Recent problems with the new T5 Terminal at Heathrow have resulted in more problems for BA when will they recover their No1 position.

as a slightly risky longer term investment, BA is probably worth a flutter.
i have certainly got it on my own watch list with a view to (probably) buying in the near future

should have bought 2/3 days ago when i started monitoring and sp was only 130/132!

I traded this a couple of times during the winter between 120 and 140ish and then backed out when i read they were in more trouble than i thought they were,,maybe all the bad news is now factored in ..With all the recovery stocks to play i wouldn't think this one is going to fly (excuse the pun) ,having said that now it probably will.

i have bet against jimmy!

Shorted ???

no ... i bet against you, so am long

You havn't as i wouldnt short ,i just would be surprised to see this at 200p any time soon ,maybe it will trade in a range as it did in the winter, i think Easyjet would be a safer punt..

i don't need 200p to make a decent turn

Quite a rise since hyleo postod we would not last long.

just about every share hyleo shorts goes up .....lol.....he must be a liar though as any other person would be bankrupt now esp if they short.

funny that you we dont see the prat on this anymore as shares are going up!

200p on its way,and thats with turbulence!

170 would seem the obvious resistance ..... not what DMAs above chart shows, but mine show 25, 50 and 200

Well done it did it again ,i didn't fancy a punt this time what with the possible strikes etc ,can't really see what's pushed the price up ,,plus it's gone up faster this time..??

The fact that the sp was at an almost all time low,oversold,pilots have reached an agreement,fuel bill will be between 450 and 500 mil less than previous year,more liquidity raised without share dilution,and merger with IB still very much on the cards,load factors stabilising.Lets not forget BA would have made a profit were it not for those heafty fines they have had to pay,also open skies for sale another thorn in its side created by themselves.
if it gets through 170 as cynic suggests i can see 200p in the next week.

that wont please hyleo with his short? ah well, another failure to add to his list......in fact has he ever had a success

marni,he almost scared me into selling,then i checked out other posts and decided to stay put,having said that i was lucky and got in 911 and added ever since,i will be halving my stake @200p as dont want greed to to get in the way of awsome profits this time around.

dont let that idiot hyleo scare you or any other investor.

apologies to any idiots that may be offended by that comparison. lol

hyleo just wants western society to collapse.....he wanted ba to go bust just like other majors he wanted bust.

BA Traffic Climbs In July; Shares Rise 9.5%

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- British Airways PLC (BAY.LN) Wednesday reported passenger traffic in July edged up 1% year-on-year as capacity declined, resulting in a rise in the proportion of available seats filled.

The load factor, or the proportion of available seats filled with paying passengers, last month climbed 3.1 percentage points to 84.6%, from 81.5% in the same month a year ago.

The news was welcomed by investors. At 1335 GMT, BA's shares soared 14 pence, or 9.5%, to 165 pence, making it the second-biggest gainer in the London benchmark FTSE 100 index, which traded up 0.2%.

Traffic, measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, in July rose to 10.84 billion RPKs from 10.73 billion RPKs. Premium traffic dropped 11% on the year, while non-premium traffic eked out a 3.5% gain, BA said.

Capacity, measure in available seat kilometers, or ASKs, shrank 2.7% year-on-year to 12.82 billion ASKs from 13.17 billion ASKs.

The U.K. flag carrier previously has said that volumes and seat factors had stabilized during the first quarter and were expected to improve in the peak summer months.

marni,i got the impression he just hated BA neither,hate or love should never come into buying or selling a stock.

capetown

hyleo also just posts predictions on price which is stupid also......as he doesnt post any reason why or on fundamentals. i've lost count on the the number of shares that he's so badly wrong on
