I started buying them at $6 and haven't sold any. Graham, I don't know you, but I love you. :)

Seriously, does anyone know where I can buy a white Flight Centre T-Shirt?

no doubt the doom slayers will come once again sometimes in the future and arm with knowledge few acquires you load up and profit :)

There are rock solid business around that are cripple by fears and uncertainty again arm with knowledge few acquires I go on to accumulate :) and wait for the fear to be disproved by the financial statement..

and we all love our margin of safety uncle, they are the shaolin kung-fu of this world lot people talk about, very few go through the practice and the training required to be the master of that arts.

I have a Flight Centre t-shirt from when my partner used to work for them. Still holding a free carried parcel. Hopefully this latest ann means a div coming up
 
Re: FLT - Flight Centre

All I can say is I love this stock!!!!!!!

You can always say you wished buying more but 'how many yachts do you need to jetski behind......'

The 'margin of safety' has been used up at current valuations but who cares......there will probably still be one more profit upgrade before end of fiscal........and with ongoing Aussie economy headwinds and rest of world coming back 'online'.....

Who's to say 2011 will not be a record FLT profit

I'm getting feeling this profit season will be one to saviour!:):)
 
Re: FLT - Flight Centre

seems to be following an Elliot Wave pattern. I am a noob at this, but this was the closet textbook EW pattern I have come across.

Re: FLT - Flight Centre

What is an Elliot Wave Pattern? Is this a good sign or a bad sign? Sorry to ask but have no idea about charting.

Elliot Wave theory is based on swings in "mass pyschology".

I know very little about it but would have thought that the time scale in the FLT chart was too short for EW's to be valid.

Happy to be educated in this.

;)
 
Re: FLT - Flight Centre

My understanding of EW is from Nick Radge's book Adaptive Analysis. He mentions EW are like fractal patterns, smaller EWs are found in bigger EWs.

As you have stated this time frame is short, and so implications for pattern are relatively short.

Re: FLT - Flight Centre

Flight Centre acquiring a UK based business focusing on thsoe taking years off to travel etc (mainly students between high school and uni). Shows they are willing to move into the online domain, but is it a move away from their core business?
 
Re: FLT - Flight Centre

Just bought shares in Flight Centre. One of my first ever trades (not real money... yet).

Hopefully it was a good decision :)
 
Re: FLT - Flight Centre

The price for FLT is looking very attractive to me at the moment. The only thing making me hesitate is the online part of the business, FLT has a conflict between the high street stores (and staff incentives) and pushing their online sales IMO. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I'm not sure that "attractive" is the word I'd use. Don't forget that FLT's SP briefly hit around $4 a little less than 3 years ago!

Personally, I'd be waiting for the current downtrend to reverse.

:cool:

I agree, I am not looking to buy at the moment but would like to understand the business better when/if my any opportunity presents.
 
Re: FLT - Flight Centre
