Standard sales of holdings to cover taxes due by the looks of things on that RNS. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Completely agree Stupmy, US futures suggest it'll open strong but all the other indicators are pointing towards US markets being very likely to commence another round of heavy fire selling. Unless the Fed steps in with a statement or some action of some kind (personally I think the Fed won't be all that unhappy to allow another day or two of selling yet).

Not in my opinion... the asian central banks had to have taken action in the overnight trading session and taking Japan, it had dropped 12%, then bounced 8% (net -4%).

I think we'll see more global drops this week, the Fed will eventually act, even if that's just sending out forward guidance to indicate their thinking for the Sep rate decision (all they need to do imo).

Interesting swing for asian markets overnight into positive territory and surely looks as though Japanese and other central banks in Asia may have been intervening in the markets? Significantly rallies took place with large dips following each rally throughout their trading day...

Surely Japanese and other central banks in Asia will have been intervening in the markets? Seemed to significantly rally a couple of times with large dips following each rally throughout their trading day...

*that should have said never and not neer

NF, I've neer used spread bets, CFD or short positions. I've only bought and sold long positions, my trading experience is still building.

Most welcome Stiperstones

NF - Nope, I've not bought any CPI shares - as the financials look shockingly bad and there should be more market drops on the way yet, this one tis but a minor tremor.

Best of Luck all.

Look I know I've been bearish on TUI in the past, for many various reasons (which ultimately led me to sell all my holdings) but... I just wanted to come on here to wish those who are very heavily invested the very best of luck with weathering the storm of the market turbulence.

Fundamentally, TUI's a decent company, it won't go bust imo although it may need to shrink, raise finance or consider refocus on it's most profitable business activities. Hopefully, the Fed will step in for you all as I think they made an error by failing to make a cut at their recent meeting. GLA.

Stupmy - I agree where you said "For value, EZY looks good value"... analysing the financials it looked clear to me that EZJ stole the lunch from other airliners like Ryanair... it did something very right to outperform the rest of the sector but the whole sector did not perform as stellar as I had expected way back in 2023 (a reason I sold my TUI holdings a little after their results)... I think EZJ looks positioned to remain more resilient than the rest but yep, as you point out "when the panic starts everything sells down" and a lot will depend on timings as to when the Fed steps in to offer market stability, also do they go it alone? Or in unity with other Western central banks?

Kipper9 - back in the 2007-9 financial crash it was painful watching the fed make small cut after small cut in the interest rate when they should have gone large with the big bazooka nice and early on... Will they make the same mistake? As honestly a 0.25-0.5% cut will only temporarily help for a week or two and then the falls will commence yet again...

I reckon they have to come out early with a 0.75% cut in order to tame these bears sufficiently enough.

Kipper9 - BT is a safe haven imo. it goes ex-div on Thursday with a 5.69p/share pay-out. The total divi for the year stands at 8p which means at £1.30p a share the divi represents an annual return (ROI) of 6.15% (and you don't even have to wait a whole year to received that return either!

Added to that BT has just gone past the peak Capex (capital expenditure on FTTP + 5G rollout costs of installing the infrastructure) which means the cost savings & efficiencies (from the lower power consumption of the new infrastructure) are picking up rapidly, as are the sales volumes of the now wider array of data services packages too. A sound investment opportunity for the turbulent times ahead because everyone needs good Data services to get them through a tough winter of the cost of living crisis round 2.

As for CPI... well the tone is set for the whole globe... as the Dow Jones futures are now saying it's going to drop 1000pts on the open. Yes, it could recover if the USA Fed steps in... but if the Fed waits it out on the sidelines then the session could be very dramatic indeed.

Broomtree - I think the Dollar and the US economy is stronger than currently thought. Definitely stronger than UK where the biggest weaknesses lay. So much so that I've actually bought some $'s as well. I didn't predict 10p btw... I said it should be under 10p but recognising ppl will still buy it as a sucker stock and turbulence will mean it keeps on fluctuating... However, the trend for CPI is one of decline and at some point AH will have to tap shareholders, sell CPI to a bidder or the business will fold. All imo of course DYOR.

Wildcat_Driver - Few months back I came onto this CPI chat board because I thought I'd spotted a bargain stock to make an investment into. So I delved into the financials + asked some challenging questions to members on here...

I genuinely hoped I'd get some solid answers with evidence behind them, as to why CPI was a good investment but... instead the responses shocked and took me by surprise. Instead of rational well evidenced replies I received a barrage of abuse. I read through many highly charged emotional responses, which made little if any sense...

Very frankly these replies alarmed me and put me off making an investment, I openly/transparently explained I'd made the decision to invest in BT instead of CPI (both were candidates for me, I was clear to explain that)... Now I still had other cash, to pivot and invest in CPI if my opinion changed, so I kept asking more questions to keep an open mind but things just got even worse! Everything I was reading about past + current financials, market trends, macroeconomic situation and customer/sales info, out in the public domain, screamed to me that CPI was toxic. I aired my views and was ridiculed for it.

Along came the results on Friday which were terrible, I called the drop 1st thing in the morning, only to be met with more delusional ramping.... The drop happened and my, my... it was big... 12% on Friday and still it falls today.

Wildcat_Driver - trying to claim there's "advantage of a downturn" for CPI... I mean yes, there can be... so long as the downturn does not completely annihilate CPI first.

"Sensitive Savage" - LOL! You lot are clearly the sensitive ones... cannot handle the reality that CPI is sooo weak. The ramping many have done has proven to be founded on completely false assumptions - SP is lagging far behind the highs many on here claimed it would hit.

Dow Jones Futures are not looking pretty😬: https://edition.cnn.com/markets/premarkets

The ONLY thing which surprises me is they think it's worth as high as 30p!
