Yep.... it's a bear trap. A good long at 2300 or below.

[mickconn11] 28/8/2008 20:11

Massive buy order in the London auction this evening and in New York the price is surprisingly still toying with the 2300 level.

Looks like a nice little game in play to me.

game on.

just watching for now.

[mickconn11] 27/8/2008 20:20

... forgot to mention..

it looks like the bears will soon make a serious attack on the 2300 level in New York.

And then we're in the funny zone.

Evening.

'' the safety procedures worked''

... well we're still none the wiser why it happened in the first place.

A dramatic incident with injuries and no real statement from Boeing or Ryanair.

Their quick with an RNS when they want to have a pop at someone.

The chart is having a look at 250 again and again and again.

I'm going quick longs in the low 250s and short when it gets to 260 but I fear 250 will be blasted away pretty soon.

If it goes..... fasten seat belts and hope the oxygen drops.

Good luck all.

26 hospitalised after Ryanair flight makes emergency landing




LIMOGES, France (Thomson Financial) - Twenty-six people were hospitalised
after a Ryanair aircraft en route from Britain to Spain made an unscheduled
landing in France following a loss of cabin pressure, emergency workers said
Tuesday.
The plane landed at Limoges International Airport on Monday around 11:30 pm
(2130 GMT) as a "safety precaution", Ryanair said, adding the passengers were
hospitalised for ear problems.
The Boeing 737 was flying to Barcelona-Girona airport in Spain from the
southwestern British city of Bristol, when a brutal depressurisation forced the
aircraft to descend 8,000 metres in five minutes, police said.
Terrified passengers told how they had feared for their lives as the
aircraft plummeted and oxygen masks dropped down.
Of the 168 passengers and seven crew, 26 were hospitalised with minor
eardrum problems, emergency workers said.
An initial inspection of the plane did reveal any causes for the
depressurisation, police said.
Ryanair dispatched another aircraft to Limoges, which departed at 3:30 am
with 127 people who wished to immediately continue their journey. The remaining
passengers were expected to continue on to Girona later on Tuesday.

Has to be positive going forward into 2009 & 2010. They should be able to hedge at significantly lower prices given their large cash reserves.

[weemonkey] 15/8/2008 11:25

have not this mob now got their hedge the wrong side of the oil price

We have taken advantage of the recent weakness in oil prices and are now hedged 90% for September at $129 per barrel, 80% for Q3 at $124

crude is now $115

The last 5 months on the graph look like PIO - it'll make contact with the ground soon! (or pull the wings off).

[bmw30csl] 10/8/2008 12:57

good short here.

[keelingr] 08/8/2008 21:43

oil down to $115....going back over €3 on monday...

[lbo] 07/8/2008 12:27

No problem Djderry. I genuinely do feel sorry for Cat. I came accross cat many times on advfn and found his posts a nice contribution on advfn and to see someone like that take such a hit is not nice.

Anyway I just saw O'leary gave an interview on CNBC saying the era of low cost travel was over!

[djderry] 06/8/2008 22:49

LBO,I've just been on the Elan BB where I saw that you expressed your sympathy to Cat on the day of his/her 'life-changing' losses.I have obviously misinterpreted your 'poor old cat' remarks.I wish to withdraw my remarks in post 281 and apologise to you for same.

LONDON, Aug 04, 2008


Credit Suisse has downgraded Ryanair Holdings to 'underperform' from 'neutral' and cut easyJet Plc. to 'neutral' from 'outperform' in a sector review, market sources said.

In a note published this morning, Credit Suisse said it has become increasingly clear that current consumer downturn is likely to be a prolonged one.

The broker added that it is now forecasting full-year losses at earnings per share level for easyJet for September 2009 and Ryanair for March 2009.

Credit Suisse said that this reflects our assumption of lower average fares this winter.

The broker added that Ryanair's target price has been cut with a price target cut to 2.10 euros from 2.2 euros due to a higher net debt estimate

[djderry] 05/8/2008 22:35

LBO,your comments regarding Cat100 are pathetic.If he has suffered 'a life changing effect',then anyone with a shred of decency would show some compassion.I was going to write 'empathise' but that would be expecting too much.I wish Cat well as I do all investors.If anything can be learned from his awful experience,it is that one should never invest more than one would,in the worst-case scenario,be willing to loose.As a successful investor put it,if you keep betting the house,then one day you will loose it.Continue on with your negative postings on this and other BBs.I learned long ago that what goes around comes around.

BAA takes legal action against Ryanair

BAA, the airports operator, has started legal action against Ryanair after the budget carrier refused to pay higher landing fees.

Ryanair said in April that it would not accept a 7 per cent increase in landing charges at Stansted. The airline asserts that the charges that Stansted imposes on each of its passengers has doubled to £10 in the past two years.

Ryanair has continued to pay BAA the previous fee and has put the difference into an escrow account while it challenges the increase. The airline has appealed to the Competition Commission to block the rise, which was sanctioned by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This year the CAA allowed BAA to put up its charges at Heathrow and Gatwick. Over the next five years the landing fee will increase by 86 per cent at Heathrow and by 49 per cent at Gatwick.

Poor old cat! Got badly burned on Elan

cat100 - 9 Jul'08 - 12:13 - 374 of 451

I think I'll wait a while before I start buying. I'd like to see a defo stop to this fall. I don't mind losing 20% of the up side, when it is well on the road to recovery then I'll be buying like a good thing. We need a catalyst to turn things around and I think it will come with the fall in oil. I have picked up a few airline stocks but nothing major. BA, Ryanair and Easyjet. I have a do or die stake in Elan worth $2m and hoping that pays off in a couple of weeks. If the news is as I think it will be I may never sell the stock. I am up around $750k on that trade which is starting to look like an investment of a lifetime. Next portfolio I build will prob focus on divi paying stocks. I need to be able to sit back a bit


cat100 - 1 Aug'08 - 16:21 - 8575 of 8580


That's it I'm out. My losses are very heavy. I spent to many years in Elan for this to happen. Little did I realize the life changing effect this share would have on me and my family . I wish you all the best of luck in the future with your investments I won't be posting here nor on IV. I have made many friends along the way. This has drained me to say the least

[biglosses] 01/8/2008 12:00

Have just tried booking a flight in their website - its painfully slow to the point of being unusable. Bit of a disgrace really!

[kbass] 01/8/2008 00:16

They do have 3.8bn of liabilitie - not "debt" - and 6.2bn of assets. Short term creditors, included in the 3.8bn, total 1.5bn and they have 1.8bn of cash/securities.

[jamesclives] 31/7/2008 21:36

well, they wont survive unless they sought out there website ! LOL !
