I used to use IG, link below, but futures are so misleading some of the time, I've seen so many times where the futures over night compared to opening are way of the mark. They can still be helpful now and again though but again take them lightly unless there is a major move.

Some on here know how much I detest the Tories and how much of a mess they have made regarding this virus BUT and that BUT is hard to say, this quaratine decision now which some would call kneejerk is imo the right thing to do, if the virus is taking off in Spain then it makes sense to act sooner rather than later unlike what they did at the start, so, and it pains me to say I agree with this decision! Its obvious they know they cannot leave it until last minute this time and to me it looks like an admittance of the mistake of delaying they made at the start but again imo its the correct decision.

What I did find funny watching the news was some of the "Holiday makers" Complaining about having to quaratine? What exactly do you want the Tories to do, you went on effing holiday during a PANDEMIC? Did you want them to wait until you got off holiday to make the announcement? This is a gripe many wont agree with, but WHY are you going effing holiday during a pandemic, is that not stupidity? Having the cheek to complain about being quaratined when you get back from your jollies amid the pandemic is the height of ignorance!

Just showing that even though I hate the Tories I'll admit when they are doing something good, I just wish some of the Tories would do the same when they do bad though :(

All imo and I await the onslaught :)

Btw Leaf you mention the posts of ChrisEngland one of the most positive in regards to IAG and whatamess whos one of the most negative, so its no wonder you are now posting as your head must be all screwed up due to reading such conflicting posts! Do yourself a favour and look at all the news that could come out, whats going on in thw economey/world etc that could affect IAG short and long term and go from there because these boards can be the worst of places for advice but also the best :)

You are going to get a hell of a lot of mixed views, some will say sell, buy lower, some will say hold for long term, some will say what they think benefits them more than you! So what you need to do is look at the facts you currently know and also what could occur, are there more negative than positives you think may come this week?

Trying to find the high or low point in any day is very difficult so only you can decide when to deal assuming you decide to do so? For all we know IAG could drop at the start and end up on the day as who knows what news could come out, however it could also rise and then drastically fall throughout the day or drop and drop further, we just dont know!

You have what I'd consider a good price at £1.90 as IAG in the future will almost certainly be higher but I wont lie, I think IAG will go lower than its current price due to what I personaly think will happen but again who knows? So you need to ask yourself is it worth selling now to maybe get in cheaper to make a few hundred more or maybe a thousand or so or should you just hold and see? Its a tricky ole thing this share trading.

I'll just add that I'm overly negative on the forward outlook for the markets in general due to the mess we are in but that doesn't mean we cant make some money in these times if your lucky enough and willing to gamble a little! What ever you decide good luck :)

Sorry for rambling but I didn't know how to shorten this to try to explain what I'm thinking lol! You'll also notice I didnt tell you to sell, hold or buy :)

I bet your fun at parties! Do you go around correcting how people pronounce words? Theres a reason we have proof readers for people right books!

Oh and yes I know its "You're" I do it all the time so left it in just for fun :)
Yes, yes I know its write not right!

I hate it when people correct others spelling or grandma :O ;)

Fair response :)

Moonman what if whatamess's 80p prediction turns out to be true, is he then still an idiot? My reason for defending him/her is simply because I see people who just constantly bang on about how good IAG is even as the sp stagnates or drops? I'm not saying IAG isn't a good company as it clearly is, I think WaM would admit that BUT its in a different time than it was in before which is clearly going to seriously affect it as a business.

For me rampers are the same if not worse then derampers.

We have had no major correction in the Dow or FTSE, (Get ready for the word worse) The China situation could get worse, the virus situation is getting worse and could get worse, we are in a recession which could get worse, people are losing jobs which could get worse, the economy is on its knees and could get worse, companies are going bankrupt or closing for good which could get worse! See a pattern here? My point is, if things actually do end up being far worse than they are now then IAG could hit whatever price, theres so much out there that could cause major turmoil yet some either seem oblivious to it or just want to stick their fingers in their eyes and go lalalalalala!

I understand shareholders dont want to read negative comments about their beloved shares but sometimes the truth can hurt, assuming it turns into a truth!

