Teachings of the Juche? Kim Il Sung?
You are expecting? That is great news Pyongyang. Call it Tom please if it is a boy
I blame Pogo. Great buyback opportunities today are going to be missed all because the North Korean troll told us to hold.
I am guessing 69.5
Just to repeat, Pogo posted the exact same thing last year. Told people to hold. Terrible advice as the share price then tanked by 20%.
Be careful what you believe from the person who needs translation apps to post on a forum that they clearly struggle to read and comprehend. Pyongyang Pogo.
3.5 million bought after 16:30 in one trade.
Pogo has only been wrong since joining the forum. Buying in at 70p + more than a year ago and promising everyone this would go to 150 then. Pogo has spent 12 months sitting on a loss and nothing suggests that will change very soon
Looks like we are going back to the 60s Pogo. Some sub 70p buy backs tomorrow for the guys who sold earlier today and yesterday.
Is it not for days like tomorrow that the buyback fund is waiting? When more sells than buys come through they can hope to buy up the volumes of shares that are released? 250m will easily absorb tomorrows sells.
We are good with buybacks in place now for most of the year. I am hoping that limits how much it will fall and will keep us above 68 and more likely 70.
Despite what Pogo says this is not a safe investment and for that reason I think it can and is well due a bounce. We have a safety net in place with buybacks. Just needs the BoD to do something to bring this back to the pre ITVX value of 120.
I wanted 75-76 to sell. My gut feeling is Morgan Stanley buybacks will keep this above 71 tomorrow so I fear losing out if I sell only to buyback at a similar price. I think the 12 month high may be reached in May. Possibly something happens at AGM but if last 6 years are anything to go by then no new announcements and stagnation over summer and autumn.
Pogo started posting here last year. Anything but a long term holder.
Pogo was purchasing in May last year in the 70s telling us the share price would go to 80,120,150
That is 12 months lost for Pogo where he could have made more money elsewhere. Pogo is nothing like as smart as he pretends to be going on his posting history of the last year. He failed to see slump to 60p. He got badly burnet with his hold for long term gain strategy
Pogo my trading platform lists ITV as High Risk.
ITV had lost 25% of capital only 6 weeks ago. Worse than Wizz
You know that and yet still you put out a false message that ITV is long term. It is a casino share. Place your bets
Can Pogo write a post without being condescending?
Actually with Pogos estimate if we rise above 74.5 in the next day then it makes sense to sell and buy back at 70.6.
Thursday could be for some good conversation on here. All the people doing buybacks debating what is the best re-entry point.
You do not have an agenda with that statement? I cannot read which way this will turn. If 76 is going to be a 12 month high or where this will go on Thursday and Friday. Fo that reason it would make sense to back both horses in this race. Mitigate the risk. 50/50 on both
Pogo I get what you are saying. Many of us have been here longer than you. We have lived through other ex divi dates and we hold on the idea that we lose more by trying to gain from that drop only to watch the price fall off by 5-6% and then fail to recover over the summer.
Look at last year . 83.68 before the cut off. Down to 80.7 the next day. It has not returned to that price in 12 months. The same could be repeated this year only we are starting 10p lower. Nothing has drastically changed at ITV other than the buybacks. Your continual promise that this will recover is based on no hard facts. The risk that this drops back into the 60s this year is hopefully offset by the 250m in buybacks
You only lose if the share price rapidly rises after ex divi and you are caught out. This is kind of what Pogo is cautioning against. Worst case scenario is that come end of May you get half the dividend and you are then out of ITV as the SP has risen. In which case you buy elsewhere and move on.
Worst case scenario is that on Thursday with 100% left it drops 5% and more and keeps on falling. Then you will hate yourself for not cashing in. 76p the other day was screaming "sell".
Pogo's predictions are possibly the best I have seen posted here. Good that someone shares their thoughts on how this will go. I think we are all tempted to try to sell at 75-76 to buy back at 71. Yes long term, maybe even as soon as the AGM this will go back over 80 so any sells are fraught with risk. Thursday promises to be an exciting day. I might sell 50% before in the hope I can buy back at reduced prices and then with greater volume my gains will be larger as this moves above 80p.
I am positive about ITV. Was talking to an accountant friend last night and talking up the merits of the company and the studios side of the business. If they sold ITV studios US tomorrow and promised to reinvest in new up and coming studios the SP could shoot up above £1.
