Re: Any stock market dabblers on here?
I don’t it’ll fully recover but it’ll improve from being grounded. People are still travelling for business and holidays after this.

Re: Any stock market dabblers on here?
Are there actually flights at the moment? I honestly just assumed there were none at all.

Croesy is investing in IAG which is not in quite the same predicament, although BA have announced they are no longer flying from Gatwick I think.

Re: Any stock market dabblers on here?
I bought stocks in Boeing after 9/11. I should have bought Lockheed Martin. Oh well. I still made a profit. I wanted to buy Continental Airlines but but my broker taklked me out of it. I shouldn't have listened. I'd be tempted to buy a major airline like United again.

A good percentage of the UK's fresh fruit and veg comes in daily by airfreight.
I can recall satanding on the paron in Gatwick see a plane literally full of boxes of courgettes being unloaded at 7 o'clock in the morinng. Came from jordan or somewhere.

We apparently grow 60% of our food here, hopefully it will be a lot more after this. Let’s get self sufficient. We should have each local community having a patch growing stuff like they do all over Cuba.

I was talking only in relation to the corporations run by multi-millionaires and billionaires who have leeched off the Govt. - they can f**k off. Making sure that smaller, independent companies and businesses are going to survive the pandemic is definitely the right thing to do in my book.

IAG up 15% since this today. Might only be temporary but wish I'd bought more now.

Stock markets have taken a big bounce, FTSE above 6000 today. Glencore I've made 10% so far, up 7.6% today.

But the shares are down 16.64% over 1 month but are up 1.73% over the last 5 days so today's rise is somewhat misleading. Whether you win or lose depends when they are bought.

Yeah, wondering when Croesy bought his shares.

they are rebooking seats from other airports OR trying to get you on a partner airline ( i guess mainly Delta ) , no need to do anything, they will do it all, just check your " my booking " ,as the routes from Gatwick closed so did the use of the 747's , so thats BA, Virgin and Lufthansa all ditching the ageing 747's, Delta have just retired all 777's aswell, so looking like the smaller planes will be the only option, cheaper to run though, thus less carbon footprint :thumbup:
i believe the old virgin planes end up at st Athans to be ripped down

Some airlines, including Air France and Emirates, are even dumping the A380. I think there are a couple of Virgin A340's at St Athan. These planes are newish in aviation terms but they are uneconomical to run as they have 4 engines. However, I wonder if the lower oil prices might make airlines change their minds.

They’re up 30% since I bought them now. Still a good chance they’ll drop again, but I always thought they’d bounce back eventually.

Exactly. I think the 2 biggest bounces happened on the stock market during the collapse in 1920's
