Not even bothered about online taxes or incentives for High Street. Consumer habits have changed for ever and online has been advanced 10 years by this pandemic. Long term BOO will be fine. Screaming BUY dead cheap SP at the moment. Same as where it was few months ago but now all BOO holders have a stake in Debs, DP, Burtons etc plus a much wider customer demographic. Once lockdown ends (and furlough ends) I don't think online shopping will end but High Street will never get back to where it once was. BOO is well prepared and well placed to pick up the slack and snap up the best bits of any more retail failures. Patience is needed along the way as Covid has hit sales everywhere. Rinse and Repeat. Easy Money.

Never mind the divvi. Nice rise of 21% in SP since Jan 27th. At this rate I might even make a profit here!

... the results are crap. That's my detailed analysis.

Ex div today but no SP drop. Very positive sign. Bought some more.

Amount of rise suggests the rumour has legs.

Hoping for 900 soon.

Some big buys today.

Never been to Butlins. What's it like DT?

Logistically (due to Covid) to avoid footie fans flying around different countries it makes sense to hold the Euros in one place. Also we are so far ahead of other countries in terms of vaccinations plus we have all the infrastructure, testing logistics and stadium capacities. I'm sure the penny will soon drop at UEFA and the UK will get the tournament which will give a decent boost to ITV's SP.

Yep, should hit 120p today.

Good stuff. Scottish results will be replicated throughout UK. This is great news for AZN and the Israel data is also very promising regarding transmission. Shame some Euro leaders have rejected AZN jab and spread false and dangerous rumours. Fully expect the "cheap" AZN jab to be the world leader in vaccinating the poorer countries. All good kudos for AZN.

Tucked away a few for long term play. Expect good recovery in 2022.

WoW ! ULVR really struggling. SP now lower than the lowest SPs of 2020 and 2019.

While RYA are busy losing money in court Nicola Sturgeon has said no summer holidays. I already predicted that months ago.
"Nicola Sturgeon has warned Scots not to book Easter holidays as it is "highly unlikely" that hotels or self catering accommodation will be open.
The first minister advised against booking a break either overseas or in Scotland at the start of April.
She also said it was unlikely that overseas holidays would be possible in the summer.
However, she said "staycations" might be possible - although it would depend on the Covid data nearer the time."

I'm angry. As someone who bought in here 6 years ago (and added along the way in good faith) this latest update is a disgrace and the "new" divvi is just adding insult to injury. Can't see how anyone can be optimistic.

Don't worry everybody. My shares have also disappeared from my Fidelity ISA account. I'm sure there's just a few things pending and all will be OK in a day or two. No need to panic as these are a log term hold anyway. When I get my pay out I will decide (if the price is right) whether to buy more TSCO or something else.

Personally, I think it's a load of rubbish but they got 10.6M viewers for Saturday's final which is massive these days. All good for the bottom line. Looks like an SP breakout is coming.

ITV SP well up on pre-Covid levels. Advertisers can't use cinema, public transport or high street. All good revenue for ITV. Basically we're all staying home watching TV and this will continue for a good few months. One of the few gainers from pandemic. Some big sports events this summer. SP about to break out now.

Though Ryanair continued to fly a number of its planned flights throughout the coronavirus pandemic, in recent months the Irish-carrier made the decision to slash capacity through until April.
Airline bosses have pointed to a drop in foot traffic as the main reason why they have cancelled flights.
In a press release, the airline stated there will be "few if any, flights being operated to or from Ireland or the UK from the UK from the end of January until such a time as these draconian travel restrictions are removed".
The cutbacks will also see the airline dropping its full-year traffic forecast from “below 35 million” to between 26 million and 30 million.

Earlier today, The Irish Travel Agents Association told the Oireachtas Transport Committee that it estimated consumers in Ireland are owed €20m euro in refunds - mainly from Ryanair - and blamed the airline for a "logjam" which has slowed the process of returning funds to customers.
ITAA CEO Pat Dawson said third party travel agents had dealt with Ryanair for the last 20 years, but that problems had only arisen with the start of the pandemic.
He said travel agents were engaging with Ryanair to try to clear the backlog, and were "working through verification and onerous paperwork" to be returned to the airline.
"It's not the travel agents or the consumer, it is slowed down by Ryanair," he said.

Good results today. Great H2. SP up 3%, divvi raised 8%
