Reaches 120 will you stop posting inane questions and predictions? If that’s a yes I will put a short on to ensure it reaches your preferred buy in just to shut you up. You are becoming very dull and very predictable.

No, Bon weekend.

There’s also the fact that Liberty own a significant amount of stock in ITV. This could be a hurdle for any potential suitor, If Liberty are interested in ITV they’ll try to block any move or if not they’ll want a pretty penny for their stake. 12 months of fun to come me thinks.

Move for this company until it’s business with Vodafone has been completed. That sale has yet to get regulatory approval in Germany and that could take some time. There could yet be other suitors for ITV should Liberty get bogged down resolving their asset sale. The other suitors will be waiting for some direction on Brexit and possible £/$ movement. Until all these headwinds subside we’ll be the shorters go to share. A bit of a Santa rally is the best we can look forward to in 2018. Anyone seen the John Lewis ad yet?

Absolutely, it’s very deceptive, it should be £2+ given its fundamentals but continued Brexit mayhem and subsequent short interest have contrived to keep this share down. It won’t last forever and unless you’re investing mega bucks 135 is not a huge difference from 120 particularly when you consider a very good Divi. IMO, Investors should look at long term outlook and invest accordingly a one week view on this won’t be of much use.

Long enough and you’ll see these sort of things. I was heavily into energy and mining about 5 years ago and didn’t see the slow down and eventual collapse in both those sectors on the horizon. I foolishly thought $100+/bbl of oil was the future. I did eventually get out with a severely bruised ego but, I gleaned a lot from the experience. The most important thing I learned was patience and holding your nerve. I’ve been kicking myself for the last two years for getting out too early and not waiting for the inevitable turn around. It’s a buy and hold from me.

Needs little reason for the shorters to move in. Volumes were low this morning until the news of betting ads was digested then the volumes increased significantly. Like yesterday I expect a rally later on when they’ve had a belly full.

Short sellers filling their boots before closing their positions?

Sell off just happened, someone got cold feet?

Refusing to fall. The market must be pricing a rejection of the deal and ECJ offering an olive branch in the form of article 50 withdrawal at no cost or 27 member vote. I placed an order late last night but it hasn’t been filled, I guess that’s a good/bad thing.

No late trading from me, I’m busy looking for good odds on the Brexit deal being rejected on the 11th. They all look very tight and hardly worth the stake. What effect a rejection (looks inevitable) of the deal will have on ITV but, I’d say a significant bounce is on the cards based on the fact that it may get thrown back to the public and they look like they could reverse the whole thing. All bar the bookies odds, imo of course.

There’s a tidy Divi sitting in my account. Think I’ll hold on to it and buy a stack more once it bottoms out. The ITV Divi is the best in my bunch, it proper pumps my nads.

Is being shorted on Brexit Shiite and the Dow on China/US trade talks. Follow the money and you’ll find the truth.

At these prices STV could have a punt ;-)

The lessons in basic (6-10yo) maths is hilarious but, your grammar is J Arthur Rank. You make me chuckle so I’ll leave off the filter option. Everyone, please keep feeding the cabbage.

Is still in enough profit to sell and buy back in again at 120 then, they have my utmost respect but, to advocate selling at a loss then buying back in once the share has botyomed is ludicrous and counter intuitive. Investors would be better placed to hold and buy more if the share bottoms thereby leveraging their average down. “Rule #1 don’t lose money, Rule #2 Don’t forget rule #1”. Warren Buffett.

“The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient”. I’ll be holding regardless of what foolishness is spouted on here. A big drop is nothing more than a buying opportunity.

Doubtless there’ll be some downward pressure on the FTSE following the 11 Dec debacle but, a 15% drop would be unjustified and could trigger all sorts of foolishness with hostile takeover rumours flying around. Can’t see that happening, there’s too much support from institutions and pension funds for that. I admit I could be wrong but, it’ll be a very interesting week whatever the outcome.

What is your reasoning for a 15% drop? This is still a company that’s making a profit, paying a tidy dividend and will continue doing so for some considerable time. Barclays also has a equal weight recommendation and a target of 170. Please pass on your pearls of financial wisdom.

High five wasn’t to celebrate an oil cut deal, it was Putin congratulating MBS on getting away with a horrific murder. Putin obvs wants a few tips.
