I realise sotonspike sounds like guttersnipe, but although he can be funny?! We should not encourage him/her/it. (by his own confession). Cheers mate. I am still waiting for that drink you offered me a long time ago? I turned at that pub you said, but you were not there!
Biskit. You almost certainly would be well down. The maths is very complex however. As for the deal being good, that is a different question. If you had bought at anything below £2 before the verizon deal you could have sold at about 2.48 just before the deal, or after the deal for about 1.30 per original/2.48 per new share taking in to account the roughly 4 to 7 share swap. This share swap loss in shares was compenseted by free verizon shares & special divi/payout so a good profit, & had you sold the vod shares but kept the verizon shares for about 5 years then sold, you would have a made very good profit. Verizon shares are about the same now as when the deal was done, but as we all know vod shares have collapsed by over 2 thirds. But this is history, so it is the future that counts, can the sp get back to £2 plus, who knows but it would be a quantum leap. Good luck to all vod shareholders.
By the way Gary, as the I.S.A. limit is £20K to £25K you won't see me on the list. But Please wish me luck with my modest purchase? Have a good week, & let's keep it freindly. Cheers mate. Rob, 86p will do me for the time being,as long it doesn't mean you will sell & stop posting on here, we all need your calming influence!
Last time I was in a nut house they wore white coats, but it is just a saying. As for this forum, I think I prefer your mad, gutter posts than the latest crazy L.T.I. posts. At least you could be funny at times, so all though you are both crazy, you have to laugh at the end of the day. G.S. Have you ever considered talking in plain English so we might all think, you might be quite intelligent, or would that spoil your image?? Give it a try? Big challenge for you I know??
L.S.I. If you have seen it a 100 times before then listen, get help before it is to late. This is not a help line for people with mental problems. Ok so you have to be mad to buy vod shares? But joking apart, you need help, so I wish you well. Good luck & good bye.
Thanks rob.. We all know he is complete nut case, but I think we should all be carefull to get are facts right. I think on the up side the gutter snipe has gone a bit quiet lately, I suspect he is gobsmacked by L.S.I. who beats all the village idiots on here ever sense I have been a vod shareholder. He even beats my old mate M***** by a long, long way. I do think KevRow should accept he is the winner in his constant feud & just move on. We all know L.S.I. is a complete moron, so time to move on. Happy Monday?!
Rob, All respect to you, you clearly have a better way of saying things than me. Your last post about L.T.I. is exactly what I have been saying for while now, so thanks for that. Yes he clearly has a mental issue, & at least the gutter could be funny at times? No No No. go away gutter!! Have a good week rob. Wish me luck on Monday with my top up..
Hi rob. I realise the vod divi is being cut next year, but as I have often said I have confidence in the vod bod, & of course the lower the divi, the less the ex divi drop. Still a 5% yield at todays price, but it is a rise in the share price that I think is likely. Try to ignore all the nonsense L.T.I. is going on about. I think he is cracking up, waiting for the men in white coats I think. He sounds like a demented parrot!
Fleccy. You are a breath of fresh air. At last someone is talking sense. I am not for or against buybacks, but I think the vod bod know what they are doing, & clearly more than the new kid on the block A.K.A. L.T.I. does. It is just common sense that you can not buy back 4billion euro of shares without having to pay it. Of course if the vod sp goes up after the share buy backs then the market cap may even rise, & I hope it does. Thanks mate.
