    Yeah, the CBI will be recommending to the government that they be bailed out by the idle good for nothing tax payer.

      Was watching Channel 4 news on this. Apparently they have over £1B of debt! eek for a company worth little more than £100m.

      The CEO also refused to take a pay cut.

      And I do travel with them. Last two holidays were with TC.

        I do get the feeling that every person that has the power to do so is filling their boots whilst they still can.

        Doomed etc.

          Who's going to take a punt on 10p Thomas Cook shares? Last year they were £2.70. Worth a gamble for those of you that play the lottery etc?

            I was thinking at 10p they could be worth a shot, but it would be a pure gamble.

            Didn't TC merge with coop travel ?

I change my holiday money in the post office now anyway.
              Plans to close 200 shops.

              I've got TCG on my monitor at the moment. Just had a buy order in place for £2k at 10.8 (8.15). Decided not to buy as it does not seem to be dead cat bouncing(which is what you expect)

              8.23 Now 13.03 on the buy.

              What do I know.

                  Where are you tracking it? Not that I'm in the market except for curiosity.

                    I have a free live share monitor that updates in realtime. Not sure if they still do it free for noobs though as I signed up years ago.
