Doom & gloom, The end of the world is nigh. Cheer up you sad lot. It beats moaning & groaning. The 1st rule of investing is, If you can't afford to lose, don't invest. Just stop bloody moaning, sell up, & go away please. Vodamoaners. Good moaning!! ALO. ALO. & Good bye!
Rob Thanks for your sensible advice, but some might say that the time to sell is not when the sp is falling, but to buy before the bounce back. Who knows. But yes we need 70 + Not sure what you meant by LTI was about to answer you, but kev beat me to it? L.T.I. lives in fantasy world where vod will just keep rising. What ever he is on, I wan't some, but we all know that may not happen, but I am sticking with vod because you never know, he may be right? Or 1/2 right will do for me. But seriously, I think you should buy premium bonds, you lightweight!! Always listen to your wife? But then do the opposite? Joking of course.
KevRow. You say sadly the sp will just drop by the divi amount. There is nothing sad about it, it is how if works, otherwise you would have a fake price. Why do many on here still not get the fact the sp has to fall by the divi amount on ex divi day, It is just common sense.
"An investment in vod at current price would return an income of 5.7% in 4 months time" But the share price will drop by that amount on ex divi day. I am very possitive about vod, but L.S.I. is just talking rubbish. I hope the sp will rise, but it may not. Please stop talking nonsense, because you are just feeding the negative posts on here. Rob's investment will not fall, because it does not have an ex divi day.
Rob. I get 4.5% in an instant access acc, but hoping for a higher return from the vod share price. You are doing your crystal ball thing again, so who knows if the vod sp will go up, or down? Not doing very well so far this week though. I assume you pay a fee for your cash i.s.a. I don't pay any fee for holding vod in my I.S.A. Good luck though Rob, hope you continue to make a good profit. Isn't the nationwide 4.5% limited to 1 year though?
The prediction is 4.5c paid in August this year, then 2.25c in Feb, & 2.25c in Aug next year. To be confirmed. Divi max however is predicting no reduction in the divi next year, but I am sure they are wrong. It looks like a rising share price is the only way we will make money on vod as the divi is less than you can get in a savings account.
Rob I think the buy backs are very good, but it is not a one way bet. As has been said before, if vod buy back shares at a low price & they go up that is obviously good, But that does not mean that it is good for the sp to stay low. This is basic common sense maths which may be sorely missed by many on here in there modern world, without there age related problems?!? sorry but
(I don't do this L.O.L. D.Y.O.R. .crap,) Just laugh & be happy, please.
Sorry rob, it is all my fault!? Your question to L.T.I. is so strange , we don't know, could be good, could be bad. Rob, You live by the crystal ball theory. Take it one day at a time rob, is my advice. I said. oh sorry, age related!
Rob, Sorry but i am still laughing at your alleged age related problem. This guy is something else.. Why do you take him seriously? What part of this guy is a nut case/ idiot don't you get? Of course we all all love you for being so nice?? but come on.. As for vod share buy backs, I think they are a very good idea. Have a good week mate.
KevRow. You sound like you are new to this game. What is click bait? (fishing ?) We all know that the motley fool is, as the name suggests, not be taken too seriously, just fools, they just want to sell you their products. I suspect, with respect, you have a lot to learn? But nice to get your opinion all the same. Cheers mate.
If vod buy back shares, they have to pay for them, so of course it comes out of the market cap, but if the sp rises because of that then the market cap is restored, or hopefully improved. This is all just common sense, so please just give us a break? You don't get anything for nothing. So move on please?
20yr return +75% = A.P.R. 2.85% So not great. It is impossible however to work out the return on vod over 20 years because of .the complex nature of the verizon sale, share split, spec divs, etc. It depends what you did with the spec div, your verizon shares, mannesman, etc. etc. There is a lot of fake info out there about the historical vod share price, I know because I have extensive records of vod for most of the last 20 years or so. mannesman was very complex & a complete dissaster for vodafone.
