Thank you Mary for your explanation. "Not a day trader as a FC FTA. I am HTH" What the **** is that supposed to mean? Try speaking in plain English Please? You make absolutely no sense at all. But good luck trying, you may get there one day?

Thank you Mary. I am a long term holder of vodafone & don't day trade as Most day traders lose money, partly due to dealing costs & stamp duty, unless you are spread betting, & then of course we all know that the bookmakers you are spread betting with don't lose. I would love to learn from you, but all I have learnt from you so far is that you are just guessing. But good luck with your so called method. Whatever it is.

Mary. Can you please define the following. A spike. An uptick. Sorry but they are totally meaningless. How big a spike? How big an uptick? One day you might make sense? In the meanwhile good luck with your spikey upticks. Anybody can post on here about making money, a bit pointless though, if you don't tell us how you do it. We are all dieing to know.

Evanescent. Thanks for your reply. But how do you know when to sell & when to buy. I don't have a strategy, because I don't do day/short term trading. What is your strategy please? Is it just guess work? Good luck though.

Fleccy. I am glad to see that you not keen on bitcoin. I have been very anti bitcoin for a long time now, (Totally corrupt) but try not to think about it. Some years ago I had a C.F.D. account with I.G. index & shorted bitcoin on 3 occasions, The 1st time I won, but next two I lost my nerve & bailed out at a loss, the last time I shorted at £5 to the dollar. I closed my I.G. account but after bitcoin had reached over $80k I tried to re open an account, but the rules for C.F.D. trading had become far more stringent, & they deemed I was not experienced enough to trade Bitcoin C.F.D.'s. I intended to short bitcoin when they fell to about $78K for about £5 to the dollar or even more. So I wish I persevered more in trying to re open my account, as at £5 to the dollar, if I had held that position until now, I would be up by about £300,000. So probably my biggest ever regret financially, but I probably would have lost a lot of sleep, as the bitcoin market is almost 24 hours & wild swings were common. The problem with bitcion is that although they are basically worthless, & always have been, the market was very manipulated & was unregulated so the (whales) (big holders) as they were called, sucked in more investors making the price rise & then in concert with each other sold large amounts at a profit before anybody else had time to sell. Anybody you thinks the stock market is manipulated, It is nothing compared to bitcoin. Many investors have lost a fortune, so It's eventual collapse will be a good thing because it will stop more suckers getting drawn in. It is a mathematical fact that there will always be more losers than winners who buy bitcoin. That is not true of the stock market, although of course you can lose on the stock market, most investors win. Ok, not me perhaps, but most. Perhaps my day win come?

Evanescent. Buy on the dips & trim on the upticks. So where do I get this crystal ball Mary owns (if you believe a word she says) I have to agree with Narcus on that one, although of course averaging down can work. Anyway Narcus who is winning the vodafone downhill ski race? My money is on Mikey. A good day today though so far, a net gain of about 1.7p, O.K.big deal, but at least Mikey wont be doing his bloody yanks call today, as I believe the U.S. markets are closed?

mrcautious. Nick Leeson was not averaging down. He was a trader at Barings Bank in Singapore,& was able to buy a vast amount of shares, & then sell immediately on a different exchange, at a slightly higher price for a guaranteed profit, due to the very small variations between exchanges. (or so he thought). Unfortunately the markets crashed in the micro second between the buy & sell. He did try & chase his losses, but eventually bought down Barings bank. (Averaging down) Of course averaging down is possible, but risky if the price just keeps falling. You can always bring your average down, If you own 50,000 shares at an average of £1.30 (£65k & then buy 50,000 more shares to lower your average to 1.20 you increase your holding to 100,000, as your average on 100,000 shares is then 1.20, if the sp falls to £1, you are then losing £20k. But if had just kept the original 50,000 shares, you would be losing less, £15K. Of course, if the sp goes back up to 1.30 or more, then the averaging down has worked to your advantage.

Robleo. As I have said many times before, I am not backing him. It is not black or white, back or sack. Someone has to answer the obvious question, who will replace him? Someone on an even larger salary perhaps?

Narcus.. Why should vodafone have given apple a slice anyway. Sorry, but you make no sense?

Hi Narcus. Are you serious, July 2007. 15 years ago, Before Nick Read was even C.E.O. Sorry mate, but you must be really desperate to discredit Nick Read, by bringing that up, (apple). Come on, be honest, as a vod employee you just didn't like him for whatever reason, & It's time you got over it. A 15 year grudge. Sad or what.

Narcus. Thank you for your reply. I still don't get why you blame Nick Read for the building of a crappy council estate? As for your comment "I was there when he turned down apple" Can you tell me please where I can find out about Read turning down apple. I can't find any info about it. Thank you.

Narcus. You point out what vodafone's problems are down to. Government housing policy, working from home(which was originally caused by covid) You forgot to mention the Russian war, & massive competition in the mobile phone market. So why are these problems all the fault of Nick Read.? Sorry Narcus, but you just sound like a typical ex vodafone employee with a massive grudge. At least you got one thing right today, the divi is 4.5 euro cents, not 4.5p. about 3.8p I think.

Come on fleccy. At least try & talk in a way that most on here understand. I can't make a lot of sense out of your latest posts, & I suspect neither you, or anybody else on here can. Talking in tongues?

davef24 Why are you just re printing stuff that we can all just read for our self. What is YOUR point?

Hi moni. I have heard about those dodgy high rise council estate igloos where you live. Just make sure the foundations are good? At least 10 metres of bed ice is good. No flammable cladding though? just snow. Just remember, when you go outside for a wee,don't shake it, just snap it off.

Sorry Jongal, I added, good luck.

Jongal. Hey, big spender, 5758 shares. When are going to put a bid in for vodafone? G

moniman. top of the list spending items, Apart from mobile phones. Tattoos, T.V. football, designer clothes/trainers, expensive gin, gym membership (you don't have to go though) Just have the right designer attire, The latest Expensive massive alloy wheels electric car, Etc. Etc. If you have any left over, then deliveroo take away food, followed by pay the heating bills & rent/mortgage. I thought you would know that though, living in that dodgy area you described in your earlier post. D.Y.O.R. I.M.H.O. usual Caveats, & all that pointless rubbish. P.S. If you do a caveat at Christmas, is it called a Santa clause?

Hello fleccy. Nice one mate. & there is me thinking you have no sense of humour. Nasty elephant, go away. No. not you fleccy. Trouble with mobile phones, you can't do trunk calls anymore.

Hello rob. I think you may get your 93p ex divi, or even less the way things are going. I hope not of course. Do you think you will buy ex divi? I am still positive about vod in the medium term, but I am not going to do a fleccy, as I can see the elephant in the room, but I think he will eventually go away to his graveyard, were he belongs? Wish me luck, because I bloody need it. I see Mikey Klammer, the famous downhill skier is back again.
