Castle. WAMs 80p prediction was pre-RI. With the RI factored in he was about a quid out!
An RI was predicted, but no-one knew the ratios.
I'm with you in that if my average was anything above 145 I'd probably sell. Under 145 I'd be happy to hold and go with the ride.
I have some history with this share, participated in the RI, held onto it for months and ended up with c9,500 shares with an average of 141.
I was up about £3k at one point then ended up with a paper loss for months. Ultimately I was ecstatic to sell at 143 and make a very small profit.
I have now been lurking a week or so trying to find a re-entry point. Being involved since about May last year and watching the SP every day, I'm genuinely surprised the share price is still so high with all the lockdowns etc.
I don't feel comfortable investing right now, but definitely want to. I don't have a specific entry point, but currently feel that the current lockdown situation doesn't merit a 160 sp. Even at 140 I'd maybe not invest right now.
Anyway, hope to join everyone who is invested fairly soon, but probably late January / early February. If I never join you it means you have done great and the share price doesn't drop from here.

Thanks Dean
I've had a quick look but can't find the answer. Does anyone know when the initial 2020 results are released? I'm thinking the end of Jan?
Thanks in advance.
Agreed George when they have anonymous sources, but this wasn't like that.
Oxford's Bell, who advises the government's vaccine task force, said on Sunday he thought vaccines would work on the British variant but said there was a "big question mark" as to whether they would work on the South African variant.
Sundenza....
This is one of places. Think I read it on dailymail this morning but not certain but basically the same story....

I can't see any reason why this will go up today. National lockdowns and admission that the vaccine might not work against the SA strain is not good news.
I'm very surprised the sp is still so high.
I am looking to get back in around Feb/March. I'd hate to be holding this over Christmas, it'd spoil my day tbh as I'd be stressing about.

That was as brutal as I've seen here. Feel sorry for everyone invested. All the best
Unfortunately yes. I sold at 143 post vaccine announcement and rued it since, but happy with the decision now reading the news and eliminating the stress of this share. Would love to get back in, but I think Feb or March is now the best time to enter. Travel from UK being banned in multiple countries is horrible for the travel sector.
I sold out at 143. I have been involved here for about 8 months I think, certainly more than 6.
I had averaged down to 141 so sold 9k shares at a couple of hundred profit. I was down thousands at one point so removing the stress of this share from my life for a little bit.
If it drops back into the 130s I'll buy back in, otherwise good luck to everyone, it's been some ride and I think you will be well rewarded for persevering.
Can't see anything else than a drop of about 3%-5% unfortunately. As usual, I hope I'm wrong and it stays above 135.
Eli Lily drug gets fda approval in more good news.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/health/covid-antibody-treatment-eli-lilly.html?smid=tw-share
Not seen this posted today, but Grant Shapps saying it may be possible and that a test and release system is making good progress to reduce the quarantine period.
Lucky. I was basically saying I fear a fall but hope for a rise.
In terms of the vaccine, the announcement today was essentially one of three parts before it is given approval. If all 3 components are proven successful then I expect this to go above 160 but if any of the three components fail then I can see this dropping below 100 as it's essentially one of the vaccine horses out of the race.
Hopefully that reads better!
I'd expect a down day tomorrow, but it's obviously anyone's guess. US airlines shares pretty comparable to half 4 too. I'd be happy if this is a new low, and there's a bit of a slow climb but a rapid decline on bad news isn't out of the question either.
I believe a vaccine is a 3 stage process and efficacy is one component. If/when all 3 are met I'd hope for 160 based on today's reaction, but if one of those 3 fails it'll end up sub-100 again unfortunately. My major hope is that they wouldn't have released the efficacy news without faith in the other 2 components and that this mink issue doesn't really mess things up.
Investeroid...it was over 6 quid. Looks like you've factored in the 3 for 2 shares on the actual share price but not the shares. So it either be over 6 quid multiplied by the shares at the time, or the factored in ratio multiplied by the shares in circulation now.
HL was similar but not as bad as you've said about Halifax
George, sounds like you're on a wind-up now and I can see you've been pretty successful.
All data needs fact checked, but I believe the average age of death in the UK is 81 whilst the average covid death is 82! Governments around the world have prioritised reducing the death rate over the economy, so giving the vaccine to the most vulnerable is best for everyone.
I'm 39 and don't need the vaccine, give it to people who need it ASAP and we'll get over this. Whether you or I believe what has been done is correct doesn't matter now as it's happened and won't change as too many reputations are on the line, what we need now is an end game and this would be the start of it.
I started investing here about 6 months ago. For a good while I assumed that when AAL had a good day after London closed then IAG would see the same when trading opened.
What I've experienced is that if AAL opens down then IAG will drop, but AAL essentially going up when we're out of hours doesn't automatically mean IAG will go up the next day.
Here's hoping tomorrow is a day that follows AALs increase.
