Trump on Spitting Image should do well - will have some great gags about Trumps covid and the "cures" he attempts to use... The whole point is that its pretty nasty.

[stansmith3] 02/10/2020 07:48

How will lampooning Trump on Spitting Image go down now?

[hamhamham1] 01/10/2020 17:02

My guess, today high NY covid cases, that puts pressure on Republicans to do a stimulus deal with Pelosi, will be done by end of todays closing, and wack markets up, let's see.

Edit: Seems I was optimistic :)

it gets interesting now though as it will be knocking on ftse 100 re inclusion if it keeps plowing on

[srpactive] 01/10/2020 13:19

Dow futures rising nicely into the open.

Bodes well for the ftse.

I never said it was a competitor to them. However Amazon already work with Britbox and may see it as a useful acquisition. Netflix already have loads of C4 content and have taken loads of ITV content in the past when ITV has been willing. They pay a fortune for new content as they need more and more to keep their subscribers happy. If they thought amazon had any interest here they’d join the bidding straight away. Britbox is no competitor but it would be a great addition and Netflix couldn’t watch Amazon get it for a steal and risk losing all that content. As I say, maybe unlikely but not impossible.

ITV is not a competitor to Netflix, or Apple and Amazon for that matter. Netflix's budget for programming exceeds ITV's market capitalisation ... Britbox is a niche product that might do very well, targeted at English speaking countries. It's a great added extra to studios ... which I think is the area with the greatest potential for growth.

I agree with you jacko on all counts, 2021 will be a big year for ITV and a lot of UK shares.

[trikytree] 01/10/2020 12:49

Amazon fully aware of Britbox and ITV. Any interest from them would rattle Netflix. Still probably unlikely but if it happens would see 200p.

[jarega85] 01/10/2020 12:44

Will keep saying it. 70p by the end of the week

[hamhamham1] 01/10/2020 12:41

Strong, steady share price movement, perfect :)

[netcurtains] 01/10/2020 11:07

Nice to see a non-exec director by a few thousand...
Shows confidence.

netcurt...The spike up is good but a lot of it is most likely helped by the William Hill takeover. William Hill is not in the same sector as ITV, but the takeover has shone a spotlight on the UK. The world will catch on fairly soon!

ITV are one of two I place as at least gaining 100% from my stand in average of a shade under 60p. I am long on half a dozen UK household names because I see them as dirt cheap. I am pretty much in deep, but if I had more funds available there are at least another half dozen I would buy.

ITV will never be this cheap again unless something really bad happens like a US meltdown similar to 08, a no virus vaccine for another 6 or more months or Brexit doesn't get a good outcome. The EU will deal, both us and them need it to survive and they know it.

Yes tremble bottom formed, higher highs and higher lows,
expecting mid seventies and eighty quite quickly to be
fair.

Yes agreed I purchased again this morning

[peddlers] 01/10/2020 10:12

Bought again today

[netcurtains] 01/10/2020 09:41

No, it could easily break 70p - just depends on a percent or two after 12 noon...

[ivanborsky] 01/10/2020 09:38

That would be nice but I can't see it happening after a strong run in the last few sessions but hey glad to be proved wrong !!

[srpactive] 01/10/2020 08:13

US future up 200, so hopefully a strong morning followed by
US support. Would expect a challenge of 70p today.

FTSE up generally this morning so hopefully we should finish the day up with of course usual swings up and down during the day (all touchwood)

[nige co] 30/9/2020 22:06

Nice strong volume of shares traded again today over the pond 54,844 average 15,982.

[trikytree] 30/9/2020 20:35

Happy to hold for 150.

[geckotheglorious] 30/9/2020 18:21

Jim,

Yeah saw that.

Fingers crossed eh as it'll be nice to sell at, what one hopes, will be a decent profit at some point.
