Sub 500p! Market uncertainty providing a great opportunity to buy.

Don't tell you think share price / markets are rational :-)

IAG shouldn't be overly impacted by the vote as it is an international player. It will impacted by any world slowdown though!

[younasm] 10/6/2016 11:45

Yes -- but losing value in my long positions. Added this morning around 501 level. Bought long put calendars : July/Aug 540p -- let's see if it can rise after the Brexit vote??

[alphorn] 10/6/2016 10:55

....your short calls at least should be safe next week!

[younasm] 08/6/2016 14:16

Not sure why IAG is struggling to rise -- must be the oil price ??I am short of lots of June 560/580/600 calls; will be glad to expire these at zero next Friday 17th June.My long term positions are mainly bullish 480-600 range until Dec-2016. A gradual rise to 600p or more by year-end would be perfect.

Hi younasm - my option positions sit in the 500-550 range at present.

[younasm] 25/5/2016 12:20

Looking better today -- expect some resistance around 550p

[younasm] 24/5/2016 17:12

Finally, a move back to 530p level. Still underperforming.

There was a piece in this article that i did like amongst the backdrop.

It is thought to be considering bids for Wizz Air.

Doha, Qatar - Qatar Airways has today increased its shareholding in IAG to 15.01%. Qatar Airways has decided to further deepen its relationship with IAG and the increased stake recognises the strengthening commercial and strategic ties between the companies‎.

Qatar Airways believes IAG is very well positioned in Europe on the back notably of its attractive exposure to the Transatlantic segment, its leading positions at the London and Madrid hubs and the future benefits from the acquisition ‎of Aer Lingus. Qatar Airways fully supports this ongoing strategy.

Non-EU shareholders of IAG including Qatar Airways are subject to an overall cap on non-EU ownership as a result of the requirement for EU airlines to be majority owned by EU shareholders. Qatar Airways may consider increasing its stake further over time within the allowable limits.

"We have been very happy with our investment in IAG, from a financial, commercial and strategic perspective. The relationship formed has helped to deliver on our westbound strategy. Furthermore, IAG's proven management and strategic direction have been the basis on which we will continue to forge a long-term relationship" said His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways.".

As an observation,why was the Qatar announcement of an increase in their stake from 9.99% to 12% in IAG made public three days prior to the Q1 results.The share price rose to 555p in response to the announcement.So all the investors suckered into buying three days ago now have up to a maximum 30p loss per share to nurse.I bet they're chuffed about that!.Was there a regulatory requirement about Qatar being forced to reveal the upping of their stake here in IAG? When was their share purchase completed? It all appears badly timed,yet conveniently so if you want to first ramp and then dump! ummmmmmmmm.....

Brexit,Brexit and Brexit.3 reasons why IAG shares bombed again.I just love the excuses business analysts use to explain the price drops.With Easyjet,it was striking French airtraffic controllers.With IAG it was the fact they are slowing growth plans for the airline because of Paris/Brussels terror attacks and the softening demand for premium travel seats.Willie and IAG's forward guidance is to match last year's bumper profits.Logically then it is only reasonable for the share price to fall another 5%,to match the already 5% share price fall for the entire fiscal year to date.Makes perfect sense to me! Hopefully,the share price will be 525p on 24/6, the day after the referendum ,and i can start investing here again.At least a dividend is payable now to provide an incentive for investing.A nice special one-off dividend payment like Easyjet managed a while back wouldn't go amiss.But no, i'm sure share buy-backs will be the priority as usual. Just galls me when shorters cash in everytime it's results time with IAG at my and other investors expense.Well not now because i'm not in here.But surely the company can do more to protect itself and shareholders against the blatant manipulation that goes on around results time.26m shares traded yesterday.Opening price 525p,finished the day around the same price.At one point share dropped suddenly to 518p,then a few minutes and trades later, low and behold,share price was back to 525p where it stayed.Emphasises the fact that whatever results are announced,this share price will fall.That can't be right.

The Royal Bank of Scotland fell 6pc on losses of 1bn. IAG fell 4.72pc on profits of 155m euros. Are the markets working properly?
I think that for a safer investment, it is time to go Ladbroke and put my money on Bournemouth wining the premier next year.
