Just left a couple of buy orders on at 105 and 103 respectively. As I mentioned on Monday GS are looking to help out Marshals so that will do me just fine.

Much of this is also true for ITV:

Simon Pitts, STV Chief Executive, said:

"2020 finished strongly and we expect to report an operating profit and net debt position well ahead of market expectations, underscoring the resilience of our business, the loyalty of our viewers and our strong digital growth trajectory.

We've set new viewing records on screen and online, with TV viewing up 14% and STV Player viewing up 68% in 2020.

Difficult to get too excited given only 18166 shares traded.

STV up 18.96% WOW.

STVs trading statement might be good for ITV this morning:

"STV Group plc Trading Update

2020 operating profit expected to be comfortably ahead of market expectations"

125 will do me

[netcurtains] 12/1/2021 11:47

Thanks seems to be doing the trick

Morgan Stanley upgraded ITV to 'overweight' with new price target of 125p - issued 11.01.21

Does a correction mean ITV goes up as its undervalued?
Or does a correction mean ITV goes down as investment bankers are xxxx?
;-)

Yeah shame that, was looking very strong this morning, just flittered away all afternoon. Must say there are some odd rises going on in very jam tomorrow stocks, really does feel like we're in for a correction. Just a feeling in my water.

[netcurtains] 11/1/2021 16:04

wild swing today. No idea why.

[nige co] 11/1/2021 12:34

Thanks Net, much appreciated.

Hongkong

Yes it is - it isn't very good though. Not a patch on the old series. This one is cruder,more vulgar and lacks the wit of its predecessor.

Is spitting image on Britbox?

[netcurtains] 11/1/2021 10:16

Nige Co: "firewall with times". Title "American housewives desperate for classic British TV".... Cant get a bigger "ramp" for Britbox than that!.
lol

(however, its probably not a ramp, its probably true)

[nige co] 11/1/2021 10:05

Anyone got the link to the Sunday Times Britbox article? Thanks.

[geckotheglorious] 11/1/2021 09:53

Nice slow price recovery occurred it seems.
:)

Bit further to go but surely the takeover must be imminent!
Gets more expensive by the day for any prospective buyer.

Top sliced a few this morning at a shade over £1.13p. I found it very strange that the Sunday Times had a Britbox article on its front page when the whole world is in the grips of this pandemic and there are other headline stories around the world that warrant a front page headline. Added to the fact that the Times has never said a good word about ITV in the last five years (which coincidently was when GS started shorting ITV around £2.80p). Could it be that GS are ready to take the stock down to help their mates out at Marshal Wace whom are still short at 0.6% of ITV ??

[deanowls] 11/1/2021 09:31

Thanks Mark, I had been wondering.

[marksp2011] 11/1/2021 08:36

Still holding

Happy New Year all!

Nice to see ITV's share price improving from its lows. Good news like this from last week certainly will not harm the momentum:

Warp Films’ Little Birds migrates worldwide with ITV Studios

London, 7 January 2021 – ITV Studios today announces a flurry of new deals for award-winning Warp Films’ new and provocative drama, Little Birds.



Also this on the BritBox side:

BritBox bodices ripping at record levels

Period drama viewing on the rise after Bridgerton success

LONDON, 9th January 2021: BritBox, the streaming service where the best of British creativity comes together, today reported a steady rise of viewers seeking period dramas, following the launch of Bridgerton on Christmas Day.

Todays Sunday Times (front page - main news).
Britbox doing very well in the USA - "Americans desperate for UK made TV"

[ivanborsky] 08/1/2021 16:36

Wot no Friday tree shake ????? C'mon GS you let the side down, maybe first thing Monday then ?

[nige co] 08/1/2021 08:18

Agreed Net, any interest in ITV should be acted on before too long, the longer they leave it the more expensive ITV will become with an increasing share price. Once the share price recovers to 150p you would be looking at a takeover offer of over 200p. An offer now of 160p would be a bargain, if the offer was accepted of cause.
