Mandy- "Never mind, you lot will soon be focusing on keeping BT British."
Yes thats because we are not fifth columnists like you.
And our share average is not £5
Stop moaning , grow a pair and start supporting the BT employees that you invested all your money in at £5 a share
I have no sympathy for fools like you
Careful Bertie, you are developing a sense of humour :)
" And if the class action goes against BT. Well, that's yet another drama"
Well Mands it will be a good opportunity to top up , see ya. 8-))
Porcshe pray tell how is your Aviva prediction coming on? I wont hold my breath lol
How's your Aviva prediction doing Pork......kn0bhead
See you're all wallowing in the thought of dividend reinvestment (i.e. the law of diminishing returns) and ready to put even more money in as the price of BT shares drops even further. It will do exactly that without a bid. And if the class action goes against BT. Well, that's yet another drama. Strange no one has any views on that. Never mind, you lot will soon be focusing on keeping BT British.
Got money ready for 94p , if this happens more dividends to invest.
Next stop for this dogshyt is .94
Chunky buys for my chunky thighs
You will need to make sure that you do not exceed your CGT allowance for the year.
Chunky buys at 105p.
@IP3LY, you bed and ISA them (sell and repurchase), sell them from a trading account, transfer the cash into your ISA and repurchse the shares. You normally get less than you sold.
There's a Federal Reserve meeting this week, interest rates are unlikely to be cut, although if they are looking at cuts in June it should help. BT's likely return probably isn't high enough relative to justify the risk relative to gilts atm.
The fine is peanuts
Surely that is not causing such a drop in sp?
It was the system Clued. I typed in my usual provocative way and it came out different. Gremlins!
Pokerchips, surely normal practice is to then sue one's sub-contractor after such a fine, though small but even for Goodwill reasons ?
" BT has pleaded guilty to 7 offences relating to unsafe implementation of traffic management measures in a prosecution. "
A maverick sub-contractor that unsurprisingly got dropped... real cowboys by the looks of things

Its got to be the Call case judgment. Looking at the SP so far its not looking positive.
Mandysrevenge, interesting perspective. By the way, noticed your full post has only lower case letters (even names!!), and presumably you do realise that there is a Capital letter option for people's names and start of sentences which make a post easier to read ?
Yea Pennylots, why doesn't BT simply give rural communities the choice like most other prods and servs ? Obviously have it formally contracted, to cover them, but let them decide and the Regulator would then 'have to' agree surely !!
Southpotski they even shut the Mc Donald's . It ls a shame after all the investment they put in back in the 2000s .
@Scallywag3: How do you transfer Shares from an ordinary account to a ISA account? Do you have to sell them first and then buy back into an ISA? If so, does that trigger tax CGT or a loss that you can use? Or is there another way without incurring any tax liabilities?
End of year CGT. some will take advantage of thier allowance ( the few in profit for this year) using up their allowance in cash
And then there is Selling to take advantage of the CGT Loss for the year, of which there is no limit to the amount or the duration that can be carried over to future years.
(Two reasons to sell up before the end of the tax year.) unlikely the SP will rise before April 6th.
This actually suits me for the moment as I have tens of thousands of BT shares in an ordinary account, the lower the sp the more I can transfer into tthe ISA next year.
Southport isn't a rural area, I wouldn't describe it as a resort either. You need a camel to reach the sea from the beach, the pier is currently closed for structural repairs and Pleasureland is closed out of season throughout the winter period.
Maybe it's a reaction to the news item about protestors in rural areas blocking Open Reach from installing telegraph poles for their cables. That would be rural areas where it is too expensive to install underground cables. Took half a day to make an installation that would normally take 20 min (according to the news item). These protesters would be the same type of people who complain about the poor broadband service that rural areas get compared with urban areas. These rural installations will probably never justify the cost. So if were down to me I would try to explain that to the protesters, but if they prefer WFH without decent broadband tell them to go fish.
