The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
BT has been moving up and down in what has been a volatile market since the pandemic begin, one day its up 2-3p then its down 2-3p with little to no logic.Relax , put simply 8p div will equate to at least £2 and if 15p divs return in the next 4-5 years £4 -£5 is realist . I plan to happily collect my divs for 2021-2022 while at the same time safely netting myself a healthy profit in my ISA.
Easy money IMO.
The SP was at 1.38p early this morning .
Taking over BT then splitting up its assets would make 10's of billions.
The way this Pandemic has been handled Labour should be head and shoulders ahead in the polls ATM if they had simply promoted the opposite to what BJ was delivering , cos as it has turned out the exact opposite each time would have been exactly the right thing to do .This was a great opportunity for Starmer and he has screwed it up .
Its 3p subject to a shareholder vote in April.They are basically giving shareholders £350M equating to 3 pence per shareholder.
I don't know where the SP is likely to go in the short term but what i do know is BT is very cheap and very safe. which isn't really shorting material .

Its 5p capital distribution equating to 1p payout to shareholders for the full year and a £700m share buyback which is the equivalent to 4p.
If they needed to give their shareholders a dividend to enable them to payout their city wheeler dealers huge bonuses this year then 1p really was the absolute minimum they could have got away with.
This doesn't bode well for NWG or LLOY.
Their media arm is going to have to do something to adapt , a SKY Sports JV/merger would be advantagious for both parties
Agreed with the £1.60 but noticed MKS were @ £1.47 only about 2 weeks ago when the rest of the market was in hesitation ,which was bit head scratching ATT.
It might be slowly dripping back down again but the fact that it bounced back from 1.27 to above 1.40 so quickly tells you this one will have legs when the catalysts return .
And we are off to the races!
Nice bounce off 1.27, all highly predictable .
I couldn't buy more than 5000 at a time this afternoon but had no trouble dummy selling 50000 which is unusual given this is a FTSE 100 company.
LOL,There is no way this project will ever get off the ground, coal is not a good investment particularly green coal.
100% SELL
Not a share for the grandchildren.
Thanks and what exactly is the difference between G4 and G5 and will other competitors need to pay rent to use our G5 network in the same way they do for the landline?
I mean a package where everyone in the family / household has EE unlimited data mobile and BT broadband inc pos BT Sports.
ie an all inclusive package for the whole family
Does anyone know why BT haven't introduced a EE/broadband household package?
Great news , yes and in my opinion the global solutions to this pandemic were always going to come from the nation that buries its scientists along side its monarchs .Up until very recently we have been lead by a pussy footing dither who appears to have changed his spots by policing travel quarantining to the UK which is fantastic news for everyone living here.There is a very good reason why this has happened and its because they don't want the SA variant to become dominate here.
Also it is the Amazon P.1 variant that they are most worried about cos it started in Manuas an isolated city where residence had gained herd immunity from the first wave but today are all dropping like flys , which suggests all present vaccinations might not be very effective against P.1.
I have set google to email me every time P.1 is mention everyday on the internet and it has gone form 6 times globally last weeks to over 100 times yesterday which suggests singular case scatterings are being discovered worldwide.Swab analyst testing around the world is at present not to UK standards , for example Portugal believes their increased death and hospitalisations rate is attributed to the UK variant , which is shocking .
10 years ago after MERS was contained and eliminated the Oxford lab knew it would eventually reappear in a new formate and so scientifically guessed the mutation pattern. They had a 30% chance of guessing it right and incredibly 2 years later when SARS first appeared their vaccination worked immediately ,which is why SARS at the time barely made the news and most people can't even remember it.
When the virus returned this time around it was its contagiousness that caught everyone out.A very clever mutation from the previous SARS .
The Oxford lab and its processes were developed for this very moment and are ATM not only in the process of adjusting the vaccination to be resilient to these new variants but are also guessing which way the variants will change again and so are developing vaccinations for variants that haven't even happened yet.
Worth noting it would appear that every 200 million times the virus infects people a variant develops , meaning 20% of people or higher in France who don't take up the offer of a vaccination may be attributing to the speed of further variants in the future .
The good news is Oxford will be by this time next year ahead of the curve by having multiple vaccinations ready for virus changes that haven't even happen yet.
Its just annoying to get so close to the finishing line then Boris takes it away from you to give it to the same people he has spent the last 3 years trying to divorce .
