not for me Dan, we love to get away from the cold and rain, sun, sand and sangria or san Miguel for us or similar, Is it Italy your going to ? Stayed in a beach resort there before, Lido de Jesolo, and took a boat trip to Venice, but not been near the ski slopes
O well, & there's me thinking all you rich stock market investors were jetting off to the ski slopes each year? Just me then? You should try it? It beats Snowden, or box hill? Yoddle loddle la te too.
Hi Dan, I don't know much about ski slopes, but I think I get your drift?, so Mikey wants it to keep climbing the mountain without stopping for a break, and stop acting like a Tarts Knickers, because it's not good for the blood pressure
Rocket robleo. Of course they don't, not a clue. I will try to explain in my usual joking way? So, ref to ski slope posts, (by you know who) the giant slalom is not that steep compared to the flying k. Are there no skiers on here that can back me up?? ( Even jokingly) I am talking steep slopes here, not the Welsh hills?? My point was, that was a very steep fall today, almost vertical, not to be compared with the giant slalom? I just hope your rocket isn't running out of fuel? Mystery & suspense? yeah, loving it? no narrative reversal, or steep ski slopes tomorrow please?
I don't like to say anything guys, but does anyone know what Daniel is talking about ? a lot of mystery and suspense here at the moment, everyone is wondering how high this can go, or indeed have we already reached the top ?, check back here Friday all will be revealed, well for this week anyway

Equita estimated that Vodafone Italia, which also competes against CK Hutchison Holdings' Wind Tre and former monopoly Telecom Italia, has an enterprise value of between 11 billion and 13 billion euros ($13-15 billion).
Analysts at Banca Akros estimated Vodafone Italia's enterprise value at between 9 and 9.5 billion euros, adding that they expected Iliad could be willing to pay more than 10 billion.

So after a week of rising, a fall today, Correct me if I am wrong? (One at a time please)! As for the giant slalom (quote) fall at 1.55 today, that was more like the flying kilometre, the fastest, ski run in Europe, were skiers reach speeds of 255 K.P.H. faster than if you fall out of a plane (terminal velocity). But a bit of a bounce back, so not too bad? Tomorrow is, I think important, so hopefully the up trend won't turn, or do a narrative reversal? .
Thanks fleccy & sorry for being picky, but I gather it means a change of mind? You could always just say that? Still keep your posts coming, I can always google them for interpretation I guess? Have a good day.
Well what a strange day that was - what was that big spike then big drop at 1.55 . Several times it ski sloped down today and clawed its way back only to drop again . Oh well onwards and upwards .
"fleccy. I value your posts, but "Narrative reversal" Give us a break? I googled it's meaning, But still don't have the faintest idea what is means, apart from abstract nonsense"

I thought it was easily understandable. The old narrative was to talk down Telecom stocks, with articles suggesting that Telecom stocks are a bottomless money pit, requiring constant infrastructure/license's outlay just to stand still. All of a sudden articles are talking up Telecom stocks, with articles talking about M&A/Activists/etc. I could have also used Counter-Narrative too. I used the phrase to describe the change from a Bear to a Bull narrative, stop being so picky lol.
Lots of nudges upwards in broker targets which seem to be converging around the 170p level. Almost daily updates on M&A, 2 activist investors and heavy volume above 130p. I think the narrative is indeed changing and rather quickly...
I thought this would be 140p by May, but we've tickled that already today and 160p by May seems quite likely now.
Of course none of this would have happened if I hadn't sold a chunk at 133p so you can thank me all later :)
I'm not complaining though - made a few quid here, had an offer accepted on house yesterday and can happily let the rest ride.
Think you will find I was posting last week as it was rising - or do you have selective reading
Well that was a strange few minutes . Big spike up then bigger drop down .
Mikey, please let us know what price you would like VOD to be.
Don't be silly now, just let us know so that we can all root for you.
It has gone pop considerably these last few weeks but I'm sure that you are aware of this fact.
No alarm, drama or despondency intended.
As long as it beats your targets for friday guys, that will be ok, would like to see it brake past the 140s though, fingers crossed
Yawn
No it's called, O.C.M.A.M.A.M.D. Your turn?
Its called O.C.M.A.M.D
Obsessive Compulsive Moaning about Moaning Disorder
It's called O.C.M.D. Obsessive Compulsive Moaning Disorder!!
Isn’t that the plan of western government for the last 10 years, but just seem to end up with more debt?
It may work for VOD if they can raise prices faster than costs. That will depend on the competition.
Rising inflation should reduce the value of the bond interest repayments and therefore VOD's massive effective debt faster than the effects of rising returns required for new bond issues. Discuss.
Hopefully we have 3 activist investors
It was all looking so good first thing . Then the giant slalom begins - oh well lets hope it doesnt continue and gets back to its upward moves quickly
Dan, if this goes back to 1.10, I will be the top moaner, but don't see any reason for that to happen right now, so let's just enjoy the ride, to infinity and beyond, rocket power yea
