1200p pre Referendum



Still a nice big profit for when we get there

[onjohn] 28/2/2017 15:21

The rally is highly satisfying

[tlobs2] 28/2/2017 12:41

Pengi, it depends when you buy. I wasn't a holder before Brexit.

[quepassa] 28/2/2017 12:23

The problem has been for the long-term holders who have committed the first and worst cardinal sin of share ownership of falling in love with a share - and who become totally blind to reality. As well portrayed in the very astute post by Pengi.

Putting it another way......

Denial is not a River in Africa.

"Let the share price performance since the referendum vote speak for itself"

I couldn't agree more! This has been one of the best trading shares in the FTSE 100 since the referendum.
Buy any significant dips on sensible margin using sb or cfd.
Hold.
Sell at a profit.
Use profit to buy non margined shares on paper.
Collect dividend.
Repeat.

I cam't speak for anyone other than me and the monkey, but we've done well out of that strategy. It doesn't matter if you're in love with the sector or not.

1200p pre Referendum

940p TODAY and the operating environment looks weaker and weaker.



The facts speak for themselves.

It's not like you to be economical with the truth.

When it was at all time lows after Brexit you were predicting it to fall even more. History will show that not to be the case. That was the time when several investors bought in, you clearly didn't.

Go back and read some of your own posts. It's there (multiple copies of the same dross) in black and white.

Price prior to Brexit vote 1200p

Price today 940p

I think the idiots are the ones who haven't looked at the overall performance of EasyJet since Brexit when they were saying that people would stop flying and the World was coming to an end ;-)

It's clear that EasyJet have a loyal and growing customer base who are happy to pay more for the quality of service offered over and above the carriers who are basically giving their flights away. The real idiots are the ones who believe that all customers look for the cheapest possible service providers.

Any idiot that bought on a spread bet or cfd at around 10.30, just made over 10 points on his call........
Not bad for thirty minutes work. BTFD!

"EasyJet's biggest shareholder and Founder, the highly regarded Sir Stelios as per a Quote from an article in The Guardian following the 2016 AGM:"

I wonder how many shares he's sold since then?
If he continues to hold, I wonder how many shares he still has?

Only an idiot would continue to hold here, because:

"the bleak operating environment and unprecedented excess capacity which is leading to extreme price discounting will likely hit hard the profitability of the short-haul operators."

[reallyrich] 28/2/2017 10:44

EasyJet
based on current market cap won't get demoted unless capita adds 70or so million to there market value by the end of today.

Infact Investtec now seems to have a market capital slightly less than EasyJet.

Of course these can all change later in the day

[tlobs2] 28/2/2017 10:29

Did itreally take you 40 minutes between posts to cut and paste yet another load of dross?

Lest we forget.....

Speaking at the Company's Annual General Meeting in Luton today, John Barton, Chairman of easyJet plc, said:

"The Board would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support. The Board would also like to thank all of easyJet's people who are central to the delivery of the airline's success. They help create easyJet's unique and winning combination of Europe's best route network, great value fares and our famous friendly service.

"Through the continued delivery of easyJet's successful strategy and our relentless focus on cost the airline is on track to deliver further long term sustainable profitable growth for shareholders."

Share price performing dismally this year and potentially in my opinion to get much, much worse against an appalling operating environment.

Already down from 1080 to 940p in just six weeks , yet certain parties believe the price is going up,

The big question for shareholders going forward will be the dividend sustainability

On the basis that the dividend payout policy is founded on a RATIO LINKED TO PROFITABILITY , it seems to me in my opinion only that one cannot rule out the possibility of a not insignificant cut in dividend going forward.

A very, very worrying time ahead.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Another schoolboy error there QuePassa.

You don't seem to realise that the 3.82% (plus little minnows) is a huge positive for the share price. The positions that are short will have to pay whatever the market dictates at some point in the future.

That is a lot of shares that needs to be bought and with the rising price the pressure is building on a daily basis for them to start closing. This in itself will accelerate the price increases. It's one of the basics QuePassa relating to supply and demand.

[quepassa] 28/2/2017 09:20

January 2017 price 1080p.

Six weeks later price today 940p.

But someone thinks the price is going up.......



January 11th. 2017 total short positions 1.55%

Today total disclosable short positions 3.82%



Seems pretty clear that the professional shorters who correctly called the price down from 1950p to 900/1000p are likely to be right again. That's why over six weeks, the professional shorters have more than doubled their short exposure.

This is a high risk share in my opinion and the potential relegation from the FTSE is a further problem in a very, very, very bleak operating environment.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Easy jet has a weighting in the ftse of 0.14% in the FTSE. Clearly trackers have to buy however if we see a pull back in the market and thus greater use of etf shorts , might be positive being outside!! Just a view

[tlobs2] 28/2/2017 09:10

I see that the price continues to drift Northwards.

The shorters will be feeling the pressure building as there is around 4% out so there are plenty more sizeable positions that will have to start closing.

[quepassa] 28/2/2017 09:09

Won't be long now until we hear the outcome of the FTSE reshuffle.


According to City AM " EasyJet set to be ejected in FTSE's quarterly reshuffle this week"

See article here

hXXp://www.cityam.com/259864/easyjet-set-ejected-ftses-quarterly-reshuffle-week


This is potentially very bad news. If EasyJet is relegated, the share price is likely in my view to drift much, much lower.

ALL IMO. DYOR.
