Anything over 20 per 100k and the gov is wary of and may get quarantined.

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 10:12

But airlines are uninvestable again.

Warren Buffett believed it in the past but changed his mind.
He must be kicking himself.

Bob Crandal the long time CEO of American Airlines also said that airlines were essential businesses but un investable.

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 10:07

I wouldn't invest in a company before a share issue, only after , when size and price is known, usually you can pick shares after then for that price. Time will tell.

Times have changed in Covid surges

Funny to think you would not want to be holding many FTSE 100 listed companies over the weekend wondering how bad monday would turn out

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 10:06

"It comes as the latest data shows over the past week there has been a 66 percent increase in newly reported cases and a 52 percent rise in weekly incidence rate per 100,000 population, indicating a sharp rise in COVID-19.

The latest 14-day cumulative figures from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control show 32.1 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in France, compared with 18.5 in the UK."

'Invest when there is blood on the streets.'

The big worry is the UK economy.
Things could get really bad this autumn, winter.
There will be civil unrest.

Covid Brexit Protectionism Unemployment, plenty to worry about.

Johnson will blame Covid19.

What is uk rate per 100k. Csnnot find anywhere. Its all about other countries

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 09:38

The thing is now, we are locked in a cycle of having to force people to quarantine for 14 days if they come back from a country with say over 30 people per 100k with covid.
Now the number of countries will only increase over the next few months as we head into autumn/winter.
So more of the same, until there is a vaccine or the covid drops off the chart.
The approach should have been, protect the vulnerable and let the rest get on with it maybe?

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 09:30

Smithy. But with over capacity, wont airlines just drop their prices to get bums on seats? Then worry about if it's profitable or not later? Thus keeping prices low?

[ohsod1t] 14/8/2020 09:09

Sorry that was to sparsam who was predicting a pound today. Private charters are also very busy. They also don't raise their prices when things get busy.

[smithys2019] 14/8/2020 09:01

“ Until airlines can run at 80-85% capacity, they are loss making, I thought?”

At LoCo ticket prices, yes.

Don’t expect those prices to stay.

[montyhedge] 14/8/2020 08:59

The bad news just keeps on coming.

[hodhasharon] 14/8/2020 08:59

I hate to say this but I suspect we could see 150p here next week. Still hold and will continue to top up. Long term I think we'll do ok.

British Airways

£452 is high for Economy

The least expensive flights for similar trips to London usually cost between £60 - 170.

[action] 14/8/2020 08:23

If goes to Monty's target of 155p I will start buying in tranches. No rush now as market is weak till we get news of COVID19 vaccine news which will be earliest by Nov 20th.

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 08:22

Hmmm. Desperate people, paying thousands to cross the Channel, what's new?

Who is worse the people smugglers or the opportunistic 'official' people carriers?

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 07:59

185 my guess open

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2020 07:15

Am sure the uk gov will see this as part justification...
