@tacet, very volatile share here, historically, though covid has made some others even wilder. Good trading opportunities if that's your game but you can get your fingers burned badly, too.

I still expect a better-than-expected trading update and an upcoming dividend, but of course, I could be wrong. DYOR and good luck with it.

Significant resource or exploration upside likely

@mymatemarmite " no idea if i am being rude to you or not!!"

Depends on if I'm a canting Whig or not, LOL.

@Dagger, there's no right time, especially with this share. The afternoon opening in NY (morning there, obviously) can flip things on their head. With a share that is so news driven, news can drop at any time that changes the picture.

That's not true with everything. I definitely have seen some trading patterns. I think if you are going to play the game of trying to time it, I'd check the history of a share over several months, at least, to see if it is in a trading pattern. If it is, that might be a better guide than any charts as to the best time to buy. But trading patterns, when they develop, will often be different for different shares, and they can be present for several weeks or months and then be gone forever.

I don't usually try. I decide the shares I want to own, and the price level at which I think they are good value. If they hit that price or lower, I buy them. If I hit the low for the day, well, I got lucky.

For all participants on this board:

"No class of man is altogether bad, but each has its own faults and virtues; and these shipmates of mine were no exception to the rule. Rough they were, sure enough; and bad, I suppose; but they had many virtues. They were kind when it occurred to them, simple even beyond the simplicity of a country lad like me, and had some glimmerings of honesty."

Good night, all.

@mymatemarmite
Since it's now Stevenson day, I'll tell you how I view your loan proposition, LOL:

"Now this was one of the things I had been brought up to eschew like disgrace; it being held by my father neither the part of a Christian nor yet of a gentleman to set his own livelihood and fish for that of others, on the cast of painted pasteboard."

@TomE "you have written a BOOK on it"

Actually, Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a book, and I'll repeat the last quote, and add another:
"I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I believe they both get paid in the end; but the fools first."

And the next:
“Alan," cried I, "what makes ye so good to me? What makes ye care for such a thankless fellow?"

"Deed, and I don't, know" said Alan. "For just precisely what I thought I liked about ye, was that ye never quarrelled:—and now I like ye better!”

Scary, spoon, I think I agree with everything you just wrote. The world really has turned upside down, LOL.

The only thing that is really certain is that there is no certainty going forward, never has been any since this started. We don't even have certainty about what has happened so far because the statistics are all over the place.

I think it's about 95% certain that we'll either beat the thing or learn to live with it by this time next year, and about 90% that flights will be pretty much normal by spring, probably sooner. It might take testing both before and after flights, but I still think it will happen. So I still think this is a winning long term investment.

But what happens between now and then could be mild or monstrous, both for the disease and for the share. We shall see. Even if I wanted to trade, I wouldn't be trading on this one.

Agree with Portland, lots of resources. Also, you can use a share screener, that's of some value. Here's one: https://www.investing.com/stock-screener/?sp=country::4|sector::a|industry::a|equityType::a|exchange::3%3Ceq_market_cap;1

Choose your share and search through everything on it. They've got financials, trends, news, etc.

I don't trust anything on wikipedia but I read what it says in case it triggers anything I want to look into further. Not just on the company but on the board of directors. Also use LinkedIn on the directors.

Read the last couple annual reports to get a sense of what the company actually does. Learn how to read the financials, this article is a decent starter: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-3196579/How-read-balance-sheet-shows-company-strong-not.html

This article is also, on a basic level, pretty useful, IMO: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/guides/article-2525305/Talking-tactics-What-type-investor-you.html

This is also useful at a very basic level: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investingguides/article-2537768/MIDAS-SHARE-TIPS-Your-complete-guide-joining-excitement-share-buying-stock-market.html

Note the distinction between trading and investing. Decide which you want to do and do it. If you want to do both, do both, but don't get caught up in trading your investments. You can both trade and invest in the same share if you want to, but decide which of your funds are investments and invest them and don't be tempted by the trader's siren song. Only do that with your trading funds, if you want to trade.

Share chat forums can also be a useful resource. NEVER trust anything anyone says on a forum, but they may point you to useful resources / info. Just don't accept their interpretation of the data. Always ask, "What else could this mean?" Lots of people on share chat forums are crazy, illogical, dishonest, etc.

Check what the brokers are saying, but then check the brokers' track record in the sector. If they don't have a good track record in the sector, then you can look at their analysis but be suspicious. If they do have a good track record, still be suspicious, maybe just not quite as suspicious.

LSE's news tab is pretty useful, because it lists a lot of news that may not even mention the company but is relevant to the sector. Read what you can find on the sector so you can pick up any macro trends that might be hitting it. For instance, how is Brexit going to affect the sector you are looking at? Someone has written something about it somewhere, find that.

Good luck!

@nidec "just block them"
That would be great if everyone would, but some seem to think the world is a better place if they argue with trolls.

@LearningTrader
Look near the top of your screen, you'll see a tab for Regular Share Chat, one for Premium Share Chat, and one for Filters. Choose filter. Type in "whatamess". Click filter. Do it again and this time type in "Barcode". If AudaciousAndy is still here (I don't know, I've got him filtered) and still responding to them on every single post, do it again and type in AudaciousAndy.

And anyone else who can't add anything to this board except an argument with them.

All their comments disappear and all you get is a lovely green box showing that something got filtered. You can unfilter them later if you ever change your mind.

"May I point out that many SOLD and have LOST OUT."

Sure, friend, I know that. But if they are buying and selling, they are adults. They've not even researched the trading patterns on this share before trading. They are responsible for their actions and they have the consequences. As Davie Balfour said in Kidnaped, "I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I believe they both get paid in the end; but the fools first." If someone sold mid-morning instead of waiting until late afternoon, they got paid. If they wanted to sell today, they should have done it absolutely first thing and not sold into the drop, or waited until late in the day.

More importantly, they've already done it. Not much point in addressing them after the fact. Even more to the point, those who lost out probably won't even see what we are writing here.

Maybe it's just your writing style but you seem to get bothered by other people making bad decisions. Problem is, the world is full of bad decisions and I'd hate to see you get stressed. Life is too short.

Anyway, good luck to you. Will always appreciate you, Bamps, and Nige talking about GGP. I lost a lot of money by not listening to you sooner but I've made a lot because I finally did listen. ATB.

LOL, it took an epic amount of dressing up, but you got there, Jerry, it was polite.

@TomE
You're right, of course, that if someone sells some shares it temporarily drops the price for everyone. But I have a question for you. If you aren't selling, why do you care? I don't care in the least. I'm not selling today.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see the price go higher because I think it helps defend against a hostile takeover. But a drop this morning because someone sold some shares, a drop which is already cancelled by a rise this afternoon? Why should we care?

The only price I really care about is the price on the day I sell, and that's not today. I just don't understand why the price this morning matters to you, but would be glad to know, if you wanted to explain it.

Yes, I'm filtering at least one person who never does anything but argue with messy, and who I've suspected might also be him.

At least 3/4 of this board is messy, barcing mad, and people arguing with them. Total waste. It's not about IAG, it's about messy and barcy.

"Could it be NC broker on their behalf?" If anyone reaches 3% it has to be disclosed.

Maybe NCM, Barrick, Rio, and Newmont are all poised at 2.9% and considering taking the next step, LOL.

"Please please everyone no more talk about options selling Bye the management"

Share transactions by management (including options) have to be reported via RNS.
