No Im just smart and smirking. he he.

GF - Nice but simple Chris here, this may come as a shock but I really don't give a toss how old you are. You volunteered your age, or ages on a public bulletin board not me, just seeking clarification that's all. Not my fault you have no sense of humour. Sad, just about covers it that you have to justify your reasons for let's face it posting shite. 6' 2" eyes of blue and thick as a plank :O)

glad it's not just me who's thick then! :-)

I just wish some of these RNS were worded in terms that ordinary investors could understand.

Must admit that with the other RNS is a lot to take on for the street PI.

Like I said get in touch with her.

I only understand it having worked for 3 brokers. For the layman in stocks it is difficult especially for new inexperienced types.

Used to know a chap going back to 1998(OFEX BOARD) used to post here when first opened, Pete Hippy they called him ..... genious at working out these sort of things. Died 2 years ago in a bike accident in Bangcok.

Im very bullish not selling my stock.

Panmure Gordon has upgraded its rating for travel operator Thomas Cook by two notches from 'sell' to 'buy' and hiked its target price to 164p following last week's interim results and capital reorganisation.

Thomas Cook secures aircraft financing

Thomas Cook Group plc ("Thomas Cook") is pleased to announce further progress with its fleet renewal programme as part of its on-going commitment to building a single, strengthened airline segment aimed at improving the customer experience and reducing CO2 emissions and fuel burn as part of its focus on environmental sustainability.

GECAS has agreed to acquire six A321-200s directly from Airbus, further to a purchase agreement between Thomas Cook and Airbus dated 25 January 2011, and Thomas Cook will lease back those aircraft from GECAS at an average lease rate factor of 0.887 per cent. per month (subject to adjustment for prevailing interest rates at the time of delivery) for 144 months. This implements the letter of intent with GECAS described in the Prospectus issued on 16 May 2013 relating to the recapitalisation of Thomas Cook. The financing of these aircraft is in addition to the recently announced recapitalisation.

It is anticipated that four of the aircraft will be delivered to Thomas Cook in the first quarter of FY 2015, with the remaining two expected to be delivered in the second quarter of FY 2015. As part of the same proposed arrangements, Thomas Cook has agreed to lease an additional three A321-200 aircraft from GECAS for 144 months at market rates, the rental being subject to adjustment at delivery by reference to prevailing interest rates. It is anticipated that the first of these three aircraft will be delivered to Thomas Cook in the first quarter of FY 2015, the second aircraft will be delivered in the second quarter of FY 2015 and the third aircraft will be delivered in the third quarter of FY 2015.

4 trading days left for investors/traders to make their minds up about the RI.
