A definite move away from cash making growing businesses into high debt dogs perceived as value stocks. I’m adding again here as it’s below 8000.

Bloomberg show the price at main market close, but the futures remain open. If you click on the chart you will see it is down .61% since close at 4:30

To have a big buyer, you also need a big seller. The price action suggest the pressure is more sell side, for now. Who will dry up first?

Because I feel you are trying to make it into some sort of magic money that comes free to owners. There is no difference between issuing treasury shares or new shares. The holder gets diluted exactly the same.
Just as there is no difference in the end between issuing shares and buying them back, or just paying off a bond in the first place.
It’s all part of the accounting dance that VOD now has to do to wiggle rounds it’s debt pile which it can’t pay down.

Holding shares or issueing shares from treasury does not prevent dilution fleccy. Treasury is just a place on the balance sheet to store mostly bought back stock that has not been cancelled yet. If you issue them back out of treasury, they dilute the issued stock, same as issuing new shares would.
Treasury shares are stored as a negative balance in the equity part of the balance sheet, as it is money the equity holders do not own.

Gary buyback likely to continue through 22 as another bond converts in March to shares diluting holders by about 6% to 7%

Is the infrastructure investment ever complete? 5g investment needed now, 6g or whatever comes along before the 5 g is paying off, and so on. Sitting on debt from 3G days still not payable.

I could try to explain but the rampers just drown it out. You'll need to do the calculations yourself.
I guess I have the advantage having seen Conroy erode value from £45 down to 40p. Time is the enemy.

lse puts *** in for the site name to block it. You can search rampchecker and the site comes at the top.

Not sure how they decide what's a ramp/deramp post or not, but well done Dan. winner winner chicken dinner

I wouldn't average down in a stock for averaging downs sake. It's like revenge trading. If you have any cash, put it to the best stock you can find at the time. Maybe even sell the loss position if you have lost faith and move the cash to the other stocks you feel will do better from here forwards.

Is VOD the best stock on the market for 2022? The forum knows my vote.

Won’t it also need to wait for Irish Gov to agree to hand the licences to a jv that will be majority owned by a Turkish company if it ever gets to production, before agreement can go unconditional?
Lots of waiting still to do.

Some studies in US at least say 70% of trades are algo and quant driven. Their short term metrics provide those buying ops for those with long term time horizons. 5 years at least.

Mole man a PI. No holidays for me. A human algo.

It's Fed day today. The whole investing globe is waiting to see if Powell destroys the stock market with rapid QE tapering, or strings it out, which may in turn stoke inflation.
Speaks around time of market close, so expect down all day.

For SP fun, watch the charts for Apple today. It's making a run at first company to reach $3tn. Needs $182.80 a share

The handset side of telecoms is healthy.

I blame the shorters, or the MM's. It's usually one of them.

It certainly will make the papers when the locals set up a caravan camp on the proposed open pit site. About 6 or 8 years from now.
Should add a few million to the setup costs.

Why would anyone buy VOD. You'd have to employ Mikey.

OOOOOONLYYYY jooookkkking

It actually felt a bit like complete capitulation at the end, which is often the bottom of a panic. It may not be so bad from here.

Chance to go dip shopping in your favourites, if you believe the world will still exist next year.

And really having a wobble now as first case of Omicron arrives on US soil. We need some good solid news on the mildness of the symptoms to calm everyone down now.
