We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
So my dream last night involved Mr Putin withdrawing his troops & hostilities ending. Then almost immediately Mr Sunak & Mr Bailey announced inflation had been halved to 4%.
Unlikely I hear you all cry but not totally out of the question & just think what either or both would do to share prices.
Come on fellow posters let’s stop the animosity on here, power of positive thought & all that.
Oh & if Putin took a bullet or three would that be all bad?
Vax, you may not be a fan of interest rate rises to curb inflation so I for one would be grateful for your wise words as to how it can be reduced. They are a deliberate ploy by the government to reduce money available for the public to spend, the Gov & BOE are doing this deliberately.
i know i started it with the cat thing but it's getting a bit like "mrs slocombe's *****" on here now. for the youngsters here who don't know, mrs slocombe was a character in a poor british sit com some years back. danielh will remember it i'm sure, no offence meant dh.
Gutter - And there we have it, he won’t be telling us what he thinks anymore.
Well, we’ll all miss this incisive, accurate, worthwhile input from a complete p ratt who doesn’t understand the very basics of stock investing & who is so unaware of showing what a tool he is when he posts.
My wife’s cat has a better grasp of things.
Gutter - You are again incorrect & as Robleo states in his post which is in agreement to my own, an interim is different to a final dividend.
This really is basic stuff that you should try to get a grip of.
May I suggest that you don’t post until you are sure what you are saying is correct, it makes you look like an uneducated fool. Need I say more.
Porsche - Come on don’t be shy, enlighten us as to your understanding.
danielh is quite correct as the next dividend is a Final which is a debt once declared.
My understanding of interim dividends is quite different though.
The payment of an interim dividend is a decision of the directors and no debt due from the company to its shareholders is created at the time that decision is made, so an interim dividend can be cancelled at any time up to its payment. A shareholder’s right to an interim dividend does not arise until the dividend is actually paid.
Porsche perhaps this is where you are getting confused. I think however, that you might just be a total p ratt who does not know the F what you are talking about.
Sadly I agree Karl & my buy order of 68.1p still has 7 business days left to go.
I thought the merger announcement may scupper it but it took Mr Market not long at all to shrug its shoulders & say “So what?”
Think I may drop my buy in price.
Robleo - You ask what I think & by the way I vote for Rob as being the "2023 Voice of Reason" on this board (& over at LGEN & AV. which I also hold) he should have been a diplomat.
As for VOD & my opinion of this company, as you know I sold out in two tranches in the 130's. I miss being a VOD holder so I often read this forum as I dearly want to get back in & dearly want the company to succeed. My opinion FWIW is that this could go two ways & we know what they are. I think the dividend is safe as it's covered by free cash flow & in the short term they need to get Germany producing, after all they've only spent 20 billion plus euros over there. Net debt is coming down, they are well positioned in Africa & will the whole company go belly up? Possibly but unlikely.
So, I'll probably soon just do a 5K buy & then I'll feel I can post again here with impunity, good luck all.
Taverham - The numpties that voted for Brexit will never admit they got it terribly wrong, the economic facts are overwhelming for all to see. Now this tiny little island has the sickest economy in the developed world & things are going to get worse.
Personally it doesn’t matter to me too much as I have done well financially, it’s just disappointing that so many gullible, supposedly intelligent individuals were taken in by the lying, imbecile & his cronies.
As the saying goes … Everything you do, everything you say, every choice you make, sooner or later comes back around“.
Perhaps E& will bid for the whole of Vodafone, it’s probably the only way they will ever break even on this dog of a share.
Vodafone’s new CEO seriously downgrades company guidance as one of the first things she does when assuming responsibility & then underlying cash profit come in well below the very same downgrade. I’ll leave posters to decide if they have confidence in this BOD going forward. Down again Groundhog Day !! .
Other reasons why not to invest in Vodafone, I just wish it were different.
“ Vodafone was the second most complained about company last year, according to an Ofcom report, and they also lost broadband services for 11,000 people across the UK in April”.
Many, many more per month in Germany, the most important market for income.
Is it any wonder that the CEO says they are concentrating on growing business accounts? Because they can’t keep domestic.
Couldn’t make it up!
Correct Poker & the "churn" of customers leaving VOD in Germany is now reaching major proportions, the CEO must be eternally worried. Our German friends are as nationalistic as some are here & the very fact that VOD is deemed a British company & the Brexit factor doesn't the retention of customers there one bit ... fact!
The major loss of revenue in Germany is one of the reasons that so many staff are being axed so g od help the next set of results.
Oh look the SP is down again today when almost everything else is up.
What a dog share this really is
Is Flemmy the new Daniel?
No, Daniel is a unique individual but when Flemmy posts such as “ All the more reason we should move even further away from the EU. They're not our friends, the sooner the UK Government accepts that the better” & the rest of his nationalistic rants it makes me wonder why he has spent money on a company such as Vodafone who after all has one or two overseas interests.
Close the airports, barricade the ferry terminals eh Flemmy, ha!
