" falling more or less in line with the markets as far as I can see"
I suggest you get glasses. These share has fallen 35% since the beginning of the year.
THAT IS A LOT MORE THEN LESS!!!!
Good point NDNICoo
I don't know about interest rates rising The massive falls in banks does actually suggest that there is a possibility of a housing crash just around the corner. Or is this all a result of a conspiracy of the marketmakers?!!!
Velo,
You must admit that TOFF does add colour to this bulletin board. No way will I block him. I am just not sure to which character in Yes Prime minister he is most like, or am I being unfair to Capt Mainwaring.
WE HAVE BEEN RUMBLED BY THE BRILLIANT TOFF!!!
It is time for me confess. Velo, Lamtree, Gollom, dofe, longterminvestor and poundshare are all my aliases. And as you all guessed I am a market maker. Fleccy is another one off my aliases. I use my fleccy alias to encourage all of you to invest in BT come whatever. (you must admit as Fleccy I am really convincing.) Thank god Toff has blocked all my aliases so he has no idea about all my conspiring and manipulating. LONG LIVE THE MARKET MAKERS!!!
Fleccy,
If you really believe Toff's rubbish about the MM's why are you investing at all. What makes you think that in 10 years time the shares will go up. Do you believe that in 10 years time all the MM's will be quarantined? According to your logic (rather Toffs logic) that everybody is just being manipulated by the MM's. Why the hell are you here rather then in a betting shop?. Toff's excuse is he was booted out of the city but what is your excuse. Fleccy you are much better then that!
BT is supposed to be a defensive stock. One would have reasonably expected that BT would have fallen less then the general market. BT fell from 157 to 140 that is more then the markets fall. IF anything CVID should have benefited BT.
H-hi
"I thought Toff was a smart guy that knew how the big guys work."
I actually know Toff. Toff actually has worked with the big guys, but that was before they found out that he was not all that smart and discarded him. Now you can understand and sympathise his anger against the Marketmakers!!!
BoBetts,
"I have it on good authority Mt Jansen has developed a cure and will be selling it for £1000 per person."
Bo Betts, your starting to sound like Toff.
The truth is that there are tens if not hundreds potential cures which are being developed around the world. Many of them are already going through clinical trials. The problem is that it will still take many many months for any of them to get approval. The trillion dollar (not $64000 or million dollar) question is can we afford that time.
H-hi
" so why can’t BT borrow money at close to benchmark rate to fix pension."
Do you really want to know why BT can't borrow money at close to benchmark rate?
When was the last time you checked BT's credit rating? BT's rating is "BBB" just one notch above JUNK. Any increase in BT's debt is gonna be way way above benchmark.
It is just a question of time for major failures in the airline and tourist industry. One can only imagine the nightmare an backlash this will cause on the financial markets particularly banks.
Dofe,
Be warned next thing he will be telling you is that you live in a council flat and attended a comprehensive. Just ignore him. Toff is an arrogant little englander. He is totally out of touch with the present and a throwback to colonial times. His understanding of market dynamics is very limited and everything is down to marketmakers.
Lets take the banks its his belief its all down to the marketmakers. I do not want to sound alarmist but if CVID-19 gets worse its impact on the airlines and tourist industry will be catastrophic which will threaten the viability of the banks.
Somebody tell TOFF thats there is a very logical reason why marketmakers are pricing them down and its not just a silly conspiracy theory.
