XxxAccountant - thanks for the response, I was interested to hear the movement of your pension to cash, can I ask how close you are to retirement? Do you mean actual cash or bonds/guilts? My main workplace pension is heavily in the LGIM Future World Global Equity Index Fund as of November last year prior to that it was in a 60% uk/40% overseas LGIM fund mainly moved due to pension fund changes. I can see some are commenting that the FTSE may be heading for a fall also, athough its recent climbs seem to be small compared to the S&P as you mention. Are any other index trackers worth a consideration like Japan?
Any movement of my pension to cash is a very long winded manual affair which limits my ability to act in haste which may not be a bad thing. I can ride out 5 years before retirememt if the market makes a dip (but I am not young). The immediate need is to make better investment decisions with my cash isas (mine and my childs) and cash on hand currently but if I read you correctly you are moving to cash on your main investment (pension) while still trying to grow investments regarding your share activity. I have some in RR, I have some in my ISA which I held but also had some outside of my ISA which I sold before the CG limit reduces, not sure where it is headed but wondering if it is running out of steam. Sorry to other readers as this is a VOD forum, Thanks
Robleo - thanks happy for any information, can you expand a little please re "you may want to consider the 5 or 10 year return on an international fund against your expected returns on any individual dividend share". From what I understand specific shares if picked well may generate a larger % return, however an investment trust or index tracker etf etc may be a less risky more and need less eyes on (but they seem quite high at the moment). If those specific shares did well I would look to hold them until any possible index fund retrace and then swap back out for ease of investment (and continue in that kind of pattern). thanks
After this weekends’s article and chairman’s share purchase last week I think 75p. Feeling pretty bullish on VoD now
72.15 please if I can join the game!
The simple way I look at it is, the investments made by board members were so large they obviously can see positive times ahead. Vod is well overdue a re rate.
Surely you wouldn’t invest such large sums unless you were very confident of significant life changing gains.
I think 90-£1 achievable after a good update 14 may then upward from there. I’d be over the moon with £1-£1.30 this year plus dividends. No building society will beat those returns
I agree with your valuation assessment xxxAccountant , I too topped up Friday and see strong gains at this level £1 - £1.30 is a strong possibility this year.
No problem, I’m certainly no expert but have been reading and researching some time now so hopefully useful advice
I have transferred my pensions into cash for now, as I believe the major indices could correct this year but many of the so called experts say they’ll keep rising. Who knows.
In the FT this week they are saying uk shares are the most undervalued and US investors are now starting to put their money into the FTSE. I know vanguard do some good trackers at low cost so could be worth looking at them.
If a selection of individual stocks with high yields, experts are saying rolls Royce, legal and general and others are good places to invest but think trackers are far less risky for your pension
My personal view is the S&P and Nasdaq have come so far so quickly they will surely correct or crash at some point.
Anegada, If you don't mind me just making a suggestion, you may want to consider the 5 or 10 year return on an international fund against your expected returns on any individual dividend share
XxxAccountant - appreciate the thoughts. One more if you have time please, I have a very small amount in S&P trackers as the majority of my work place pension was shifted to S&P trackers as of Nov last year so feel a bit over exposed in this area. Do you use/see any trackers that might have more growth left in them? I have sums in cash ISA's that are losing out to inflation. Looking to balance shares v funds so I can play with the shares while leaving the trackers over time.
Morning, I bought quite a few Friday at 70p, I think £1-£1.30 is possible this year.
I also have money in MCG at 66p. It’s much higher risk. Could drop to 55p but will recover or if gets taken over or debt cleared could hit £1-£2
Also looking to add Currys below 60p
I’m no expert but managed to grow my portfolio 15% so far this year
Hope that helps?
73.9p please
XxxAccountant, are you already in VOD or planning to enter? I ask really to enquire what your view is on a reasonable entry price. I am trying to add a few stocks to my childs ISA before end of the tax year. Any view on stocks might still have a fair way to climb after being depressed please?
Bought the FT today. Article in Money section on stock picking challenge for its readers. In the Top 20, BAE and Roll Royce today, guess where Vod is? 5th ahead of Lloyds Barc etc etc.
Dan, That's exactly what I wanted to hear, let's hope so then
Cheers
I disagree, they’re on £1m packages pa before tax. This is an awful lot of money they’re gambling. OR is it a gamble. I do t think so
Rob, I think we will see a big improvement this year, £1 by the year end is my prediction. The divi cut next year may be wise in the long run. I am even thinking of topping up after 5 April new tax year into an I.S.A. xxxAccountant sounds very bullish, I just hope he is right. I suspect though, the directors houses are worth far more than there recent investment's in vod shares. For a director in vod to invest £1 million is not a lot, but I wish them luck!
The recession was pretty mild and I think people wouldn’t down grade their internet and phones.
I think we’ll be fine
Great results to come
Dan, as a very long hold investor, i expect a better prediction from you, seriously though just making everyone aware of the next hurdle here, good results will give this a bit of a boost and bring confidence, bad results will obviously do the opposite
just something to be aware of
xxx, do keep in mind there has been a recession
I’m an FD of a FTSE 250 company, trust me, VOD will know what the first three months alook like anlready and forecast EBITDA in April after the 7.9% price increases. I suspect is a material step change in performance.
Betting their respective houses on Vodafone shares tells me what I need to know. That’s enough for me to go in big.
Rob, If the results in May are good, the sp will go up, if bad then down. We don't know what they will be like, so what more can we say? We can all guess of course. My wishfull thinking guess is good. I think what you need is a crystal ball. If you find one, let me know 1st.

73.14 for me please Monsieur Roofer
I’m actually looking forward to this annual report to see if this is still a good place to be etc. I wonder if any green shoots or the same old. So we’ll see what is in store.
It will be good for some sort of Insight. Something which has been lacking and has attached to the SP
Do we still get a 4.5 dividend in August. Then after that the based dividend?
Something nobody is talking about here is the Final results in May, I wouldn't get too excited just yet, I am hoping we see a rise in sp here before the results
