Echo that. Thanks for the great work Paddy. ATB

Good call at the price action.

So glad the market for once has seen this as I did this morning. Usually my thinking an RNS is ok, turns out to be the kiss of death!!
Anyway, hope all the traders are happy and doing their thing. I am in the invest and wait camp so not in any rush to sell even a single share. Happy and very long here. ATB

Miles, no-one knows as they said mid April, so assume its before end of next week. Not long at any rate.

Great to see the tide has turned. Well timed for the new ISA year - possibly not a co-incidence shorts are reducing - they know now is a safe time to de-risk. For PI's who filled their boots on cheap shares - well done and enjoy the profits. Hope you put them safely in your ISA pots as the capital growth here has big potential IMO, even if it takes a year or so. At these levels, invest and wait.....and don't get sucked into arguing with random posters who are allegedly not invested, not shorting, wouldn't touch this share with a b-pole but still spend a lot of time winding up people. Very sad really and best avoided. ATB. Lovely rise today and hope this continues.

Results are reassuring and company is in a stable place. Nothing flashy but safe. Market should be happy with these results. Gla

I'm glad the buy back is now on. Makes sense to do it when SP is low and will provide a good support level for investors who stuck around when the times were hard. Bravo Looney. I've not been a fan, but think he is right on this one. All IMO etc

Remember the wise words from old....don't sell your strong performers to fund your weak ones.....ATB

Seems inevitable for international travel. Within the UK, seems unworkable and unnecessary given our vaccination programme going great guns. Will add a layer of needless red tape.
Vaccines are not 100% effective at stopping people getting covid-19 but the are near 100% effective at stopping people getting serious illness from it. So, once every adult is offered a vaccine, it's time to move on.
Children don't get sick from the illness and risk of vaccine side effects may be worse than the disease so it's not straightforward to vaccinate kids under 16 in this context.
Make the over 16s safe and then move on would get my vote. Vaccine passports within the UK is a needless distraction. IMO

Institutions buying significant holdings in cine. I wonder if we will see some sort of takeover. Entirely speculative on my part but can't shrug of the feeling this stake building has more purpose than it seems. Anyway, as long as they are buying not selling, I'm good with that! ATB

2 points here.
1. Shorting helps us PI's pick up cheap shares. If you believe that the company will withstand this, it's an opportunity to buy more cheap shares. Take Cineworld for example. Short %was 14 or so. At one point I was 25% under, I bought more. Now sitting at nearly 3 times average. So it's not all bad if you can ignore the noise.
2. The SFO should be ashamed to be taking 4 years to investigate. Meanwhile the company suffers lost contacts and the UK tax receipts take in less. Who gains here? The SFO should be investigating the shameful tactics of the big investment banks instead. But they will not as it's too intertwined with political connections.

They will have been accumulating and probably why the price rose to 120. Has dropped since with a chunk of profit taking. I see the institutions getting in as an enormously positive sign. There will be bumps but trajectory is definitely steadily upwards to 200 and beyond. The perfect captive audience for cinemas - can't go abroad, ton of new releases, people fed up of staying at home. On those wet and cold days we call our summer - cinemas will be in demand. The money made from drinks, snacks and tickets turns a profit at 25% of capacity so even with some reduced numbers for distancing - cinema chains are in for a bumper period. every investment has a risk, so invest only what you can afford to lose but you've got to be invested to get a slice of the profits. ATB

NSS 22 - 5.53 is just over my target of 5.5 - at which point I may reduce my BP holding to some degree. I am quite prepared to hold till then and gather up the dividend payments - way more than the bank and much safer than some other shares which yes have more capital growth prospects but are nowhere as safe. I have a slice of several of those but half my holding is divided between BP and Shell. Rest in a variety of shares I consider more risky but with more potential reward.
Anyway, back to your hypothesis - I had also pencilled in 2 years for that sort of value. ATB.

Hope no one is planning to sell and move on. Lots of upside yet. This share is still more than 50% below usual. Ignore the noise and wait. Patience will be rewarded. Jumping around shares may have been sensible 4 months ago due to wild movement but now it's time to hold and wait. Don't let shorters have it easy. All IMO of course. ATB with whatever you decide.

The US and UK immunisation programmes are both going great guns. For cine, these two are the key markets and it's all looking great for a splendid recovery. Looking forward to getting back to cinemas and normality. ATB

Paddy, I agree entirely. Even if unfair, a DPA at a reasonable fine is the quickest way out of this mess. Also, thank you for your efforts at keeping this board positive and upbeat despite the doomsayers that have flooded it. ATB

It's crackers that one grounded ship can lead to a 5% surge in oil price. Bonkers surely

Paddy, yes- completely agree.

Bill - sorry have reposted as my auto correct has introduced typos!

Bill, mostly yes. the shorters have seized the opportunity of the pandemic downturn of oil and ancillary companies and the SFO investigation to exert downward pressure on the SP. Each bit of news related to the SFO investigation seems to knock it down more.
The pandemic is slowly easing and the SFO case will close one way or another eventually. PFC have denied any involvement in the corruption and have not even been charged, but there is a new CEO now and my belief is he will settle the case with the SFO without any liability admitted - just to move this company on from this spiral of uncertainty. My hope i this will be quite soon. ATB

Those who bought at these levels are jolly lucky or canny investors.
I've been steadily increasing and hope this reversal sticks as I'm already quite heavy on this share so could do with not being tempted to buy more.....which I will if it drops again!
No day trading here. I'm staying put untill this is multiple of current price. ATB

Usually right, I'm sure you're right about this level of interest dropping. I'm not sure people will all stop however. I do fear unless investing maturity improves, many will lose out as currently it feels a tad like a casino, but in the early stages with a few easy wins.
Time will tell. ATB
