Garonne, I'm definitely no expert but company's with high debt will suffer the most in times oh high inflation and interest rates, we don't know of course but hopefully this has reached it's bottom price, i'm in no hurry to sell and just can't bring myself to sell at this very low price, and it's still paying a dividend at the moment, but you will have to make your own decision on what you feel is best for yourself and not take much notice of what goes on here, but best of luck
Avocet123, yes it is old news that Vodafone has been dropping in value since 2018, but unfortunately it hasn't changed direction yet, I would like to think this is a very undervalued price for this share and there is at least some hope for it to start increasing some time this year, but by how much it will increase and how long it will take to recover i have no idea, with a recession in Germany and the UK we could be in for a long wait, the big question is will it all be worth it? I wish i knew the answer to that one, nice jump up today with Lloyds announcing better than expected profits also Aviva jumping up on expectations of good results, Vodafone is not the easiest share to be invested in for sure, what are your thoughts on it?
Garonne, unfortunately most shares are doing badly at the moment, and i can't see it changing until we get news on inflation and interest rates dropping, hopefully we won't have to wait too long, it seems most people are more concerned about gutters comments and using him as a punch bag than talking about how the share price is doing, why everyone's so bothered about his comments i don't know, he's obviously enjoying winding everyone up, but he's not responsible for the share price dropping
Vulture1 RE: Robleo UK for dividends US for growth is my approach
yes i agree i do the same myself, the point i was trying to make though is i'm more concerned about the performance of shares, its not much good getting dividends in one hand and capital loss in another, unfortunately the don't all live up to our expectations
T
I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm finding it difficult to get much growth from shares at the moment, taking a look at my portfolio, i have 8 shares 4 of them are in profit and 4 are in loss, so the profits from the good one's are getting cancelled out by the bad ones, if i then look at my 8 funds the difference here is they are all in profit and slowly growing, so if you are only invested in Lgen then think yourself lucky, yes it would be nice to see some growth in the sp, but as long as you are not in capital loss and getting a generous dividend then there's not much to complain about, just like Zac i will be reducing my exposure to single shares in due course, just holding on to a few of my more reliable on's like lgen/aviva,
hope the rest of you guys are having better luck with your share picking and they are all in profit
Did someone say 77 p? that would be nice, maybe i better wait until Friday before booking a holiday in Tenerife though, just in case, might even buy gutter a ticket to cheer him up
66p for me please roofer
cheers
Hi David, yes it has under performed this year so far at least, but if we take into account some of the problems most businesses are up against, such as inflation/high interest rates/recession etc, it's only to be expected really, pretty much the same with Aviva, still think this is a very good dividend paying share though and hopefully will get even better, as long as capital returns back to profit then you have options, nothing worse than being trapped in a share due to being under water, personally i have not been in that situation with this share
Garonne, you would need to find a CEO with a magic wand, do you have one in mind? yes it is hard to take that hit, we hope it will get a lot better, but the reality is nobody knows if it will or how long it will take
but good luck
JDF7, I agree most long term holders myself included are not too concerned about the sp dropping, however it's a much better feeling when you see your capital back in profit, especially in March/April when you expect this share price to be at it's highest, the dividends are very good here, but you don't want to get the dividends in one hand and loss of capital in another, especially when you have to account for inflation
Porsche1946, Is he really that wrong though, for all you guys that are invested in UK stocks, performing really well are they?
maybe you should have a good hard think about it, i keep hearing the words under valued, just wondering how many years you will keep saying those words for, the only UK shares of mine that i expect to see some decent growth with is house builders
Hi Dan, no worries mate i was only joking in my reply, we are all a bit fed up of share prices dropping, everyone's a lot more cheerful when they are rising, too many snakes about at the moment and not enough ladders , more prosperous times ahead hopefully, also spring and summer not far away, i can't wait for that
Dan, i am very upset that you don't like my lol or dyor, to be honest i don't like the dyor myself thank goodness you don't see it used very often anymore
so how about the dyot ( do your own thinking) i think you used that one before, seriously though i would hate to see anyone lose money because of anything i suggested, i realise there will be others here that are invested in the same shares of funds as myself, so just say how they currently are or have been doing, I would love it if i could predict the future as well though
I will try and speak in plain English/welsh/Scottish or Irish for you
have a good weekend
Hi, Dan, i'm sorry mate but i wouldn't know how to advise anyone on anything especially shares i need a lot of help myself from self harm lol
but the 3 funds i sent to mole have been good , you can google how they have performed in the past 5 years etc, but of course that doesn't mean they will do as well in the future, if you wanted me too of course just for looking purposes i would send you the full list of the ones i have, most i have had for years but 2 i have added more recently
but dyor of course, and let's hope our Vodafone shares have a good week, it was go high or go low so decided high :-)
Mole , that's good as long as your good at picking the right shares at the right time, if your rubbish at picking them like myself it's not so good, for example all 9 of my funds are in profit and growing, and the ongoing charges especially on my lgen tracker funds around 0.20% which is very low and also there are no charges for buying or selling them
onto my shares around half are in profit and the other half are in loss, so the good ones are compensating for the losses on the bad ones, but of course i can only speak about the present and the past, i can't predict the future
what about the rest of you guys are you happy with the performance of all your shares
Mole, I agree mate and that's what i have been doing increasing my funds , i'm done with buying uk shares and only adding to my low cost tracker funds, if you get a chance just take a look at the last 5 or 10 year growth on some of them,legal&general global technology/lgen international index/fundsmith to name a few they have outdone my uk shares
Dan, 67? what's the matter with you man, have you been listening to jax and gutter?
Not a good week again unfortunately, not just vod everything else is the same, most of my shares are going ex div in April, you would think they would be rising to the occasion now, but they are on on a slippery ski slope, maybe i should have listened to my wife and invested in a building society or premium bonds
that's my moan out of the way for this week
have a good weekend, and 70p for me next week please roofer
