Well here we go again - FTSE well up - voda dropping down and soon be in the red !!!!
Don't worry - the FTSE will be joining the red club soon. US inflation hotter than expected at 8.3%. That means the Fed could even more aggressive with QT and raising interest rates.
All the US indexes are now below support levels so I'd expect to see quite a lot of selling today and over the next few weeks, which will spill over in the UK and VOD.
Although the rate is high at 8.3% and instantly upset futures, the rate of inflation did fall in April compared to March. March may yet turn out to be the peak. There is some hope.
Mind you, Just put £70 of diesel in the car and it’s only half full. Crumbs.
Ftse , dow and nasdaq bouncing back - voda same as usual . Not sure about Reid resigning he should be sacked !!!!!!!!
Volatility is nuts at the moment and I don't see that changing for a while. Markets are having a hard time digesting all the info. One minute 8.3% is bad as it was higher than expected, now it's good as it was less than last month! No doubt it will sink in that 8.3% as a standalone figure is bad, as are 0.5% rate increases at every meeting as a minimum, then the whole lot will come down again!
Good finish for vod. Another non red finish. As for Nick resigning he should be sacked. I prefer sack Mick to sack Nick, perhaps he didn't resign, but was sacked? could the order have come from the top?. If so, at least they got that one right?! Talk about chip on your shoulder? Nothing like a resentful ex employee with an axe to grind.
Dear dear - you seem to have very selective reading . As i stated I retired - last time i looked retired is not the same as resigned or sacked !!!!
I certainly do not have a chip on my shoulder or and axe to grind - as I also said Vodafone is a great company to work for with some great people working for them .
I do believe though that Reid is not the right leader for the company , he has done nothing since he took over and its not just me as an ex employee who thinks that.
Never mind you just keep your selective reading !!!!!!
mole-man. Sounds like you drive a big car/tank then? I could not get £70 worth in my car. What have you got??
Bentley by the sounds of it, can't get that much fuel in my ford anglia, how the other half live hey, I will hold back on my judgement untill results day
Good luck
So who should replace him then Mikey? Sorry, but if you came up with something constructive for a change, that might help? It has nothing to do with selective reading, as you always come up with same old comments all the time, so nothing much to select from. If you wan't to be taken seriously as an ex employee(retired) with one vodafone share, then come up with something other than "1/10 this will end in the red, sack Nick Read, blame the Yanks, E.T.C. E.T.C. If you can't be bothered to reply, then I think we all know what your problem is?
My problem is the Lord of the Vodafone Boards - Danieh !!!!!!
I used to have a Ford Anglia, & I think a mole-man's £140 full tanks worth would have lasted longer than my car did? Now though I have a sensible, cheap to run, get from a to b car. A Ford K.A. O.K. when you all stop laughing, I don't need to prove anything anymore, because nobody believes me anyway?!
Mikey. Just try & come up with something at least slightly intelligent? What is the Lord of the Vodafone Boards supposed to mean? Come on Mikey, just try & come with something intelligent for a change, otherwise why bother? You clearly resent anybody who may be more clever than you? Nick Read for example. Get that chip off your shoulder?
The lord of the vodafone boards - as in you daniel - as in god help anybody who posts anything negative . Most people just ignore posts that they consider talk rubbish - you - no you have to have a go at them - only one person with a massive granite rock on their shoulder not a chip and thats you .
Nice to see the ftse up the last cple of days. Re: funds and shares, a mixture of both has been good for me, have bought and sold a lot of funds since 2014 sold some off so now left with the 7 that have been the best performers for me over the years, some of the profit i built up has been reducing over the last few months, but hopefully that will reverse at some point, but pretty much the same with the shares, the good ones pay a good dividend and give a little gain on the capital, but also there's shares where you lose more on the capital than you gain on dividends, so maybe a bit of a mixture could be best, unless your very good at picking all winning shares
I hate to break it to you Robleo, but it looks like the FTSE is going to give up all of yesterday's gains and possibly more. The down days have been very emphatic since last Thursday, and the rallies rather unconvincing. I still don't think monumental stagflation and recession have been reflected in the price of the FTSE. With US markets tanking and crypto going into meltdown, the FTSE may outperform in relative terms, but the direction still looks like it's going to be down.
