The PyongYang Pontificator is back with more indecipherable posts!
Pogo you lost money last year. It was the only the surprise buybacks that have kicked your poor choice of "incestments" back into profit. You continue to back a CEO and Board who have a terrible history with ITV.
You are a lost cause. A wide number of posters here are now talking about jumping ship and you are still clinging on for £1. It most likely will not happen this year meaning you are missing opprotunities elsewhere. Fear of missing out means you will continue to suffer losses here whilst you believe in a CEO that the City analaysts hate with a passion.
Another one who has sold out here. Everything gone now and in Shell and BP collecting dividends this week. Need this to go back below 70p before I will buy back in.
Dame is here for another 12 months so it will not go much above 80 and once buyback fund is almost depleted the shorts will just move back unless ITV can fund further buy backs. With no buybacks this could very easily go back to 56p again.
Pogo you are a one share trader who has lost money for the majority of the last 12 months. That is the definition of stupid. To imagine you are more intelligent than me is just a demonstration of how deluded you are.
Go for it. BP profits fell but they promised to make cost reductions to bring the profit level back up. Ex divi date this week and again in August. Collect 2.25% before the next ITV dividend date in October.
100 billion valuation. Top business leadership (McCall would get nowhere near Board level). Possible M&A activity and possibility of Oil spike on top of energy doing well even in recession.
Pogo fails to learn from mistakes. This time last year he was talking up ITV. Put all his money into the one share (schoolboy error). Bought at 70p+. The share price then plummeted to 56p and poor Pogo was left looking rather stupid.
The share buyback has lifted the price and Pogo has quickly forgotten his disastrous mistake from last year and is set to repeat the same mistake all over again.
Best not to take incestment advice from Pogo.
Intelligence is stating the obvious over and over again on a public forum whilst revealing to the whole world a family tradition of incest.
I would hazard a guess that the Pogo family has seen that activity going on for generations and are loathed to change their ways now. It is how they breed out their superior intelligence.
Pogo and Winnie miss me so much that they continually reference me in their posts. Pogo are you earning money? 6 months now until you see another ex divi day. In that time your investment will rise and fall but you never cash in.
I have moved to Shell and BP who both have ex divi date in the next week. Poissble merger between the two. Possible UAE buyout of BP over the summer.
I always take a vacation from ITV during the quiet summer period. FTSE is right up at the moment but who knows by October, UK could be with a labour government, back in recession and ITV back to the 60s with buyback fund mostly spent.
I will take two dividends from the big oil majors and then move back here in time for interim ex divi date. Looking to buy back at sub 66 where £2 will buy 3 shares.
Bit of a gamble but at least holding oil stocks I cut out some of the risk that comes with holding ITV.
Jed this is up by 5.5p in the last week. No real difference in the business. I fully expect that 5.5p gain to vanish by June. We will be back to the 60s here again for most of the summer. £1 is coming with a change in CEO and Board but right now that looks a long way off.
I have been very clear about what kind of business ITV has to become. To move away from the UK free to air model and focus more on studios and making content for global auidences. The Mr Bates drama proves the point. No money to be made from UK audiences with advertising.
I want a more ambitious CEO and Board who snap up small studios. Produce great drama and other formats. Air them on ITV and get an idea as to the popularity and then flip them and sell them to the highest bidders once they have a number of high rated tv shows.
Paywalls and more live events where people pay to view one off events. Bromley vs Solihull Moors at Wembley last Sunday would have made for great tv. Extra time, penalties and drama. As a season ticket holder from Bromley I only back winners!!!!
Pogo's head is in the clouds. No realitistic analysis from him.
75-76 is a great point to get out. Take money elsewhere and do not return until this hits 65p.
9 months of nothing here now. The SP has fallen for the last two years from May onwards. No growth until late autumn and winter. Take your money elsewhere and invest. BP at £5 looks good. Dividend next week and chance of a buyout from UAE still on the cards.
Jed is saying he is selling!!!! He is a staunch supporter of ITV and very rarely bearish.
I am another one looking for buying opportunities in the 60s for ITV once again.
Ignore Pyongyang Pogo. He only trades one stock and loses money with it.
Jed is the doyen of all things ITV. I trust his judgement. Have sold and will buy back at sub 65p and then hold for the £1+ once Carolyn and her many cronies depart.
It is a great morning for taking profit elsewhere. Sat on piles of cash now and waiting for FTSE to turn again. ITV is as ever the one share that under performs due to its overpaid but useless management.
This share is low returns. Tesco just went above £3 so I sold my 2.80 shares. MKS just went above 262 so sold shares I bought last week there. Shell is up above £29 so poised to sell there. ITV is netting me minimal returns other than the dividend in 2 weeks.
Maybe time to start thinking what happens when the 250 million buyback fund is spent? Will this go back to 56p? Will the BoD do too little again to support the price?
You make Calculations based on your forecasts yet you acknowledge that it is clear stupidity to take them seriously because too much depends on external market forces which you cannot predict?
So you know you are stupid and of low intelligence and yet still you make forecasts which so far have been 100% wrong.
Please nobody take this spam bot seriously. He spells out in his own posts why he is intellectually challenged. This is an investor who believes in holding only one stock and investing all time and effort into that.
Nobody has the same opinion as Pyongyang Pogo. He predicted share price would be 75p after ex divi. 80p a week later. Still not happened.
Do not believe a word that the DPRK bot spews on this board.
Kevin Lygo is a Russian troll? Do not believe a word the man says. Pogo knows better than Kevin. ITV is not hemorraging money on productions it makes purely for UK audiences.
That extra 160 million that the Dame pledged in 2022 for ITVX productions was money well spent despite the fact that LYygo is saying returns on some productions are minimal or making a loss. The Dame could not have foreseen that the additional spend would not generate the necessary revenue.
Only the City saw ITVX increased spending and kickbacks for the studio bosses for what it was and sold ITV after the announcement. A futile gesture designed purely to line the pockets of studio bosses.
How much longer must we keep this bunch of cronies feeding shareholder money to their mates in the industry whilst failing to act on a advertising world that has vanished?
McCall out. Fresh leadership and direction. Paywalls and license fee money
If the top watched show cannot generate enough revenue to meet the cost of production then what about the flops like Big brother and I'm a celebrity where "celebrities" and presenters are paid millions.
Some idiot (Lygo) is commissioning these shows and paying ever increasing fees to celebrities and politicians when the advertising revenue has moved away.
Free to Air is dead. License fee money or pay walls are the future.
