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.

3.5 million down to 2.9 million and she has a contract that is not performance related.

Summoned to Parliament for knowingly ignorning a sexual predator. Forced to take a pay cut by the owners of ITV.

Dame Carolyn is very much on written warning. One more mess uo and she is fired.

Do none of you see any change coming down at the AGM? The majority investors have had to wait a year since Schofield debacle and they are clearly not happy that the CEO thought she could continue to help herself to 3.5million.

I am usually the one saying get out of here for the summer. I just keep on believing that somebody has to sweep the cronies at the top out.

Pogo is higher intellect than the average investor or is he?

I value Pogo's opinion. He has more depth than Winnie who just copies and pastes articles and fires off insults. Jed is still the God of all things ITV.

Graeme Souness is to be the saviour of ITV!

The CEO Dame McCall is doing a great job despite the share price this time last year being 82p. Despite wiping 7 billion from the company valuation since 2018. Despite being summoned before Parliament for allowing sexual predators to run amok.

Winnie really is living in an alternative universe where 70yr old ageing ex footballers are relevant to a tv audience. Schofield as a football pundit next?

I bought back in September at 70p. I am looking pretty here. Ex divi next week. Almost a 6p profit on 70p in about 8 months once the divi pays out. Not my best investment but it pays for the holidays and nights at the Ballet with Russian aristocracy.

Winnie has taken to spamming the forum?

Hate to break it to you Winnie but most young football fans will not be impressed by Souness. 30 years since he managed Liverpool. Even longer since he played. Next you will be telling us that Alan Hansen is coming out of retirement for ITV at the tournament.....

It gets more and more desperate for good news here.

Two host nations? DDR still exists and Winnie is stil living in 1989???? That would explain alot about her posts here.

Please anybody new take this as evidence that Winnie has no idea about anything she talks about.
