"If the board were football managers, they would have gone long ago" Of course they would. Obviously many on here know a lot more about football, than running vodafone. I would stick to football if I were you, & leave running vodafone to others.
Hello Mikey. Thank you for that amazing in depth analysis. What would we do without you? Have you ever thought of going professional?
Looks like a usual day today Dan - up most the day then the usual decline into the red to finish the day .
Pfen. If you have such a low opinion of the vodafone management, the question you should ask yourself is, why have you bought in 4 times to lower your average? I of course could give you the answer to that question, but I am trying not to insult anybody today, so I will just wish you good luck instead.
"When tide goes out you can see whos not wearing a bathing costume"
Lets hope it doesn't apply to Vodafone
And if you don't possess the ability to be regarded as one of the best genius investor's that has ever lived, like Warren Buffett, but are a mere mortal average Joe, investor - then yet another quote runs:
----
" The easiest, way to make money is to hold stocks in bull market uptrends.
- The easiest way to lose money is to hold stocks through bear markets".
However when I mess up even that, my fall back position is this:
"The best way to double your money is to fold it in two and put it in your back pocket"
??
It was actually in reply to a post on averaging down.
The most important part.
It’s even repeated twice is do your homework.
I’ve never said if Vodafone was a buy or sell, but people do continue to buy at this price.
unfortunately Buffert doesn;t buy a crop of crap run by a been counter who is out of his depth and has lost about 50billion of market cap
Warren Buffet quote
If you liked it enough to buy it before sp dropped and you did your homework.
You must like it even better now it has dropped.
Worked well for him.
Stock market definitely a gamble.
But the more homework you do the luckier you get
If the FTSE 100 goes down after a nice run will they move into unwanted Vodafone and BT or will they both get dragged lower along with everything else? That is the question of the day.
I don't care one bit if Evanescent has filtered me, maybe he's got heavy losses on Vodafone.
For me I'm wondering whether to buy Vodafone or not...
"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? " In his opinion
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but the disclaimer, "Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results", works both ways. Just because Vodafone, and Telecom stocks in general, have been locked into a downtrend doesn't mean that'll persist forever. Common sense suggests that the lower a safe stock drops, the more resistance to further price declines. Since no one's saying Vodafone's at risk of going bust, there must be a finite price per share in the absence of bad news, does GutterSnipe have insider knowledge backing up his opinion that Vodafone will continually drop ad ininitum?
As per the "buy more" when it falls, averaging down continuously is gambling" In your opinion
Not necessarily, averaging down is a well known and used investment strategy. Obviously investing in a company spiraling into bankruptcy, is gambling on a meme stock type event, as happened with Gamestop, but averaging down in a stock you confidently believe is undervalued isn't, in my opinion.
'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
