Thomas Cook in trouble

14p now.

Won't be that at 4 o clock. Yesterday it hit 10.7 at 4 having been 12.8 most of the day.

You'll be brave to hold over night, even braver(or stupid) to hold over the weekend.

Lloyds(one of the backing banks) reduced their stake from 79m shares to 40m shares. Not a vote of confidence.

Well I know the managing director of XXXX bank on London Wall who's going to pretty much have the final say on refinancing...I wish they'd tell me the final result cos I'm holding loads!

10.76pps

Is it really worth a punt of a couple of grand?

[TimberWolf]

And finishes at 16p, so yes it would appear it was worth a punt. If I had bought though it would have been 5p

Seems to be climbing pretty rapidly too (although I am still 15 minutes behind).

It was more of a purchase than a merger - and no from what I know it was not a good buy at all.

Oh and also head of coop group got a non exec board position Link

hmmmmmm

Thomas Cook Group plc announces that Peter Marks, Group Chief Executive, The Co-operative Group, will join the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 1 October 2011, the date of completion of the UK retail joint venture with The Co-operative Group.

Just in time for a last go at the trough?

1st October eh? That didn't take long.

What is it now? I made a fortune in pretend money.

20.4

What is it now? I made a fortune in pretend money.

This is my second killing with pretend money. The first time I was drawn to a mining co trading at 0.75pps. I struggled with my desire to give it a go, right up to the point where the share price was 16.5pps.

Hit 23, then dropped back to 21.

So last week I piled into RRL on the rise only to watch it drop back 30 seconds later. Sitting on a loss of £3k on that.

Took a quote at 10.7 on TCG for £2k to buy a few mornings ago. Paused for a minute, then hovered over £2k at 11 but decided that it was probably going to drop back the second I bought it.

All in all, a tulipe trading week for MF.
