Boss man buying a few. A crumb of comfort.
All seemed to go through without too much share price drama.
Onwards and upwards.

Ex entitlement date was 30 Jan.
because you had to be in it to win it (ie the right to buy at 15p)
I'm finding this underperformance most puzzling and irritating (15% below STAN in three months). Something specific to HSBC or should I buy more in the mispricing?
We're completely missing out on the market bounce, and also underperforming peers like STAN - Am I missing something?
Read the RNS - they have a new CFO (looks like a good one). I don't think he would have boarded a sinking ship. Also the much lower oil price should improve profitability, since the last profit warning. OTOH, LWB have a history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
TUI - Obvious competition issues. .
Although that can be solved with a few divestments.
I can't think Fankhauser will be around for much longer. One of the many fuming at his incompetence will be the chairman, (who has a sizeable shareholding.) Or he gets booted out in a takeover - either's good.
Yes, travel businesses benefit from a charismatic leader, (McCall, Walsh, Marshall, King etc) and he hasn't got it. The (pre)results presentation was pretty dour as well.
I wonder if jumping the gun by two days also pissed off the city - I know it pissed me off, as I was getting cold feet about the coming results, and by blind luck, had a 15% profit I was just about to cash in.
Im hopeful that when we can have a good look at the results, there will be some room for positivity. After all, with shifting the sdi's onto the profit column, the 30m headline fall maybe looks at first glance to be worse than it is, and maybe this drop is maybe overdone.<br /><br />Easyp - do you have a feeling for whether easyjet might make a pounce? It looks operationally a very good fit (same type, operationally similar and of good standards, plus a new foothold in long haul), and would boost the"easyjet holiday" profile.
RBC downgrade to sector underperform today, which I guess explains the drop.
I lived and worked in Hong Kong too, then did some time in the UK, Switzerland, Turkey and Africa. HSBC is far and away the best one stop shop for an internationally portable banking product. Workers are more internationally mobile these days, sequitur HSBC is very well placed for growth.
At least he's losing more than me!
~10% Divi now, and a pile of debt - stupid. Someone needs to give this company a good shake.
Strange indeed... but Big investors/small company (possibly working to a plan). Inevitably the SP shifts around as they shift their weight around. Personally, not too bothered at the moment....
