Xxx. I think you are right & their share buys are a very good sign. Your pension dash for cash though sounds a bit supprising if you don't mind me saying so as you sound quite bullish. I would not want to be out of the U.K. stock market at the moment as I think it is catch up time. Of course I have been wrong in the past, so who knows. Have a good week.
XxxAccountant. If they are on£1million, £1/2 million after tax, then as a proportion of annual income my investment in vodafone based my income of about £25k is about 4 times as much as there £1million investment. It is not that much, but a good sign of course. I am sure it is peanuts compared to the value of there house. Keep up the bullish comments though please. Good luck.
Rob. A 70% return over the last 5 years sounds good, but are you including costs? If so, you have made about 12% A.P.R. Don't forget charges//costs though. Can it be that the U.K. will overtake the rest of the world?? Catch up time?? Anyway it sounds like you have done very well, so I hope you continue to do so.
Rob, I think we will see a big improvement this year, £1 by the year end is my prediction. The divi cut next year may be wise in the long run. I am even thinking of topping up after 5 April new tax year into an I.S.A. xxxAccountant sounds very bullish, I just hope he is right. I suspect though, the directors houses are worth far more than there recent investment's in vod shares. For a director in vod to invest £1 million is not a lot, but I wish them luck!
Rob, If the results in May are good, the sp will go up, if bad then down. We don't know what they will be like, so what more can we say? We can all guess of course. My wishfull thinking guess is good. I think what you need is a crystal ball. If you find one, let me know 1st.
Directors are not allowed to deal based on inside information not available to the general shareholders, but they can deal based on there interpratation of general rumours/info useing there expert knowledge of the business. These buys could be possitive, but they are not that big, so better than nothing I reckon. Nice to get back into the 70's
I intend to hold vod long term, but there is no way I don't want the sp to rise to £1 before the buy backs. Of course I want it to rise. There have many buy backs in the past, but they have not caused the sp to rise, so they may not this time, so it would be crazy not to welcome a rise to £1. Of course it would be nice if the sp fell to 10p, if it was guaranteed it would rise to £1 after the buybacks, but any rise is a good rise.
Hi Rob, I prefer there not to be a divi cut, but I am happy to leave that decision to the vod, b.o.d. I think if there is a divi cut,the sp will fall more than if the divi is held. I still think vod is way undervalued, but a divi cut will scare off a lot of investors, causing the sp to fall. As for name calling, I agree, a muppet living in a bed sit is just a pointless insult. I can remember when the banter on here was much better, but each to there own I guess. Have a good day muppet, sorry, I mean Amigo?!
Hello rob, hope you are well. I have just awarded you the prize for being the most tolerant person ever for your comment "He's just having a laugh & I don't see anything nasty about his comments" Isn't that taking tolerance a bit to far? Cheers mate. S.P. looking ok so far today.
