CM You bought at 1.39 & the sp has fallen 2.5 p. Ahh, poor you. You are clearly in the wrong game, go back to playing snap.

Who talks a pile junk? Speak for yourself.

"I would be happy with a 6% yield if the sp increased back to 2.33" Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end?! If only? Happy days! ?.

Djones21476. The vod sp is up, but not by much over the last month. How is that a downward spiral??

Deutsche Bank reiterate £2.68 target price. I read however that they are Global strategic telecoms partners for vodafone? So are all there broker ratings just bias? The usual (rent a cynics), need not reply!! Constructive replies only please!

Can anybody make any sense out of H-hi's post, because I can't. Total nonsense? What is he suggesting vodafone do??

Nice rise since 10.40 when RNS. 5G trials news came through. Just hope the rise continues tomorrow.

Gerry Hi, Sorry if I am repeating the the same point, But to me, Investing in a high yield, high income share like vodafone, only to re invest the divi seems like folly! They pay you a divi, (which you may pay tax on) unless in an ISA. You then re invest, paying stamp duty, spread & dealing costs. Logically it makes no sense. Why don't they just keep the money(divi) in the 1sp place? As you surely know, every time a divi is paid, the sp will fall by that amount. The whole point of investing in a high yield share (like vod) is to get an income? Isn't it??!!. Then again, if your point is that you only re invest your divi if the the sp keeps falling, then you might have a point, but only if the falls are fake? & you know the sp will recover. of course all this time you are re investing your divi, you are hoping the divi wont collapse.

moniman "Just sack them all,& get some robots" Brave new world?! Just hope we have Arnie on our side! I'll be back?

Gerry, with respect, may I point out that the N.H.S. is made up & run by normal people, normal people are not 100% efficient, far from it, so why do we always expect everybody else to be perfect, when most of us are far from it ourselves.

And there was me just starting to praise some of posts, but then you start having a pop at the government!! Never mind I am still very interested in your non political opinions, so please keep them coming.

I think the most confusing thing about divi yield is that when it gets very high it is considered no longer affordable, but why is a 5% vod divi yield when the vod sp is £2.60 any more affordable than a 10% divi yield when the sp is £1.30. O K if the vod sp falls the yield goes up. So some think the divi yield (non affordable) is too high & sell, sp falls, yield rises, & so on. Of course its a bit more complicated than this,& the divi comes out of the sp at ex divi day, But vod can afford to pay a 5% divi at an sp of £2.60. So that is why I & all the sensible brokers I.M.O. go £2.60.

" Why don't they borrow tons at these low rates, & buy vod shares at 10%" A very good question, & it all boils down to the risk factor. Vod doesn't have a cast iron guarantee that it can always borrow at such lower rates. Lets all hope Longish is right, & they can keep borrowing at low rates into perpetuity. Sounds a bit risky to me, but I owe money at 3 to 4 %, but choose to hold vod at about 5% divi based on what I paid, but 9% at current levels. On reflection I made the wrong call.

I am really baffled by Longish's apparent opinion that vod's massive debt is irrelevant.I am surprised you haven't challenged him on this? or am I missing something here. Of course if you have a guaranteed endless loan guarantee at a lower rate than you can re-invest at, then of course it's not a problem, but if that was the case for vodafone, the sp would be double the current price. I thought you of all, realised this & the possible folly of high borrowing to service a high divi. I don't disagree with longish saying that vods current strategy is the right one, but to say vod's debt can safely be held in perpetuity is surely a bit over the top?

I am confused by your last post, where you say "If vods only obligation is to shareholders, then paying back debt is paramount" But you then move on to suggest that not paying back debt would be good for the share price & dividends. With respect, surely a contradiction?

OFAH. I don't think you would get much for re mortgaging in Nelson Mandela House. But lets hope for a big rise for vod tomorrow. Lovely Jubbly.

Char, Tidaay i staartid ats abat 1.30 wern ther big falll, thin agin at 2 ta cerbrate the big rizz. Cherzzz, Yorz rounnd.

I applied for 3449 excess shares with hargreaves & got 1500, so more than I thought, but I don't know why. I have just sold them for 136.96 About £92.50 profit after dealing costs. So not bad.

Pokerchips, Sorry if appear picky, but a 5% yield only applies to those who buy at 1.30, not the vast majority of existing vod shareholders, who will get a lot less, so I think,with respect, to quote 5% is misleading.

You can't beat a jack & coke to cheer you up when the the vod' sp is diving!
