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

120p on high side i think you mean then from what you say.

yes, its funny watching main news on tv going on about heathrow most nights.....potential wars going on in world....plus afghanistan, iraq, zimbabwe....belarus has dictatorship.....plus other dictators in world....plus all the violence in uk plus other ecomomic woes....and what do we get......yes, some nonsense about a silly wee terminal.
typical london again who seem to think uk is london. i wouldnt mind so much but where have all me london mates gone to.....australia, spain etc i would imagine like another 5 million brits

Get out while you can scotinvestor and leave old Uk and its dirty street s sell all airline stocks and buy oil stocks.

mitzy,it depends at what price you got in at,i admit the graph looks horrific,
if one can hold we all knbow where the sp will be LONGTERM.

Hi capetown.

the chart is very nasty could be more falls in 2008 best left.

The performance of British Airways reminds me of the demise of British Leyland...... death by a thousand cuts.

Didn't I told you guys to sell BA at 495p last year...see post 20.

I have no interest in these since I have never been a fan of BA especially when Lord King presided many moons ago. Nevertheless, a good call hlyeo98. I expect Richard Branson is having a quiet chuckle.

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/

long in ISA at 217.75p

closed on Friday at 248p.

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
