"Markets usually look 6 - 9 months ahead"

If anyone thinks they can see what the UK and world economy will look like in 6-9 months' time, good luck to them!

Questor: Whitbread has the firepower to see it through Covid-19 and its valuation is appealing

Questor share tip: this column distrusts the stock market bounce, so we’ll look for firms that can prosper when the recovery comes

Markets usually look 6 - 9 months ahead, bought recently and am happy to hold.

Got that one wrong

[porsche1945] 06/4/2020 09:45

This is looking like a pretty obvious sell in my opinion.

Interesting times indeed. Good Marketing ploy with the NHS key worker room offers to take up spare capacity. I wonder if they have the same offer in Germany? The $54M Qu when will markets pick up globally? June may well be far too early for the U.K. but no one knows. China are claiming that they've stopped the stem flow of cases so I guess there first & S.Korea but I can see the U.S. & Europe taking much longer.

Any idea what the saving on one year business rates break will be for WTB?

Lol rip AirBnB then !

Whitbread will merge with Mitchell & Butler !

I say unpresidented, that's post WW2. I assume hotels may have been requisitioned then.

[essentialinvestor] 15/3/2020 15:36

This is unpresidented, we are in a place beyond even guessestimates.

[bountyhunter] 15/3/2020 15:34

But will the NHS pay that rate?

[chinahere] 13/3/2020 17:27

I see Premier Inn are now selling rooms at £25 each.

Sensible and tempting!

[my retirement fund] 12/3/2020 19:42

This is looking like a pretty obvious buy imo

[porsche1945] 12/3/2020 16:24

I think they will! Wow, like 2008 or day after brexit fiasco vote. Will pass, I guess markets will start to recover from june, can see this at 22 by then, empty hotels, zero income. Weird how management always manage to do buybacks at the worst, the very worst, possible time. Should have returned the dosh to shareholders who had more common sense with what to do with it. Whole virus thing madly overblown, juiced by an idiot president and too much social media.

[badtime] 12/3/2020 09:58

NeStly down to that £27 buy price ..I wonder if they will look lower than that

[essentialinvestor] 12/3/2020 08:54

Very good call on the share price and agree on the buy back as previously mentioned.

[porsche1945] 11/3/2020 10:16

Well I called the 3200 bang on, weeks from the bottom for travel related stocks, next leg down to 2700, thats where I will buy a few. If only management had kept the powder dry with some of the costa cash, the buyback was and is a disaster.
