Morning all & QP :)

With the greatest respect Mr Pipkin I believe that they have significantly more experience at this sort of thing than you do.

So 1300p the target is. Time to go long it would appear.

All IMVHO

Cantor respected?

You mean the ex inter dealer broker that is not really an investment bank who few listen to?

[andy pipkin] 17/10/2016 10:20

tslob

I hope you havnt forgotten the brokers that downgraded here, or do they not count now?

Another bounce sold into, today.

[tlobs2] 17/10/2016 09:28

Nice to see several well respected brokers putting our target prices significantly higher than the current one.

And lest we forget there are over twenty four million shares required to cover the current short positions. I think the first of those positions reducing or closing will give this a huge spike. And that is shares not pounds ;-)

When a share consolidates, it usually carries on moving in the prevailing direction afterwards.

LOL!

Has Stelios become an idiot over the weekend?

[larva] 17/10/2016 08:52

1000p this week. will a stelios bid, if he does 1500p required

Wise words .........



The dividend yield is 5%. We note that consensus forecasts for this year (2017) have fallen sharply and now suggest no growth year-on-year. If 2017 proves to be less turbulent there could be good upside to consensus. We view the current price as an attractive entry level point and reiterate buy, with a target price of 1,300p.

EasyJet pumps cash into tech start-ups

Budget airline easyJet is investing in tech companies via Founders Factory
ALAMY
EasyJet has pumped a “multimillion-pound” sum into a start-up accelerator that it hopes will breed the next big thing in the so-called travel-tech industry.

The low-cost airline has backed Founders Factory, a London investment vehicle that will use cash from large companies to invest in 200 technology start-ups across six sectors within the next five years. Other big names that have signed up include Aviva and L’Oréal.

Founders Factory is the brainchild of lastminute.com co-founder Brent Hoberman. It invests about £30,000 in each company from which it takes a 7% stake and during a six-month period links fledgling firms directly…

Makes sense. In addition Gatwick being a prime base extremely important as less competition . If some of the rumors are true that the goverment are going to approval both Gatwick and Heathrow re runway expansion even better. Even with one runway Gateick is seeing greater long haul routes , thus becoming a connecting airport. Brilliant for Easyjet. QP was harping on re Stansted before and Easyjets share of traffic. Jet2 arriving there etc. brilliant in my view. All it will do is hammer Ryanair etc. a very competitive airport and best to swim in another . As an example I need to travel to Faro at the end of January next year for a meeting . Stansted Ryanair flight is 16.99.take off the airport duty, my seat 3.99 In Portugal at the moment JET2 articles in paper we fly from Standsted in 2017. Gatwick is Easyjets and in effect apart from a couple of airlines has the North terminal as its own. I know I would be happy having Gatwick ( very full) that being in airports than can open up to all and take your market share. QP has had a good run over recent months but a strong balance sheet, being in the right place will pay off

Going sideways here - will there be a bounce?

[12bn] 14/10/2016 13:23

Fat Andy is not very good at shorting tlobs2,ask him about his first short,LMC (lastminute.com) it received a bid the very next day that he shorted and the share price leaped 40%,he lost a fortune. Ask him about it tlobs2,it will annoy him! LOL

[tlobs2] 14/10/2016 13:13

Abndy, QuePassa only posts mainly facts ;-) Don't question the numbers.


Twenty four million shares is a huge amount and once they start closing their positions as they must do in time then the price will rocket.

[andy pipkin] 14/10/2016 13:00

And 100% of shares that will be sold at some time in the future.

Do try and keep a grip on reality.

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.


Great news QuePAssa, that means that there are around twenty four millions shares that need to be purchased at some time in the future.

BOOM !!!!!

There is a fair gap between 888p and zero. I dont think any shorters are losing sleep about that remote possibility./////// There is a 'fair gap' between your ears fatso but nobody is losing sleep over that either.

Another very negative article. Downbeat and worrying.

Today .

Publication:-

MoneyWeek


Title:-

EasyJet hits turbulence


Snippet:-

"But that might not be enough to tempt investors. “Prospects for earnings themselves are the real worry. One tough year could be viewed as exceptional, but the City is expecting at least three before the clouds clear.” Not all investors may be willing to wait that long, says Bryce Elder on FT Alphaville. “If I were a shareholder,” he says, “I’d be asking questions.”

If I took myself seriously I wouldn't be posting my dreamy thoughts. Money isn't that important anyway. Most of us can enjoy several foreign holidays a year but haven't enough to charter our own plane or own a massive yacht.

Stelios is going to be all over sunday papers, bleating
Bid talks will send this sharply higher on monday imho
