Fleecy - when I refer to bad math. I’m referring to calculations that sometimes leaves out anything which doesn’t support your position.

I think lil rod has picked up inflation, I can think of other examples.

So for example a SP drop of 20% ( say £40,000) is not offset by a 7% div, which will fluctuate, depending what price shares were bought at (could be 7%, could be 3%) depends on average price & then that divi is subject to inflation etc etc etc.

I do agree BT should see costs removed over the next 10 years, but competition and technological changes along with consumer & business preferences can easily eat away at that. Planting oak trees for the Royal Navy seemed like a great plan, before it wasnt !!!

NDN - I’d like to think most people on here would understand personal information belongs to its owner & no amount of pathetic psycho babble justifications would change the fact that stealing someone’s personal information and then using it to try and bully / intimidate them online or worse is anything other than the lowest of the low, beyond scumbaggary.

Luckily I don’t have too much to hide, it obviously has an impact, but for other victims it can be catastrophic, but I’m guessing a pompous ass like you, someone who feels entitled to invade other peoples privacy and right to anonymity is okay.

Hey abject. At least lil Rod and me don’t associate / get drawn in / side with the resident stalker on this board.

It’s funny you think you would be on the right side of this little split knowing that.

I see lil Rods repetition of his views as a parody of the un ending repetition of Fleecys investment strategy & reasoning & his un-questioning followers & then their blind attacks / recriminations against anyone who dares to think about risks / down sides / discussion points.

To be clear, I don’t have an opinion on people individual investment plans, I think this is an individuals choice. My issue is the unending repetition, the 101 explanations and bad maths used to justify them. I think this might be called an echo chamber (by interweb experts). It’s sounding more and more like financial advice to me & would hate for someone to be brain washed by it

Mean while as lil Rod continues to point out the share price is what it is & this is dismissed by the “cult” as hocus-pocus.

Obviously no one knows who anyone is on this public board (unless NDN has stalked them).

I would simply advocate caution & an environment where proper discussions are possible without cultish group think.

For all lil Rods writing, I think this is his underlying Christmas present to you, along with his continual renewal / resurrection via different usernames!!! Praise be

Good job too lil Rod. Opening files like that can lead to all kinds of personal information being harvested from your machines (NDN will be very interested in that). It’s a filthy business not respecting someone’s right to privacy. Makes you wonder what other taboo’s that kind of entitlement would override. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

Anyway, he has no class lil Rod, discussing personal financial details on this board is so, base. Of course, never know on a public board whether it’s fantasy, bragging or stupidity? Which of course is the point.

With all the noise about digital voice, especially now the daily mail has got involved, I’m starting to wonder if our hopes and dreams of a TDM (old school networks) turn off might be delayed & costly?

I know this sounds like blasphemy to some, but we will continue to call it individual thought, rather than falling in behind these herdy cults!!!

like to thank you for cheering me up this year with your joyful leg pulling, whilst most posters think you are being serious. I’m afraid I don’t see a takeover, but love to be proved wrong, I would sell my holding too & move on.

Recession coming next year, I suspect we will need to hold through that too.

Prime - does Drahi have many options?

If you believe reports, he is in trouble, although if financial conditions can change quick enough, he might be able to hold out, although allegations might poison his ability to do deals?

Fleccy - you, like me have just watched Drahi accumulate significant share holding without hardly creating a ripple…..

Not sure why I’m discussing something I don’t think will happen, but, if it did, my guess is Drahi is out, needs cash & likely to sell shares, to either a hedge or DT. Either way I’m not sure he will get a good price.

From there, it’s could be a skip and jump towards action.

It seems clear to me once you have Drahi shares, it could be possible to very quickly exceed 50%. +. The trouble a majority holder could do on the board wouldn’t be good, even if that turned out to be DT, who I don’t think are ready yet either

Because BT’s current value is £1.25 per share (ish)

There are enough shares held by major player to force BT boards hand. At these valuations £2.50 might be the upper end of what gets paid maybe, this being one of the reasons I doubt a bid is coming or would be taken seriously.

