A ten pence loss in value in just three days. No obvious explanation. Very disappointing.

Vote, not Bote, apologies!

Good post Bobbins2. Totally agree. You will change nothing by continuing to live in the UK. Bote with your feet and emigrate. It is the only sensible solution !

Morning Fordm, we are now in the Murcia region near to Cartagena. For you Portugal is a perfect fit given your wife’s ability to speak the language. The Governemt are trying to make it less attractive for ex pats to settle which of course has inflated property values across the country. Tavira is a very nice town on the south coast near to the Spanish border. Your difficulty will be weening yourself and your family off the incomparable efficiency of Switzerland. Good luck with your decision.

Of course Bobbins2. There are some highly intellectual posters on this board of which you are one. So many high quality posts with very interesting opinions, not just about IAG but the wider World. Well done to all. The coveted POTY award is indeed the achievement of a fine author.

You are remarkably accurate in your assessment there Bobbins2. This ridiculous control of our society is the straw that broke the camels back for us. We moved out of England and down to Spain in April and we are not regretting a second of it so far.

Bobbins2, I have a new award in early development.

(B)obbins (AFTA) a drink or BAFTA for short. Do you see what I did there ?

One never learns from previous errors. My own worst enemy !

My guess is 58. No prize for the winner but please offer up a number for some harmless fun.

Well said Fordm. Bobbins2 is our best poster of the year but this poster is by far and away the worst. I’ve not read the most recent post but I would guess it is the same critical unnecessary drivel as always. Best filtered.

RE: Looks like19 Apr 2024 15:38

Looks like we are headed for a finish of roughly 169 - up about 7p on the week. Given what a torrid week it has been, I'll take that - on Tuesday i thought we were heading back into the 140's. Looks like (for now) both Iran and Israel are declaring a draw, and spinning it as a victory in their respective countries. Lord knows what will happen in the longer term - the whole area is a tinderbox (for you young ones, that has nothing to do with online dating). Hopefully things will calm down long enough for us to return to the 180''s, at which point many people here (including myself) will be tempted to at least partially sell up, before the next crisis hits - with this share we all know the next potential disaster is never far away.

Anyway, I am now heading off for my own personal "de-escalation" - a.k.a. going to the pub. Not a Dom Perignon week, but as we were staring down the barrel a couple of days ago, I think a couple of Moretti's and some chilli nuts are well deserved. Let's see what next week brings. Have a nice weekend, and if you can't be good, don't get caught!

Drum roll……………………………………

I am pleased to announce that the winner of the coveted and much sought after LSE IAG Discussion Board Post of the Year goes to………………………………………………

Bobbins2 for the contribution on the 19th April at 15.38 that attracted an unmatched 21 recommendations. In addition to this we have now all become accustomed to the legendary post pub Friday night rants that will forever mark Bobbins2 out as the genius wordsmith that he so clearly is. Step forward Bobbins2. More drum rolls……

Bobbins2, I filtered DarrenRobinson some weeks ago. Tap on the name and read all of the posts together. Nothing but complete critisism of every poster on this discussion board. As I can’t read the posts anymore my guess is there is a pledge never to post or read the ‘garbage’ on this discussion board ever again and we are all a load of brainless investors. The old adage ‘it takes one to know one’ would seem appropriate. Disgusting with a c ? Really ? Surely no one is that low in spelling ability ?

Raises our target price up to 225 pence from 210 pence. Not all bad news today !

It’s rather ironic that as I scroll to read posts British Airways is filling space with beautiful adverts for exotic places. Not sure I want to book an exotic holiday after such a tempestuous couple of days.

Darren Robinson, I am not in the slightest bit interested in your hopeless effort to invest in shares. Having read all your previous posts, the underlying theme is your view that what everyone else posts is rubbish. Well, I could not find a single piece of information in all of your posts about IAG, so I suggest to you sir that you are the one most responsible for posting absolutely nothing of interest. I therefore nominate you as the Worst Poster of the Year ! I was rather hoping that your goodbye on the 17th March was your last post but clearly not. I shall filter your rubbish as necessary. Goodbye !!

I agree with you to a large degree but what really concerns me is what Putin has planned next given that he now believes his country has given him the mandate to continue in power and the recent atrocity in Moscow. Will he use that awful event to escalate his war on Ukraine to another level ? Nuclear even ?

Well done Bobbins2, you have blown the bl…y doors off again !!

Good to see GLG in retreat on Thursday 21st with that positive increase in share price, they are back down to 0.50 per cent, another increase next week may see the back of both GLG and Marshall Wace.

Yes but GLG reduced so the overall short position has reduced very slightly. GLG and Marshall Wace are playing Hot Potato.
