Quote form quisty on the 7th
“About 6 yrs ago I bought for 11p and sold at £1.20
I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole this time”
That should answer your question
To be fair to Paul
Your right quisty the 40p was wrong
But a few weeks ago people where also saying the shares would be at 1p by now. They are only now near the 10p mark but that’s almost 10 times more what people where telling us a few weeks ago
So in fairness you should also be pointing that out as well.
Traders get the SP wrong, investors get the SP wrong and experts get the SP wrong.
You invested in TCG years ago like I did
Do you remember then people telling us the shares would never get past 20p ?
I don’t see the SP getting past 15p this week I think it will be another week of chess
Paul I am a optimist
And I believe there is still value in TCG
but who is going to be involved in this bidding war ?
It looks like NK has not been buying more shares, although it looks like someone has.
It is possible there are other parties that are interested but we are not seeing that at the moment
I hope that your right but at the moment there is no sign of a bidding war.
Has NK got allies? Yes it’s Very possible. It’s also possible that NK Is being backed by a bigger fish
It’s possible that he is not. It’s possible that he is in talks with TCG and it’s also possible that he is in this for something else.
There is the problem at the moment we just don’t know
I will carry on holding this share, I am a optimistic but also a realistic person and know there is still huge risk here with that can be complete loss or good profits
Sorry please excuse my dyslexia
I ment it has been proven the world (not would ) is flat
Dohhhhh
Buck
With this BOD god know what they are going to tell us next lol
Maybe there planes are grounded because it’s been proven the would is actually flat not round lol
Buck
“They have more pressing matters at hand maybe “
So they have enough time to talk about spending millions on refurbish hotels in Spain but not enough time to comment on a article about talks between them and a investor about taking over the company !!! Mmmmm
“Yes Buck they said that from start...... This £150m has to be more worrying as time and again they keep on asking for more money.... their financial planning is crap and trading must be worse than expected and it was already very very bad”
Qusity
You are presuming the TCG BOD acts as a BOD should
But they do not.
They in my eyes are trying every angle they can to drive the price down, push investors out so bad news is good for them.
They have already stated the company is skint, they have already stated the shares are worthless I don’t see why they would have any problems at all in telling us that trading is with than expected, or that they need no more money. In fact I would not be surprised if it was not the BOD who leaked that they want a extra 150m because bad news is exactly what the BOD is promoting
Hey you may well be right buck
So why did TCG not just come out and say what a load of rubbish ? We are not and have never been in talks with NK about taking over the company ?
Pretty easy thing to do and it would probably helped drive the price downwards fast which is after all exactly what TCG and Fosun want.
As for the price not moving.
Have you ever thought that it stayed stable because of the news, that maybe the shares where about to dive big time before that report. And that there was maybe people like me that where wary of the report no but thought I was going to sell BUT now I will hold on and see where this leads for a few days.
Buck
Of course you see no reason why TCG should comment, your not a share holder
But put yourself in vc shoes who posted earlier, he has I think he said 259k invested in this and is thinking of pulling out. How would you feel IF you where him and 3 days after he sold TCG annoyed they have been in talks with NK since Friday ?
As for your legit media
Is this the same legit media that have and keep trying to tell us Fosun are putting in 750m when it appears they are only putting in 450m
If they no the truth why are the legit media smudging the truth ?
Now I am not saying I believe the Turkish article, I am wary of it and have been from the start
But TCG should respond.
Also if it had been Turkish media that had first reported that TCG needed a extra 150m from the banks I bet you would have been willing to believe that.
From how I see it you believe what you want you want to believe in the media where as I take all media reports with a pinch of salt
Yes there is always that.
A no deal could be a game changer for the airline
How can it be true that Fosun have already put the 750m in when it’s now being reported that they are only giving 450m ?
See we are being told one thing then later finding out the so called facts are not facts at all
Not saying it’s true if he is in talks with TCG
BUT if he is then that’s not waiting buck.
Also the reports of TC looking at a 150m loan maybe to see the though till the deal is done with NK
like everything else on here it’s only speculation
Because nobody really knows what’s going on
I would just like to state my vote of no confidence in the BOD of TCG
Half as much as links about the reported TCG needing a extra 150m
Follow your gut.
If it’s says get out then get out a 3k loss is not a disaster
My gut is telling me all this does not add up I can easily afford any losses and I know it’s a huge risk
I may well be stupid and know I could lose but I am staying in.
Vc
We don’t know if it’s true
And if it is it says apart from the Fosun
Deal.
There is always the possibility that it could be part of another deal with a different investor
One that means they don’t need the 750 mil
We simply don’t know what is going on behind doors.
One thing for certain is if NKand his allies are still buying shares this news is great news for them because if the SP slides Monday because of this report he gets to buy even more shares even cheaper.
There is so much going on that we don’t know about it seems.
Mmmm facts
Was one of your “facts” that Fosun where putting in 750m ? And it now looks like they are only offering 450m
Like I said before facts are only facts when they happen
A bit like the fact that if you had invested at 4-5 and sold at 14-5 you would have made a great profit. Now that’s a “fact “
Sorry my mistake buck
From the way you go on I presumed you had a crystal ball.
Buck
Some would say you where stupid for not buying at 4-5 and selling for 14-5
For a man that knows everything I am surprised you didn’t mate
So you don’t think a article that says a insider from Thomas cook says NK is in talks with Thomas cook to take over company deserves a reply from TCG
And how are them reports any different from the reports saying TCG have asked for a extra 150
Neither of them articles have any proof what so ever but only one is picked up by the British press
