Morning all - I see I haven't missed much. Shorters still claiming world is ending - meanwhile EZJ just gets on with business. I'll pop in from time to time while I'm away.

IOM. you may need to understand the basics before you look at the finer points when you write such stuff which has little bearing on market practice.

Morning all

Looking a lot better for the holders at the moment, a move over
900.5p and the shorts will close very quickly indeed.

Watching and waiting.

There is a fair gap between 888p and zero. I dont think any shorters are losing sleep about that remote possibility.

[iomhere] 14/10/2016 09:45

Autumn and winter are priced in anyway and it appears more business travellers are using EasyJet. As for shorting, I can't say I know anything about the finer points but the positions will have to be closed because the probability of EasyJet going into administration tends to zero. From a maths point of view, supposing a gambler shorts a stock which actually goes into administration and is delisted. The purchaser asks for ownership (certificate or whatever) and the shorter cannot provide it because he doesn't have it and so, presumably, is in legal default under common law. Hard lines on the shorter. Maths asks what is the worst situation and the answer is calamity. What is the best situation, answer a small percentage increase in the shorter's capital.

Overall disclosable short positions continue to rise.

Now over the 6% level, at a new record total of 6.02% short.

This means that Easyjet is the now 12th. most heavily shorted stock as judged by disclosable positions as at 14/10/16.

These short positions have quadrupled since June 24th by way of illustration.

A worrying trend perhaps as the sector enters the quieter flying periods over autumn and winter.


ALL IMO. DYOR.

Looking better for a close above 875.5p.

[tlobs2] 13/10/2016 16:30

Expand Plumpkin if you can ....

[andy pipkin] 13/10/2016 16:09

LOL!

10/10 for persistence.

0/10 for grasp of the subject.

seagullsslimjim, future fuel costs impact on all airlines.

There could well be a few more staycationers they will however be outnumbered by the hundreds of thousands of additional visitors to the UK (arriving and departing by aircraft) seeking cheap holidays.

This will also have a knock on effect for the UK economy.

I appreciate your view and yes it was a different company
back then, but as they say what goes around comes around.

But thank you and you too.

Keep posting.

As I said if 875.5p can hold all the better, could even bounce.

You mean 2012-2013 chart surely

[seagullsslimjim] 13/10/2016 15:49

well the current challenges are -

1: future fuel costs
2: increase in staycations for UK travellers

[tlobs2] 13/10/2016 15:35

With the greatest respect, I do believe in the power of charts, however, the issues that EasyJet faced in 2002 have no relevance to the challenges and opportunities that they currently face in 2016.

All IMHO and best of luck to you :-)

[srpactive] 13/10/2016 15:11

Of course it does, go to advfn charts, then basic, then enter
correct details including rsi 50. Then you might be informed.

Good heavens as I have said we can all learn from each other,
whether long or short, a good balanced investor with experience
has learned to listen to both sides to become better and balanced.

I bought in here at 126p before selling a lot higher.

Just here watching and waiting.

PMSL.

Do you have a copy stored on parchment?

It has no relevance whatsoever to the current share price.

[srpactive] 13/10/2016 15:02

No, why weren't you born then.

[tlobs2] 13/10/2016 14:52

At the moment prices are going up and down on a whole load of stocks for irrational reasons so it doesn't really matter how many years experience you have or whether it is good or bad.

That's why some self proclaimed financial experts and analists pluck wild figures out of the air and then put out their Broker Forecast which are invariable wrong!


"get the chart up from 2002"


I do take it that was a typo?

[srpactive] 13/10/2016 14:35

tlobs

Why don'tyou look at the support level, at 875.5p
and then get the chart up from 2002 and see there is one heck of a
drop to the next support IF 875.5p does not hold.

I have been investing and commenting for 30 years very successfully
indeed, now grow up or shut up.

What a load of tosh.

Have you been looking into a cup of tea leaves again?

[srpactive] 13/10/2016 14:11

If 875.5p breaks to the downside it will be very testing times.

[tlobs2] 13/10/2016 13:27

I very much doubt it Andy.

This will be allowed to move up and down in the range of 875p-925p until the news breaks.

[andy pipkin] 13/10/2016 12:22

Every bounce being sold. Looking like the next leg down is coming imo.
