Question to BA shareholders,

You have known for years the company is a dog, why didn't you sell your shares ?

You might work for BA but an emotional attachment to a company means you should NEVER consider investing in it. It almost always leads to bad investment decisions.

There are thousands of companies listed on the London exchange, I would advise looking elsewhere.

As the legendary investor Warren Buffet has said: a lot of investers would be a lot better off if the Wright brothers had never left the ground!

Regarding Ryanair: a company must be UK domiciled to be included in the FTSE 100. I believe this is not the case with Ryanair and O'Leary knows it. He is not stupid. It was a silly PR stunt.
