This was always such an interesting share to trade. Got very boring recently on an inter-day level. Something exciting must happen soon.

A dispute over union recognition and the unfair dismissal of three workers at the Green Isle Foods plan in Naas, Co Kildare has been resolved. With a third worker at the Green Isle Foods plant in Naas on hunger strike last night, mediators in the bitter dispute made final proposals to the union and management. The proposals are understood to have centred on a compensation package for loss of employment to be shared among three workers sacked by management last summer, and eight others who have been on strike in support of their colleagues ever since. Last night the general secretary of the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU), Eamon Devoy, said the mediators, Kildare TDs Bernard Durkan and Jack Wall, were making their last throw of the dice. However, he said he was “not overly optimistic”. In a joint statement today by Green Isle Foods Limited and the TEEU, the parties said the mediation process to resolve the industrial dispute at the company’s manufacturing site in Naas had concluded, with both parties agreeing to be bound by the proposals put forward by the independent mediators. "The agreement will be implemented, and accordingly, all forms of industrial action and other activity will cease with immediate effect".

No way!!!!! You may not have noticed but last march was when all markets were at their lowest. All shares will have the same profile. An 8% dividend will underpin this share.

Hi there. I know its a good long term investment but always get nervous when no dividend. Fundamentals not being properly taken into account at present. Hope that it rises a bit soon.

This is the most highly rated of the shares i hold and they have just falled 20% in a couple of weeks. There has been no specific news on GKN that appears to warrant this. Appears to be standard market jitters.

Pulled out of the share at a very small loss. Decided there was better palces for my money as nothing happening here. Still believe that the share will do well in the long term but have not got the patience. Good luck all.

What dates the trading statement scheduled for? Would like it to stop declining at least.

Another day where load more shares apparently being bought than sold. Brokers happy to buy large packet of shares from me but not happy to sell to me. Must be time for the share to tick up.

A lot of buying at 43p. Feels like strong resistance. Looking forward to next year.

Thanks for the Info. Have only a little money in this as got burned badly last year. Will keep holding.

100K of shares bought at lunchtime. Seems excessive. Am I missing something? Is it just a quick buy/sell on a narrow band so registers wrongly on display?

Well the results certainly put some life into the stock. Glad i am in this one. Solid gains with good dividend.

There appears to be mixed feeling amongst brokers. Would agree that very positive news appears to have been taken strangely. Important to restart dividend at decent amount. As soon as that occurs then strong confidence will return to the share and it will get a major lift.

Results out on Tuesday. Not expecting much to happen (+/- 1p). Anybody else got any thoughts!

Bobbing around a bit on a number of stocks. Expecting a surge next week on back of good results from eurozone GDP.

Really has surprised me how low this has got. Appreciate that commodity prices are low at the moment, but they have been high and will be high again in a couple of years. Thought stock market would have longer view. On plus is that AAL is cash rich, is a very large company, will reduce its short term investment in-line with present commodity prices, and have strong assets. Interest rates will fall further making equities more attractive especially those with guaranteed long-term value, and present estimated dividend is 8%. Always a possibility that dividend could be cut (just look at Barclays after all their assurances) but no hidden bad debts and will make good profits this year. Feels like standard herd instinct going on reducing this price (will be 30% in 5 days by start of day tomorrow) . Therefore personally believe undervalued at present. Will be buying a further £3Ks tomorrow.

Old saying that you have to be in it to win it. Have done shares enough to know that you cannot guarantee anything. However, worst feeling is if you are not in control; i.e., not in a position to buy more if it does go lower. In long term AAL is a good buy, and at present value dividend is paying >4%. However the fun is in playing it short term. Believe if you bought now and have enough money to 'average down' twice more then you should be okay. That is my strategy anyway.

Not such a great day. Surprising how things turn out. Lets hope for a better day tomorrow.

What you say is correct. My average is higher than yours and still happy. Make sure that you have money to average down. Always play in and out of the market on the swings and do not just wait for the long term. This share will bottom and you will make money. Did this with Barclays entering in at 595. It is now 370 and I am 20% in profit (in a year) and that excludes the dividends. Just need to be patient and keep to a sensible strategy. AAL is a very cash rich company, and will not go under so no risk. In my mind you have chosen a good share at a reasonably good time.

Bought in quite heavy today whilst keeping monies back for any possible re-buy at lower levels. Was very surprised that it went below 2000. Any idea why it fell so badly. Have not seen any news - issues with South Africa - major drops in commodity prices. Although broker recommendations have dropped their price, they are all well above 3000 and all re-iterate buy or outperform. Would not have thought shorters were busy here.
