‘This trash of a stock should be delisted’….that’s not quite how the system works. Perhaps having made such a strong statement you’d like to back it up with some reason and rationale, assuming it’s not just personally motivated.
Aus- hope you’re ‘hopes’ for your investment strategy are correct, hope your concerns about management are incorrect.
Larry- reference your comment on bid then down to gov and mergers; think you’ve called it right but should a negative outcome result from bid review we can look forward to the SP being suppressed for ever after. Having said that, if positive (which I doubt) could turn into a great watch as bidding progresses.
Great post by expat earlier. However you look at it the SP is well low and massively sensitive to the slightest rumour.
The people running the business keep taking the big bucks but the guys they work for, i.e. us, continue to see our investment eroded. BT either needs to be free to thrive in the open market or it might as well be a government bond.
I just don’t get the ‘hold for ever, keep re-investing’ mindset that leads to the ‘lower SP is good’ justification. It may make people feel more secure because they have increasing number of shares but for me it’s about getting as much out as possible and enjoying life today.
‘Sensitive stuff’ will not always be constrained to the BT network, however most likely they will be responsible for storing and encrypting it. I’m sure there’s a very lucrative contract involved but frankly if it comes at a cost of being a ‘constrained’ business can’t help wondering if it’s worth it from a share holder perspective.
I understand the rationale as to why BT ‘couldn’t’ be taken over (in its current form) but if that is the reality of things why is it being traded on a ‘free market’ where other companies.
It’s effectively a rigged deck.
I’m sure they can see that and I’m sure the analysts understand it even better.
The maths on those specifics isn’t hard to do. The question is, alongside other dynamics that might play out in the interim and alongside, is the market waiting to move or do they think all things considered there is not going to be a significant value shift.
The last one’s the big one for me.
Hamstrung by regulation. No real chance of an external bid being ‘allowed’, meaning true value achievable in a ‘free market’ is not realised.
For and ever and a day ‘supporters’ have been giving reasons why it will fly one day but the reality is it always gets held back. If you’re in it for income, ok. For gain, not unless the world changes shape.
Pseudo utility share.
don’t be uncomfortable using the term *** roddy. even though the word has effectively been hijacked from its original meaning it’s not a derogatory term and avoiding it makes you sound repressed.
can you clarify the point of your proposed circle and how you will prevent it from deteriorating in to the form of a hexagonal before i commit to your cause please.
