so you never want them to pay a dividend again just in case HMRC has a little bit
Personally i liked to see a dividend as companies that brag about growth etc but the only appear to gain are the directors
But i guess Telsa is example against that idea but each to their own way
so i am old school

If they continue their dividend policy (which seems to be c5.8p) won't that mean that half the money we gave them a few weeks ago will come back to us a few weeks later, less HMRC's take?

Yup, agreed Markie, that was IMO a clear signal of intent.....market maybe taking some profits, no surprise there. Also maybe working on a more "normalised" 2021 whatever that could mean! DYOR

clicked the buy button this morning instead of the sell button,
I think will just go back to bed!!

[markie7] 15/7/2020 07:02

Div policy comment a clear hint towards resumption or why mention it? All good

[qs99] 15/7/2020 06:55

Yup indeed

Moving back to normalised trading - cautiously optimistic.

Profitable in July.

Good hedge if CV19 second wave.

New contracts.

Sounds good to me.

Why dilute shareholders to reduce debt though in the current low interest rate environment (that will remain for many years). Cost of debt is much cheaper than cost of equity when dividend pay outs resume..

[earwacks] 14/7/2020 15:04

Re "why placing'. Reduced debt from Redline purchase and also opened two new offices in Houston and Singapore. LA office opened two years ago

topped up again here. only solid news to come from most of the markets, and it is still below pre-covid levels.

[trident5] 10/7/2020 06:39

But the price was only up on its option pricing; the placing was at around half where the company should be trading.

[podgyted] 10/7/2020 00:23

When your share price is up it makes sense to do a placing if you have opportunities.

Tesla spent an age saying they didn't need further equity, but when their share price rose dramatically they cashed in for the future.

Nothing wrong with that.

[haywards26] 09/7/2020 19:04

I don’t get why they required a placing..doesn’;t really make sense in a time of exceptional profits and cashflows..without an acquisition etc..

[trident5] 09/7/2020 16:53

H26 - but we just gave the company a wodge of cash, now you want some of it back?
Its not very tax efficient.

[qs99] 09/7/2020 15:06

Through a. Quid shortly?

[haywards26] 09/7/2020 11:55

Would be good to hear about a reinstatement of the dividend given the exceptional profits being achieved this year..I think that would be another catalyst to drive the share price higher.

[steeplejack] 09/7/2020 07:48

Ridiculously wide nominal spread to assist MMs to line their pockets.Naughty bookies.

[qs99] 08/7/2020 11:39

Few buys coming in at a quid....GLA

Don’t beat yourself up about it marmar80. I’ve personally found decisions on when, and if, to sell so much harder than if to buy. I normally get it wrong, but I’ve always just wanted the Div’s from AP (I’m a fan of John Lee). I’ve paid as much as £1.13 for AP in the past, so still underwater on that particular trade!

[marmar80] 07/7/2020 20:56

Today can say I regret selling at 45. Didnt see it much higher about 2 months ago. Very surprised that air is flying higher than before covid. Well done to those who stayed in.

[lcw888] 07/7/2020 20:24

I’m treating myself to champagne tonight on the share price hitting £1 (or the offer at least) and my portfolio hitting the +400% return mark. I don’t post very often to this BB, but I read all your comments on a daily basis. I went very large in March and I literally didn’t sleep properly for weeks worrying if I’d misread the opportunity and researching every aspect of the air charter market. In hindsight it was an easy decision, but at the time there was a lot of self doubt! Anyway, I have no intention of selling any shares. I’m in for all the future dividends. I’m still a bit bitter at being diluted by the share placing at 75p, so I really hope that cash is used wisely because now is the time to expand!

Trident5, of course it is bad news that, by their actions, inaction, incompetence and ineptitude, useless politicians and useless governments and useless international health organisations and the useless EU and the lying and deceiving Chinese government have all together brought this health catastrophe down on the world with hundreds of thousands of deaths and all its associated economic impact. But this board is not the place for reprimanding and shaming speech and figures of speech. QS99 was obviously referring to "views" in relation to the impact on AIR. Nothing more. My view is that AIR is actually contributing positively to helping to mitigate the consequences of the problem and we as shareholders are doing likewise and we ought to be proud of that. If, as a result of that, we and AIR make some profit, we and AIR richly deserve it. We are certainly not the ones to be shamed and censored. The targets for that kind of thing are elsewhere.
