ITV must now be a bargain. The current team clearly are an issue but you'd think the big American companies would recognise the bargain.

The yield is also high and can be reinvested. That really does limit the down side. You can even win here if it drops further!

Do you use stochastic on your charting , as well as MA's

Yes, 3rd lower indicator down. Chart looks good alders. I am not qualified to advise you what to do. I'm not trading it at the moment, but i might be tempted if MACD (2nd indicator points up above zero) and sp moves back up above 25DMA. Resistance at mo is 270pp support holding for now above 250p. Doji candle could go either way. Good luck.

Saw this comment in the Guardian on line today, (As you do when you need a laugh)

56 SNP MP's just how keen will they be to rush into another referendum? With the prospect of giving up £60k per annum plus expenses and limited room for them to return to Holyrood. Just asking LOL!!!

OOPS wrong thread.

Thursday 14 May

ITV (ITV) will publish a Q1 IMS on Thursday updating on trading and developments since the broadcaster's impressive prelims in March.

Westhouse's Roddy Davidson remains bullish on ITV's underlying fundamentals.

"We expect a combination of strong EPS and DPS progress across our three-year forecast horizon (37% and 83% aggregate growth respectively) and expect the former to be supplemented by further acquisition activity in the content space," says Davidson.

The analyst also sees further special dividend payments as a "real possibility".

"Against this backdrop we regard the group's current valuation as attractive despite a good run. We reiterate our 288p target price and Add recommendation."

Back in long on the spreads @ 264.59

Just hope I have made the right decision here, volume is fine and chart same except MACD hovering around zero needs to break up rapidly.

Marvelous, down on low volume :0( results had better be good.

New Culture Sec very good news for ITV

Goldfinger is very bullish on these , been posting on all the bb's

Goldfinger was very bullish on a Labour Government alders so I wouldn't trust his judgement :0)

Clarkson ,his producer and the other two are talking with ITV so rumour has it , that wouldn't hurt ..

The above I trust. Strong uptrend till it isn't! :0)

Clarkson ,his producer and the other two are talking with ITV so rumour has it , that wouldn't hur

Hope they don't over pay for it.

Watch Tip TV , mention of ITV and rumor of Liberty raising its stake

aldwickk , think of the advertising revenue for a slot during airtime and the fact that the programme could be sold world wide , just a thought .

Who has the copywrite whatever on the program format and the name Topgear, would they have to rename it and change the content slightly

I do know that Clarkson owned about 30% which he sold back to the BBC some time ago ,Andy Wilman the producer owned 20% which i would think the BBC would have to buy from him if they want to re air it . Or maybe he won't sell who knows .
However lets face it they could call it what they like and change some of the format to get round some of the legal issues, it would still without doubt get better viewing figures than Jodie Kidd and an actor presenting the BBC top Gear .
