Shan. The accent is called cuckoo. Best flown over & ignored.
"Has Vodafone responded to the below? I believe the 5 days is up. Can’t find any information on this.
“The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on Friday gave the two companies five working days to respond with "meaningful solutions" to its concerns that the merger will result in higher prices for consumers and businesses and lower investment.”"
5 working days would mean tomorrow/Wednesday for an announcement.
I’m sorry I don’t understand the accent mate
Xxx. I think you are right & their share buys are a very good sign. Your pension dash for cash though sounds a bit supprising if you don't mind me saying so as you sound quite bullish. I would not want to be out of the U.K. stock market at the moment as I think it is catch up time. Of course I have been wrong in the past, so who knows. Have a good week.

"Surely you wouldn’t invest such large sums unless you were very confident of significant life changing gains.
I think 90-£1 achievable after a good update 14 may then upward from there. I’d be over the moon with £1-£1.30 this year plus dividends. No building society will beat those returns"
What sort of good results are expected to push the price up to those levels?
I suspect the directors will expect to see steady gains over the next few years if all goes according to plan. Certainly very unlikely to be expecting anything transformative in the next few months or even this year, otherwise the buys would look very dodgy. It's a good vote of confidence in their belief in the future direction over the coming years.
I expect the CMA to announce a phase 2 investigation into the Vodafone/3 merger this week, so wouldn't be surprised if the UK results echo those of 3 to hammer home their case for the merger and I don't see anything other than incremental changes from the last set of results in the hope that they will meet this years targets but happy to be surprised.
It will certainly be interesting to see where the remaining Vodafone Spain/Italy money is going to be spent.
Dan, I better correct that, the ongoing charge for that fund is 0.08% which is very low
Dan, Maybe it’s just me, but over the years I’ve had a better return from funds than I’ve been able to achieve from shares
If it’s of any interest to you or anyone else I have listed my funds below I use H/L website, you can check the performance charts over the last 5 years plus the ongoing charges, I choose low cost tracker funds
Charges, as you know hl are not the cheapest, there is a holding charge of 0.45% for holding funds and shares, so no difference there
Legal & general funds have very low charges, for instance
Legal & general international index fund, had accumulative growth of 85% over the last 5 years and the ongoing charges are 0.85 %
Also there are no charges for buying or selling funds with hl
As for Vodafone, I would be happy just to see it pushing towards 80p for now, let’s hope xxx is right

68.7 for me please, Roofer
Danielh, take your point but I suspect their outgoings and pension Contributions swallow up most of that. £2m in ‘cash’ is a vast amount of money to gamble in the stock market. They must be very confident of something.
We’ll see what soon
XxxAccountant. If they are on£1million, £1/2 million after tax, then as a proportion of annual income my investment in vodafone based my income of about £25k is about 4 times as much as there £1million investment. It is not that much, but a good sign of course. I am sure it is peanuts compared to the value of there house. Keep up the bullish comments though please. Good luck.
Rob. A 70% return over the last 5 years sounds good, but are you including costs? If so, you have made about 12% A.P.R. Don't forget charges//costs though. Can it be that the U.K. will overtake the rest of the world?? Catch up time?? Anyway it sounds like you have done very well, so I hope you continue to do so.
@ Roofer ....72.25 for me please, thanks.
Anegada, The reason i suggested you do a comparison for yourself is because you said you wanted a long term investment for a child, I manage my own pension in a sipp with HL, and i have 9 funds in my portfolio 8 international and one UK based, in my opinion they are generally less volatile than individual shares and in many cases can outperform ,most of my funds have returned around 70% growth in the last 5 years apart from one which has retuned 37% it's probably no surprise to most that the poorest performer is the UK fund with HL, if you want to do a comparison for yourself my two core holdings are Fundsmith and legal & general international index, but there are hundreds to choose from, keep in mind it's much easier to look up how how a fund or share has performed in the past than it is to predict how they will perform in the future, just an alternative for you to think about
best of luck
I’m with Aegon, they have a cash fund earning 0.3% interest. Appreciate it’s pathetic but don’t trust bonds. After the last two financial crisis I hadn’t realised you can lose money in bonds. That’s just a personal thing. Most financial advisors would recommend them with 5% yield I suspect. I’m taking a calculated gamble that stocks will correct or crash then I’ll be 100% back into a FTSE tracker. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to shorten my retirement target. I am 50 and hoping to retire at 57 IF, and it’s a big if, the stock market crashes and I make money on the next boom cycle.
I’m trying to be clever but could back fire.
