Rob. Nobody is calling anybody an idiot for saying the share price will go down, why do you keep saying that?. We are calling them idiots for talking complete repetitive & sometimes illiterate rubbish. Of course the share price can go down, I have never called mole-man an idiot. We all know who the real idiots are.
Garonne. My average is a lot higher than the ex divi price & your average price, but it is not a con. Don't invest if you can't except you may lose. Vod has been a bad investment in the past, fact, but not a con, Just stop moaning/groaning about it.
Garonne. If you want to groan Garonne that is ok with me, but at least get your facts right. The vod sp pre ex divi was 74.92, & it is now 69.30, a loss of 5.62p. That is about 1.5 x the divi, not 3x, so a net loss of 0.5 the divi. Not good, but please don't talk fake news.
Garonne. The answer is probably no. Nothing to do with institutional investors dumping there shares, why would it? A bad finish today though, which is worrying, forget U.T's, they are meaningless, it is just an auction for miss matching of shares on s.e.t.s.
Rob, If someone loses money on the stockmarket it does not make them an idiot. The real idiots are those who invest, but don't accept that they may lose money, & those who come on share forums, just to mock those who are losing money.
It looked like jax was the runnerway winner for the complete vod share chat idiot, but then the man from the gutter returns to give jax a run for his money. It's a close call? Votes in by 12pm Monday please, I hope roofer will adjudicate.
Mole_man. Do you find maths hard? If you re-invest your divi & the sp continues to fall, of course you compound your losses, but if you re-invest your divi & the sp recovers, then you compound your profits, it's not hard!
Hi rob. Yeh, My opinion is, it could go up, or could go down. I don't know, so I will hold. Nobody on here knows. If they did, they would be far too rich to waste there time, posting on this forum. The price is very low, I agree, so I think it should go up, but if the market says otherwise, who knows? If you want the premium service, you have to pay extra! Have a good one Amigo.
Longtimeinvestor "the % saved on dividends would be far greater than the % interest paid on debt" That means the % interest paid on debt would be far less than the % saved on dividends. So you seem to be saying, keep paying the divi because the % paid on debt is far lower. Or are you getting a bit confused? To divi, or not to divi, that is the question?
