Are not very good at running banks it seems. I hope this negative news doesn't impact our chances in seeing the merger with Redwood bank come to fruition.

I know what you mean unlucky. They've have as much chance of growing the economy with their soon to be revealed investor deterring policies and largesse on public sector pay as I have of making my fortune on VOD shares.

Up nicely Stateside! Hopefully some relief coming out way soon.

Margherita has certainly presided over considerable shareprice destruction with only a meagre improvement of late, which seems to have stalled. I wouldn't say that she's done much of a job, yet. Maybe she'll get there but seemingly at a glacial pace. Germany's tanking economy is also a major concern along with the 3 debacle. Most investors in VOD will be very dissatisfied, I suspect.

I admire your positivity, Slacker. Let's hope your assertions pertaining to PRU prove to be prophetic. I'll hold onto the thought of £18 a share to ameliorate my concerns about the current shareprice disaster and my significant loss of capital.

Yes, James, I concur. Bond's tenure has been an unmitigated disaster for shareholders, yet for some reason he was able to stay in post for far too while long all the time deliberately exaggerating AFC's near term prospects. I believe he should be investigated.

If your analysis is accurate, mole, it's quite depressing that VOD could be at fair value already at 74p! Some on here are expecting £1 this year! I guess it all hinges on this damned merger with 3, which I see as very precarious given UNITE's cosey relationship with the Labour government. Clearly there'll be no getting rich quick, here.

Due to Bharti global purchasing Altice UK's 25% stake. Apparently they have confidence in BT's future.

"This investment demonstrates the confidence we have in BT and in the UK. BT has a strong portfolio of market leading brands, high-quality assets and an experienced management team with a compelling strategy mandated by the BT board to deliver value over the long term, which we fully support," said Sunil Bharti Mittal, chair of Bharti Enterprises.

It would be nice for some rich entity to show the same confidence in Vodafone and its management, especially at today's debased valuation. In fact is it not a bit concerning that no such interest is forthcoming?

Maybe EOY price will be significantly higher. Let's hope the momentum keeps up.

I wouldn't trust Jonathan Rowland as far as I could throw him. Nevertheless, let's hope that this comes good and he atones for his previous failures. In any case, he'll have to update soon so fingers crossed for a miracle 🙏

Looks like more of the same Stocker, unfortunately. Nice try! Yanks aren't done yet, dragging us all down.

Good to know Norman. Maybe the powers that be have decided to rerate it back to a more realistic valuation. Let's hope this slow but steady rally keeps going. 80p would be amazing to start with!

Or maybe not! ☝️

But no higher! 74p is proving a hard nut to crack. 🔨

I look forward to the significant increase in SP you have predicted for today, Stocker. It's started already so let's see if it keeps going. I concur with your positive outlook on PRU. I just hope this optimism proves to be correct. Many LTHs have been suffering but if the SP was to go to £16 as you predict, I suspect there'd be a lot of happy campers on here. 🤞

Sounds like there's shenanigans going here. I wonder what the governments real agenda is? Surely though shareholders should have a say on whether to accept Mr. Palmer's deal or not?

£1.30 is the stuff of dreams , Ellll!

Back to the usual descending shareprice. Maybe it's time for some new leadership. This can't go on.

It has certainly turned out to be a hopeless investment. There's just no life in it! And to think I sold RR and bought into this dog. A bitter pill to swallow. You'd think with the return of the divi that there'd be some more interest here. Same over at EZJ, another disaster investment. So much for airlines being a no brainer! TBH I beginning to think they'll never recover pre COVID share prices.

Margherita!
