Trim in a rally
Rinse and repeat and collect the dividend.
Great for trading and averaging down towards £0.00p and beyond.
Well not the start you would really want a day before q3 results - still we are use to this now - happens everytime and we will no doubt be back below £1.20 pretty soon
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-01-31/activist-tilt-at-vodafone-has-plenty-going-for-it"At the same time, Vodafone is a sprawling conglomerate operating in 21 countries. Its main market is Germany, but there are also businesses in Italy, the U.K., Spain, Portugal and Greece, as well as Turkey, Egypt and throughout Africa. The potential benefits of cross-border synergies are probably not that large. From shareholder perspective, complexity makes the investment hard to assess.One way forward would be to simplify the group by pulling out of markets where it’s struggling. Spain, which is bitterly competitive, is the obvious example. That in itself might not free up much capital to invest elsewhere, but there are also questions about why a firm that’s predominantly a European telecoms company should also operate in emerging markets. An unsentimental review of the portfolio could potentially lead to a more focused and higher returning business that’s easier to understand."

What a turnaround - at last someone has broken the deadline. Cevian have been brave enough to take a discounted cheap seat in the house - that doesn't only cover investment costs but provides a profit, can only grow, GLA. Simple model - in time will work +50%.per their average..
Cevian can afford to take its time with Vodafone cashflow wise - with a +5% yield and their Interest costs are zero, the profit pays for the Entertaining, travel and meetings - Brill idea for only 810m shares or 3% which will only increase. IMO DYOR it's a win win an news of Vantage Towers 1st FEb, Voda 2nd Feb and Mpesa to float next 3 months . GLA
Thanks for that losealot, think i will have to stick with HL, and work out the best way to minimise the charges, there's also the costs of selling everything up and starting again, so not easy really
Cheers mate
make sense of it twice even.
Robleo, I just checked there is no custody charge with Ig if you make 3 trades a month in either a share dealing a/c or Isa A/c, it dosnt matter which.
However the first 3 trades you make are £8 and are then charged at £3 per trade. if you dont make a trade in any one month you start at £8 again.
Custody charge if you make no trades is £24.
Hope that makes sense.
Hope that makes sense.
HI losealot, that's very interesting, I have a sip and stocks and shares isa with HL, I would not want to move my sip, but have been thinking of moving my isa, as the charges are quite high with HL, don't do many trades, can anyone recommend a low charge isa, and is it worth moving it ?
Thanks
Hi Dan, that's a very good point about the charges, I do think it's better to stick with fewer shares that you are more familiar with, and add when good opportunity's arise, but you know what I'm thinking about, it reached a peak last year and you know what happened then, hopefully we have moved on from that, who knows?, but that will be something to think about at a later time, down the snake a little tomorrow perhaps, but getting a bit further up the ladder by Friday will do me, and lets hope Mikey meets his heart target
I dont pay for my Isa with IG its free think there might be a clause about 3 trades a month.
losealot. Thanks for that tip, I won't be using the i g platform then. I used to use i.g.as my broker & had a free i.s.a. until they started charging. I use this site now, london south east who do a free i.s.a. Steer clear of I.G. is my advice. Unless you want to losealot!
Oh no Mikey, The end of the world, the 1.30 shop is the next stop. You need to practice playing shakes & ladders.. That's how the stock market works. You may get it one day?? Until you do, good luck mate!
Hello robleo. You ask a very good question, but I have to admit that as a gambler,I would get more annoyed with myself if I sold & the sp went up, than If I held & it went down. But I don't gamble more than I can afford to lose. I am chasing my losses, but If the divi holds, I will be doing ok even if the sp falls in the long run. My overall divi return is still over 4%, so better than many other investments. I am retired as you probably know, & if vod went bust tomorrow I would still be ok. Suicidal perhaps?, but financially ok, I think??!! Anyway I had £160 on Rafa Nadal (my hero) to win the ozzi open at 6/4. ok peanuts compared the vod sp change, but good. Sorry if I sound like a crazy gambler, but you are all just gamblers. Of course the stock market is a far better way to gamble that with the bookies,as long as you don't think you know it all? Me I know nothing, but live in hope. My only advise is watch you costs. I.E. Stamp duty, dealing costs, you can easily lose 5% to10% or more a year buying & selling. Unless of course you have that much desired crystal ball?
Looks like back below £1.30 tomorrow - America Voda down 1.6 % - well that was short lived !!
losealot. The yanks get more, My mum would say, There over fed, over sext, over paid & over here! But we won the war. Now though we want the Germans & the yanks on our side! Oh! & Mikey of course, sorry almost forgot!!?
Hi Pete, Yeh, I get it now, nudge nudge wink wink, say no more? I always wondered what that was you put at the end sometimes, not seen it before,but I like it? Not a lot, but it's cool? Obviously not such a good a finish for the sp after a great start, but keep up the smiley face, I can see it now with my head sideways! Lets hope I don't have to have my head on upside down, to have a happy face tomorrow?! Have a good day! Sorry about all the have's, but there are the have's & the have nots!? Snakes & ladders, That's life!?
Hi Dan, will you be thinking of taking any profits from your more recent top ups ?, it would have to go up to at least 150 for me, and then I would be taking a small loss, but that would be something to think about if it gets there, and depending if it was backed up by a dividend increase, let's hope we get some positive news now on the next update to keep the momentum going, expect a lot have taken profits today, so will be another interesting day tomorrow
good luck to everyone
I can only assume their data does not update live, and US data is out of step with UK so you see a difference. Perhaps don't rely on them.
ADR's received $1.05 past 12 months, divided by current SP of ADR's is 5.9%. If div stays the same, then buying an ADR right now will yield 5.9%.

Both the ADR's in USA and the VOD shares here yielded 5.8% on the past years dividends at VOD current SP.
Can somebody enlighten me as to why the yanks get 9.8% dividend and we only get 6.3%
its not the exchange rate as their price today converts to what ours is today.
Well at least we stayed above £1.30 - just - seems a late closed time of 17.12 ? will we stay above tomorrow or drop back down again ?
