But it does reinforce the ethos that if you want to make money in Shares, chose your horse and maintain the course. The mistake of many investors is not having the ability to hold a share for more than a nano second and believing that they are Gordon Gekko.

@Liviiari: You are absolute correct, if you look at gains over a year, 80% of the rises will be attributed from only 10-15 days trading, which is why investors know that you have to be in it to win it. It is a nice warm safe feeling holding dry powder but it can be unprofitable.

Yes good day today, pleased with that. The UK and the USA on the cusp of normality but it does look like we will be flying to New York before Rome. A good week ahead for all travel and transport stocks and before we know it, into April with new ISA and SIPP allowances to fill.

Topped up here again today. The USA is storming ahead and things are going to normalise over there in months and with half of our turnover from the USA this share should see 400p by the summer, factor in the UK and the mix is looking attractive. Here’s hoping for a good result next Thursday.

From memory about 672p.

Thinks are looking positive over the water, yes the Nasdaq will take a spanking but the S&P futures have moved from -1.7% to nearly 0 which is encouraging. I cannot see a repeat on Friday and maybe an uplift?

Futures looking encouraging and over the weekend a positive sentiment for the airlines. Further to that can you believe that News at Ten didn’t mention Covid once! I might even have a lie in tomorrow. GLA.

Hi Highwayman. I can see IAG hitting 250p by Easter, the positive news will come quick and I spend most of my time analysing Covid data rather than individual stock fundamentals and technicals. IAG and Nex like all transport / leisure stocks are only held back by one thing- Covid. I like Nex because it is apparent that the USA will bounce out at the same time as the UK, both markets having a positive resonance for both shares. IAG is certainly riskier than Nex but It is my intention to have long term holds for both these shares right through to dividends. It will be a rocky road the next few weeks and we saw big drops late Friday afternoon, yes due to The Nasdaq but there was a bit of tree-shaking and panicking PI’s, which is not unusual after a nice profit run. There is nice upturn in both of these shares and even with the NEX placement factored in the share hit nearly 480 p last January. Hoping Thursday’s results are positive then it all begins on May the 7th with IAG for their first quarter results, which is only two months away.

I am hoping to see a 7 day average death rate fall below 200 this week, the average death rate in the UK from 2017-2019 was 1692 per day. The proverbial ‘Using a Sledgehammer to crack a nut’ will be apparent to all.

I only have 6 shares in my portfolio and I can’t think of a better place to keep my cash at this moment in time, my view is if you don’t need the cash keep it in stocks. There is too much upturn at the moment. IMO:GLA.

On the 20th January there were 1820 deaths and today there were 154. Terrible for all the families and loved ones but it does show the Covid retreat, a senior scientist today stating that variants are extremely unlikely to derail us. We are coming out of Covid, this is not ramping this is reality. Booked my BA flight to Malta for the first week in June, business of course and receive my second vaccine 21st of May. I will book Italy in September and long haul new year, the whole world wants to travel don’t be disheartened by the passive derampers. It hit 220p last week and Instill believe it will see 250p before Easter.

I wish I top sliced some of my IAG stock into this on Friday and topped up, I have held since June. it is certainly looking oversold and with the euphoria in the USA late trading Friday this is certainly ready for a quick uptick early next week as LTH’s appreciate the stock resonates more with the USA than the UK.

@Alex: It was more of a 5% drop but enough to spook the markets, further to that Tesla was in a 10% free fall just before the close and the markets are spooked about potential interest rates. There is no doubt about it those tech stocks are over valued and unfortunately the FTSE will get caught in the head-wind. This share is only going one way and I am expecting the share to get back in 220p territory next week. IMO

Did it break 205p?

Just a bit of. Shake for MM’s to build their stocks up no doubt.

Good to see the share finding plenty of support at 210p, at one time When it hit about 3.80% I thought it was going to go. There will be more volatility when the USA opens let’s just hope the jobs report is favourable.

210p breached, a few limit orders being triggered, they will try and walk this down to 199p to trigger even more.

@BB: Those trades have already been factored in, they have just been posted after hours. Further to that, most of the time the sells and the buys are the wrong way round. IAG is a heavily traded share and as the spread is so thin the software struggles to identify the point below or above the mid-point spread and more often than not calculates a sell as a buy and vice versus. Trust me that data is useless and does not contribute anything to the opening price.

A month ago today, (3rd Feb) the SP was 148.80p, that is a 45% increase on today’s close. Recently, When the share has had a red it hasn’t dipped by much, which is always a good sign. Further to that we have had good rises against the grain of the FTSE, as long as the positive news keeps pouring out on Covid, Particularly in the USA and decreasing Covid cases in the UK we will March on. As stated I believe it will break 220p by this week and 250p by Easter IMO. There will be retraces of course and anyone who has made money from this share in the last week day trading have one quality. They are Lucky.

Don’t take any notice of them after hours buys and sells, they have already been traded during the day and the SP has been calculated. They are only posted after hours. I don’t even look at them. We will come out of this as quick as we went in, I agree with AP the new range looks like 230-250p and if there is one mention on the Atlantic corridors it will be up to 300p in no time. GLA

Full steam ahead Captain, 220p is on the horizon and everything is going to plan, we should arrive at our destination by the end of the week as planned.

@Linkop: I can’t see this dropping to 191p, I expected maybe a 2% drop early on but the SP is holding up well offering support at 200p which is a good result considering the run of blue days and a 7% rise yesterday, quite frankly there is too much good news out there to be bearish.

Hey Castle, another stock we have in common, I hope you are making a few quid.
