Obviously a very good day for the vod sp, after being about £1 in the morning, but there is always one(or two)who can only ever see the negative? Very strange. Of course it may all go tits up, then be negative.

Gary. If Mr Read splashed out 150 million on my family finances, I would say thank you very much!! No pleasing some?

nuri123a. You would be up £875 if you had bought your £25k. Sorry to point that out.

I went 105.1 by the way. Thanks....

robleo. Definitely a buy at 1.01. & still a buy at current price I think. Not that I am buying as I don't have any spare money as it all went on vodafone at 1.15 plus, but I wont be selling. I can't see these going sub £. Of course a lot at the moment depends on this possible merger, & no doubt we will get the usual (armchair expert) nonsense from some on this forum, but of course we have to leave this complex matter to the vod b.o.d. to see if the deal is a good one. If it is good accept it, if not reject it. Simple, because the V.O.D. board of course knows far better than all the posters on here put together.

Looks like a lot of you are going sub £1. Perhaps to prevent this happening vod should do a pound shop, & make the shares smaller, so they can still sell them at a pound? Never thought I would see rob go for under a £. I am getting that Monday morning feeling already, even though I am retired!

CSDI. Come on amigo, are you not tempted to buy vod at this bargain price,& dump your other rubbish shares? I am also crap at picking shares, but not as bad as you? Surely?

But why? If you have got the balls, fill your boots. Vodafone are obviously way under priced, but they are very risky, because of massive debt. Don't buy if your cant afford to lose, but do buy if you want to win.

I thought if I get in 1st, I might win for a change, so I will go 105.1 Good luck. We all need it. Thanks Roofer.

Hi rob. Yes, I guess it beats hitting the bottle? How are your non vodafone shares doing? I hope you are doing better than me. Can vod stay above the dreaded £1 ?

I am glad I am not heavy in to politics. (armchair politics). It's like listening to a lot of squabbling kids, or football supporters even? At least M.P's are better informed? Shoot the ref?

Padd1 I didn't vote for Brexit, but it happened, so why keep banging on about it. Time to move on. Please stop being so negative. They only way out of this mess is to be positive, not negative.

Sorry moniman, Wrong man? mole not moni.

Sorry moniman but I beg to differ. The tulip bubble as you call it may have started off as an asset bubble but became a classic ponzi scheme, where people bought tulip bulbs simply to sell them at a profit, for much more than there obvious real value. Not that I was around at the time,but that is what I have been led to believe. The new buyers of tulip bulbs (the bigger fools)were needed to pay the existing bulb owners. (the smaller fools). Another Classic ponzi scheme is Bitcoin of course. Nothing like vodafone , because vodafone shares have a real value as you own part of a company. You of course may think vodafone shares are over priced, but to describe them as a ponzi investment, is as you well know complete nonsense. Over valued perhaps, but not ponzi. For vodafone to be a ponzi scheme the shares would need to priced at about 100+ times there real value, but if the sp kept rising, more people would still invest & sell at an even higher price.. Having said that, the whole stock market, banks, insurance companies, fiat currency,only survive because of new money being pumped in, to pay out on demand, so by your simple definition, they could all be described as ponzi schemes. If everybody wanted to take there money out of a bank at the same time, the bank would collapse. It is all about what assets are behind the investment. With Bitcoin, there is nothing. With tulip bulbs not a lot, but with vodafone a vast amount of course.

moniman. I agree, so how about some positive comments from you, instead of just living up to your name moni man! I am, as you know, only joking, & also find the B.B.C. news a bit of a joke now days with it's P.C. woke agenda, but still much better than some of the fake rubbish, you can get on social media? You all can just instead listen to the wise words of me, or moniman of course??!! By the way, we used to say roke, but now you have to say woke! as in Johnathan Woss instead of Johnathan Ross! B.B.C. broadcasters , A bunch of rankers. I reckon the singer in only fools & horses singing cwying, started it all off? Dell boy would turn in his grave!! Sowwy if I have a offended any Wossers out there. I like J. Ross by the way, but I think we should at least twy, sowwy try to teach our children to pronounce the letter R correctly.

moniman. "they'd have been rounded up & shot during WW2 for being traitors" If we were a communist country like Russia, or a fascist country like Germany, then they would have been, but although I agree with your original point, fortunately we don't live in a dictatorship country. Less doom & gloom, yes, A dictator ship media, no. You can always switch of the telly?

Hi rob. Are you talking about Putin, or both of them? It would take a very brave man to fire Putin. Where is Rambo when you need him?

Cheers Cheapshareboy. But why use bitcoin which you can only" buy real stuff on limited websites" (your quote) When you can buy anything you want with fiat currency. $. £ etc. When I say bitcoin is worthless, I mean as an investment, because it will (as all ponzi investments do) Eventually be worthless. As a currency though, it is only any good to criminals, & those who want to hide there dodgy dealings. In case anybody didn't get the tulip bulb reference, this is considered to be the 1st ponzi scheme, ( A.K.A. Bigger fool theory). People were buying tulip bulbs just to re sell them at a higher price. They were paying silly money for the bulbs because they were fools, but if they then then sold them at a higher price to a bigger fool, they made a profit. Let's hope though we vod investors are not fools? Only time will tell.

It makes me laugh how some people's reaction to everything is just resign. The only person who should resign is Putin!

Thanks Gary for your reply. I was, & still am anti brexit by the way, but I don't think brexit has much to do with the run on the £ against the dollar, £ against the euro perhaps, but not against the $. as that is more to do with the strength of the $ against the euro & the £, mainly because of Russia, which has made the dollar the safe haven currency. Have a good week, & cheers.
