Surely announcing this a week before results is a sign of bad news coming on March 7th? It feels like they are trying to pump the share price prior to incoming poor news - sell britbox, announce buy backs. You surely would not do this a week before results if the results are going to be good?

Anyone have a finger in the air price projections for this now? Any of you fib people here?

David Cameron was supposedly one of the whizz kids at ITV when most of the regions were bought up / consolidated into one company basically owned by London Weekend. I just wonder whether his return to government will more likely see the company sold off? I wonder if he still has a sizeable share holding or not.

Their leader, I meant.

The Hezz-bol-lah (Just in case that word is banned) is making a big speech tomorrow after Friday prayers. He is under pressure to declare war on Israel... and perhaps the West. If that happens then markets could take a dive. However, if he does not do this - instead, just makes lots of threats - then it will mean that both he and his master, Iran, have blinked. Which means we could be at the start of a nice November rally in US and UK stocks.

Lots of 'ifs' there.

Apple reports tonight. Qualcom give a good forecast yesterday and Apple usually does good if Qualcom does good. ROKU came in with excellent results last night.

You 2 are not allowed to push up the price today to try and win your competition ;-)

Have not the feintest clue why this is rising so strongly today? I can only assume some shorts are closing - any whispers of a take-over in the offering?

@Carrington - I think you are right. Look at how in the US they have just revised past months' job numbers. It is the US election run-up - probably has been since the start of the year and a big reason why the US markets have soared - hence why TPTB in the US will do anything and everything to create the image of a booming economy to get Biden or ANOther Democrat back in the White House. Its a cabal running things over there so I would not be surprised if all future US economic data is rosey and, by this time next year, they will be telling us that the US has never had it so good... just in time for those postal votes.

What is the reason for the big jump today folks? TIA.

Android app downloads.

Shein 100 million plus downloads on the Google Android store, Temu 50 million. Boohoo 1 million. Asos 10 million plus.

Anyone know the Apple store numbers?

Apologies if this has already been asked, what caused the Friday drop? Was it just ASOS or were other online retailers also hit? Or something else?

It looks as if it is trying to find a bottom. I know it is early to say this but they took some effort to get under £6. No further cascade though.

B*gger. I jinxed that.

I thought they would have pushed it under £6 by now. It bounced off just above £6. Let's see whether this holds.

Thanks Clank.
MM's could push it down during April then as they scare private investors into selling up. Feels to me that this RI will make Tui more owned by the institutions with less PI ownership.

When does the RI end? I thought this would be a one day thing. Shares close at X one day and next day everyone has shares at the new market price?

Unemployment is a lagging indicator. By the time that the big redundancies are happening the economy will have bottomed... if this turns out to be a recession. If it turns into something worse then all bets are off.

Anyone have any idea? Is it RR specific or more to do with gas pipes exploding and Europe imploding?

Europe is a mess this morning. Many still trying to digest the rammifications of the gas pipelines exploding and what it means for future energy sources and costs in Europe. Is Europe about to go into a depression - not a recession but a depression.

Knickers and how big does my bum look in Kim Kardashian's dress might not be the priority of Truss, Ursula Von Der Crazy and the other female European leaders. Then again...

Thanks trading4good - I had not seen the Norges investment RNS.

That's a good sign. Presumably the banks know things that we don't know.

LongerGuy - why do you say bottled it? BOE should have gone for higher? 1%?