If the cycle of raising interest rates to induce a recession to crash commodity prices and demand to curb inflation really does unfold, then the FTSE could have a lot further to fall. It may not be as dramatic as tech/growth stocks, as initially oil/mining companies will prop up the FTSE, but once a recession starts and commodity prices start coming down then the decline in the FTSE will accelerate.
VOD ADR finished 2% down yesterday near the lows of the day and near Nov 21 lows. This really is starting to shape up into a perfect storm for markets generally and VOD. Results are due next week, and if they aren't great then this could drop from already low levels, plus there's the ex dividend drop a few weeks later. If there's any hint of the dividend being cut then this could get very messy, very quickly.
I obviously don't have a crystal ball to know what the results are going to be like, or if there are going to be any pleasant surprises in the macro economic picture that could turn sentiment, but right now there are some serious risks out there. If they pan out then share prices will fall well below fair value, as bear market corrections always overshoot, although the extent and timing of the fall will be impossible to predict. I know a few people have mentioned and I've talked about spreadbetting, but be very, very careful using any kind of leverage at the moment as you could end up losing the lot.
I'm sorry to be such a harbinger of doom, but whatever your situation and strategy is then make sure you've considered these risks and how you are going to deal with them.
Cheers for that Compound, i have a few shares i would like to top up but not in any rush will hold back for the right price to lower my average as much as possible
Mikey. I am not a Lord, & as you well know I welcome all negative intelligent posts. If you want everybody to ignore your posts, then why bother posting? The whole point of a forum is for people to post, & others to respond if they so wish. If you don't like Nick Read, perhaps you should ignore him. He is person, who deserves some respect, not just envy. We know you don't like him, so you don't need to keep telling us. There may be are many reasons why vodafone has performed badly as you well know, If a plane crashes it is not always the pilots fault, there can be many reasons, & to sack the pilot when he trying to control the plane, is probably not a good idea. I realise you probably can't understand what I am saying, but I am at least trying to treat you like an intelligent person?
“The whole point of a forum is for people to post, & others to respond if they so wish” - exactly - for people to post . Very condescending post Daniel but then we expect that from you !!!!!! No envy - why would I envy him !!!!!!! Time to filter you again , i dont like condescending people who feel they are more intelligent than other people . Bye Daniel - have a good life . At least my 1 share wont give me headaches !!!!!!
Bye Mikey, Don't rush back, say hello to the tooth fairies. Vod doing ok today so far, when the f.t.s.e. is well down, so thank you tooth fairies?
Dan & Mikey oh my Lord or is it oh my God, I love a good fairy tale, but prefer one with a happy ending, be nice to each other you two
Dont worry Robleo he is on filter now so wont be getting anything of me - no doubt he will still be mentioning me in a condescending way as usual . Bloke is an arrogant , condescending , granite brick on his shoulder idiot . Last I say about him !!!!
Hi robleo. Unfortunately I am not a lord or a god, I wish I was, but, just a mere mortal, the same as Nick Read, just not as wealthy & talented perhaps? Envy is a bad thing in my opinion, so I think we all should realise Nick Read is just human, & doing a job that if we were honest would love to have, as C.E.O. of vod. Not a bad earner? Anybody can come up with the line give him the sack, Kier what's his name comes to mind!. But back to your main point, how long can he last before he un filters me? Answers please by next Friday. My guess is 1 week. It is a shame that he clearly disrespects anybody who he feels inferior to! But I must admit I expected a bit more of a telling off from you, but perhaps c.s.d.i. will give me some stick?? By the way please don't mention me & Mikey being nice to each other, & fairies in the same sentence! We both denied that that nasty rumour, after Mikey claimed that I had a crush on him, a long time ago?!!!
Dan & Mikey, I'm not telling you off i would like to think i get on with both of you, don't expect you two to be nice to each other, but if you don't stop being naughty boys, i might have to set CSDI onto you, now your scared aren't you ?
If Mikey has finally worked out how to use the filter, perhaps someone could point out to him that a chip on your shoulder refers to a chip of wood, not a granite brick, so more easy to remove? O.k. So am wasting my time with him, but do you really think just ignoring is a good thing? I get the impression he has some supporters/helpers on here? If so, you are not helping him in my opinion? He is just banging his head against a brick wall, as he said in a post a long time ago, just getting it off my chest. For me, not the lord of the forum, just one who feels that this forum is for vod share chat, not constant whinging. One day perhaps we will get back to that, bullish or bearish, I listen to both.
