Mick, I know what an UT is.....but have to say your explanation is the clearest I've heard...cheers

Really hope it does... I exited today very thankful for a 96p uplift per share in a month. Didn't really want to but I can see some uplift in VOD once the markets calm.I really bought for the long term....bloody thing ran too fast :) If this ever tracks back to 6 quid I'm back in. I hope keeps climbing for you....as I said, I like this company..

Lloyd is languishing and to be fair I can't honestly see why looking at the metrics...topped up again with 2k at 63.5p. I like to try and keep a balanced portfolio but Lloyd now makes up 42%..... I hope I'm not missing something:) Appreciate brexit is a bind, but either way in a decade from now we will no doubt be back in so just a short/ mid term distraction

Just looking in Eps 16p and share price £8.80 How does that work ? Unbelievable....good look to all riding this.....but be careful..the finances don't add up

I agree food tastes great...but stopped buying it about 6 months ago for the sake of my kids.....the great taste comes from the exorbitant amount of salt/ saturated fat in their ready meals ( lasagna/spaghetti bol etc) right through to their sandwiches......have a look next time you shop....the figures they quote are for half a portion Tastes lovely but seriously unhealthy

That eps/dividend payment made me chuckle...1.6p/18.7p The restructure needs to be speedily in profit. That said...not in here but will be watching with a 3-5 yr turnaround view

Quite agree ..current dividend covered by free cash flow alone. Eps cover is building up

These days I am a value investor and dividend collector mainly in the ftse 100 and some in the 250. Like many I learned the hard was on aim. I have held shares here ( previously fogl) for some years and as previously stated had written them off......but was so far under water I could not bring myself to crystallize the pain of a sell order...I even strangely allowed myself a top up last week at 36 to bring my ave down to 61p I have not changed my strategy and will never touch aim again with a new purchase....however owning these over the last 2 weeks has reminded me of how much fun it can be ( when heading north!!)....RKH is now my taboo indulgence....I do enjoy the talk of shares reaching £2+.........let this baby fly ( but not buying any more....:))

To be fair I like it like this...allows us to access good quality shares at a great price....every company goes through rough patches....but by will recover and prosper.. Just think if the sentiment was currently good towards BT. You'd have to pay £4 a share!

Agree...of all the shares to fret about VOD is not the one :)

For 1.5 billion to fund fibre

Bought earlier in the week at 1.97, topped up at 1.95, told myself that's it and then grabbed another thousand at 1.92.... got 6k of them now.... Switching off from Vod for. a few months to let it RE rate

Each month I average @£550 from dividends from various blue chips. ( some months more some less)I don't use drip for any of them although it is very cost effective. I prefer to scour the market for the best options....it maybe cna, but most often not. About every 2 months I purchase. My Lloyd's dividend due end of May is going into VOD. Well priced, moving forward fab dividend. If I was to use drip reinvesting on say BP or RDSB ( don't currently own either) I would be paying top rate. Just an alternative view

Bought 3000 yesterday at 1.97 and another 2000 today at 1.94 Long term hold now.....pretty solid results and good transformation programme....

Not sure we are :) https://www.reuters.com/article/britain-eu-customs/update-1-uk-to-tell-eu-it-is-ready-to-stay-in-customs-union-beyond-2021-telegraph-idUSL5N1SN7OA
