Anyone able to advise why I'm unable to buy ezj shares... Tried 5 times since open but each time although I get a live price, the trade does not go through. I have cleared funds in my account and have been able to use the same funds to purchase other stocks today. Confused

You also rabina...im glad. I thought it was only me that happened to. Was beginning to think someone at the stock exchange had it in for me. (Not Really Glad).

I make that £4.976 at close... Chocks away ginger. Come fly with me come fly down to Peru. Lol

Exactly still, what this has to do with easyjet is that don't be fooled by the naysayers and their tales of woe suggesting that it's all downward from here by easyjet.... Uk holiday industry is booming, surprised machismo could not decipher that message. Lol.

Yup, it's a very small world... As the saying goes. "but I wouldn't want to paint it"

The Royal Burgh

Just following on from the "why" topic post where there was some response as to "the cost of living crisis", incoming recession and basically were aw doomed.

Interesting piece in the local newspaper today reporting on the Dumfries branch of Barrhead Travel.

One of their agents reporting that bookings are up 25% on 2019, 75% of these are for 7 days or more... And most popular locations being Orlando, Tenerife, Alicante, Dubai, Antalya, lanzarote, cruising from Southampton, Mallorca, Paris and Gran Canaria.

What's that got to do wae Easyjet I hear you ask... Well they're no aw walking there that's for sure. Probably leaving the range rover in the long stay car park as I type.

Bang on 1863... With today's rise it will be 3 holidays and 2 range rovers for the recession / cost of living affected impoverished avg working man/woman/in between lol

Exactly DFOO2...The merchants of doom would have you believe everyone apart from the ceo of BP, Shell and Richi Sunaks wife are living in poverty and are only surviving due to handouts from the local food bank...compared to anytime in history there's probably never been so many folk in the UK that despite the "cost of living crisis" were bombarded wae 24/7...Still manage to pay the mortgage, have a fairly new car on the drive, 63" tv in every room and 2 foreign holidays per year.

Lol stormer... Hope they wurnae on way to get their covid jags, state of our roads and pathways I wouldnae be surprised.

Sun/Mail/BBC News Headlines... Covid kills 10

Love the positive outlook lol

New virus, 5 people... Seen the same story, scaremongering sensationalism by our wonderful medi

Recession reported as being on the horizon. That's been the same story for months now yet did not stop recent share price climbs.

Lots of people not able to afford holidays, that is quite true... But there are an awful lot of folk that can, and will... Just check the beaches this summer if your dubious.

Just like smoking, drinking and eating. I don't know anyone who is choosing to not have a holiday this summer due to cost of living, I do know a few who have chosen not to buy a new car, house, tv etc.

Looking forward to next ezj summer sales update and share price heading up.

Since q1 update sp is around 5% down from the level it reached back then on what was positive news...some 3 months further on hopefully more positive news helps support current level and is the launchpad to further climb in so.

You'd think with the recent encouraging news that with some more positivity coming from the next update then the price could well climb further and re-test recent highs?... What's really interesting is the growth in the holiday business, if that kerps up then the reports of would be suitors could well drive things much higher as the business must be on others "radar".

Yup, going forward it will be interesting to see whose reputation remains intact lol.

Less interesting than the last rating from Deutsche in feb with a buy signal and target of £5.80...they've all got an agenda?

Bang on proctor, your avg mug thinks that all of these huge profits/revenues from the early days of the ukraine invasion are in the back pockets of the various ceo's... Half the English premier league probably get paid as much lol.

Nothing on main uk news, but on BBC Scotland news there was quite a piece reported live from Aberdeen outside Harbours HQ regarding the 350 job losses and the angst that the region is feeling with the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce leader saying it is the tip of the iceberg and calling for UK gov intervention. There was a UK gov spokesman from the energy dept asked for his comments ( can't remember his name) he said something along the lines of "the levy is always open for review by the government" . Hopefully it's the start of something that helps force a change...and ultimately keeps 350 folk in well paid jobs.

Watching this just now, coming from Aberdeen. Same as question time... Interesting the level of support for O&G from both audience and some panelists... Numbers mentioned were uk spent 117 billion on importing oil & gas in 2022 and 25,000 jobs at risk in the North East. Missed the start so no more info but nice to see support.

Be like Xmas eve tonight, going to bed and hoping for something nice tomorrow in the way of shareholder value. Way I see it is simple : us (Harbour) V noise ( opposition party, Joe Public brainwashed by BP and She'll profits on news and the stop fossil fuel brigade), with gov. Uk in the middle. They can't please everyone, so rationale tells me there will be something for all tomorrow in an attempt to keep the lights on whilst stopping anarchy. Be surprised if that does not equal a revised sliding scale for tax on profits, tempered by O&G industry agreeing to step up the transition to renewables / carbon capture. It's inconceivable to think it will carry on as is following the industries warning of future investment, job losses etc etc.

Hope the guys in charge at all the UK O&G companies are watching tonights news and drafting their letters to gov.Uk looking for some "balance" across all uk business. The profits being made by those supplying agency workers to the NHS is staggering. One locum alone cost the tax payer an incredible 5k for one shift.
