mentor; the first chart you posted today, now removed, was also good.

Had its up and down the same as the FTSE, now the market is recovering from the earlier marked down, so maybe TCG will go the same way.

On finishing over 140p the Candlestick pattern should give a bullish call

June 18: Barclays reiterates : Equal weight - TP: 122p

that is better 140p at close

that is much better

THOMAS COOK GROUP
142.60 +2.60p +1.86%

at 143.25p is now at best of the day and rising

It seems one broker was predicting a pull back to around 138p after the figures, well it went just below that twice.

positive points at the moment
Fuel still low....
the Euro started improving a bit
New aircraft are now also in service in Germany.
More capacity...
PE for 2016 is super low..
before too long SP should be 160p again

if a deal is done with the greeks, as is now starting to look odds-on, then this must also be good news for the travel companies

Another Thomas Cook story

but is it actually true or just someone trying to stir trouble and/or cash in on a perceived gravy train?

hardly difficult to prove a gas explosion is it!

The incident and claim occurred more than a year ago and is ongoing. It doesn't look like it is related to recent events. More like the insurance company trying to escape payment.

I had a guy working for me who had a stone thrown while he was on a train at a station in Borneo while on holiday. He lost a large amount of his sight in one eye, leaving him almost blind in that eye. He had Boots insurance. They wouldn't pay him anything as they said the damage was not enough measured on an eyesight scale that doctors use. He gave up trying to get any money. I said that I would take up the case. I wrote letters for him and found consultants. After two years and an appeal to the insurance ombudsman, he got £35,000 plus nearly 3 years interest. That was 15 years ago. Insurance companies almost always try to get out of paying up.

I think the travel companies would do better if Greece left the EU. Their currency would crash and there would be cheap holidays. It could be a boom time for holidays. Of course that wouldn't be the case if Greece just used the Euro unofficially instead of having their own currency.

the young chap i know who had his leg smashed (maliciously many would say) in sunday league took over 3 years to get compensation ...... even when the level was agreed, the insurers took nearly 6 months to actually shell out, making all sorts of excuses

143.85p +1.25p

Thomas Cook repays 400m euros bond

StockMarketWire.com

Thomas Cook Group has completed the redemption in full of its 400m euros, 6.75 per cent Guaranteed Notes due 2015 at their maturity date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed was 284.57m euros. This follows the purchase by the Company earlier this year of 115.4m euros aggregate principal amount of the Notes by way of a tender offer, the results of which were announced on 20 February 2015.

This redemption follows the refinancing of the Company's banking facilities announced on 20 May 2015, and is in line with the Company's objectives to reduce debt and improve its capital structure.

June 23: Panmure Gordon reiterates: Buy - TP held: 188p

There may be some negative fallout for TC. A woman on BBC just now was complaining that her tour company (Thomas Cook) had done nothing to get her out of the Tunisian resort and that they were getting no information from TC. They were told that they would be leaving right away. They went to the airport and discovered the TC plane had left in the middle of the night almost empty. She was ppretty angry and complaining a lot about TC.

Fingers crossed I went short @ 148.25
