Ah shut up man you just cursed it!

163 seems like a hard nut to crack. Lets hope for once the USA actually help us

I saw 351 held 3x so that was it. Was going in at 353. But it left me behind. Ah well im in voda. Enjoy divis there you lot enjoy them here

Dam it had the finger on the buy at 355 but didn't do it!

TomE it tells me 2 things. One he cares enough to reply even though he's running a ftse 100 company (whether it was his secretary who replied or not who knows) and 2 they are well aware of the rut the share price is in.

I emailed Mr read. And he replied. Saying he is well aware of the drops and hopes il be with him in november when he posts his vision.

Id be happy if we just settle at 165p and stay there!

TomE maybe we should switch off til nov. Only pain inbetween. 164 then 162 then 165 then 163 then 166 then 162 then 164 then 167 then 165 then 168 could take awhile providing it plans out I expect barring any global catastrophe a slow grind to 173+ by nov 13th.

Spectrum buying is day to day business. I want to see 175 by nov. Looking at the charts itl be a slow grind up from this day on.

Finally big seller gone!

We know. Just feels nice to blame someone other than ourselves.

This is oversold territory. I have 4th of oct pencilled in for bounce. But I wanted the bounce from 162 not 159/158 once I get to 168 il srart off loading some as I can't see so much red in my PF and feel comfortable.

I broke even this year in jan. Promised myself il never go in so strong again and here I am. But I console myself by saying in 12 yrs this will pay me back in full. Next 12 yrs will be profit divis. Then what ever I sell will be pure profit. Trying to take a 24 yr view here

Hi h. Will you defend me against these unbelievers. Do they not know me? Well obviously not. I took 4 years of averaging down in pmo to break even and eventually sell at 99.5p at break even but I cashed out. And it was way more than you can earn in 25 yrs. I didnt make no one argue. Im down 10k+ today. Stop makin me feel worse. Stupid fool.

Nick Read: Yeah, I think it's important to understand how the board think about the dividend cause the board own the policy. And the board have a very specific view. They look at that we, we every year announce how much the cumulative free cash flow long-term incentive plan of management is. So, the midpoint of that range is €17 billion for the next 3 years. So our incentives are tied to delivering €17 billion plus or minus either side in terms of our bonuses and performance.

So they look at €17 billion. Then they say, okay, the dividend is €4 billion a year. So let's call that €12, I'm rounding €12. So they say okay so you got €5 billion of head room to cover spectrum, because that free cash flow is before spectrum. €5 billion to cover spectrum. What is the long-term average of spectrum payments? €1.2 billion, so 3 years, €3.6. So they look at it as we are covered. Yes, we are paying fairly foolish at this point in time. Clearly with €17 billion in a year, one guidance of greater than €5.2, there's growth in the free cash flow profile. And that's driven by EBITDA growth, going back to the conversation we had about absolute costs coming down on a multiyear basis. So they say the dividends covered. We're confident in the dividend policy that we have.

500k accumulation in shares. Average 166p. Didnt think id be down 30k in a few days. Dam it even pmo was better than this!

I agree if this was in USA it would be around $150 billion! MMs giving you 8% for life. Take it.

Watch the 160p UT f in rigged markets.

Another 10k down today. Im sure the casino is more fun

A fine of 2 million. Its the uk. We losing billions in market cap!
