Jax if you're not being treated, you should be. Any normal person would have got bored long ago, but not you.
Doesn’t seem much different to your relentless positivity. You’re as bad as each other and clog up the site with your endless bickering. At least he has the merit of being right most of the time.
Buglet, does it upset you that I don't fret when the price drops?
No, it doesn’t, it irritates me when you keep claiming your dividend reinvestment strategy is working, when it clearly isn’t. Still, you wont change of course. But when you accuse the tediously repetitive Jax of being out of order, when he simply takes the opposite standpoint to you, I feel you should be brought to order.
Finally when you keep telling us how well off you are, and how the constantly falling share doesn’t affect you, I am more than a tad miffed. The rest of us ARE hurting, so please less of the “I’m alright Jax”
"No, it doesn’t, it irritates me when you keep claiming your dividend reinvestment strategy is working, when it clearly isn’t."
Like I said in a previous thread, It's the destination that counts, not the journey. You should worry about your own investments instead of worrying what I might be doing with mine, although it does make me feel warm inside knowing that someone is thinking about me. As far as Jax is concerned, he adds nothing by posting negative one liners with no analysis; At least I put some effort into my posts, even if you don't agree with my point of view.
Sorry to being the bearer of bad news, but i couldn’t care less about you. I am as interested in you as you are interested in me. So, please, tone down your over inflated ego, and arrogant self importance. You are not some kind of guru, you are a loser like most of us in this share.
"Sorry to being the bearer of bad news, but i couldn’t care less about you."
Clearly you do so I recommend you add me to your Filter list, as I'll be adding you to mine straight after I press the Post Message button for this post.
Seems that the truth hurts. Just imagine, over 11,000 posts from Fleccy, how does he find the time? And yet with all that skill and knowledge, he invests in Vod, Bt and Lloyds. Says it all.
Buglet11, I have to agree with you on one thing, it's not jax and gutter that annoy me, it's the ones that pretend they don't mind if the share price drops so they can keep adding more, this is not a share that goes up and down in a range each year, it's kept on dropping for years, and nobody knows if it will go back up or by how much
like it or not jax and gutter are the ones getting it right at the moment and unless that changes we will just have to suck it up
Jax and Gutter just put out meaningless one liners aimed at upsetting people who are sitting on large paper losses. I'm among the people sitting on such paper losses and I could cry about it and put out doom and gloom, but instead of complaining I choose to top up, where I consider my stocks to be cheap, as funds become available. I could invest in other stocks, but I don't see any other stocks as cheap as the ones I already have holdings in. If someone has valid arguments as to why stocks are cheap, I'll happily debate it.
UK stocks are getting punished big time and they're cheap by historic standards, there's no reason to believe that'll always be the case.

Hi FLeccy
RE: Jax and Gutter just put out meaningless one liners aimed at upsetting people who are sitting on large paper losses
Of course they are mate, they are just trying to wind everyone up for a laugh, but surely nobody takes them serious, i know i don't, but it's got to the point here that only seeing is believing here for me
unfortunately for as long as this keeps dropping they are winning, so we will just have to take it on the chin, let's hope it can change direction, this share and Lloyds are definitely not ones for the impatient, and let's hope they will eventually be worth the wait, I have to be honest this has not been one of my easiest investments that's for sure
best of luck, we all need it
Hello rob. I hope you don't mind, but I would strongly dissagree with your comment "unfortunately for as long as this keeps dropping they are winning" They are not winning, any more than a monkey throwing his poo at you, or a dissruptive school child is winning. They are both losers. And I think most on here, would rather be losing there money, than be like jax or gutter.
Hi Dan, this has been a tricky little bugger this one, just as you think it's stopped dropping it goes down a bit more, so i can understand how some are getting a bit frustrated here, but it has to stop somewhere, so how about we throw a bit of poo back at them on the way back up, that will be something to look forward to, and the sooner the better
best of luck mate
Luka Mucic: Yes, I can only reiterate what we already covered at H1 earnings. First of all of
course we are very focused on generating capital. That is the whole focus on operational
excellence and certainly looking into all of the components of our end-to-end cash conversion
chain. I think over time I am sure we will have further opportunities with the customer,
simplicity, growth focus to also improve there. Then more importantly in the short term, in
terms of the capital allocation, we have covered briefly already on one of the previous
questions, the question around capital intensity, so nothing that would suggest any need for
any changes in that respect. In terms of the balance sheet I am pleased that I was handed a
very solid and strong one, actually with very long-term debt at reasonable interest rates. Also
in that respect there is no significant shift that anybody would need to expect. Then in terms
of the actual shareholder returns, yes, I am convinced that we have to look at a good mix of
different means. On the dividend front it is important to me to make sure that an ongoing
dividend is covered by the underlying free cash flow of the firm. Spain is going to change that
a bit but we will use all of the visibility that we have by then to then come up with the right
call. Nothing is decided and yes also share buybacks could then be part of the mix. In
particular, if we have sizeable one-off cash inflows like the one that we are expecting from
Spain at the closing of that transaction.
Akhil Dattani: Can I just clarify one thing Margherita on your first answer? Does that mean
that Italy in terms of whether it happens or not and the construct of any potential deal does
not necessarily impact? I guess it is quite a big asset for you, so I am trying to understand
how you can give clarity in May if potentially that deal has not yet materialised by that point.
Margherita Della Valle: Our intention remains to give clarity in May. As you can imagine we
will have the €4 billion proceeds from Spain coming in and therefore we do not think we
should delay any further, so we will update you in Ma
Polo Tang (UBS): Hi, thanks for taking the question. I have one question about Etisalat. Can
you clarify when they will take their seat on the Vodafone board? Are there any further steps
that need to be taken before this happens? Separately, have they given you any feedback on
where they would like to see the dividend and shareholder returns? Thanks.
Margherita Della Valle: On the timelines, we are still going through the process and as
Vodafone we are of course supporting the process with whatever information sharing is
required by the various authorities. However, it still needs to be completed and therefore we
will update you. We look forward to welcoming Hatem to the board and at that point having a
fuller conversation around the topics you mentioned. I think it would be really helpful to be
able to have these conversations once they join the board
