I’m fairly sure that’s an internal email, if you are an employee you are probably skating on thin ice. Especially as they may be looking to off load people and disciplinary issues are one of the criteria. This forum isn’t anonymous, TUI can demand your contact details. Please be careful.
@Amers. IMO posts on this board make zero difference to the Metro SP. Ramping and Deramping is a waste of time and clogs up BBs, this should be a place where one debates a share and aids decision making.
It’s why I like this board because occasionally that happens.
Amers, he's right, I tried to say something that didn't fit the narrative and was accused of being a shorter, a paid deramper etc etc.. Anyone who says something slightly against the grain is ripped to shreds on this board, that's the sad thing. Investors must listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision. All the intelligent posters have been driven away by the bully brigade.
Get ready for my slating.... here it comes...
Great tip, the boards are useful to get a feel for a share but when someone says it’s going to the moon just ignore it, occasionally they are right but it’s more luck than judgement.
The best tip is where do you think this share will be in a years time? If it’s up buy it and vice versa. Also, it’s very fluid at the minute I would always use a stop loss.
The best investors in the world cut losses and let the good ones ride, you don’t want to be stuck with a share that keeps going down and down. Horrible place to be praying for a takeover or massive event to get your money back.
In fact just buy the naked trader book, it’s covers everything.
Buy order at 4 quid myself, It stinks of the MIMO brigade, I know a lot of first time traders who have been buying this and Dart. Lots of young pilots on furlough with thousands in the bank and nothing better to do. I was shocked when a mate of mine, 24 said he’s just dropped 5k in last week. He has never ever asked me about investing even though he knows Ive been doing it for years.
My take is volatility will be very high as they buy in, then cack their pants and sell on a faint whiff of a pull back.
I’m gonna trade it and not own it for the next month.

Has no on this site heard of a stop loss? I don't know how anyone can watch a share keep going down and down.
Swanny, two things, couldn't agree more on oil, its now my biggest investment, I'm using an ETC, much better than an oil company as it just follows the price (ish) Secondly, can I recommend the naked trader book. A couple of his rules on investing are to always set stops and never average down and a second book called The Art of Execution. A Similar read, the bit I liked is that the best managers in the world only get it right about half the time. They let those run and bin the rest. Hope they are of some use.
Good luck with this investment.
wow..... you couldn’t make it up.
I haven’t made a prediction either way, that’s because i don’t have a time machine. Any chance of the lottery numbers for tonight?
Wow, and if it doesn’t will you refund the money to people blindly following your advice?
You probably missed the point where I said I own both my friend. I think J2 is a fantastic business and will do really well, however their package business is a replica of package businesses from the past.
Sorry about the Benidorm quip, I’m just saying they are after a different market. At last glance I didn’t notice jet2 busses running around the lanes of the Seychelles or Mauritius. Nor did I see a Jet2 cruise ship get the award for the cruise best ship in the world (MS Europa-TUI product)
Anyway I digress, call me what u wish, I don’t really care as I own shares in both companies and am confident of their future. You’ve clearly fell in love with this particular one which is against every rule of investing I know.
GLA and happy flying
Meanwhile the oil market recovers as expected. I’ve averaged up for the fourth and final time today and it’s one of biggest investments. My WTI ETF is still only at 30% of its price at the turn of the year.
Just a thought for anyone who is looking for an alternate investment. My thoughts on Metro are that it’s stuck where it is for the foreseeable future with investors hopeful that it’s the target of a more and more unlikely takeover.
Will it happen? maybe... but this website is full of boards hopping for a takeover, the vast majority never happen.

Hello Holly and welcome onboard.
Its my opinion that TUI will indeed get through this crisis and emerge stronger. They will however be saddled with some considerable debt which the management has made its top priority, therefore no more dividends and capex for some time, the debt is also fairly cheap so servicing it shouldn't cripple the company. I personally think that in a years time the share price will be above todays levels, by how much I've no idea. But it wasn't so long ago, that this company was earning in the region of a billion euros and its SP was 18 quid. In a normal year, post crisis when profits are not being affected by external problems and over blown crisis, the SP would be in the 8-10 range.
PS, they expect to resume regular trading fairly soon as Europe and the far East emerges from the shackles of Covid.
PPS, I agree with an earlier poster, Covid is here to stay and we will just have to get on with it, expect flying to be ram packed as it always was and boarding a flight is at your own risk. There's no other way.
I think the average investor is looking around at what’s happening LINO (love that) and realising that the country is getting on with life, I’m in rural Cheshire and the lockdown ended about three weeks ago around here.
We’ve had as much Covid as crime in the village and that’s bugger all. People have been meeting up (sensibly) for ages, the roads are busy as they were last year. Businesses are opening back up saying they are “essential”
The government are running a sh*t show and acting like scared rabbits with no idea what to do, pandering to the pensioner vote whilst they sacrifice the rest of us.
This morning we hear they are introducing quarantine... FCS, we are five months too late, yet another nail in the coffin of the aviation industry, bye bye another 50,000 jobs...
Consider this... the lockdown was in place solely to help the NHS... well the nightingale has never been more than 1% full so what the hell are we doing extending this farce for further?
Oil, great short term play. I would however never invest in an oil company especially on the AIM market, learnt it all with the Falklands and Xcite energy 10 years or so back.
Even when the minors find the black gold, they can’t do anything with it and PI’s get diluted to hell and back. The only winners are the directors talking incredible (similar to FTSE100) salaries out of the business. Take Hurricane for example, if you invested 6 years ago. you would have lost 70% of your investment. Meanwhile the boss took 600k out of the business last year.....
Oil is at historic lows, but.... it’s relatively easy to manipulate the price upwards through a combination of supply cuts and more expensive operations being scaled back. Oil is vital for our economy, yes long term E-vehicles will take over (TSLA still my biggest holding :)) but look around, oil is in everything. It’s not going away and it will bounce back. IMO the easiest one bagger in history. Plus, you can’t really lose on commodities, oil is never going to go bust.
ps, I’m in the travel industry, my company has had the most bookings in its history for cruising 2021...
