Thank you Contrarian and OMalley. Your calm and considered words on here have silenced the shrill squawking of the Carolyn fanbase. Finally we have Balance on the forum. A day without Solley, Winnie and Pogo.

Long may this forum be open to all opinions and with luck the idiot fringe will not be able to drown out the voices of realism and real financial wisdom.

This remains a weak share. Only for the most reckless.

32m is small change for the DPRK.

As we speak Pogo is in Pyongyang advising Kim wrong Un on the political implications of a North Korean takeover of ITV. He is giving assurances that the UK state never intervenes in the private sector and ITV can be the new mouthpiece of the Ayatollahs and crazy rocket men.

The bid is coming. Some of you have been waiting for two decades but will be rewarded very soon. I swear the Polska Plonker is never wrong.

Well said Skier. The share price should be more like 120-150. The reason it is not there is due to the 8 years of weak management. Management who have just wanted to line their pockets whilst responding late to the move to streaming and the death of free to air tv.

If a bid does come through I suspect the buyers would wait for the share price to fall to 60p and then snap ITV up at a bargain 80p or under. Before the Dame moved to ITV, it would have taken a bid of 250 to buy out ITV.

Utter disaster for the employees, future of UK tv production and share holders. The current BoD have left ITV weak and vulnerable to a takeover that would see so much of what it does axed and the studios sold off or moved away.

The Dame needs to do the walk of shame.

Dreamers.

My insiders in North Korea are telling me that the Iran DPRK bid is nearing final stages. The two champions of global deomcracy and human rights are mounting a bid worth 5 billion to buyout ITV and broadcast the truth of the Islamic revolution and teachings of JUCHE to the world.

You will remember that they came close in 2023 only for Dame McCall to get cold feet at the last moment after Phil Schofield make outrageous demands to hand pick his new Iranian runners.

What happened? The Donkeys reliably informed us this would go up today. That a bid is coming down.

I am so disappointed by the Real Holders. Yet again they led each other up the garden path.

Utter S show in here whilst the nonsense keeps on flowing from the usual suspects

Banjay again? I thought this was put to rest two years ago when the Dame said the studios were not for sale. Next we will get repeats of Liberty and Apple.

I must have been watching ITV for over a decade now. Early days I believed it would get bought out.... Now I just realise that the media industry likes to create a lot of fuss over nothing. All self promotion and marketing.

If anyone was serious then they would have moved when the price was 50s and 60s. Now the global markets are more uncertain and we have Reeves NI increases which will eat into ITV profits.

It makes no sense whatsoever to expect a bid now. You diehard donkeys will keep on sucking up the spin and wanting to believe it.

Avoid this share. It stinks of desperate old men chancing their luck.

Catalina Ramirez looks like a natural fit for ITV studios USA. California based and no doubt the person she replaces was also from a US media background.

Please return to the mudslinging. I would hate for normal discourse and debate to ruin this place. Just shouty people with unrealistic expectations and our resident shorter baiting the donkeys.

Winnie will follow this up with her usual filtering post. She lives in hope that somehow she can silence all dissent by advertising her snowflake tendencies to the world.

"£1 before end of May"

Yet the last time ITV was above £1 was March 2022. It came close briefly at 96p 2 years ago but has remained so far below for 3 years now.

In March 2022 the Dame and her many cronies crashed the share price from 120 to 75p in a matter of hours. We were all told not to panic and that it would recover. No recovery for 3 years and the gormless fools are still running the show.

Nothing has changed in the last few weeks, last few years that suggests this will go to £1. ITVX was not the panacea we were all promised. A decent CEO and directors would have walked admitting failure but this lot keep their noses in the trough.

So there you have it folks. Despite the Slavic commentators claims to genius he is merely clutching at straws. None of his posts on this forum reflect reality or hard analysis of facts.

Pogo believes in fairies and is waiting for Peter Pan to show up and whisk him away to Never Never land.

I always post my trades within 30 minutes to 1 hour. I am good like that. Selling at 120 and buying at 55......

We? How would I know that. I am not a sensitive princess so I filter nobody. Even the worst anti semitic abuse. I read it all and call out the r@cial slurs directed at me by our Eastern Euro poster.

I love the fact that the donkey Pogo claims to have all the trolls on filter and yet he knows all the details of our posts and my share price predictions.

The poster who masqueraded as a Ukrainian and pretended to have a personal stake in the Ukraine war only it turns out he is some other branch of the slavic people. All his vitriol directed at Russia was just grandstanding.

Evidence that most of what Pogo posts up here is pure fantasy. The guy holds nothing like 400k in shares. He is not the economic and maths genius that he claims to be. He sells his shares and hopes that other people reading this will drive the price up so that he can keep on making the odd £50-£100 profit with his small savings from his night shifts.

Pogo does not read this so will be unaware that he gets called out as a liar.

Eeyore has arrived. LSE's no.1 misery guts and plodding donkey.

Jedward I was very positive prior to the results in April 2024. I was hoping the Dame would stand down from summer 2023 through to the AGM in May 2024. After she covered up for grooming and child abuse it seemed the right action for her to take. You will find posts from late 2023 and early 2024 where I saw a huge upswing to 120 if the cronies all got the boot.

Alas, inaction and incompetence have become the trademark for ITV top management. Nobody can oust her. Liz Truss went but we have all had to suffer 8 years of Dimwit McCall.

A high of 79.90. Looks like the smart investors are setting limit orders just below 80p to get out and then buyback at a good 5-10% in the next few weeks. They have already made enough to cover the stamp duty with todays retreat to 78.6

Got to love the day traders. Ignore the plodding donkeys

Indeed. Why hold now when 60p is only weeks away? No buybacks. No merger. Falling revenues. Weak management that cannot be removed after 8 years of delivering no growth.

I am here to provide balance on the forum rather than letting the excited school girls get carried away.

Quite something. This is bouncing back to pre Liberation fiasco levels. Somebody or some investors clearly like ITV despite 8 years of serious investors not touching it with a barge pole.

It is not said enough around here but good luck to all the shorters, day traders and speculators. The people who put in the effort to research the share. Who take the risk and do the hard work and take a more stressful approach.

You deserve the rewards that come with hard work rather than the plodding donkeys that collect dividends and just keep repeating the same message despite poor results, poor leadership and market disruption.

Audaces Fortuna Juvat

We have a small news story in a time where there is almost nothing to discuss with ITV. JP Morgan cuts ITV to 112 from 115.

ANALysts who back the Pogo school of thought...... Still better than the streams of Pogo conjecture about nothing where he magics out a prediction of 120 after 5 minutes of having to decypher his gibberish.

Good to see everyone back and full of energy after a 4 day break. I notice the two lunatics were chatting away on Friday bank holiday whilstt the markets were closed and the rest of us were with loved ones and families.

Sorry excuses Solley and Pogo need to get out more. Anyone new to the forum please ignore these two characters who opt to filter adverse comments and choose to invest blindly whilst pumping out only positive vides.

LSE is a forum where all voices are valid. Ignore the fools who choose to filter. Loooser clique will remain forever lost.

The BP forum is a good read. How a message board should be. People calmly discussing matters. There is media speculation as always but most seasoned investors shrug it off. There maybe changes at the AGM tomorrow and nobody on the forum expresses any kind of loyalty to the current board. People are more grounded in reality.

Complete opposite of here where you have the two camps and the diehard supporters of the Dame who will not tolerate any bad words against the policies that have crashed the share price.
