History has been re-written many times...but will it matter
"Vodafone til i die"
will be very interesting to see which way it goes Mikey, if i do buy more i may be able to double my number of shares and only paying half the price i paid for my previous ones, still not really sure if i should do it though, it's a bit of a gamble with this share
“I think the divi has already been factored in at this price”
Don’t understand what you are trying to say - the dividend will not be factored in at this price - all companies drop by the dividend price on exdiv day at open , granted it may rise after that but the history of vodafone is the opposite unfortunately.
Den………..the very reason this will probably bounce back tomorrow. I think the divi has already been factored in at this price……everyone will be clambering to buy tomorrow. I have seen it before that shares actually rising on ex div day, Maybe VOD will not let us down.

Every time the price tried to break above 95p, this afternoon, it was knocked down, yet big trades were going through Off Book.
Like thousands of others, my buy order is in at 90p for tomoz ex-divi day - an entry price many millions of others could only have dreamt of.
Mary……Don’t hold your breath then. This will drop to 91p on opening but by the end of December will be back above £1. The worm will turn.
doubling at 90and below
I don’t think we can be sure of the ceos resignation but I think we can be sure of one thing and that’s 90p once this goes ex dividend.
Narcus. Thank you for your reply. I still don't get why you blame Nick Read for the building of a crappy council estate? As for your comment "I was there when he turned down apple" Can you tell me please where I can find out about Read turning down apple. I can't find any info about it. Thank you.
I resisted buying for the dividend. There's always other opportunities. This could go anywhere. More cautious than I used to be. Lol
Looks as though the divi hunters are pushing the price up. Just touched 95p, so might see it close in the Black today.
"Just placed a buy order for tomorrow at 90p"
Based on the current exchange rate, the dividend would be 3.88p if it was paid tomorrow. The current price is 94.88p, so you'll only gain 1.0194p per share taking stamp duty into account. Because the share price is so low, there could be a lot of resistance around 90p, so you might not get your buy and you'd miss out on the dividend.
If you're philosophical about it, you might decide to let the Universe decide for you, either way, but it's not a massive gain buying at 90p tomorrow if you really were interested in buying or adding more Vodafone.
Dan, The comments about the HQ were just for a bit of context, Vodafoen were nearly driven out of Newbury as the council did not want to give them a site big enough, in the late hours a late change of vote by a Lib Dem gave them permission for the greenfield site. To their credit Vodafone did an amazing job of trying to make it blend in with literally thousands of extra tress planted at huge cost. The point is a few years later it is made pointless by a crappy housing estate on the same land thus negating all the good they did and paid a fortune for. I am a disappointed investor it is not out of holding as "grudge" it is because Reid gets every big call wrong, I was there when he turned down apple
Narcus. You point out what vodafone's problems are down to. Government housing policy, working from home(which was originally caused by covid) You forgot to mention the Russian war, & massive competition in the mobile phone market. So why are these problems all the fault of Nick Read.? Sorry Narcus, but you just sound like a typical ex vodafone employee with a massive grudge. At least you got one thing right today, the divi is 4.5 euro cents, not 4.5p. about 3.8p I think.
You dont seem to understand the index. This still has plenty of MCAP to keep it well into the FTSE 100....
@Davef24 - Yes should drop approx 4% which is the Divi Impact - which is approx 3.5p-4.1p drop depending on current price ofc. However, this stock is full of suprises - even up 4% wouldn’t suprise me after tomorrow lol! GLA & ATB :)
a strong member ? :(
Robina………VOD still has a market cap of near £26bn hence that it why it is still a strong member if the Ftse 100
Well just 3p away now from my long-held fear of 91p. After tomorrow we'll be there or below. How this is still in the FTSE is beyond me.
Blue horseshoe loves Anacott Steel
Tomorrow Dave - ex divi tomorrow hence the 90p buy order
gl
I wonder if this will drop another 4p tomorrow on ex div or its already priced in, hope not
Just placed a buy order for tomorrow at 90p -
gla dyor etc
