What a thing to bet on, peoples livelyhoods and means of income.
Saying that though if the awful thing happened and Monarch did go bust I wouldn't complain of never having to hear 'we're going to benidormmmm'.

At 11/1, that's almost worth a punt. Maybe even Air Force One at 1000/1 might be worth a few quid [;)]

Blimey. Monarch / Cosmos / Globus have been around forever.

As a shareholder it's an interesting way to hedge bets!

The BA stock isn't doing too badly to be honest, but then I did buy in at 1.10... I can't see them going under to be honest...

You did really well to get them at 110.[y]
My original holding was making a loss but bought enough at 135 then sold at 231 to make my original stock a freebie![:D]
WW seems to have the guts to take on the nuts in BASSA.
If he wins big-time, we should see double the current 180 and most BA staff will be much more secure in their jobs, but it is a risky strategy: it may well be greater than an 1/11 risk!
