20% increase is possible at any time and should definitely clear the market. After the recent decreasing turnover (when you separate visible agreed transactions and activity when buyback comes into this game) it is clear that most market participants do not agree with the current level of ITV shares valuation - those speculative and focused on several percent profits will be cut off after the first dynamic increase and a slight withdrawal, which is supposed to suggest a deeper correction. So at least I am waiting for another injection of cash and maybe I will happen to buy before a bigger movement.

And Russian troll, rat etc it will always remain the same insignificant trash.

A rat emerged from its hole...

65% that the next attempt to break through the 80 pence level will be successful, over 90% that after 20th June. And so we will find ourselves in a range where resistance can only be £1.0-£1.20.

No 80 pence and you are still waiting?? Where is the problem? It's so easy to press the "sell" button, get your money out and make huge profits on the different shares. And of course go back to buying ITV when the share price falls to 60p again or even as the troll here says - below 50p or to the bottom. It's that simple. You will make millions, relieve stress and maybe finally stop spewing venom .... Give your intelligence a chance and just press "sell". With your intelligence and your market sense ITV shares are a waste of time and investment skills you have. Why wait for something that may never happen.

Commenting on the comments to my posts:

Firstly, I don't argue or don't start any discussion with trolls.

Secondly, I do not accept discussions with accounts that I define as hybrid accounts used by trolls here who try to arouse interest and support their theses. Part of my studies was also psychology, so I suggest that attempts at manipulation should be directed in a different direction.

I value other people's opinions and I am always happy to exchange views with people who have both experience and knowledge, regardless of whether our views are similar. I make mistakes like everyone else, although life shows that statistically on the stock market fewer than average. Blaming about your failures, including investment failures, on everyone around you and not on yourself is a manifestation of arrogance and stupidity, and the comments directed here in connection with this at the ITV management are plain rudeness. I ignore their authors and, to put it mildly, I do not give a damn.

I believe that this forum should be a place for the exchange of views based primarily on facts. If you don't believe in the company you're discussing and if you're not investing in it, just leave this discussion and don't act like a troll. Don't treat the people here as potential enemies either, because none of us really has a major impact on the ITV share price. Use the fact that someone is sharing their knowledge, but accept the principle that theory can only become practice, and that is shown by the share price on an ongoing basis. You need make decisions, however each of us decides for ourselves and that is the basic principle.

My today's purchase at an average of 77.68p may not have been at the lowest price, but judging by the closing price, it was certainly a good one. Now it's time to wait for another attempt at a sustained entry into the price range above 80p. Maybe the third time will finally work? We'll see. In any case, it will happen soon and then we'll just need to wait for a stronger move up. As I said - any correction in the upward trend clears the market and as a result becomes an incentive for a more lasting increase in the ITV share price.

Taking advantage of the fact that the buyback has temporarily suspended purchases... I added another almost 7k shares. Now I have 310k ITV shares on my both accounts. Yes... every drop in valuation hurts but that's how it works after all. As a rule, I don't play on declines in a growth market, and the assumptions about the value of shares in 12 months are rather growing. Every correction always has an invigorating effect on the share price. For now, let's wait until the buyback comes back into play and the ECB lowers interest rates.

I agree with you, but many people on this forum trying to read all informations in just one way as unfavourable for ITV. Sometimes discussion don't make much sense. Time will tell us who was right. Russian troll officially felt silent today but for careful observers he just hides under multiple accounts... and still thinking that all readers this forum along him are the same idiots like himself.

Fortunately, time will tell us am I was right or not. And this board is a place for such a discussion, based on facts, knowledge and prediction of the future price of ITV shares. And it is certainly not a place for trolls filled with hatred for everyone, looking for the source of their frustration and failures in them. So let's wait at least until the end of this year.

In this case, the takeover will be the market's real response to ITV's revival, its growing position on the market and the diversification of the portfolios of the largest players. It is also the expected way of exiting the investment by the current largest shareholders, interested in ITV's strong position and thus the possibility of receiving a fair return on invested capital. I suggest sometimes looking at this situation in terms of the company's financial situation and its market share, and the expectations of the main investors. And consider whether anyone will actually be able to block it, if the company's shareholders come to the conclusion that it is beneficial and necessary for its development. However, this is an eventuality that will only come into play when the valuation of the shares is able to satisfy the market. So let's wait for ITV to reach a level of around £1.8-2.3. Then all options from takeover to merger become most likely.

At the moment, all my long-term predictions that I have been talking about since the beginning of this year and which I have already mentioned many times before, both regarding the market environment and the financial situation of the company itself, are coming true. My patience, strategy of reinvestment or new investments aimed at increasing the involvement in ITV shares are also bringing measurable financial results. So all that remains is to wait, laughing at the stupidity of trolls trying to transfer their bitterness of defeat to everyone present here. From my own observations and experience regarding the behavior of the prices of various companies, I am only waiting for the confirmation of my predictions of a 15-20% dynamic increase in the price of ITV shares over several sessions, cutting off small speculators from investments and allowing the largest long-term players, who can count accurately and know exactly what profits are at stake in this game, to collect a large supply of shares.

Daily increases always cheer me up. However, this is just a record that will formally come true when the investment closes. For now, what matters to me is the trend, prospects and the level of the ITV share price that I have assumed. Whether we will reach the price range of £1.3-1.5 in a quarter or in half a year is no longer so important. If my predictions for next year come true, even a share valuation of £1.5 is still a very attractive price level with a future rate of return of 30 to 100%. So should we wait for £1.3 and then slowly start making profits? Every investor has their own system for investing, risk assessment or building an investment portfolio. I believe that a Joker in the deck is an opportunity that happens very rarely, so we have to use it as long as possible. So I probably won't part with ITV before the opportunity to take advantage of the takeover offer arises, which I predict will come and can be accepted by the largest shareholders and the company's board at around £3 per share. This means that the current ITV development strategy defined by the CEO must be fulfilled. The year 2025 will be even more interesting than the current one.

£0.7760

Hmm.. Little under last week Friday's expectations, but I am happy. Knowledge and patience are a key of success.

I wrote about it maybe 2 weeks ago.

Dame came in to ITV when company have a huge debt, financial hole in Pension Fund, after payment of the revalued dividend based on the next debt incurred, on the fast changed market - where the company was losing market share and revenue, with a decline in advertising revenues and more importantly, a change in its structure and the outflow of advertisers, without clear prospects for developmentall and on the clear way to collapse. Dame had her owvn vision of ITV based on digital development and online streaming, as well as the development of media production for ITV's own use but also as content creating a strong profit segment. She redevelopment all compan's structure and indicated a new path of development. All this is happening under her management, but it is just starting to bring visible results for investors, which aren't understand how difficult the company's financial situation is and what changes are taking place there.

Short term investors aren't happy a few years ago and want only close company and take a money from the sale of the company's assets. Today's trolls are too stupid to accept that such a process is ongoing, and we should be glad that it has brought specific results, because statistically it is successful in less than 30% of cases.
