Motley Fool recommends TUI.......But the logic is sound

These directors buys are a significant statement on their confidence in the company, and must impact on the share price eventually. And when iit does, the share price should fly.
I only hope it doesn't increase significantly until after 26th February , as I am buying more with the dividend.
One wonders on the merits of share buybacks

...the way the market is behaving at the moment, I suspect down.
If Brexit is ever sorted out, then this share will increase significantly imho.
Daft question
What are they up to? They bought 1.2% extra shares mid January, then sell most now?
So it could add c£30 million to the cost of purchase price.
Like others, I hast lost a lot more than £1,400, but where would compensation come from? The company or a central pot like the FCA?
One assumes Flybe doesn't have the money, otherwise they wouldn't be selling the family silver.
All makes sense, but I wonder if, with the distraction of Brexit, the government will actually get involved.
Your comment about rappers/derampers is very valid with this board. No one seems to offer any facts, just "I think there is going to be a counter bid" or "the company is going into administration".
Good luck all
On what grounds are you expecting a counter bid?
By accepting the Virgin offer and the continued sell off of the family silver, it seems the company is n a much worse financial state than is realised.
Wonder if Scully1234 has returned yet?
Surely Virgin are the only company who are officially looking at putting a bid in. But they have not yet officially bid.
The rest, e.g. Stobbart, IAG, and EasyJet are just rumours.
With the work the board has done to improve Flybe's position, I am happy if no one puts a bid in.
can we now see the roadmap to the end of the tunnel.
1. Invest in biotech as they have the future returns

2. JV on commercial side then spin it off.
Good morning...
Very peaceful here, how nice. Wonder what happened to Scully?
Isn't she a bit of an old bird to roast?
Must be Basil Brush
Boooom Booooom
It will be in interesting to see how "The Donald" reacts if the Fed raise interest rates.
Although supposedly independent of him, he seems to be asserting a lot of effort on the Fed not to raise interest rates. Could he demand the resignation of the Fed chairman HE appointed one wonders.
We are indeed in interesting times.
Thanks Tiger
Your logic is reassuring.
I am a long time holder (with an average these newbies would shudder at), so have no wish to see Flybe fail.
If the jewel in our crown are the Heathrow slots, where is the incentive to buy the company as a going concern? Vultures picking over the bones is the big fear.
Another reason to love the number 69
Interesting article on PLF, apologies if it has already been posted.
