The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
The people being "realistic" now were the people being optimistic a month ago, letting their emotions affect how they trade. I'm not saying it will go one way of the other, I'm just saying don't make decisions based on emotions or off disingenuous posts on here.
Agreed most people on here shouldn’t be giving advice. Anyone talking about making quick money on an RI clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.
You only have to look at their posts on other bbs to see how little they actually know about anything. Don’t make your trades based on what people are saying on here.
Certain people were saying IAG were a cert for a profit a month ago, then since crystallising their losses have changed their tune over night.
Make your own mind up, do not listen to anyone on here.
I'm talking post pandemic though, unless you think this is going to go on forever? I'm not saying it's not a risk but if it wasn't they wouldn't be as low as they are.
I'm pretty confident by this time next year covid will either be dealt with or being managed better due to testing etc that this will increase.
I can see why you think it won't and that's why I'm not only invested in airlines. I'm confident once covid is done they'll recover though and I think IAG are in a good position now to hold on until then. I'm not an expert by any means though so I could be completely wrong, I like a gamble though.
It's a risk either way isn't it? I think as soon as we are past covid air travel will eventually get back to similar levels to pre covid, even business travel. If Covid goes on forever everything is ****ed anyway, so it's all dependent on how quick this goes away.
I appreciate why people think it's a gamble and I don't have too much money invested myself. But I see it as a decent long term investment. Happy to agree to disagree on that though.
I think you're missing the point of what I was saying tbh. The whole thing boils down to if you think this is a good long term investment or not, not panicking with every bit of bad news like it's the end of the world.
So everyone should just sell at a loss then in your opinion and you don't think it will ever recover?
People are really over reacting because we've had the rights issue and the worst news week in a while at the same time.
If you revised the whole chart to post dilution levels we've already been to "60p" this year and we could easily drop there again if we keep getting bad news. But a little bit of good news and it'll go the other way.
Unless you think IAG are going bust sell otherwise don't sell at a loss.
I don't disagree with anything you've said, I think you've talked a lot of sense even if a lot of it was obvious. I just don't know how much of it needed to be said especially in that way. Especially when all you're invested in here is being right while someone who is invested is wrong.
How can anyone say there is no bad news there is talk of a two week national lockdown and rising numbers.
I don't think I've ever thought What a Mess was wrong in what he's saying but I've never understood why he takes such joy in it and why he has to come across as so agressive. It would be much more interesting if he could just be normal. I don't even think it's controversial what he says, obviously companies like IAG will struggle during a pandemic, but it won't last forever.
I wouldn't change any investments based on info on these boards either. There have been two many posts recently of people struggling to workout how 3 shares for every 2 you own works.
I'm not as heavily invested in IAG as some on here (Because I can't afford to be) but as long as you think they'll survive be patient and you'll be ok in my opinion. It's not just airlines that won't be able to cope if this goes on for too long so I wouldn't be too pessimisstic.
