The key question for me is whether the trend will continue down to £1 or less.
If it stays at about the current level then the dividend is worthwhile.

Quite a lot of buys today if the figures are to be believed. Wonder if it'll rise Monday?

I was thinking the same thing and whenever I fail to act it goes as I expected. The reason I fail to act though is that when I do, the expected pattern is broken. I find that a stock can go up/down regularly by a fairly consistent amount until I step in, like the famous quantum experiments.

SP should rise in next day or so cos of div reinvestment, then drop back.

More buys than sells if the figures are to be believed. Could this mean traders are buying the dip or that strategic investors think its worth accumulating at these levels?

A steady downtrend since 2015.
Profit has increased about 8 fold since last March (2020) yet the SP is down from then.
Could be heading for 90p.
The market really has it in for VOD. Just like to UK national debt it's impossible to see how Vod can clear its debt.
With luck short term traders can make on the swings but it's just that - luck.

will need 400. Outrageous spread - designed to stop people cashing in when it rises.

It's because VOD is crap.
Periodically there's a little rally which suckers people like us in, followed by a quick reversal. That's what the market does.
It's notable that even though half the shares are owned by institutions none of the leading successful funds hold VOD .

That's today's contribution to the LSE VOD support group from me.

The only way for gas prices is up mainly due to govts piling on tax on the pretext of climate change. An excuse to fine people - like higher parking for diesel cars. The money won't of course be spent on alternatives. Just think, the UK public sector pension liability is around £6 trillion and growing.

They need reduce costs and hence debt by not piling into more and more infrastructure investments which mean profit is continually eroded.

My fear is that the market deems growth to be over. Hence we won't see a return to anything like £15. Hence it's yet another stock I own on which I'm sitting on a loss.

On the scam oilies, I've lost a hell of a lot. There's a long list which only exist to pay the BoD's shamefull salaries. they just deploy a holding strategy as long as the can. Many mugs on BB's go ballistic if anyone criticises them.

I think the market hates tobacco 'cos of the inexorable threat posed by taxation. It used to be a cash cow.

I thought I'd timed it reasonably ok when I bought in mid august based on the technicals and buy vs sell ratios. but then it stepped down - rather like everything I touch. The indicators change over time I've discovered though. If an indicator is heading up at point x and you look back later at point y, the indicator no longer shows the same slope as it did at point x. Maybe that's why many say charting is pointless and may even be contrived to mislead.

Heading for a red day though.

Well my 'recent uptrend' comment seems to have scuppered it. It does indeed appear that the BoD are determined not to allow shareholder value.

As ever I now regret my uptrend comment.

Nelly that's absolutely right. I challenged HL on this and they say it's because they bundle up purchases - so obviously the brokers see this coming and charge a premium. Also it's obvious that stock prices will be raised around div payment time 'cos they know of reinvestments.

I kick myself for buying recently into a share I don't understand and on a downtrend. Hoping therefore for a turnaround. 275 would be nice. What are the chances?

We seem to be on an uptrend since mid-July. Could this return to 130+?
