The recent traffic update from IAG should have positive implications for HRG focussed on business and premium travel segment. IAG posted a rise in passenger traffic for June thanks to continued growth in first-class and business-class travel. Group premium traffic for the month of June grew by 25.2 per cent compared to the previous year, with 6.7 per cent growth in non-premium traffic and with demand continuing to show firm underlying growth particularly in the long haul premium segment.

70p by Friday?

Is this an Elliott wave case? Wishfull thinking?

'Cos wave 1 = 30 to 60 = 30p
wave 2 goes back to 52p
wave 3 = 52 + (30*1.642 = 49p) = 52+49 = 101p.

Hmmmmmmm

Cheers Junglee, chart says to me breakout coming fairly soon.

[junglee] 08/6/2011 20:38

Investec rates it BUY with a 100p target, (66.7% potential upside)

[napoleon 14th] 08/6/2011 12:28

No comment, eh?
Dead fred here, thought there was a new one!
Nope!

[cockneyrebel] 25/5/2011 10:02

Nice volume today.

CR

Heading towards a breakout.

[cockneyrebel] 25/5/2011 08:07

Yep, rather good I thought - and the outlook is strong too :-)

CR

Very nice RNS and I very much liked this bit of it:

- Strong results supported by recovery in corporate travel

AND the dividend has been increased ;-))

[cockneyrebel] 24/5/2011 12:44

Results tomorrow

CR

[cockneyrebel] 20/5/2011 15:33

Ah,a aa a---are you trying to seduce me Missus Hogg Robinson?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 17/5/2011 11:09

Results in 6 trading days.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 10/5/2011 17:44

I hope so - it could be more imo - depends what the resistance becomes when it breaks that previous high imo.

CR

[nellie1973] 10/5/2011 17:06

Bought some this morning, never expected that spike, returning to trend. CR- your right about 70p+!!

[cockneyrebel] 10/5/2011 13:34

Bouncing bang on trend - looking for 70p+ after the results - or before perhaps?

[cockneyrebel] 10/5/2011 12:14

moving up after that volume - seller cleared?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 05/5/2011 16:26

Right on the 50 day moving average here - reckon thisd will be the level it gets bought at ahead of the results imo.

Darn right exciting last time they put out a trading statement and it's now back to the level before they posted that.

[jeff h] 05/5/2011 10:39

I'm still here CR - just not a lot of new news to report

[cockneyrebel] 05/5/2011 10:00

7.5p eps forecast for the coming year - a PE of 7.6, I guess it will take the results to wake everyone up again, as they did on the recent trading statement.

Lovely quiet thread - wich is what I like, talking to myself most of the time! :-)
