523 looks like good timing. I could certainly do with reducing my average having (stupidly) held from buying at nearly 700! However, are we looking at a continuing overall downtrend? The answer is is yes if i buy more and no if I don't! Wish i could make money out of always going the wrong way!

If the sp could go to £12 then why is it declining?

Any chance back over 160?

Any chance back over 500?

Looks like buying after that big drop in finance stocks towards end of May was premature. The market was ahead of the curve regarding the stock market impact of the dire state of the economy. I've always found that if I buy the dip then there are deeper dips to come so i'm never in the blue.

What to make of the broker targets 180-320? Most broker targets are cloud cuckoo land of course but the Barc targets seem particularly out of touch with reality.

Not much share chat anywhere.

Simply wall street forecasting good growth but the downtrend continues.

Wondering whether to just give up on this one. Anyone any thoughts?

Seems to me that buying a share based on whether it seems to be a good business is one things, but I feel it's better just to follow the trends. Looking at the current trend it is down and following a pattern seen in previous years. On that basis it could go down towards 300. (Certainly if I buy a load it will.)

I like to look at the buy/sell volume and the back end of May to June there have been a few large sell days. So I see a continuing downtrend especially since there is only an interim dividend in August. However, we had a big rise last August. Shortly followed by an equally big drop. We then had the steady rise in the 4th quarter which lasted until the 1st quarter.

Really big swings in short timescales.

Takeaway is to buy the big dips.

Certainly agree with jcb208. Seems I can never get ahead or if I do it's 'transient'.

One would think Airtel are aware of whether this currency issue will continually erode value.

You always pay a high price on the day under a reinvest plan completely negating the reduction in trading costs. It stands to reason since the brokers know a lot of buys will come in.

We can always rely on broker ratings. Positive ratings are always fiction and are never achieved. Negative ratings cause the sp to fall.

Look at sp chart for the past few years and then consider whether it's a good investment.

What about today?

We're up threppence as I write so there's hope after all.

Yes these idiots are all - well - idiots. They obviously dont care about reputations.

All these high dividend stocks seem to be in the same boat i.e. declining or flat. Endlessly tipped by Fools.

528 down to 472 in just 2 weeks. Pointing out the obvious i know.

We're up a penny! Will it hold?

How can it not have av future?

Anyway, I bought some today. So that's bad for everyone else invested here.

It can happen every year. We are talking about Africa after all.

Yes - but as I bought recently they won't.
