Episode 33: Is Easyjet a buy right now?
What is the difference between Microsoft and EasyJet? Why doesn't Paul want no scrubs? And what has George Soros been buying? Find out in this week's Playing FTSE! We start this week with a game from Steve D, as Paul and Steve W attempt to guess what superinvestors have been buying during Q2. Then it's on to a discussion of airlines. In a week where EasyJet has opted to raise cash by issuing shareholders with rights to buy an additional two thirds of their current holdings at a substantially discounted price, Paul and the Steves take a look at the company, the industry, and give their idea about where there might be an opportunity to do some buying in this sector. Lastly, it's on to the timely subject of buybacks and the news that Microsoft has joined the rest of the big tech brigade in buying back substantial quantities of shares. Find out what the boys make of this in this week's episode!