It’s just my opinion. A buyer still has plenty of head winds to refer to.

For purposes of bidder, debt will be £19bln, pension deficit will be 3-5 to 7 bln. It’s why SP is where it is, I can’t see a bid taking too much of a different view right now.

Love to be proved wrong. I would consider £2.50 anyway.

Can Altice pay for its own dinner?

There isn’t going to be a bid & if there was I can’t see why the bidder would need to over pay like that.

Creepy stalker is back on. Very worrying

Hey Jake - sure I thought I had spotted something there. Share price looks okay (hopefully). I did wonder whether the shorter last week knew something about this, but looks like I was wrong. Good news, very happy to be wrong

Not good news. Believe it’s for old people and non voluntary. Will clearly cause national switch over delays, pending decisions choice made. I found this. Some of the options seem expensive

There are also Westminster briefings available online. Also a statement from bt here

Savage - agreed. Rwanda is a game, it make uk look foolish (again). There were less controversial options, which although would have been morally wrong abandoning our international obligations, wouldn’t have mattered as much & would have just made uk look bad, rather than dangerous.

Hi savage, it’s central to the point being made here about investment.

I don’t agree fully, money I think should be used for a grown up approach to immigration, legal entry points, quick processing, turn people around without a claim. Like we always have.

Foreign news outlets report all these details, UK people seem ignorant about. It leave foreign investment wondering what comes next. They also know when in the EU we could pass people in boats back to France if we chose too & had access to criminal records to arrest or kick people out. Foreign news reports this too, which adds to the mystery of what is going on. People talk about a BT takeover, it was only a year ago we had a prime minister who thought it funny to “f” business. IMO lots of this goes to answer why uk will continue to struggle . Breaking international law on a whim won’t help.

Poker - press are framing this not as requiring better explanation but to Stop increases during contract.

Those two things are very different

Poker - Reuters “While Britain hopes to send thousands of migrants, at the moment Rwanda only has the capacity to take a few hundred.”

That’s for £240,000,000 uk investment + a further £164,000 per person sent to Rwanda.

Rwanda can currently only support 100 people, that is an actual fact.

Honestly, this governments lies are making fool out of you.

So where are we on OFCOM.

It doesn’t matter, but some how knocked 10p off the share price or does actually matter.

Reading the press reports, OFCOM I think are angry about inflation? & seemed surprised inflation increases prices, but they don’t think this should apply to telecoms?

It’s very strange for it to be okay until inflation increased.

Be careful Rodders - he is a sicko stalker. Not respecting people’s privacy is very likely tip of an iceberg!!! I wouldn’t want you to poison that beautiful soul of yours!!!

Nige - note was a joke. It’s been done many, many times by all kinds of governments.

It’s really sad you fall for that nonsense and let it shape your opinion.

Don’t want to buy a bridge?

Oh of course. People come to the uk to put rubbish on streets of Sheffield.

Makes sense……. Poor old adolf missed that one, he should have pointed that out to the residents of Berlin.

Poker - its share time again. Your answer is not a reflection of what is going on.

UK or any other country doesn’t take that long to process immigration, the delays in Uk are through incompetence or manufactured (take your pick)

Channel crossing happen because their are no other options, all removed by these lunatics, this country does not play its part.

Schools, hospitals blah blah all under funded. & BTW not over used by these people

Uk courts for all hearings not just immigration have been cut off at the knees, they are an under funded mess

This government isn’t quietly probing the courts and changing their policy to meet legal obligations, it has started off with illegal and cruel legislation.

Are you aware asylum seekers have no way back once shipped to Rwanda? It’s not for processing, it’s to hand over these people to Rwandan immigration, it hands over full responsibility.

Do you know Rwanda will only ever handle 100 people. For all that money?

Have you seen uk immigration figures, small boats are the least of your worries.
