How do I delete people who send messages that are more related to knocking peoples opinions than reviewing BT?

This is the first time I have ever seen a note from Motley Fool that is positive for BT. I assume it must be a first.

Thank you fleccy providing interesting information that potentially affects how BT will perform in the future. I always read your posts with interest. Best wishes to all at this Christmas time and may BT go from strength to strength in the New Year.

I have just read the first message from the Motley Fool that is positive for BT. Strange how they now back up what the optimists on this board have been saying for years. They now say that fair value is now about £4. Wonderful !!!

I have just read on Yahoo finance that ChatGPT has suggested the 5 safest stocks to invest in now on the London Stock Exchange. BT was one of the five. However, Motley Fool has taken it upon itself the discuss this report. Lo and behold they did not agree with the ChatGPT review and spouted all the things they have been saying for years to put people off investing in BT. Is this the main reason for the current sell off today???

BT damned with faint praise again. Why does anyone take any notice of them -- he has been wrong for at least a year.

Hi Fleccy, thanks so much for the full explanation as to how leaseback affects the total loan costs.

Hi Fleccy I always follow your comments with interest and I seem to remember that the debt includes costs associated with selling and leasing back buildings. Is that right? I note that again the Motley Fool is damming with faint praise and then saying don't buy.

Anyone see the downbeat Motley Fool comment over the weekend when they stated BT had an accounting problem in Italy of about £500million. I thought that was done and dusted a few years ago. Surely it can't be another problem there?

Thankyou expatwelsh for the website information it was very interesting. I hope if anything is done that in addition to the people in the PPF situation it addresses people like me who only have discretionary increases which did occur up to 2005. Then as I indicated almost 20 years with no increase except the 2% in 2011.

Fleccy , I thought I would just confirm what you indicated regarding pensions taken before 1997. I am now 85yrs old and took my company pension in 1995. As a result I have had no increases since 2005, that's nearly 20 yrs without an increase (except for 2% in 2011). I am a long time investor in BT and believe it should do well in the next few years. I rely on investments dividends to get by and help my family a bit. There seem to be no organisation that is pushing for us very elderly pensioners who are supposed to get discretionary increases but get nothing.

Most of the messages I get are now filtered. Could we please get back to only talking about BT and what is happening and the future.

Just tried to understand what the RNS means quoting Morgan Stanley increasing voting rights. I think it means they have confidence in BT and are buying more shares. Could that be right?

Can anyone make sense of why BT share cannot move forward. Every time anything is reported it seems to be always bad for the share price. Even when they report they are going to be able to reduce the workforce by 1000's in future years because the fibre building will be ending, it seems to be construed as a bad thing for the share price.

Does anybody know why the price dips every morning at about 10 am

Can anybody work out why all the Brokers have stopped rating BT? Maybe they don't know any more than we do. discuss.

Hi thanks Velo for such a detailed analysis. I wish I had someone like you to analyse all my investments.

Thanks for comments. So why doesn't BT get some polling going to offset all this talk from Government and Ofcom about how necessary it is to put all this expensive optical fibre in place for everybody.

Anyone know whether there has been any polling to indicate whether people will be prepared to pay the higher prices for the higher speeds for fibre optics to the home? I'm retired and live alone and the 20 Mb speed I get provides everything I need -- downloading films from Netflix etc. I'm sure my current speed would suit many families.
