Jed is wiining. He goes to the AGM and asks questions in person. He is a valued shareholder. The BoD recognise him by face and love him,

Jed how about directing your criticism at Pogo's trade. Buying at 82p to get the interim and now Full year dividend.

5p dividend for a 15p loss of share value. Genius.

Scrap that. Losses are off. Starting to look like the panic was a Trump induced tree shake. His pals are cashing in yet again

The Board's self appointed King of the loooser clique was hoovering up shares in the 80s in the summer and telling others to buy. How ITV would be 120 by the end of the year and to ignore wiser people like myself and OMalley

Jed I have been urging people not to buy for the last 12 months. A certain Slavic poster wrote in July:

"As for me it's shopping time.

I hope that using a credit card again will be a same good idea like before.

I added 7k ITV shares to my pocket at about 83 pence with a tax and now will be time for relaxation."

12:30 on Friday we saw the 3 million in buybacks lift the SP back above 70p. Will be interesting to watch today to see if there is a repeat or if the buybacks are all spent. Could be an opportunity for day trading with a 2.8p gain potentially.

Somebody else please check my maths. I ran the total number of shares purchased x average price. I got just over 235million. Googled buybacks ITV March 2024 and read that 235 million was the sum allocated.

I heard Trump is being urged to delay by 90 days and give countries time to negotiate new trade arrangements in advance to the tariffs but he is so far refusing to budge. Amazing that nobody thought it would go this far. We all thought tariffs would be minor hinderance and everything would be smoothed over and it would be business as usual.

Difference between UK and US is that in the UK we have mechanisms to boot out Liz Truss type imbeciles. USA there is nothing to remove him for incompetence. Has to be impeached and mismanagement of the economy is his democratic right.

On the hope that the phony Dame gets sacked and the SP goes back to £1 with a competent CEO

50p 50p 50p!!!!!! Buying cheap in a couple of weeks

Jed the price was at 62p in November with buybacks. It was clear it would go to 50s when buybacks ceased. Panto Dame and her 7 cronies cooked up the fake merger story (repeat of buyout of 2023). Only the dumbest commentators failed to see through the lies. McCall is a proven liar and yes is in danger of being found out and sacked.

Top up? The share price was only so high because of artifical stimulus. Fake merger story. Buybacks. Without those it is back to 50s where it belongs.

Ignore the loooser clique who have lost their life savings in the last week.

Jed I am dynamic. I move and change jobs. I change my women. I adapt to the situation and never get complacent. You clearly move at a slower speed.

Radio 4 are saying "Black Monday" Really bad figures. 5.8% falls for FTSE. Rolls Royce 10%

Carnage. This could be at 62p by the end of the day.

Pogo is sat on 6 figure losses despite being the self proclaimed economic genius of the board.

Sorry Asian markets are much lower than 2-4%. 2-4% is European futures. Huge sell off coming here today.

Jed I have been telling you for months that the end of the buybacks would see the SP slump. Add to that the fake UAE merger rumours losing their effect and this is back to 50s.

We are not allowed to urge people to sell but I have given enough indication to people to get out at the highs of the 80s. The idiot contingent tried to drown me out.

Asian markets are 2-4% down. Futures are indicating FTSE will fall 2%. Without buybacks in place at ITV I expect the falls to be larger with ITV. This could well open below 70p and continue to fall throughout the day with no support in place.

With the price of oil plummeting last week. With globalisation being pronounced dead and global markets all fearing the worst the Redbird/ Abu Dhabi investment fund is not going to get embroiled in any further business deals that could water down their potential earnings. They are going to be shelving investments that were in the pipeline and using the funds to shore up their own budgets and protect their own economies from global shocks to the oil market and stocks.

Of course McCall and Cronies will be disappointed and they might try to string out the rumours for as long as possible but this potential merger had added 8-10p to the share price since November.

Buybacks gone, Merger gone, ex divi date. Further global stock falls. Exit strategies required?

Please correct me if I am wrong but I just ran the total shares purchased by average price paid and it comes out as 235 million. That I believe was the sum allocated for buybacks in March 2024.

So that is it? Everything is spent? The shorters can now move in and despite Pogo's assurances that the Dame would finance more spending on buybacks, we have seen nothing.

This share really is at the mercy of shorters this week. Sub 50 in a month?

I may have been a bit hasty. With ITV throwing millions in buybacks just to keep the share price above 70p there is a good chance it only drops by a few pence, but okay 63p.

The ever popular prediction gam returns. Please let me know your thoughts on where the share price will go this week.

I am going to go with a drop to 63p by end of trading on Friday. Ex divi cut off will see 3p wiped overnight

Of course I am an amateur with no background in finance. I lack the qualifications and certificates that Pogo possesses in abundance. So this is only for fun and in no way a recommendation.

You are deluding yourself if you quote the paper loss argument.

Your unrealised loss is very real and to pretend otherwise is because you are not cut out to be an investor. Own your losses. Admit them and change your behaviour to work with those losses otherwise you will continue with this false confidence and continue to take losses on the idea that everything will just bounce back to 80p.

It might never happen. 55p might be the new norm for ITV. The revenues are falling. The budgets are shrinking. The core audience for ITV are all passing away in the next 10-20 years. The directors are all sat on very real profits after they sold at almost a 12 month high. No paper losses or paper gains there. Real profits cashed and in their bank accounts.
