We don't need 100 posts on the same thing. Just RichThe (Know it all) Newbie's post. The rest of you can just go away!

Gary. "There is a very real risk that the dividend could be cut soon" This is just one persons opinion saying, it could be cut. Hardly conclusive? & of course we all know the divi COULD be cut. That doesn't mean it will be cut?

Gary. You say "Our highly paid b.o.d. remain silent" The b.o.d. are not allowed to leak information about a possible divi cut, but have to wait for the results day, later this month. But surely you knew that??

Hello Gary. I can't find any up to date info about a likely vod divi cut on google. Where did you find it, & what did it say please?

avocet. If you read the r.n.s. for 2 nov it explains why vodafone are buying back there own shares. It has nothing to do with covering the divi. I hope the divi isn't cut & can't find any info saying about a 50/50 chance of a cut.

Hello Newbie, (Pete) I almost got you confused with the new Newbie on the block? What a mistake to make? Sorry about that. He is a very strange person, nothing like you of course. I am still well under with vod, but will hold on. Best of luck.

licker. Troll is just one of those stupid trendy words, some use, for someone who disagrees with them.

Newbie642. You say you wish you had said nobody likes a moaner, Well I've have been saying it for ages, but get accused of moaning about moaning! Some on here just need to get a life?

RichTheNewbie. Not that you take any notice of my posts, which is up to you, but I have to agree 100% with your post at 9.06 today.

mole_man. Don't take any notice of Pfen, just coming out with his usual nonsense. We all wish we had bought shares in tesla instead of vod, but we didn't. Move on?! I don't like tesla by the way! Why can't you lot just stop moaning, & think positive?

Hello Umeed. In you post you mention huge valuable assets, such as land,buildings, vehicles etc that might be worth nothing in the company book. Are you saying then that these do not count as tangible assets? Vod's tangible asset value is very low, way below the share price. It's seems to be that the intangible value is what keeps vod going? Still at end of the day we just hope the market have got vod's value wrong & the brokers have got it right? Time will tell?

Thank's a lot for that Umeed. Would I be guilty of oversimplification to say, it's just a tax fiddle then?

Good day today, well beating the ftse. With an added bonus that Mikey got it hopelessly wrong! Only joking Mikey? Let's hope for a good run up to ex divi day. Could this time be the 1st time for a while, that the sp doesn't fall, after ex divi, by more than the divi.? Android's £1.50 will do me in the medium term. As for taking up accountancy? Well I think that may depend on if you want to sad & rich, or glad but poor?!

Hello s.i.d.i. The figure you quoted is adjusted for inflation, so not at all accurate. It just shows how much houses are less affordable now days.

Hello s.i.d.i. & umeed. s.i.d.i. I'm not sure where you get your house prices from, but I think the ave uk house price in oct 1988 was about £55k. I bought my house in aug 1988 for £110k. It was a new build so probably cost more than the average price in my area. It is now worth about £550k, but would be worth more if it was a new build. So perhaps this makes your point more valid. As for free cash flow, I think just read umeed's post. I think using f.c.f. for divi cover is a bit confusing, ideally profits (which tend to lower) should cover the divi. Perhaps umeed could explain the difference between the 2. Cheers & have a good day.

Hi robleo. Yes I thought I'd try to be civil to him, but you are clearly right, It's a waste of time. I think he is on another planet.

robleo. I think your post to Rich may have worked, as he has come out with some intelligent, informative posts since, & no more insults. I do however agree with Rich with regards to the drivel some post on here. Lets hope for a drivel free week, this week? Let's not take it too seriously though? Nothing wrong with a bit of banter? & most of us make spelling mistakes or typo's occasionally?

Paul. Divi cover. I think the point here is the divi is covered by free cash flow, but not by earnings. They are very different I believe, although I stand to be corrected? As for deb't, I think the most important thing is the % interest they have to pay on the deb't & in vod's case this is quite complicated. If vod borrows, but can get a higher return by investing it than the interest paid on it, then that could be good, but vice/versa, then very bad. Don't confuse vod's return % though with the 7% divi yield,as some on here do, they are completely different.

robleo. I agree of course, I am hoping for good results. As for DickTheNewdie, Well I suppose we can all make fun of a name, some ask for it? & some don't? But oh God isn't it so depressing being a vodafone share holder? The end of the world? Good luck Amigo.

Mikey68, Oh god, life is so depressing!!
