What on earth is all this nonsense? So many closed-view messages coming in, as if the drop of recent days is due to talk of listing alteration. For real??

As a single example of the nonsense, IAG has similarly lost ground in recent days. These are wider issues at play. So how is TUI faring its fellow travel stock in IAG? You’d think from all this chat that TUI had tanked. Yet IAG has dropped back near its 3-month low, while TUI is still more than 35 percent above its 3-month low. The truth is the TUI is holding rather well given the wider global picture of last week and still primed to continue its rise. Calm down dears. And good luck to you on your short Stupmy. Bigger spheres than mine.

All eyes on 1.30

Did you turn up with your baseball bat, Roger? Or was it Twink looking too tempting in his chaps?

So which one of you was it then? Lol

Fret not about the US stock party everybody… Remember the pound strengthened more than one per cent against the dollar today. So add that into your comparisons with USD stocks. All still looking great and geared up. No rush.

Roger, login on a computer not the phone app, then from your home screen you’ll see Shareholder Meetings tucked away on the right… Click through to that and you’ll see where you can give your VDTK instructions

Can’t you do it electronically via your broker’s AGMs tab?

Fluctuated a lot, but in the 5 years pre-pandemic the market cap averaged at least double where it is now. Just search for historical market cap and you’ll find some charts, eg on Tradingeconomics

Thanks echoed. Just to put it here in black and white:

Deutsche Bank have uplifted their TUI price target to 900p.

Better times ahead. Patience rewarded.

If you look a couple of messages down I abandoned that idea at 13.39 when the payroll data came in tighter than forecast. So I was wrong on timing. I still maintain that when the market thinks interest rate cuts are approaching, the market will zoom out of bearish trend and TUI will go ballistic, but that’s hardly a revelatory prediction eh. Today’s data was absolutely not an indicator of that. At least I’ve been honest about my price targets and they’re all in the same direction, unlike Stupmy predicting it’ll go either 57.294648 upwards or 32.04639261718262 downwards. No offence, Stupmy, I enjoy it and you’ve made some good calls on your gaps :)

I doubt it’ll get things moving — higher jobs, lower unemployment, tighter than forecast. So I’m definitely abandoning my prediction and saying I was way wrong on this. Will have to wait bit longer… but yes… hopefully Santa will do the trick.

Seen_it_done_it, LOL, I share the mirth, but a lot of people forget quite how depressed this has been. People need this to go up a LOAD more to break even and recoup some bread sauce, let alone order bigger turkeys. As an example, and I stated this openly earlier this year, my sell limits don’t start until 850 and go up to 1300ish. 700 is still massively below the Rights Issue TERP, and things are looking substantially more positive and bullish for the future than it was at that point.

If I had to place a bet, and it’s a cautious but reasoned one, I’d say this isn’t TUI-specific resistance here but market-wide; FTSE 250 2-year chart is a good visual for this, because we’re at a crest within the overall bearish trend from which market could break out or continue back down on the bearish trend; we’ll hover around here til the NFP data is released at 1.30pm UK time, then we’ll see a sudden uplift at that time, which will break the FTSE 250 out of its 2-year bearish trend, and we could see TUI touch 700 by end of day. You can quote me on that whether I’m right or wrong…

Encouraged to see that while IAG down 3.5% this morning, having erased all of yesterday’s gains, TUI holding all if its. Get TUI while you can I say. Braced for further rises.

IAG and FTSE 250 gathering steam now towards US market open. If these TUI results coincide with a FTSE 250 breakout from its interminable stagnancy (not just the last year — it’s still where it was 5 years ago), TUI price could go up mighty fast.

It’s nice to feel I can come out of hiding again. Remember we’re still at extremely low price levels here. Everything in the results points to significant improvements on 2019…. not just improvements on pandemic but improvements on pre-pandemic. Even debt leverage improved. And the market cap is currently still multiples below pre-pandemic. Wakey Wakey. I hope to continue my slow yawning emergence from hibernation.

Thoughts on when?

Can’t even load the URU website. Poor things. I guess the several hundred pounds of web hosting charges aren’t worth it for the limited potential reward. I mean, if you were sitting on a goldmine then maybe but sadly we’re ... Oh wait….

A fellow investing compadre reckons that Haydale’s concrete coatings could be used to reinforce RAAC… anyone know anything about that? On the surface it does seem like a perfect outing for graphene and a potential cash cow… Too hopeful?
