Daniel, it's a Warren Buffett quote. When the tide goes out you see whos not wearing a bathing suit. Something like the sub prime crisis and dodgy banks is what he means. Or any other financial disaster.
GutterSnipe. You have got a bit of a thing about me not wearing a bathing suite haven't you? Would you like me to send you some photos?
Blahs to buy Vodafone
'Salvato leads M&A and other business development activities at Liberty Global, a company involved in a massive transaction with Vodafone for various European assets which completed in 2019.
The executive is also on the board of Vodafone UK rival Virgin Media O2, an operation jointly owned by Liberty Global and Telefonica.'

& A Happy Christmas to you too Gary!
danielh the “keyboard warrior”- You should stop investing as you obviously aren’t any good at it. We all can see that you have lost a lot of money here & that’s what’s making you all bitter & twisted, hence your childish, pathetic, ignorant attitude on this open forum. Leave investing to the grown ups who know what they are doing Danny Boy. It’s quite apparent to all that your inferiority complex is entirely justified.
Sorry, typo....
87.87 lol
67.67 for me please Roofer
When the tide goes out we'll see Daniel is not wearing a bathing suit
Gary59. My post was to Velo. not you. I am sure he can defend himself. So why do you have to come up with a tedious, insulting comment about me. You have a serious split personality problem, Only the other day you said you miss my posts? you need to see your doctor about your medication. I just don't think going on about Warren Buffet is very helpful , or intelligent, that's all, & am sure Velo is man enough to take that on board, & reply to me himself if he wants to without your pompous comments. Happy Christmas.
71p again for me.
All prophecies noted
Robleo , 2023 drink...lets make it a double for Vod Sp
Atb
86.5 for me please roofer, and i will have a drink to a good 2023, end of Putin's war. reduce inflation, stock market rally, and hopefully see vod climbing those ladders again, must think positive, but most of all good health
Thank you for that Roofer. Appreciated.
Well I'm going for a bearish week up to Friday and a bullish week commencing straight after Christmas, which I hope will run on into the first week of January.
- so for this week, would you please enter me for * 81.8 * thanks Roofer.
Depends if there is a takeover bid. Got to be coming at this price. They keep buying their shares back so they have ammunition to stop one however the change at the top could mean a change of direction.
So ÂŁ1.20
85.90 for me please
Vod Closing Sp 23rd Dec
Roofer 85.92p
List so far
Velo , many thanks for your in depth reply , covering different angles, nearly a full trading week ahead

Trained in investment banking and consulting at Bain and with Liberty deal background could hit the ground running I imagine.
Can only speculate what deals he would do. Will depend on the running it past the institutional shareholders I suspect
Had a bad day danielh?
Your posts are becoming more and more tedious and insulting, I suggest you take a leaf out of one of your recent posts and if you haven’t got anything worthwhile to post, just stay silent.
Happy Christmas.
Velo. You haven't got a clue, any more than the rest of us. Hence your clueless Warren Buffet quotes. Any idiot can bang on about Warren Buffet. Please stop coming up with algo, Warren Buffet bull****. As for re inventing the wheel, just stick to the greatest invention of all time, the wheel . One day you will become an intelligent adult? Good luck with that!!
Thanks for that link Roofer.
I think most in the link you have to pay for.
The subscription packages I subscribe to, use algo's in presenting the data they offer, and the charting software has it's own coding available for subscribers to set themselves. I usually take their presets and adjust the bits I need, occasionally, but no don't have much experience of them personally. Don't worry about them either.
Have you ever heard of Jim SImmonds? - former maths professor (think he worked for the CIA at one point) who has made billions derived from his algo's etc and computerised trading he devised. They call him "the man who cracked the stock market code". Articles claim he is more successful and wealthier than Warren Buffett and it is HE who is the world's most successful investor/trader. All from algo's and computerised trading. (He employed graduate scientists)
Rather than reinvent the wheel I ride on the back of the stock market trends already in play. You could say it's like being a parasite. Doesn't matter to me who is moving the market, if they make a stock retrace and it becomes significant then I don't fight it. Either short it or go to cash. And go long if a stock is in a bull run.
I'm pretty much settled in my methods these days, so I refine and refine around my core beliefs/principle which is - trend following. So computerised trading is no use to me now I have 'my system' in place. The weak link in the whole process is my self discipline something that would thankfully dissappear if handed over to automated ago's.
And if all those who fear that computerised trading has taken over - don't fear them - join them if you can't beat them If a stock is falling like a mad dog over a long term period - join in and short or go to cash. Why fight them by buying at guessed floors? Wait until the trend turns to the upside. And that's where I have (or think I have) a variety of differing trend periods, to see if it's to be short-lived or passes through each trend to the next stage up, until it becomes the prized/feared long term trend. Too much pressure/greed to get in at the exact bottom or exit at the very top. Most guru's say the exact same thing in the books: they never made their fortunes by buying at the exact bottom or selling at the exact top. The opposite of what we PI's engage in :)
For instance, Warren Buffett buys are often reported in the media.
99/100 times I can clearly see the trend has already changed in his favour, when he makes his move. Maybe it changed after he buys. Who cares? Up is up whoever starts the ball rolling. So much for buying when others are fearful. SP trends change at extremes of sentiment.
Interesting though.
There's a UK guy Tradeinformed? (Mark Ursell? ) not automated algo's etc., who charges only ÂŁ20 for your own back testing via spreadsheets but that means you have to mess about with stockmarket data downloads from Google etc.,
Velo...link , interesting ive never bothered betting on horses, was wondering with all these books you read do you have any thoughts or experience on AI bots been used now which dominates trading scene now
