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!

Looking good these, awaiting a possible entry point.

My minimum target would be 190p.

In at last.. Any time frame on that 190p Dill? -):

The week after CCFC get in the top 3 :-)

Don't build his hopes up Skinny, The nearest the Car-duffers will ever get to the top 3 is reading about them in their home programme every other week

And the beat goes on, 190p a mere bagatelle Dil :O)

Every little helps!
