Joe welcome to our world
Welcome to the jungle
Ok Mandy i shall refer to my CWU little red dictionary (page 9, paragraph 3 , item number 6), clearly states
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others
Bullseye-thats you all over Mandy
Mandy you can find Joes recent book "Dividend reinvestment strategy for dummies" , in the bargain bucket section on Ebay. only £1.50.
You seriously need to read it.
Glasnost Comrade
I would just like to reassure mandy that me and the comrades will do all we can to keep BT safe from a foriegn bid.
The closer she SP gets to £1 , the more you seem to be turning into a paranoid , psychotic , dribbling wreck. Get a grip little fella.
This whole episode must be costing you a fortune in incontinence pants.I geuss some people are not cut out to play the share ownership game.
As Joe keeps pointing out, BT investing is a long game , with many years of dividend reinvestment ahead of us.
hallelujah

Looks like Paddy Drahi is broke and the banks have his balls in a vice. There is no way he is going to make a bid any time soon. If anything he may be about to dump £2.8 billion worth of BT shares.
please Mandy i beg you reinvest your dividend and save your self

The changes, if given final approval by Treasury ministers, would be the biggest shake up to the Isa regime in years.
However, it raises questions about why the Treasury is considering pushing savers to move their money away from cash savings, as bank rates are at the highest level in over a decade.
The Government and the FCA have criticised banks this year for not passing on rate hikes to savers, but it is now possible to earn annual interest of more than 6pc at a number of savings providers, including NS&I, the national savings bank.
Such rates are comparable to stock market returns, but come without the risk of market volatility. The Bank of England raised interest rates for the 14th successive time to 5.25pc earlier this month.
A Treasury spokesman said the Government is receptive to ideas of how it can make Isas more attractive to encourage people to develop a savings habit and “invest in a way that works for them”.
They added ministers keep all aspects of Isa rules under review, and any changes would be announced at a “future fiscal event”.
Savers will be pushed to invest in shakeup of Isa regime
Savers will be pushed to invest in stocks and shares under a shakeup of the Isa regime being considered by the Treasury.
The move is understood to be part of a drive by the Government to get more savers investing in the stock market in an effort to beat inflation and low savings rates offered at some major banks.
One option being considered by ministers is making an investment Isa the default option, with savers steered away from cash and given options on how much risk they are willing to take.
The push to investments over cash would follow the financial regulator’s ambition to encourage more consumers to invest their long-term savings rather than hold cash, with only around 8.6 million people holding more than £10,000 of investable assets each.
In June, the economic secretary to the Treasury and City minister, Andrew Griffith, highlighted plans to incentivise Isa saving, as well as a goal of providing “high quality, affordable and suitable financial advice”.
He said: “Our aim is to make them [Isas] simpler and more attractive with strength and incentive to save and invest”.
Individual Savings Accounts (Isas) allow savers to put away up to £20,000 in a year without having to pay any tax on interest or returns. Savers can choose to invest in funds or stocks or receive a simple savings rate from a provider.
But the Financial Conduct Authority wants to see more savers invest to beat inflation in the long-term. Insiders said ministers are keen on Isa simplification and are concerned that not enough savers are investing their savings in stocks and shares, as only around 10pc of Isa savers hold money in stocks and shares.
Research undertaken by consultancy Oxera found that over 70pc of consumers with more than £5,000 savings in a cash Isa or bank account do not consider stocks and shares Isas as they are put off by the risk of losing their money.
Influential think tanks have also been urging ministers to reform the Isa system, with the Resolution Foundation this year calling for a lifetime savings cap of £100,000.
The personal savings allowance has been frozen since its introduction in 2016, with higher rate taxpayers able to receive £500 of interest a year without paying tax and basic rate taxpayers £1,000. Rising interest rates mean a million more savers are expected to pay tax this year, analysis of HM Revenue and Customs figures by stock broker AJ Bell found.
If ministers decide to scrap some of the more unpopular Isas, it could see the abolition of the innovative finance Isa, a vehicle for more high-risk investments, which has seen limited take up since its introduction in 2016.
It is understood that Treasury ministers are close to a decision on Isa reform ahead of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement, but are wary of implementing too many changes too quickly, and no final decisions have been made.

"Thank you for bringing me to my senses Nimble. I sincerely apologise for offending you and any others on this board"
it took you long enough lil Rod , but apology accepted
Mandy couldn't score in a brothel , on a buy one get one free day.
Pete , thanks for the advice . but stop being a deviant perverts apologist
Even by your low standards lil Rod that is a pitifully embarrassing response , you are the master of cringe , sadly.
When are you going to learn lil Rod.
There is no chance of a bid coming in , as confirmed by the flat SP. Along with high interest rates for borrowing.
The chance of a bid for BT, is about as likely as someone bidding for your 30 year old vinyl slippers on Ebay
(i thought you were going to report me to the Feds , or was that more Mandy baloney, they dont like stool pigeons in prison mandy)

Advice from West Midlands Police
A person commits an offence of exposure if they intentionally expose their genitals with the intention of someone seeing them and them being alarmed or distressed. Any person who carries out an act of obscene nature in public can also be charged with 'outraging public decency'.
