Just don't mention a certain figure guys, the last time someone did it went tumbling down, looking good though

Scaredycat link not working, what is it ?

ah well Dan, I guess you two will just have to agree to disagree, let's hope it's a big up day tomorrow then, and you will both be happy -))

I think we all know you should avoid these boards, if your easily offended, but what a strange & boring world it would be if we were all the same ?
We have Dan & Mikey, who are probably good mates, but just love to wind each other up, Compound thinks vod is going to make us a small fortune next year, mole-man likes to give us a reality check on that, fleccy thinks vodafone & bt are the best investments for the future, Dan & myself call each other Pathetic idiots, pfen thinks vodafone is a dead loss, gary threatens us with his missus, if we don't behave
and lots of other personality's on here, but I hope none of us hold any grudges and are still friends in 2022, because this would be a very boring place if we all agreed with each other, I think we found that out a few days ago, when nobody posted on here ?
Re; averaging down ,Mole-mans quote
I wouldn't average down in a stock for averaging downs sake. It's like revenge trading. If you have any cash, put it to the best stock you can find at the time. Maybe even sell the loss position if you have lost faith and move the cash to the other stocks you feel will do better from here forward
I do agree with mole , think it's better to put your money into stocks that are working well for you, rather than trying to camouflage your losses on any under performers , what do the rest of you think ?

Dan merry xmas and happy new to you as well

HA, it should have said, thanks for that information, it was just a bit of a trick question ( missing words here again)

ro55fay, thanks for that information, as vod has lost money in the last few years, but hopefully 2022 will be the year for seeing a profit here
cheers

Paul, Cheers I will take a look at the ones you mentioned, everyone has there own way I'm most definitely no expert , I have 10 funds and investment trusts, which are all in profit and plodding along, and just takes away the stress of me messing up, my biggest holding is lloyds sold off a few of my least performing funds to average down when the price dropped down in the 20s and 30s so is now 25% of my portfolio, usually try to keep shares to no more than 5%, shares can be great when they are making profit, I have a couple though that have gone into the red and stayed there for a few years Vodafone being one and saga another, not so great then, but thankfully others are making up for it, so like to stick to some good dividend stocks and top up when good opportunity's come along, trying to learn from mistakes,but I'm sure I will keep making them, so let's hope 2022 can at least get this nasty virus at least under good control, and hopefully we will see a nice profit from mng and our other shares, but most of all have a good xmas and a happy new year everyone

I have a question, if he used that £132,752.04) to buy premium bonds, instead of topping up on vodafone shares, would he be more likely to make more profit ?

Merry Xmas and a happy prosperous new year to you all guys, and stay safe

(As for this nasty virus, that's trying to spoil our festive season, make us ill and take our money from us, please bugger off)

Hi sidi, hope you're making a fortune here
Just want to say, Merry Xmas and a happy new year my friend, take care and stay safe, and the same to all you guys here, and hopefully a prosperous new year

Paul, you got a much better price than I have here, I have an average of 229, this did go up to around 248, so I know it's annoying seeing a drop after buying in ,what does concern me is the price kept on dropping after the results in august, next results in march I'm hoping will be better, but I have to admit right or wrong I'm not as confident with this share as I am with my shares in lgen, dividend is good, but not if you lose more on the capital, if this drops anymore I will have to decide if I should average down here, this unearthly virus is playing hell with everything, glad I've invested most of my money in funds as they seem to be doing better than my individual shares
I'm no expert guys, and always welcome constructive comments

Sorry paul.i was expexting that, but you will be fine , as i said, just look past the next month or two, then hopefully there willl be a built up to ex div and some cash in the bank

nbe, thank you for your reply, always welcome constructive comments

CSDI , How are you my friend, we've missed you on here, hope you start back slowly onto the stock market again, only please don't feel you have to live up to your title, if you know what I mean ?, do you still use your blog on general chat ?
Hope you and your family have a nice xmas and a happy new year, take care and stay safe

SDarlow, no I honestly don't think that for a minute, I'm sure this will turn around at some point, but my thoughts are rather than see this take me into the red, it might be better for me to sell off either all or maybe 2 thirds of my holdings, then possibly get back in at a lower price, sometimes these things can stay down for a long time, who knows

nbe, maybe it is the right thing to do, shame this is dropping so much, pretty soon all my profit from this will be gone, and I will have to press the sell button, so hoping it will turn around next week

Nelly, your spot on with everything you said there, I feel exactly the same, and intend making this my biggest holding, topping up again some time after ex div, when the price dips
Good luck everyone

Gary, i see what you did with the figures, very good mate, and it would have been even better later in the day
Merry xmas to you as well, not sure about Dan thought, think he's un friended me, i hope not,
Let's hope this upward trend continues into next year
All the best

Dan, ok some of the remarks you sent back to me were probably justified, but i didn't mean my comments to you in a nasty way, as you said it is xmas time, chill out please mate
