'and we all know that hope is for the poor and the unemployed'
I would add, alcoholics and betting shop owners to that
Thankyou narcus. I tend to forget that some here are already in Vodafone and so get annoyed at bearish comments. I'm just looking around for some shares to buy having missed the run from the October low. Vodafone seems cheap, the only I can find, however it could be a value trap...
I just had a wee look and all he has said is that Vod is not going up as the FTSE rises but will more than likely go down when the FTSE falls. What exactly has he said that is incorrect? As per the "buy more" when it falls, averaging down continuously is gambling and is just hope and we all know that hope is for the poor and the unemployed
@robleo
It is much easier to filter out the rubbish and a55hole comments that come from guttersnipe. Look at his joining date and the number of posts and you will see he is here just to disrupt.
"Neah - that's gambling! And reminds of"
Some say all forms of investing are gambling, with many giving it the title of "Posh Bingo". Many refer to buying more, as the price drops, as averaging down. If you're sure of the company you're buying stock in. as it drops, is that a gamble in the same sense as day trading? I would say it isn't.
GutterSnipe, why don't you just put your money in a savings account then
" If it goes lower - buy more."
----------------
Neah - that's gambling! And reminds of . . .
"Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it.
If it don't go up, don't buy it".

Quote is by an American comic (Will Rogers) from the black and white movie era of the 1930's.
If it goes lower - buy more.
Recently lol
The index has recently been going up day after day recently but not taking Vodafone with it. The question is, when the nice run comes to an end as it surely will, will they rotate into Vodafone or not. If the FTSE 100 went down a lot from here would it drag Vodafone even lower?
Bought in 4 times to bring the average down and each time it drops another 3 p
Time for the institutions to have the balls to say no to the bonus structure in this company and link to share price.
No point paying a 3.8 dividend to then lose this and more as debt rises and confidence goes.
If the board were football managers they would have gone long ago
Vodafone flat as a pancake all day. Can't see how it's not more volatile including up and down price movement.
Vod lastest news , looks a better option , sitting on beach

Looking at these myself today good move i reckon as the diys will come back next year in my opinion
Fleccy, yes that's fair. Thirty things dragging the share price down and twenty nine things pulling the share price up. The next week should tell us if the market thinks twenty nine things dragging the share price down and thirty things pulling the share price up. Todays RNS says the cost of servicing debt is going down so good news especially as the dividend is being maintained. Just a waiting game...with feb/june dividend to compensate for the holding cost of invested capital. Anyways, feb div will clear my xmas credit card.
Happy Xmas all
"the hope is that this will get back to the high 130s not expecting this until sometime in the next year and of course there is a chance it will turn out to be a mistake only time will tell"
UK stocks have been battered for years, but the tide will turn at some point. Recently, I've noticed the CNBC presenters and guests discussing the value in UK stocks, so something will likely give in the next 12 months, no situation lasts forever, In the meantime, I'll keep topping up and waiting.
"It’s not just global investors who are shunning the UK
Ever since Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016, overseas investors and fund managers have had a downer on the UK.
It’s understandable. Politics is complicated enough for insiders. Outsiders don’t stand a chance. Most of the time that doesn’t really matter. Domestic politics doesn’t make big enough waves to force global investors to pay attention. Companies carry on regardless. "

"The UK stock market is cheap and looks as interesting as in 2008"

Soton, you are right this is a difficult one, although i have a high average here and made a top up last week, it is still one of the smallest shares in my portfolio, because over the last few years i have kept adding to my other shares on the lows
the hope is that this will get back to the high 130s not expecting this until sometime in the next year and of course there is a chance it will turn out to be a mistake only time will tell
best of luck
Decided to bail when I noticed Ezj at 373p Took a small loss but I am sure Ezj will make that up soon. I guess I will be back but at the moment this looking pretty stagnant.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing if i had sold all my vod shares during Trusses debacle and invested in LGEN or AV i reckon i would have made back all my losses....Said it before this stock isn't for the faint hearted......Think i'm one of the lucky ones my average is 127p (ouch) have chatted to someone on here there average was 170+.....
Reckon you sold BP at a good price. Vodafone i have no idea really where it will go. Been looking around for some shares to buy for over a month but don't see anything i fancy at the moment.
Wish i had your confidence in buying and selling...I tend to buy and hold although saying that sold a lump of BP a few weeks back happy with what i sold at even though they have gone up since another 10p or so...looking to off load some of these as well when the price goes back up was looking for 140 think i'll be waiting a while for that...
The pain continues but will it be 89p on Friday?
Trading in and out of FTSE 350 shares if anyone else wants to know. Never have done shorting.
GutterSnipe. Sorry mate, What do you mean, " I'm 6 x my original stake in 24 years" Unless you explain how you are 6 x your original stake, you make no sense. Never mind, I get the impression I might be wasting my time with you, so I will just wish you good luck, & good bye.
meshtrader. You say" the spectrum auction process is a scam,why does it only apply to telco's, why not the drug industry". I agree that spectrum charges are crazy, but to use drug companies as a comparison is way off the mark surely?. I think many sick people who rely on drugs would find an auction similar to telco's on drugs outrageous.
