If it is ripping, it is a bit of a wet fart compared to IAG which is a lot stronger (as ever ) this morning

Weird day - AIG up 6% and steady all day on Gulf news, EZY all over the shop as people take profit, then FOMO, then selling again. Looking forward to the weekend now I think and for it all to end for the week

"Today's close above 5.05. News coming before Monday open. Watch this space. GLA"

The Board of Blackstone Inc thank you for your input and will consider it closely as they make their future investment choices

Somebody must know something, EZJ is having quite a day today after a week of comparative calm.

Life changing for me - having been burnt, kicked and abused by EZJ over the last 5 years, I went all in at £3.60 recently and it's been one heck of a month.

But having been in an abusive relationship with EZJ for 5 years, it's impossible to know when to bail out without being too greedy. I'd definitely take £6.00

Doh ! Anyway EZJ and ALRT are both flying at the moment so happy days :-)

I asked CHatGPT if it was good or bad as an investor. The reply was

For a shareholder, this disclosure is generally neutral to mildly positive, but it is not a strong signal on its own.

Key points:

BlackRock remains a significant shareholder, with about 4.04% ownership of easyJet. Large institutional investors often hold positions because they see long-term value or want exposure to the sector.

BlackRock's short position (1.14%) is much smaller than its long position (4.04%). Overall, it is still net long easyJet.

The reported trading activity shows BlackRock reduced some short positions (299,191 and 29,096 shares), which could be interpreted as slightly less bearish.

However, it also increased one short position and reduced a long CFD position, suggesting portfolio adjustments rather than a clear directional bet.

A rough summary:

Bullish signal: BlackRock continues to own a substantial stake and reduced more short exposure than it added.

Bearish signal: The existence of a sizeable short derivative position indicates some hedging or negative exposure remains.

Most likely interpretation: Routine portfolio management by a large asset manager rather than a major vote of confidence or concern about easyJet.

As a shareholder, I would view this filing as not materially changing the investment case for easyJet. More important factors would be airline demand, fuel costs, earnings outlook, capacity growth, and any takeover-related developments that triggered this disclosure requirement.

BlackRock disclosed a 4.04% interest in easyJet plc, holding 30.66 million ordinary shares and related interests as of 1 June 2026. It also reported a 1.14% short position through cash-settled derivatives (8.64 million shares). During the reporting period, BlackRock purchased 3,423 easyJet shares, reduced several short CFD positions, increased one short CFD position, and reduced a long CFD position. Small share transfers in and out were also reported. No indemnity, option, or derivative-related agreements were disclosed.

For example, this was the most recent one. I asked for a 75 word summary

It's really straightforward to copy and paste them in their entireity into ChatGPT.com

I've done that for a few of them and you can ask ChatGPT to give you the answer to any degree of financial expertise you want

Don't remind me. I bought £10k of RR at 90p and sold at £1.50 absolutely thrilled with my financial genius

I had £220K in EZY on Friday but sold late on Friday afternoon worried about The Donald and Iran. If there was no takeover this would be £3.65 this morning on the bad news there

So I sold £110k worth

The sadness at being £11k down in far greater than the happiness at being £11k up

Kenton Jarvis was dull, lethargic and uninspiring as ever on Radio4 at 0720 this morning.

According to easyJet's September 2025 financial reports the company has £3.55 Billion in cash and cash equivalents.

A quick look at HL shows 758 million shares issued at £3.44 valuing the company at £2.6 Billion

Odd business this investing

Someone thinks something good, very rapid rise around 1035

ezj and iag up 1.5% bit this morning, bab**** and british aerospace both down 2.5% this morning. very conter intuitive

i sense a tweet from trump coming

This is like an AIM share today

Hopefully the holder wants the derivative to become a sellable equity worth 10p per share

When a few trillion electrons started their working day this morning, I bet they hoped they would have a more productive day than powering this nonsense

Stockinvest.us have the price at £1.75, If they can't even get that right, I', not sure what use the rest of the article is
