We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
I was in a lot a while back, through the rights issue etc. Ultimately sold out when I got back to evens after a turbulent time.
I've kept reading this thread and seen the exact same comments as the year before, ie if this happens it'll take off etc etc
Now thinking about getting back in, expect a big drop on Monday and I'm contemplating trying to get in then. If I do though, I think it'd be half of what I'm willing to invest with the other half retained for any future RI.
I bailed out of this share about 6 months ago, but was invested for about a year until then.
Reading this forum, it's basically a repeat of everything I read during those 12 months, just with different names. Some people desperate for it to go up saying pent up demand, others forecasting it going down.
One thing I learned was that it was unpredictable. Some days you'd think it was guaranteed to go up then it'd go down and vice versa. On a similar note, you think it won't stop falling and something unexpected will come out and it increases, and sometimes the opposite.
The worst thing to do with this share is constantly watch it, invest what you can afford to lose then check it every week / month and exit at the price you would have been happy with when you invested
They've been writing for about 6 months now unfortunately and they have very limited clout
You basically guaranteed it would happen last week.
The problem is, most people will want this share to go up, read your posts and receive confirmation bias. It's not very fair to them. There's far too much confirmation bias in this board. I think people need to understand that you are super optimistic and WAM is super-pessimistic. It's worth reading both your posts as there's an abundance of good information you both post, but readers need to understand the above and not think one is an idiot and one is perfect.
168 not looking great Big Blue?
I would give kudos to big blue. The lack of drop after such rubbish news shows the share really is resilient.
Good luck to everybody
Not dropped too badly so I'd say that's very good news.
Big Blue, 30 minutes to see 168+. I really hope you're right but seems pretty outlandish to me.
I'm taking it easy. I'm pretty amazed you found a post from last week, gold star for digging.
The share was confusing me, I couldn't understand why it was going up when I felt it was a cert to go down. I won't be confused tomorrow morning though and might buy back in.
I agree, they want to but they're not. It's the actions, or lack of, that's the issue
Doesn't really matter what we're doing, it matters what every country iag connects to / from does.
UK doing good is essentially a very small cog.
Without a doubt Big Blue.
Time will tell but it has to go red.
Big Blue I'll have some of what you are on. 168+ at 08.15 on the 18th January 2021, absolutely no chance.
Best thing though is that everyone has had the weekend to get over the news so drop won't be as bad as if it was announced at midday on Friday.
You do realise it was announced after the markets closed? It's terrible news for this to happen and there's no other way of looking at it.
This share confuses me. I briefly bought in last week then basically sold pretty quickly.
I was certain it'd go down today with the Brazil news etc but it's went up.
Not a share for the feint hearted!
Good luck to all involved.
I just booked a family holiday in October through BA holidays but concerned that it's after the 31st August grace period and I end up losing money.
I can see why people won't book till everything settles down and becomes less unpredictable
Donmac they do mutate, but we're not in a normal situation. Every single thing is highlighted and it feels Iike politicians are trying to outdo each other to be the harsher hawks. The reactions to any negative change always outweigh the actual result of the change.
Another new strain found in Japan unfortunately.
Sundenza you are right, I missed that about Pfizer preliminary results stating it'll work, which is good news.
This is just one set though, hopefully they all work.
The rest of the negatives are still true. I'd be much happier buying now knowing the SA variant isn't insurmountable but I still don't understand why cabinet ministers state it may be an issue after Pfizer state differently?
The "share getting held back" line annoys me though. Read it so many times in the last 10 months, no one is suppressing the share price.
Some of the comments are laughable, being held back etc etc.
The share price isn't rising as there are lockdowns, cabinet ministers are saying vaccines may not work on the SA variant, you will soon need a negative test to enter the UK and the head of Heathrow says it's a major issue as they wanted negative tests to replace quarantine, not both.
I get that people want a high share price, but I'm still amazed it's held so well with the above. I'm lurking to buy, but not at this price with these unknowns (and there may be more I haven't read about).
