CSDI. Hi. Although I

Many on here & advfn chat complaining about getting divi late. Hargreaves seem to be fast, but I stopped using them, as they used to charge for holding in an I.S.A. & their dealing charges were higher than I pay. I pay no I.S.A. fees & 9.95 per deal, even if I only deal vary seldom. I got my divi's on Friday, but need to w/draw to bank /acc before re investing in my wife's I.S.A. After todays fall though, that may be a good thing. Although we have the usual rent a moaner's on here, the sp has held quite well since Ex divi & obviously very well since being on sale at the £1 shop, not that long ago. Of course you will always have some who are only happy when they are moaning!? Sad or what??

CSDI. I also hate doing a stop loss. I could easily have sold all my vod at £1. to stop losing even more than I was, but I,m very glad I didn't. Of course the sp could fall back to £1 though? I think the obvious rule is don't bet more than you can afford to lose, so if you are losing all you can afford, then you should bail out & stop losing more. I did set a stop loss a couple of years ago at about £1.20 & sold 5% of my vod holding for £1.23, but then changed my mind & bought back at £1.31.so that was a mistake, although I'm glad I bought back, (only just).

"Don't you just hate this pile of junk" NO. Of course not. If I did I wouldn't be invested here.

Mikey still predicting the sp will fall to match his I.Q. A long way to go yet.

mole. Well I don't think you are dumb money, so don't get a chip on your shoulder? Of course they are there to protect clients & hedge money, but some are greedy just like the rest of us, so don't pretend otherwise. Robin Hood is a fake & all those morons who thought the gamestop short squeeze was some kind poor mans rebellion are naive idiots. Or just greedy pump & dumpers. If the later, then good luck to them, because the former deserve to be taught a lesson!!! But all this nonsense aside, I want you to teach me how to be a profitable trader? Surely If you can do it, so can I ?? I hope though based on your comment "they lack imagination" that your success isn't just in your imagination?? Not suggesting it is of course?

mole_man. I have never used a fund manager,because there fees are too high. All I am saying is that if I could make a good living by managing others investments, I would do, & that would be far from a dumb thing to do. Perhaps if you can do as well,or better than these managers, you should become a professional. But in the mean time, I will just listen to your free expert advise if that's ok. As for me charting my own progress, that's simple,at the moment I am down. I might be a loser but I won't pretend otherwise, by calling these managers dumber than me. At least they get paid for it.

mole_man.Thanks for your reply, because I , as you know I always value your opinion, but I just think, to call sophisticated professional investors dumb, is pretty dumb. We can all be be dumb at times, but dumb as I may be, I wish I was a sophisticated professional investor. I know you are just having a pop,but you do your self no credit(clever & in profit as you might be)by your comment.

I have a lovely pair of vodafone shorts, in authentic vodafone style. Offers of £20 for a pair please. Or £10 for just one ,for one legged vod investors. Only one left, so apply now, so you don't miss out. We do have one right leg left as well.

If you believe everything you read on twitter then?????? If you really want to scare yourself about historical vod **** ups, look into vod buying mannisman (sic) for more than vod is, or probably ever will be worth. Its scary, but vod have made crazy errors in the past, but it was not the same then & investors thought it was a one way bet. Basically it is very cheap to use a mob now days ,perhaps too cheap, It's all very complicated,but to blame the hedge funds is (sorry to repeat myself) very, very, naive. Too much fake news on twitter & social media. Just listen to me instead!!!!!!!?? I think the management are doing the best they can in a very competitive market. I have held vod shares for well over 20 years, (wake up at the back, sorry if I am boring you) but (yawn) I can remember the days when we had a nutter by the name of last call, remember him anybody? He called us all telly tubbies, & predicted a massive fall in the sp from over £2 to much lower, it turned out he was right, but was he just lucky or mad clever? For me it is a long term(not so long now )investment. I think he Last Call, had a lot of instruments to guide him. I just hope this latest rise is due to basics & not twitter, or robin hood rubbish. £2 here we go. Hopefully?

Thanks patient, my post was meant as a joke as a life long anti twiddley device person. However, I may have to be reluctantly dragged into the post covid generation & go along along with it all, fighting all the way. As Bob Dylan said, The times they are a changing. But not while you are eating your dinner, or having a wee, mob in one hand, dick in the other, in public. etc. that's a no.no. for me. But of course for me, communication is King, however you do it. Hopefully eventually covid permitting, face to face. As Steven Hawking said, Just Keep Talking!

Smithy. Why do you say it is unbelievable that most shorts were when the sp was up in the 200s? I wish I had shorted vod when the sp was £2+ You make absolutely no sense at all. I remember when the sp was over £2 & it was a disaster when the sp plummeted. You really don't seem to have a clue about vodafone historically. Still, perhaps you are willing to learn??

Job vacancy for management position in advertising. Ok Patient you have got the job. I used to hate modern mobile phones, but even I am sold on a vod mob. I will buy one tomorrow.

mole, very interesting post, sounds like if you are right It's more of a way of raising the credit rating of vod than anything else. As for an excuse to raise more debt, ooh that's sounds risky, but, a big but, it sounds like he who dares, Who said vod is boring? No way, risky more like. But I think someone may have said that wisdom comes from the side lines, So do you think vod is a buy, as a small time vod investor. Sorry if I am wrong on that assumption.

I think you are being incredibly naive if you think that you & your band of merry men can take on the big boys. Perhaps they are just hedging (laying off). If a rich investor owns many millions of vod shares, he/she might want to lay off/ hedge some of that risk. Then again they may know something we don't, but come back from your fantasy Robin Hood land.

You say the only benefit, & you are of course your right, but reducing debt is very important in my opinion, as most of vods N.A.V. is intangible. Intangible N.A.V. can get wiped out very quickly. But it's a buy from me.

Come on you lot, how about a recommend for me then? CSDI GOT 4. & one was from me when I tried to hit report, but missed!

"Yea great CSDI", How dare you be happy, when I'm miserable all the time! Blame the yanks! Giving back1/2 the gains, Is that a glass 1/2 full, or a glass 1/2 empty?? What would deep thought say?? Ah 42. What was the question again? Sorry if Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is a bit before your time. I love it & it explains some of crazy humour. I got my divi, so there! You should use a decent broker, but I have to w/draw it as I am going to transfer it into my wife's I.S.A. so wont be able to top up until next week. Looks like my mate patient is making loads of penny's so we both wish him well, DON'T WE ??? As for Mikey, well, to you & patient's credit he does seem to be a little bit more responsive with your tactful posts. I guess my sledgehammer posts don't seem to work, but I love it! Oh I am wicked, I know. I am joking of course?????

Narcus. I think Mikey is in charge of paying out the divi's, so could be a while yet.

Narcus. I know Patient well & he is a very nasty short person, let him burn!!! He needs to be tarred & feathered!!! All those penny's add up you know!
