Velo,
Than you very much. All what you have said makes a lot of sense. I have always thought that cutting the dividend is neither here or there. The reason I picked the figure of £2 was based purely on yield. If investors will feel that a 7.8 p dividend is secure I think they will value BT at £2 plus.
Due to the current COVID outbreak BT and Openreach are implementing far reaching strategic changes. With immediate effect BT and OR will now be only sending out a single van with one operative to carry out routine repairs. They have recognised that the former practice of sending out 4 vans with 2 operatives to minor repairs might have been a cause of the spread. As this is only temporary the unions have insisted that operatives are still called employees rather then the insulting derogative term of worker.
Which fool is totally invested in one market? I guess that is a rhetorical question. There seems to be many on here who are not only invested in the UK but are totally invested in BT, Lloyds, Centrica lol.
Serious investors should be well diversified and invested globally. They should also have some property investment as part of their portfolio. That is just my opinion it is something that has in the past worked for me. In regards to the future that only god knows!!!
Interesting 3 months ago the market was expecting a 20-25% dividend cut now we are talking 30-35%. In my opinion it should have been cut 2 years ago by 50%. With a 50% cut BT will still be yielding 6.5%. I believe that would build investors confidence in management and the share price will respond positively. I can then see the share price going up to £2 in a relative short time. At £2 BT would still have a healthy 3.8% yield. Velo I would be interested in your view.
In regards to BT's future a lot was depending on today's budget. Lets hope that the current turmoil does not delay anything. That the shares are marked sharply up suggests that some people already might know what is in todays budget.
Smasher,
I was not talking about day trading or short term holders. From the comments of most contributors on this BB it would seem that the vast majority invest for the medium or long term. There may have been a single period of 3 months that you would have been lucky to have made a profit. However on most 3 month periods you would be nursing a loss. If you had invested 3 months ago you would be showing a 40%+ loss. It has also fallen 50% more then the rest of the market in the present Corona Virus crisis.
Velo,
Toff is 100% right you come on here talking about pe, roe, oversold, undersold, debt and all that boring rubbish. When it can all be said in one word. MARKETMAKERS,
Its one answer to all societies ills.
BTW its the MARKETMAKERS who are to blame for the spread of CVID-19.
