Anyone know why BAY is rising so strongly in spite of all the bad news regarding delayed flights, etc.?
All comments appreciated

Branson has never chuckled scince he sold 49% to singapore airlines to stave off banckrupcy,lets not forget BA has the second largest cash pile in the airline industry,and made 700PLUS profit last year,thats not bad!,i know the sp is in the loo at the moment,but in my opinion it will pick up,having said that i would not want to be buying these just now,one to hold and add on further weakness.

hlyeo,you did,and a great call you made,but i will syick with it for now.

BAY is now 197p. It doesn't look good with the oil price rising continuously.

It's at 197p because of oil and T5. When the two issues are sorted it will rise. Is this the bottom or not only time will tell but if you are prepared to buy and wait you will be rewarded.

Like BAA, BA needs to be broken up it is a relic of the days of nationalisation.

Its aat 245 because it does not need breaking up.anyway no one would want the shorthaul operation/

buy it back, if it dips.

Just short of a billion profit!
NOT bad,i am sure many major airlines would love to know how its done!
HOLD.

Oil price is $133 - BAY will drop

I am sure BA will drop much further,oil price out of control,
When this stock is oversold and hits an all time low i will TOP up BIGTIME,just like after 9/11 when they hit 97pence,
BA is sound ,and the envy of many european carriers with regard to its ability to poat profit,
A good LONGTERM investment.
If i was a day trader i would worry playing this,as a longterm investment BA will continue to FLY.

May be an arbitrage opportunity... buy BA and short a european carrier likely to go bust!

ALITALIA will go for SURE!!

The only carrier with a nice future looks like Emirates... crude at cost price courtesy Sheik Maktoum some competitive advantage! Though an ipo imminent I seem to remember

I thought they used cooking oil. LOL!!!!

I hope not, if it works on aero engines like it works on my old van, I wouldn't like to be flying Emirates!

falcothou,
at least we can still laugh!!

Emirates airlines is certainly much superior compared to BA. Services and facilities are remarkable and the planes are new.

And Emirates don't lose their passengers' luggages like pieces of rubbish!

broker puts 1.20 price on them

which broker put 120p on them?

steady and rising@ 260p
