Going up or down ?
As the original thread was cancelled today (and with the large swings in the share price) i thought we needed another one

in pennies, the rise is very small
in any case, be very wary of buying on news of a potential bid, as often they fall apart before completion

Cynic
Do you ever invest, if you had got in first thing when I posted you could be out now a couple of hours later 30% up!!!! No risk.

Now go and get some EUA before it’s to late.

i do indeed invest, both for my sipp (about 45 stocks) and a small number for trading

Finished up over 71% no less.

SP Flying again today.

Bitter rivals Sir Richard Branson and Willie Walsh are to lock horns in a bid battle for ailing regional carrier Flybe as experts warn failure of the country's biggest regional airline could be catastrophic for a string of smaller airports.

Looks like Keith Everitt has bought 4 1/2% of the share capital unless I’m mistaken https://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=6224506

Happy day!!!

Yes certainly good for trading at the moment.

looks more to me that this mooted bid is not going ahead

Nobody really can say for certain at the moment Alf one way or the other.

agreed, but would you risk money and buy today - monday if you insist?
i wouldn't

No I wouldn’t but there again I’m reluctant to buy anything just now with the market as it is.

masterly inactivity is what i think warren buffett calls it

papers are full of doom and gloom forecasting a heavy recession in usa within 12 months
