Market Context & Impact

Competitive Advantage: easyJet's 84% near-term coverage is among the highest for European low-cost carriers, offering stronger immediate protection than peers like IAG (75% for Q1) or Air France-KLM (70% for Q1).

CEO Outlook: CEO Kenton Jarvis recently stated that while the airline is "currently protected" by these locked-in lower prices, the benefit will reduce as older hedges expire and are replaced by newer contracts at potentially higher market rates.

No-one really knows bpc. I have bought during the last 2 days, with the mindset 'ok this may go lower, but in a few months time the price may have recovered.' Long term this appears a good purchase price. Risk appetite and management probably is the best means of assessing whether to buy or sell.

Good to read and provides revenue visibility.

Sirius minerals, now that is a ghost from the past. Lucky for me I watched on from a distance. Yes, Sirius stuffed many small investors and it was a lesson in never falling in love with a share and never going "all in". Whilst I'm hopeful with my ITM investment, at the end of the day little investors such as myself are often the last to know or accept when things start going wrong.

All the best to all ITM investors.

Gin, perhaps when you remortgage take out a bigger loan on the house, thereby allowing you to buy more itm shares! 😉

Just joking, never listen to any advice given on a BB, particularly from an idiot such as myself.

The LTSA is a very welcome read ...the Market likes to see reoccurring revenue. Excellent news.

You'll have a bigger shock when you look at the gas price!

Well said Jas ... Red Ed is a one man recking ball. He should be held accountable, but the PM has no backbone.

Fully agree Terry when you write about Red Ed ...

"Unfortunately it is a very simple situation, if he does not get what he wants he will start a leadership contest and he is far more popular that PM and RR, in fact the most popular within Labour, they either do what he wants or he will unseat them and take the top job. PM and RR are powerless and in the control of the left wing of the Labour party and Islamists."

But what Labour and all their Marxist MPs forget is that in 2015 the majority of the public hated the idea of Red Ed becoming Prime Minster. That in some way explains why Red Ed is rarely seen in public the madness of his energy policy, I.e. him and his policy is a total embarrassment. Red Ed should be held accountable, but it won't happen, like it didn't happen when Gordon Brown sold off the Gold cheaply.

Many people have become so rude, perhaps a byproduct of social media and chat boards such as this.

As Mike Tyson said, "social media has made people too comfortable with disrespecting others without fearing immediate physical consequences. He highlighted that the digital world allows people to talk recklessly behind a screen, whereas in the past, such disrespect would have resulted in being punched in the face."

Anyway, sound results from ITV today.

I would like to invest but it is the likelihood of a further fund raise that is holding me back. If they completed a large fundraise, raising say £10m, then I would probably buy in. I suspect quite a few investors are similarly waiting for the raise of funds.

Take your spam elsewhere ... I was 'invested' in ENET when it was 50p. Horrible investment, along dreadful dilution.

Quick dip and then up it goes ... MMs trying their luck with stop loses.

Reduced pension contributions:

"The Trinity Retirement Benefit Scheme has purchased an insurance policy to cover its remaining uninsured members, a "buy in". This has resulted in the Group no longer needing to make the remaining scheduled funding contributions. This has reduced our total expected scheduled funding contributions by £8.6m."

Read as being OK.

"We are pleased to have increased our adjusted operating profit to £104.7m, driven by decisive action on costs as we move forward with a leaner and more strategic structure. In a year marked by disruption in the search and referral landscape, we have demonstrated our resilience with a strong financial performance."

"We have set a clear direction for the company through three strategic priorities, and we are already executing them at speed, with six digital subscription launches so far and a strong uptick in video output. By leveraging our deep understanding of our communities and continuing to move with our audiences, we are building a more sustainable future for our content and our business as a whole."

Goodness the gas price has shot up today, which given the situation in the Middle East is understandable.

Because I'm a vindictive person (something I need to address), if I was the CEO of SQZ I would be on the phone to Red Ed to say "we are turning off all gas supplies in the next 24 hours (due to some spurious health and safety concerns). Good luck mate!"

But our CEO is a better person than myself.
