Yes, you won't receive the dividend in February.

"There we are - 91p.
No doubt more hopefuls will be lured in. The decline will then continue.
I see 71p."
Has your crystal ball had its annual service? In the absence of some sort of company profit warning, can you imagine the buying resistance to get anywhere near 71p? Unless you have some sort of insider information, you've just picked a highly unlikely number out of thin air.
Should slide now the buyers have spent their money.
yes but the trick is to ride the wave and average down while picking up the dividend. Works a treat.
There we are - 91p.
No doubt more hopefuls will be lured in. The decline will then continue.
I see 71p.
After a day of mega buying will this end the day blue?
"What’s the reason for further drop ?"
Because it suited some big, vested interest, market players in my opinion. There are probably loads of ways big players can move the price of even large cap stocks. One possible way to alter the price is to direct trades Off Book, keeping volumes low On Exchange, and then use Algo's to drive the price one way or the other on the Exchange.
Balanced views or blatant lies, guys in their office's punching the keys () to justify a drop or a hike for their masters they serve, who ultimately serve me. Wink wink homies tick tock, tick tock. Jesus Christ, and you folks must love playing my thief in the night ..lol
ex div today so if you held you will get around 3.6p per share.
Oh well - bit the bullet and back in this morning at 90p . Must be mad :)
What’s the reason for further drop ?
Took another 10k and will do the same again if it break lower.
GLA
Likewise pal....
I’m waiting for 88p I’ve set a buy
Seems to be plenty of buys waiting at 89p, will we dip to pick them up?? Great long term hold..
"N Reid was not CEO but as CFO he called time on the Apple offer and said no. Consequently one of the most successful businesses in the world launched exclusively on O2 and Vod lost a shed load of Corporate business."
----
Hindsight is a gem isn't it? Whether this is true or not, what's funny is that Jobs would have taken a similar decision to that of Read had he been in his seat. Apple wasn't as big of a company then and no track record of designing and supplying phones.
Do you for a second believe Jobs would have allowed himself being bullied by a supplier in a reversed role?
Even with O2's decision, look where they are today compared to Vod.
"Dan, vod shares have halved in value since nick reed took over, ok i know it's all very complex, but your constant backing this guy is very strange"
Nick Read might shoulder some of the blame, but he can't be blamed for the market treatment of the sector in general. As I've mentioned in previous posts, there's a contradiction between the narrative the market is projecting on the sector, and the private equity Billions being invested directly in Fibre FTTP and mast infrastructure through partnerships and buyouts.
The whole sector valuations are low, and consistently talked down by various vested interest market and media commentators, but I take a different view and see Telecoms as an essential industry with huge potential.
Taking a revenue cut was a new and novel way for Apple to approach the Telecoms companies. But here this, If I said to you If I generate £100 of revenue to you on condition you give me £20 would you take it? That is more or less money for nothing right? You can take it or give it to a competitor, what would you do?
Nick said this was a red line and refused the deal.
Dan,
N Reid was not CEO but as CFO he called time on the Apple offer and said no. Consequently one of the most successful businesses in the world launched exclusively on O2 and Vod lost a shed load of Corporate business.
Dan, vod shares have halved in value since nick reed took over, ok i know it's all very complex, but your constant backing this guy is very strange, sorry mate but i just don't get it, if a company comes up with really good results, then everyone says what a well-managed company it is, but if it goes badly surely the guys at the top have to take some responsibility for it
Narcus.. Why should vodafone have given apple a slice anyway. Sorry, but you make no sense?
Hi Narcus. Are you serious, July 2007. 15 years ago, Before Nick Read was even C.E.O. Sorry mate, but you must be really desperate to discredit Nick Read, by bringing that up, (apple). Come on, be honest, as a vod employee you just didn't like him for whatever reason, & It's time you got over it. A 15 year grudge. Sad or what.
HI Dan,
He was CFO at the time I believe and didn't fancy giving Apple a slice of revenue which was a new and previously unseen attempt by a device maker to take a cut.
I can find this in the archives..
