Itv Share Discussion Threads

I think you may be right about the US, according to some of the youtube market wizards, Armageddon is on the cards.

Billions in furlough money hit US markets through an app called Robin Hood who let you trade shares free of any fees. It is obvious they are getting a piece of the cake somewhere, maybe on the spread.

Take Hertz, it is bankrupt, the ordinary shareholders will get nowt, the share price dropped from $20 to $1 in February when it's demise was known. Speculation and rumours that Hertz would be saved were in overdrive by rampers. Through Robin Hood rookie traders jumped in on these rumours and the shares in a bankrupt Hertz were being traded from pennies up to $6 or more.

A lot of people have lost their shirts as Hertz are back down to a dollar while nobody knows why the American authorities let it happen. All of it is pure madness!

scooper..I can't guarantee you will reap riches, but you and any others on here who are long ITV, will in my opinion be rewarded.

I have pointed out just how crazy it is too see some great UK companies reduced to penny shares, while across the pond it has been a six month long silly season. How does Netflix have a market cap of near 60 times ITV. It's nuts!

It will all end in tears, not mine though!

Hope I'm not stocking up too much during this consolidation period

Monday November 9th ITV report for the 3rd quarter till end of June 2020. We will see just how bad or not so bad those April-June numbers are.

I think we know that they will be bad, but they may not be near as bad as expected, if they aren't as bad, we could easily see ITV put on a few percent and look more likely to reach a 100p as we get nearer to 2021.

Another thing will be the Xmas advertising, it may not be as badly affected as first thought if those smaller companies who got good deals in the lockdown reaped good results from their foray into main broadcaster advertising. Travel & holiday companies will have thinner budgets as will many others, it will be interesting.

How crazy is a situation where ITV has more than halved in it's share price since January 1st 2020, while Netflix has risen 80%. It makes no sense, they are mired in debt and it it matter not how many subscribers they have, when they pay a fiver a month. The BBC costs £14 a month and raise £3.5 billion, Netflix are deep in losses!

The US markets are flying high on a wing and a prayer, a big correction is long overdue. It shouldn't matter so much to UK markets, we haven't for once followed the US and because of it we are seemingly not too affected by their volatility.

Not if that target is for today...
Time is just as important target as the amount.

[poikka] 12/10/2020 10:14

Barclays has a target of 80p. That's a bit mean.

[netcurtains] 12/10/2020 09:21

The RSI on ITV is approaching 100... I guess lots of small investors must like the recovery story...

[srpactive] 12/10/2020 09:00

That is a very good looking chart.

[srpactive] 12/10/2020 08:32

Looking very strong here now, hopefully first
up day of two or three.

[srpactive] 12/10/2020 08:15

Taking out 76.42p is good, 80p soon.

Two large position expire for Goldman on 9th November. ITV report 3rd Qtr on November 9th.

BOIX: I cant read the article (subscription) - does it give a potential valuation of Channel 4?
It has no TV studios so is totally dependent on advertising. I'm guessing about £500M - Is that realistic?

[boix] 11/10/2020 10:37

Privatisation of Channel 4https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/10/10/privatisation-battle-looming-channel-4/Interesting article but many inaccuracies

[netcurtains] 10/10/2020 18:59

saw Spitting Image episode 2
noticed "netcurtains" got a mention on very first gag (Mrs Jones)
lol...

[alex1621] 10/10/2020 17:52

That's certainly true, and bid talk has been ongoing since Liberty invested, and ramped up significantly when Goldman Sach's got involved ... then momentum went south. GS moves over the last few weeks have been intriguing.

[alex1621] 10/10/2020 17:47

Interestingly the "bid talk" the article is referring to also coincides with some unexplainable moves by Goldman Sachs, who have been lightening up on put, call, CFD instruments. Could just be coincidental, of course?

[trikytree] 10/10/2020 16:20

I think it will this time. The pandemic has created an opportunity that won’t go missed. Maybe I’m wrong but I’d rather be in and long right now than out or short.

[mxguy] 10/10/2020 13:22

Surprised the hapless idiot netcurtains hasnt been on to post about that or spitting image today.ITV the most talked about takeover target never happens.

scooper72: I caught some of the wave. The man to talk to on this is hhh (I sold too early but made a few quid). There is some rights issue and hhh thinks it will rise until the date you get the shares... But only up to a certain price. I cant remember the details. Perhaps go back over this thread and see what he said. I think £3 was mentioned but could be wrong (I have a rubbish memory)

[stansmith3] 09/10/2020 19:09

cooli saw rolls royce tipped, but passed, doh!
