    Some UK funds owned these shares and have lost alot of money presuming the company profits are as badly impaired as thought. Bonds > Shares
    I remember this was a Questor tip also, opps?

    Sounds like a gamble to me, why are you presuming the situation is going to be less worse.
    The company could trade for years forward and the shares would still not be worth much so long as the company only ever has enough to pay its bills. Market cap is 171m, do they have assets as well as debt

    Would 10k get me a wife or a top of the range wife (not too sure on wife prices).

    Best post ever!

    I like Questor, but this has been a disaster for them.

    Tipped as a BUY in August 2010 at 177p and re-visited as a HOLD in July 2011 at 88p

    Trading this morning at 10p.

    Oops indeed.

    Thomas Cook PLC's 5 major shareholders as of August 2011 are:

    Lloyds Banking Group - 9%
    Blackrock Inc - 4.99%
    AXA SA - 4.8%
    Massachusetts Financial Services Company - 4.65%
    Standard Life Investments - 4.14%
    There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

    Oh b*lls, thanks for that, i have some money in a Scottish Widows UT that my grandma left me, I meant to cash it in a few weeks ago and invest in something better but was too lazy. Damn my idleness.
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
