Been eyeing up Vodafone for a while.
My main concern is debt and world wide inflation not looking like easing, thus central bank rates are pushing the cost of this debt up.
Is Vodafone one to avoid? I'm finding it quite hard to work out,and even worse it may be struggling in most markets it operates in?

No Jax today? What a surprise.
Upgraded to neutral today
Can’t see a target figure
Mrlong, what price target have they given?
A nice upgrade for VF from Exane, a very well respected brokerage.
A real recovery stock was never bad£45bn of profit but the MMs would not make money unless they kept the shares going up and then down up and down.Clever people work with the MMs
Housing has always been an issue. I remember thinking it was out of reach mid 90s. We see it as a right and not a privilege is the problem as with any asset. If you’ve bought in the last 15 years you’ll be in front but the rates could now kill you if you maxed out affordability in that period. A third of uk residential stock is mortgaged and I think the tussle will only be in that fraction. Owners will simply not sell unless necessary imo.
I don’t think they will be cut anytime soon, people got used to 0.25% and will have to get used to 5% I think. I don’t think global inflation is going anywhere and even getting it down to 5% which will seem like a victory, isn’t really.
I’m on a 10 year fix at 2.69%, I’m feeling like a genius who foresaw all this. In reality I needed a long term fix three years ago due to job uncertainty (made redundant and then working abroad) and until a few months ago, I was paying through the nose for it.
I also took out a modest mortgage I could afford if rates did rise, Halifax were prepared to let me have a sum I don’t think I could have afforded to pay the first instalment of.
Tories are out at the next election regardless, happened in 1997. People just get sick of them.
Lol...rates are FAR from decreasing...if anything they could reach parity with inflation ..I can see a future rate of between 9-10%..give it 18 months...we've been there before and higher....housing won't crash but will slide fo-20% for the next 10-15 years...the days of huge growth (1995-2019) won't happen for generations...we were lucky!!
Absolutely, energy security should be top of the agenda.
And whilst wind farms and solar are carbon free at point of generation its questionable if in the long term form start to finish they are any more environmentally sound than coal or oil.
We should have a balanced mix of nuclear, coal (with carbon capture), oil, gas, hydrogen, solar, wind.
"One way to make coal cleaner is carbon capture and storage, or CCS. In CCS, which can be used at both coal and natural gas plants, CO2 gas is captured before it can escape to the atmosphere. The gas is then turned into a fluid and injected deep underground."
But no the green agenda pushed to the hilt with all of us paying an extra tax to subsidise it, GLA
"Things will never improve, no matter who is in Government, because the UK is just firefighting on every level"
My personal view is that we have limited natural resources and rely too heavily on other States, so are easily blackmailed by the likes of the EU and US. I can't understand why UK Government's haven't historically had long term policies for generating excess power, since cheap electricity reduces costs across industry and society in general, it seems a no brainer to me. As far as I know we have limited access to rare Earth elements, so maybe we could use excess electricity to produce hydrogen and develop industries around something we could produce in perpetuity. The Government seem to blame the BOE for the current inflationary environment, personally I blame long term Government policies; If we hard dirt cheap electricity, everything else would be economically achievable at much lower cost, I'm talking things like heavy industry, vertical farming and many others.
Totally agree.. barley treading water is a phrase I often use .
Interest rates have only returned to the long term norm of 5%, we have had a lengthy period below the norm , expect a equally long period above the norm.
Things will never improve, no matter who is in Government, because the UK is just firefighting on every level ... never enough done to prevent problems happening , everything is about frantically trying to firefight problems once they have been allowed to get out of control ....the Pandemic planning is just another example of the political and economic mentality ..firefighting with regards to flood,drought, farming,,housing, health,education ...you name it
I agree on trump, but disagree on rates. Here to stay imo.
Finally the difference between having zero and a million is more than 10k interest a year!
Yes we all know Labour will win next year, it is a near certainty but unless things improve the Tories could be almost wiped out. As Clinton's advisor famously said in 1992, 'it's the economy stupid'.
Rates will be cut and soon. This is scaremongering from central bankers. Political pressure will win. Same will happen in the States, the Democrats will do everything to keep Trump out. Republican primaries and debates are just a few weeks away....
Tories are going to run out of time. It doesn’t take long for people to become desperate and labour will prevail. Let’s hope they do for the economy what TB did in 97, but I seriously doubt it. They will spend the money of those that have some until it runs out! Unfortunately the masses just can’t run the course of time required in order for us to repair and reset!
The higher they hike - the fat numpty is already up to 5% - the more he will have to cut and soon, within months and certainly by year end.
General Election is next year...the Tories need a strong economy not a dire recession with high interest rates and a woeful FTSE - do the Tories want more than 50 sitting MP's or not?
Surprised you are showing up this evening Jax.
You promised us 60's today. What happened?
Poor predictions I am afraid. Better ignored.
