Hey pound I know all that thanks, I’m ahem on the coal face as it were. Fact stil remains this equipment has passed all the security checks and investigations & been certified as such. If the argument is political (I think what I said) or political commercial (which I think I said). Then that’s different, Huawei powers core networks all over the place, there’s no instruction to not use it, which there would be if these investigations showed a problem..... surely.

Huawei equipment has been signed off & certified by GCHQ & other security expertise. The vast majority of this confusion is sponsored by America and American interests.

Bummer

That’s not RPI / CPI is it?

That’s a ridiculous drop so far today.

Market up, BT so down, it’s followed this pattern recently. Not 3.3%. 3.3 pence.

Sounds good !!

Thank you (again)

My guess is there’s no news, just pent up dollars in the American market..... maybe ?

I notice Vodafone & BT shares carry on sharing a similar share price track

Garp I don’t think it’s the same thing... money spent trying to reduce ongoing costs probably makes sense, I don’t know the legal costs, but I do know financial press are estimating a change from RPI to CPI will knock between £1 & £3bln off the pension calculation & recalculating life expectancy to allow for the life expectancy no longer increasing could halve the calculation. Can argue the rights and wrongs all day, but the current deficit is a major issue for BT and is getting in the way of everything. (Have avread about GMC). & as for the share price drop over last couple of years, I agree in part, but it’s never quite that easy is it. If BT stands still with relying on legacy network it will be left behind, any change carries risk, the market is crowded, BT hasn’t managed to carve out a clear future.

Well Garp, if you feel like that, sell your BT shares and stop benefiting from by your own standards ....... hopefully you will apply same standards to your other investments. I however have a slightly less sensitive “preaching threshold”, wheteby if I actually Thought it was out of order or out of line with what has already been established as legitimate. I would also choose my audienceca bit better and would also make sure I communicated the fact my portfolio was fully vegan & had handed back any gains.

I’m an invester Garp........ & there are no certainties in this world. It still remains a good pension

I wish that was true!!! I’m consumed by the RPI / CPI court case, I can’t believe it takes so long, I don’t know whether to read a delay as increasing or decreasing the chances of a good result.

Have I missed something? Big sells out of hours Friday and a strong rise this morning

We all need to ask ourselves. Better to hold on to our BT shares hoping they might be a safe haven or sell everything to wait and see ? Even I’ll sell everything soon, because I can’t see any way the markets will keep stay sane

Hey FM that’s a pretty poisonous world view you have there, probably not good for you as much as anything. Of course it can’t be entirely true for every manager, otherwise that company couldn’t possibly exist any more. I’ve been fortunate most managers I’ve worked for have been good, but I’ve had some bad & seen other areas with a string of bad, but I’ve also worked along side good and bad. Over the years I’ve had to concede managerial work is a bit like politics for those not in it, everything seems so easy on the outside when you take out responsibility, budgets etc etc etc

Great, but where is the RPI / CPI decision ?

Fusion I’m not sure I can buy into your analysis? For a start a 5G router replacing fibre would still interface with your home equipment with Wi-fi so there’s no change there at all. For gamers one of the big advantages of 5G is Avery low latency & finally 5G is looking like a connection of several Gig, this is enough speed.

Thanks Pound
