Going up or down ?
As the original thread was cancelled today (and with the large swings in the share price) i thought we needed another one

jimmy,

I fixed the chart for you,

Ian

And Jimmy, can you update your profile? Are you currently in Naples, Florida or southern England and do you use Flybe to travel between them? ;o)

Thanks Ian

HARRY ,i am in Southern England ,i was living out there until a while back ,now i just go back and forth .Always fly Virgin to Miami .

i LOATHE miami airport
what a total hole of a place, yet it's meant to be a main tourist hub .... what sort of impression does it give?

Tempted to have a punt here, but latest trading update was pretty poor, even with the low price of crude. My gut feeling is probably a bit more downside to come. They also seem to be having problems at London City Airport, with increased competition, which presumably means they will have to trim fares and consequently, profits.

A punt long HARRY ?

Yes, but don't forget I buy stock, not s/b or CFD, so if it all goes wrong I just have to sit and wait, unless the company goes bust!

the old one is real top shelf stuff :-)

I have never followed FLYB before, but it does seem to be a bit of a dead loss.

it was GF who alerted me to this one
he was premature in his call for a short, but eventually it proved right

the spat between him and DB was just too ridiculous for a pair of supposed adults

I had a good trade long here a few months back ,however Goldfinger was right if he stayed short ,i just wonder where now ? they don't look to be in great shape .

i'm short at an avr of 84.5 and am happy to stay that way for the time being

Just reading in shares that Flybe will see no reduction in fuel cost until 2016 or 2017 at the earliest due to its hedging strategy. I wonder if any other airlines got it so wrong.
Most seem keen to pass the saving on to customers. Just seems strange Flybe have burnt a large hole in their pockets with fuel. ps is the mauve fish wishing the sp up or pulling it down. :-))

dc - From across the road db4 sends his regards and thanks you for post 23.

Cheers Chris and db4 :-))

FLYB also have the millstone of a bunch of unsold and perhaps almost unsaleable rustbuckets

I was reading the average age of the fleet is 9.9 yrs (Virgin's average fleet age is 9.7yrs)but there are some very old craft in the list of their fleet. There is two or three 20 yr old aircraft. Mind you not as old as the early 60's bac 1'11s s of the then British world flying out of Stansted in the 90's.

bulls of FLYB would do well to read today's ST wherein they'll find a lengthy article with nothing positive to say
