"“We have lent a huge amount of money to the U.S. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I am definitely a little worried.” "


Chinese premier Wen Jiabao 12th March 2009

ITV's Love Boat sinks ... sun rises in East ?

Our friend Dunwerkin tells us that ITV purchased another 5 Mn. shares in a buy back today which brings the total to some 36 Mn in the last 2 weeks or about 1% of equity - paying 104 pence for shares they originally sold for 146 pence.

Consequently the share price has been holding up 104/105p whilst this has been going on ... signalling that some hefty share holders have decided that there is little prospect of any sale at a premium or any chance of improved trading within the forseeable future.

Unless of course the totally baseless rumours that Eastern European interests offering US$5.5Bn (or even less) are being held at bay....
