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!

World Cup Rugby fever should boost revenues with the latest win over France, another bull point, added to Michael Grade tenureship, BskyB forced selling for possible takeover and solid divi.

Bought in this morning on recent weekness. I would add F1 to that list though Falcothou, a lot of people are watching this poor sport now thanks to hamilton and I believe ITV have the rights for 3 years which should maintain solid advertising streams.

yes, probably a good opportunity to buy at these levels (around 103p) . Looks to be interesting times ahead.

Charles Allen, the former chief executive of ITV, has been appointed as a senior adviser to the private equity arm of Goldman Sachs and will take a seat on the board of the main European television producer Endemol, which may revive ITV bid talk

At this price bids go to come sooner rather than later, wont be no where near 1.45 mentioned on here though, reading the press coverage there are quite a few in the running. Anybody would be nice !!

The problem for ITV is there is no need to do anything, except at the right-price. If Endomol wanted their own channel they'd need a lot more material and with that the quality is bound to suffer, with deadlines etc. Therefore, they'll need to invite all-commers who may be dubious about giving a rival their ideas, months in advance.
Currently abt. 39p; - Ch4 has just told the Market they are to drop their Radio channels - due to lack of advertising, esp as companies cut expenditure. So I don't see any t/o very attractive for ITV shareholders at the moment.
EDIT(6Mch09):- just 18p now - no sniff of profits seems to worry investors....
EDIT-(6Jy09)- nearly 40p, plans to sell FriendsUnited for a fifth what they paid - looks dumb.

Rising on potential promotion to FTSE 100.

Taken up a long positon here on push through 51p resistance.

As skinny points out we should see strength on the potential rise up.

Also in on that spike down @ 48.4

Yep a little dissapointing the small fall today splat, but Im sticking in I think all the TA is pointing to a breakout especially ADX trending at around 50 !!!!!!.

Will post the chart which I have up across the road on chart attack....

Breaks 50p only minor resistance til 90p gf.

What you doing on the traders board ?

:-)

Traders board... what traders board Dil?.

Chart taken from Sc site chart attack thread....... best around.

Yep 90p will do me.

Sorry mate had two windows open , thought you had gone soft in your old age and joined the traders board :-)

On the watch list but currently at a crucial technical level , will take a look at the fundys later.

Good luck.

Cheers bud.

retired at xmas (grand age of 51, 41 for any available fit women) and now full time trading so TA is coming back into my posting. Originally started out as a TAer but it conflicted with the day job accounting.

Hope your doing well,

regards.

Thanks for that gf, yes, looking promising and 90p would do me too :-)

splat, looks like the markets in general are ready to close down for the bank Holiday weekend. Always happens in august a fall off in general.

Not going to be panicked here. Just hold and wait.

indeed gf, trouble is, when they all come back, I wonder if a fair amount of profit-taking will ensue before the run-up to Xmas. After all, there is a considerable amount of profit to take from the last few months!

whoops!

Still in the uptrend channel though splat. A fall below 46p would see us break the channel floor. So im taking mi chances and holding firm at the moment.
