Fortune favours the brave Fred - sometimes!

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

Ahhhhhhh men.

Second verse now doodles he he.........

TCG Thomas Cook


Shorters falling and falling away.

just use your cursor on the chart.

Notice the inverse relationship between the
SP rising and the stock on loan (shorts) falling.

Shorts at their lowest level now for months.

TCG Thomas Cook.

Well well well, even WINNIE (Tom Winnifrith) thinks this
is a good recovery stock. Just posted on
twitter......

"et before I apply for a Nobel Prize for economics, both Thomas Cook and Minoan (holiday operators) have reported a strong increase in summer holiday bookings. Both are, incidentally, probably very good recovery share purchases."

Hmmm - kiss of death!

Oh God, that's all we need, Winnifrith starting to talk this up.

LOL......hel put Lucian Myers and Zak Mir onto them dont worry.

StockMarketWire.com
Exane BNP Paribas cuts Thomas Cook to underperform from neutral, target 70p from 25p

Starting to play ball now TCG. Looks strong.

post 488 - that's strange, because reuters lists lots and lots of upgrades, but no mention of BNP at all .... anyway, aren't that lot close to bankruptcy (rip seymour pierce by the way)?

I take it all back Tom Winnifrith.:-)

Cyners its correct, but from my past days in brokers they were known as a bucket shop.

Come on TCG higher, higher.

Good find from a poster on another site - thank you kMann.
