fleccy. I think the problem is many vod shareholders expect the new C.E.O. to have a magic wand, & turn things around quickly, when the reality is, it is not that simple, & may take time. Whoever takes over will be paid a large salary, so unless shareholders stop demonising the B.O.D. we will get nowhere. As for your conspire theory, sounds good to me, as long it's good for the vod sp. Perhaps they have kept Read, (Advisor), but just pretended to get rid of him to placate the anti Read brigade who didn't have a clue what they were talking about.
Read stepped down over two months ago and the news has gone quiet on his replacement. Since the announcement that Read's going, E& have increased their holding from 10% to 14% and Liberty has built a holding of 4.92%, you'd think there'd be news on the CEO replacement by now.
The RNS advising that the CEO is stepping down was on the 5th December, so I assume they've been looking for a replacement for at least 3 months and Read is only acting as an advisor until the until 31st March, so you'd expect they would have found a replacement by now. I still suspect there's something else in the pipeline, like a merger with another big player; Back in December I speculated that Verizon may be in the frame and until they announce a replacement for Read, I'll be suspicious about the events around Reads rapid departure.
Mikey. You should have trusted your opinion & not bought back in. You don't seem to have a clue what to do, do you? Why don't you just give up with vodafone & do us all a favour?
'Emirates Telecom has approval to raise Vodafone stake to 15%'
1% increase circa every 2 weeks
And the usual drop on America opening . Pile of junk - should have trusted my opinion and not bought back in - oh well . BOD need sacking with Read .
Went to get broadband and phone deal failed credit test never happened to me before.
Ten days to check credit test now gone to openstream good deal.
No wonder share price crap
Emirates Telecom has approval to raise Vodafone stake to 15%
Thanks Slownsteady I'll have a look..
Hello robleo mate, yes, VOD is still a very sick dog, absolutely hopeless. I am tired and sick of the market. So, I just stopped posting for a while. I hope you are doing okay.
Hi sidi, not seen you around for a long time, did you take a long break from the stock markets?, as you can see vod has not improved think you did the right thing
Noveckingood, try Plusnet. I moved to them a year or two ago after a similarly nightmare few years with Talk talk. I have found their (UK based) customer service to be superb.
I don't know how they compare price-wise, but you'll save on the extra Bp medication!
Don't disagree fleecy but UK PLC will go down before it goes up in any meaningful way..!
People keep buying this awful share hoping to make a profit without realising that it is simply a utility share, the SP being almost entirely reliant on its dividend payout.
Now that there is growing realism that the dividend may be cut by anything up to 60% in order to reduce massive company debt & falling earnings the SP is in stagnation. As for the debt this stood at €45.5bn at the last count, and that doesn't include €12.0bn of lease liabilities.
Growth is what the markets like & Vodafone isn’t growing it’s revenue is declining quarter on quarter as it reported in its last results. Yes dividends are covered by free cash but for how long?Buy here at your peril, now shorting that’s an option.
"Shorting markets from here is the only play"
I agree if you're talking about US markets, especially the Nasdaq, but the UK market is clearly undervalued and has been for a long time. There are some indications that investment is rotating out of growth, into value dividend stocks, and It isn't like big money is going to make a rotation from Growth into value obvious, they'll do it in a carefully controlled way until it becomes obvious to the wider market. Of course this is purely speculative on my part, but growth may finally be losing its lustre.
go for it, will it buck the trend when we have the inevitable sell off after Q1 earnings ?
Shorting markets from here is the only play..
Sorry Mikeyh, you were right. Google didn't update the price on time. $12.10 was from the previous close. Lol
Still, I'm tempted to buy at this price...
this share makes me sick.
Oh well here we go again - about time the BOD sorted this company out instead of watching it drift lower . I suppose they are happy just picking up their extortionate salries and bonus schemes .
Left them 12 years ago because it couldn't function if you needed anything doing.
Came back 2 years ago and have had nothing but problems, if it works it's ok. If it doesn't they treat you with complete contempt. 6 contracts, £250 per month and they couldn't give less of a F()ck..
Call centres where they can't even speak English trying and failing miserably to deal with problems that are over 12 months old. Hours wasted, blood pressure elevated.
An opportunity to build it big and shiny but now worth a fraction of what it was and getting worse.
Completetly mismanaged, a complete car crash of a company that will continue to wither on the vine..!!

Also, the Dow Jones was closed up 40 points, not down 2%.
Vod us closed on what is 99p in real money