By the way I'm neither ramper/deramper/pumper/dumper, I'm a realist!

@whatamess Ah so it was you who put it out there and caused all the kerfuffle! Does that mean we can claim what we loose (Assuming we loose) From you ;) Your a badman! Its one of the reasons I wont ever block anyone as you never know what that certain person might say that may help you in making a decision! Yea I know taking anyones pov on these boards is risky but theres are some out there who do make good points regarding companies so its wise to have all eyes open. Have a good weekend all, enjoy it as much as you can and wait for whatever next week :)

I agree, well all we can all do is sit back and wait for next week, I hope the Yanks pump as much Fiat into their system and China send some roses to Trump cos we may need that kind of luck!

Paddyboy I admire your enthusiasm but I fear the worst next week but then again fearing the worst seems to be my goto and I've been wrong so many times before!

Market will hate this next week :( Markets hate uncertainty, seen it so many times so IAG will probably be no different. The one question I dont see anyone asking is why the heck are they "Thinking" About an RI if they had £10b back in March? WTF has happened for them to need to do this now? £200m per week burn over 16 weeks is £3.2b leaving roughly 6.8 and if you believe all the skies are full rubbish then why the need for this high a fund raise?

Next week results are going to be very interesting and this rumour now proved fact is now going to cause concerns leading into next week results and if they are as bad as now looksthen who knows what the SP is going to be com Friday? If we have a market selloff which looks like it could happen due to the China situation and the stimulus issues then its literaly a perfect storm! £2.21 its been nice knowing you lol! Effing shares, why do we do it? :)

Ignore the moronic responses you tend to get from some people, there are many helpful posters on these boards but also the pure ignorant ones, I'm sure you also know theres people who give their point of view which is based on their agenda not facts and some who just want to pump or dump on a share for other reasons known only to them!

In answer to your question as Ian mentioned, institutions buying as they have is a good sign, Browns are going in the right direction businesswise but they do have debt which needs to be serviced and if the poop hits that fan all over again then times will be tricky for most shares including B.

So to clarify, imo Browns is a hopefully turning into being a good share again, its had a bit of a topsy turvy past but then again many shares do and ave came back stronger, its got decent revenue and big players investing, if things dont go haywire again then Browns will go in one direction and thats up

......BUT and I'll say it again .....BUT if a hell of alot of the financial people/experts are correct then we have a correction coming for the markets and if some are to be believed its not just a little one! Dont forget we are in a recession and we wont just pull out of that recession in a few months, if anything we have some realy bad times coming, the lag from whats going on will slowly start to catch up and then we will have some big issues cropping up.

.....BUT (I like big BUTS) people always need clothes or do they? Hmm?

Hth sort of helps but I do ramble on about nothingness sometimes!

@whatamess @Dark_Night or any pm holders. Do you own physical? I've been wanting to get into the gold and silver phys game but not sure with path to take, its more of a "Leave for the kids" Kind of investment, the gold and silver shiny stuff is a nice thing to pass down. I realise that silver has a 20% tax on it or something like that, so people tend to buy from abroad but I wouldn't know where to start! I have just placed a £241 bid at my local auction house for a gold SA Pond coin as my 2nd ever purchase of gold coins lol, my first was back when you could buy sovereigns for £225! I was also once offered a 3oz gold chain for £300 when gold was £250 and I said NO :(

@ChrisEngland Yea totaly agree that theres plenty of upside for Brown, shame I didn't get into Boo but Brown went up yesterday and today so not to bad :)

I was going to buy some Boo but the I stupidly looked at the charts and thought it could fall more, it still may do! I bought some Brown Group instead due to them being online focused now and with all the fatties out there (No offence fatties) There will be a rush for plus sized clothes :o :)

No matter how long it takes to finaly get a safe working vaccine maybe one benefit that will come from all the testing and trials is a cure to the common cold a.k.a Man Flu!I think all males on this board would agree that would be great :)

Ty for the reply

Whats making you think its going to 25p? I dont own just interested in why you think it will hit the RI price?

Touché

lol true
