Looks like J P Morgan Cazenove are going to reach their target while others in the pockets of shorters have egg on their faces

"Hi, Stu,
Interesting comment on this positive day.....
You don't by any chance work for one of the shorters do you?"
No, i am an investor with a £2 average and was happy with the rise yesteeday. But wondering why the supposely 8 week court case that started 1st of feb has not been mentioned as the outcome matters. If bt wins then im hoping £1.50+ is coming
My prediction of £1.27 underestimated the response Alison’s venom towards the shorters but she did as I quipped certainly ‘shoot the shorters’ .
Interesting few days ahead as the market continues to react - the brokers revise their positions and outlooks and of course the shorters scramble to close their open positions .

Phatz I always knew I was special and you calling me the messiah has just confirmed it for me. Thank you my loyal comrade!
Hear Hear Fleccy! Work and Succeed in Silence ^__^
Those who laughed will come back in 2026 onwards and ask you how you did it….and say ‘oh he was lucky’
GL & ATB to those who held/holding on.

''funny how the market only now wakes up to it when it's been obvious to anyone following the company reports since then''
correct - that is why I had filled my boots over the last several years - hopefully in the future we can get a lot closer to the £5 figure that I made a sale at on 26th November 2015 - what goes down can go back up.
Thankyou Messiah
where you lead , we will follow
This time next year , we will all be ...............

Karen Egan, head of telecoms at Enders Analysis, said the decision to increase the dividend and clearly define cash flow expectations helped to “shore up confidence” in the cash flow recovery and “assuage the doubters”.
As Fleccy said and me earlier .. market now has confidence in what we already believed.
The costs of rolling out full fibre and 5G have more or less peak now, so that is good news for future cash flow. The company will be a much better position now going forward.
Fleccy we know you knew . We do too, and we have been listening to you on repeat for years 🤣.
We just thought you might want a victory lap before you reboard the gravy train to gravy town. Where Mandy has no ticket!
Why would I need to comment, haven't I been saying that BT is an undervalued cost cutting play for years? Everything I'm reading in online articles today is only what I've been saying since 2020, funny how the market only now wakes up to it when it's been obvious to anyone following the company reports since then.
Holy Moly , what the hell just happened. A week ago the SP stood at £1.06. And the shorters were killing us. Who would have thought Allisons hobby was ball busting shorters. God bless her , at last we have a proper leader and not an over promoted accountant (Jansen.) Surprised the Messiah (fleccy) hasn't commented on this extraordinary day. Let us see what tomorrow brings.

Any mention about the court case outcome an possible cost
If the Altnets think BT won’t build over areas the Altnets got to first they are in for a shock. Obviously BT will prioritise virgin territory first but when they run out of it, they will start overbuilding other companies fibre. The main reason they will do this is (I was a BT planner for 20 odd years) they need a certain number of engineers in every patch to cover periods of high maintenance, storms, cables being dug up by mistake etc, in quiet times these spare engineers will be put on network build, otherwise they would just be sitting on their hands. BT have to pay them whatever so they may as well be putting fibre in, BT won’t stop until they have a presence in every street in the UK. They have decades to get the money back, not sure the Altnets will still be around then.
Polo tang sounds like he could be the former employee of gok wan. A fashion assistant , probably sacked for stealing the models under garments.
No doubt Polo Tang will have something equally negative to say
Russ moulds a bitter wancer
This is the guy who did the doom laden video that was passed around last week.
Seems to have changed his views a little.
"When a share price is trading no higher than it did in 1984, it is fair to say that expectations are very low, and BT's new boss Allison Kirkby is doing a fine job of skipping over a low bar with her first set of full-year results in charge," AJ Bell analyst Russ Mould commented
What a great recovery for BT and Vodafone,
Did not expect , it could 18% in one day.
Happy days
