Yes another good point. If you have several good stocks then it doesn’t much matter if one or two start to tank.

I find having a mixed portfolio is best FTSE 100 to Micro Tiny companies. There is always something to keep you on your toes and you dont worry too much if the odd share fall back a bit. If you have a portfolio of one you're asking for trouble

When do they start kicking people out of "Get Me Out of here, I'm a celeb"
Watched it last night - it is quite addictive.

The biggest challenge in investing is psychology, the fear of losing a profit is stronger than the fear of losing out on much higher gains.

[peddlers] 27/11/2020 11:11

Yes fully agree. It’s goes against human nature to buy high and sell even higher but that’s what we need to do to make money.

[alex1621] 27/11/2020 11:01

Not for him though. But irrespective of that he's an investor at heart and expecting to make a good return. Something for profit takers, who are psychologically anchored to the lows, to think about. They might miss out.

That is actually a lot of money!

Edward Bonham Carter, ex fund manager head, buys 50,000 at 93p. A small vote of confidence from a non-executive.

people travel a long way for fresh air. If you could bring fresh air to the people there probably is good money in it.

Thanks for the tip.

Can't you buy oxygen in Asia for the worst polluted cities ?

So we have to avoid this morning on Fridays because it makes me sick I can not stand obese people , why do they not stop eating and look in the mirror , they is no need to be obese It's ugly if I put on a pound I stop eating Have been 11.1 for 30 years

As predicted the monkeys at the London office of GS are in charge today whilst the organ grinders in the US are off on Thanksgiving holiday. 93p filled, thank you and 92p filled, again thank you. Have some more buy orders now at 90p & 89p. Love it !!!!!

[ivanborsky] 25/11/2020 09:59

Just left another couple of buy orders on at 93p & 92p GTC. Thanksgiving holiday over in the US may see GS play their fund and games for the rest of the week but the days of shorting ITV are now long gone. Call them down and I will gladly top up !!!

24 Nov, 16:35 GMT 97.06 GBX +4.82 (5.23%)

Always nice to see the share price close at the highest price of the day, this IMO bodes well going forward. We're knocking on the door of 100p again, we will be beyond 100p soon, maybe this week, I think once through 100p we can look forward to possibly 120p by Christmas if we get a EU trade deal next week, now that would be a good Christmas present. Onwards and upwards guys.

[ivanborsky] 24/11/2020 16:32

Lets see what GS do next ?? Great work today team !!!

[tlobs2] 24/11/2020 15:04

Boom.

Well done to all believers, and that despite the GS manipulation :-)

[alex1621] 24/11/2020 13:35

I'm with you on that, I think next year in particular will see an economic bounce back. The most beaten down survivors should do well.

[mossy11] 24/11/2020 13:26

alex1621..it is certain that there will be a consumer boom in 2021, after this period of being shut in, Shopping Centres, Malls and the High St will be a magnet, millions who haven't been near a shop in 9 months will feel liberated.

Just look at M&S who are near 50% up from recent 94p, that jump is on the future.

2021 will be a good year for the world.

We need a surge in ITV toward 120p, I think we will see it before the year end.

Good luck holders.

[alex1621] 24/11/2020 12:33

I'm expecting a consumer boom next year and that can only be good for ITV. Add to that the resumption of dividend payments. And given cost rationalisations and reduced net debt, the company will go into this period in much better shape, unlike some companies that have had to sell assets and increase debt. I understand why people might sell (profit take) but I think they are psychologically anchoring at the lows, and not considering how far the share price might go. It's not inconceivable that it could reach previous highs.

[nige co] 24/11/2020 12:26

I also think that it's a matter of when not if ITV receive a takeover bid. Content is king and ITV have a hell of a lot of it. I'm just surprised that no one has made a move yet. Maybe they're waiting on a Brexit trade deal, or just waiting for a start in advertising recovery before making a move. Happy to hold for the recovery in the share price.

[jacko07] 24/11/2020 12:09

I have been lucky on takeovers over the years, among my best hits were ARM, SKY, Colt Telecom, Imagination Tech and recently Cobham.

Of the companies I am long in today, I have some great UK household brands including BT, M&S and ITV. Last March just before the virus really got to us, IG ran a list of top M&A targets. These are the top 5:


Top UK takeover targets in 2020

ITV
ASOS
Whitbread
Morrisons
Burberry

I think that the list is pretty much the same for 2021. Anyone who bought any of the above in March when they reached lows, would be sitting on very healthy gains.
