The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Kezzd,
Best ever result was that the big hedgefunds shorts got burned on GameStop. It’s the best way to take money off the greedy rich bast@rd$. I think we can easily bankrupt U.K shorters but not sure current execs can be trusted.
Robina,
You can day trade VOD on Nasdaq.......zero commission / zero stamp duty but fx moves can impact negatively. The 5G hype hasn’t done anything for most telco stocks yet, another catalyst is needed.
The market is down today so VOD is currently outperforming.
Velo,
Best tactic is to get enough buyers with steady cash to keep buying both BT bonds and BT shares, we need to buy enough to sack Jansen and the board. We just need to ask Musk to be interim CEO via twitter for one month on zero pay. We can promote the smartest guys that were overlooked at BT to exec roles. Huge cost cut and lean company............all those LTIPs and bonuses paid or promised will be clawed back / voided.
That would be the greatest outcome ever.
itrader,
Just check AMC stock, check GameStop before you lose your short. Don’t do it, wait for this mania to die before shorting any stock. Cine could rise to 500p easily if reddit army mentality catches on here.
Meh,
I believe there are naked shorts and loads of below threshold shorts. This is very popular with divi stocks in the U.K, the shorts await for any cut rumours / pause in divi by the company then short more as tracker income funds dump non paying divi companies.
I track Income ETFs and boy oh boy, they sold the likes of BT at the lows back in April - June.
We need a nasdaq listing, simples! Something is wrong with the U.K market........just look at FTSE 100. It is below where it was in 1999........come on the MMs / shorts are holding us back. It feeds negativity which in turn affects business confidence.
The shorts would get burned...........proper robinhood stuff going on in GameStop. The U.K needs to do something similar to send a message to the shorts here. 1 million persistent buyers with cash can push the sp above 300p. Should be easy to get a board seat and clear out the old execs.
Not sure this can rally like GameStop but surely they can push it above 200p........fingers crossed! Those Vampires keeping U.K shares down must be watching closely. I see cineworld motoring on even after the new lockdown.
Nice rise but can the reddit army pump this up.
Patient,
See that’s why you are patient........103p average is genius! I feel better now for ranting because I have a high avg. 200p was my first big entry, 175p was too cheap, 160p must be a jackpot, 150p.....OMG, 140p......not funny anymore, 130p......oh $hit, 125p ......can’t get worse! Covid comes around and knocks it right to the floor. At more than 15% of portfolio plus BT, I could not top up at lows......just adding more risk. Over 2 years wasted here!
Patient,
My averages of 165p / 170p seems so far away in VOD terms so I have made up my mind to cut my holding to no more than 5% of the portfolio. I hold BT and Aviva too in big chunks.........they make my portfolio look like a gambler’s. 220p was my target before but I’ve been stuck in red for too long......not proud to show my partner my red portfolio.
Patient,
Yup, VOD is slightly up on Nasdaq.......I can’t trade VOD as I have too much of it already. I find American trading sessions a lot better and transparent but best bit is zero SD, zero commission. The ever stronger pound even with a bad brexit deal is the only downside.
