Blade, a classic case of knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. Move on please.
Bladerunner your last response is laughable and not currently shared by mainstream investors. Latest plaudits..https://www.fool.co.uk/2021/11/27/bt-shares-are-one-of-the-best-opportunities-in-the-ftse-100/
Bladerunner, are you being serious? Do you think that large institutions & Deutsche Telekom would entertain a bid of 150p per share? They will laugh them out of the building. Remember BT aren't a distressed company.
Recommended both of the last 2 posts. In my opinion it will be reduced to about £1, Drahi will buy more and then rescue it with a massive 50% above the future price. Private investors will be forced to sell at something like 150p to a foreigner. I genuinely wish you well.
Bladerunneruk......... "What you don’t appear to understand is that the future of this share is not based on you and me agreeing that they can charge other companies for using their services. Instead it’s about what is and isn’t in vogue. Sadly for you BT isn’t. I’m advising you of other companies that I think are about to be popular."
BT maybe out of favour at the moment, but by year end of 2026 when BT have completed FTTP, BT will be a different beast throwing off great profits/dividends. Thanks for your concern Bladerunner, but I'm sure most on this thread have a far better understanding of BT than yourself. If BT aren't taken over I have no plans to sell my BT holding, I will still be here on this thread in 2026. So pop back in 2026 and I'm sure we can carry this conversation on further with a share price at least £3 per share.
However name me another industry as highly regulated as telecommunications has been and in particular the restraints put on only one company who had to have its prices maintained at higher prices across all its products and watch as government after government oversaw the introduction of foreign subsidised competition that could also offer TV as well as a phone line who were then pretty much unregulated for years whilst BTs hands were tied.
Yeah thought so, no other industry.
It’s only in the last decade that OFCOM have allowed BT to compete on pricing and also be able to offer TV.
Guess who took on thousands of redundant service personnel during the crash in 2008? Yeah while the whole of the world was crashing under financial crises, good old BT bucked the trend and increased its CAPEX to install FTTC across the nation.
Now during the pandemic, one company strode on with no furlough and actually again increased CAPEX, employed thousands more to install the FTTP network. Once completed BT will be a much leaner and profitable company with dividends that will be eye watering.
Oh and yeah 30 years ago… if only the Thatcher government had given BT the license to FTTP the nation that it requested back then, imagine the SP now. No doubt the backhanders and directorships of Cable companies were too tempting to make a decision to have the best comms network in the world fit for then and now and the future.
South Korea were held in past arguments in Parliament, the News, Question Time etc about their incredible broadband compared to BT well guess what, when BT were refused the fibre licence (and the Tory government actually then invented a fibre tax to dis-incentivise fibre development by the way) all the R and D all the tooling all the equipment that BT had ready to go, South Korea couldn’t believe their luck and our governments stupidity or greed for back handers and bought the whole kit and caboodle for themselves.
It’s easy to kick BT, it’s a big target often with faux pas made by its own board like 3G licenses, selling O2 too cheaply, but much dither and delay has been foisted upon BT but now there seems like an easing of regulations to allow Openreach to build the FTTP network and for BT to recoup their outlay in the next 10 years.
I probably won’t be around to see it, but if there is no meddling from loan shark takeover muppets like Drahi and just let BT get on with it then huge dividends await us not the likes of hedge funds and loan junkies who will bleed us and the company dry and then move on to other poor souls that they wish to feed off.
The sp was above the current value in 1989, over 30 years ago. I agree with nearly all your comments about the technology and infrastructure. My degree is in electronics, specialising In telecommunications. What you don’t appear to understand is that the future of this share is not based on you and me agreeing that they can charge other companies for using their services. Instead it’s about what is and isn’t in vogue. Sadly for you BT isn’t. I’m advising you of other companies that I think are about to be popular.
Good luck with your investments.
Best thing is OFCOM agree lol theyre not interested in altnets arguments and gripes haha for once… Full steam ahead the ultimate net isn’t alt its the good old much maligned daddy of em all…. BT!! Shove that in yer pipe and choke on it..
Fecking tosspot lol charging to push investors to STAR lol ffs get a grip. At least if they’d listened to me for 3 weeks they’d all be up 50% with BEN… plus advising to keep BT not sell…
BT are on the cusp of transformative changes that will give investors fantastic returns as BT switches to full digital FTTP networks thrashing costs on exchanges and affiliate costs running a metallic network then recovery of that network it’s in the tens of billions if not hundreds. Throw in the added revenue that every other FTTP provider will be paying BT rent to use their network ( revenue they have never had or accounted for previously) it’s astounding the future figures and profit at BT is mind blowing.
How do your trackers and stuff get their signals from one device to another lol … hmmmm
And when someone mentions boomer haha , you probably don’t realise but most if not all comms and signalling protocols are invented or refined by BT at their R and D labs ffs take my advice you idiot do some deep research on BT and it’s past present and future technologies, you haven’t got a clue…
Lol you fecking idiot pish off…..
Here are some suggestions for making a profit…..
CMCX - can’t say I’m a big fan of a Tory profiting, however share trading is sure to increase in my opinion
STARCOM, soon to be renamed TRAC. This is the next big thing. Containers getting lost or broken into, This company has an electronic device that tracks location, monitors temperature, checks security. Small outfit? No, Pepsi cola is one of there customers and they are looking to seal big orders, including the multi billion dollar company DHL.
BT share holders, will you increase your investments by following my advice? Maybe I’ll be charging money for advice like this in the future.
