There goes that $ up again.

Funny that when lots of America Hedge Funds such as HPM, Wealthcare and Bessemer, to name a few, are topping up their holdings just recently.

Vodafone Idea ltd up over 4% today, so fingers crossed. Who knows what will happen when the Dow opens?

Dow futures point towards a 300 point rise at open today so all good. May even give vod sp a rise? $ weakness helping here too. More buys than sales for vod this morning might indicate time to top up.

GP really flying now. However, US pmi still could dampen the party. Data suggesting that last month pmi was the highest in over 9 years. The cpi announced today was just a tad lower than expected at 2.2%, 2.3% was the expected value. So data is quite accurate, if the pmi data correct then $ would potentially strengthen as more fuel for fed to raise interest rate. Obviously this would be bad for GP. Plenty of pent up energy though for GP to rise. Good times ahead for gold miners, hopefully.

GP will soar once the $ gets knocked off its perch. It'll turn down again unless there's a sustainable $ downturn. The big US techs earnings should tell a tail. Hopefully more $ weakness will resume???

£40 million more shares of vod bought today than sold. Markets across the pond more promising today. $ fall helping. Flight outta big gain stocks this past year have to go somewhere, and vod ain't one of them there gainers in 2018, so hopefully a nice bounce on the cards. Big gain on the gold miners today but me thinks too early for gold rebound just yet. I love these turbulent times.

US inflation data out about now if it's higher than 2.3% the markets will dip again this pm.

sp holding well. Bumpy ride for rest of the week at least for indicies. vod held up well on nasdaqs sell off yesterday so fingers crossed for today. Problem is the $ strength.

Up 2.95% at open.

Vodafone in many tabloids today re advertisement ban, due to 11 yes 11 complaints! But they couldn't have wished for better advertising by this. Also piece in American press stating that Vodafone worth a look regards 5g player along likes of major players over the pond.

Banning the advertisement is the best advertisement Vodafone could've hoped for. It'll get more people interested anyway. Asian markets all up this morning, nasdaq aimless yesterday, European shares due a rebound today maybe?

Good omen me thinks. Also the big discounting in India is over for now and there are only 3 players left, Vodafone/Idea being one.

Deutsche Bank reiterated it's buy on Vodafone Sept 28th with a 265p guide price. So relax a bit and ride the roller coaster until then. It's only a loss if you sell at a loss.

Don't really care if drop to 50p on Monday, because when gold does go north it'll be 200p and onwards and imho it'll be sooner rather than later.

Lots of analysis saying GP has bottomed out, hoc sp hopefully has too. Depends on the dollar? It'll all balance out sometime, dollar will have to come down, GP therefore up. Inflation is rearing it's head all good for GP. China to enable it's banks to make $110bn available to stimulate it's slowing economy, and more if needed. May latest speech stating end of austerity. Just doom monger's stating the recession word to spook the markets. Don't worry be happy.

Just announced by government. Should see a lift in markets sentiment come Monday for all cyclical sector. Banks able to free up cash to boost businesses, should compensate for the trade worries.

135p

pmo a bound to have made a barrel of cash with poo at these levels. I'd be scared to sell for a few quid now in case they make any announcements.
