Gutter was quite happy when this was dropping and mocking us all because we were losing money, but sadly he's not man enough to admit he got it wrong, lost any credibility now

Hi Dan, a long wait to go for profit, but the losses are getting less, it won't go up every day in a straight line, but it's looking very promising

BOL

LuckyLaurie, steady up we haven't got to 80p yet lol, looking very good very promising though, nice to see the mood change here

good luck;-)

Hi Paul, pretty much the same with myself, i have mng/lgen/aviva/lloy/psn and Vodafone as my core shares and about 50% of my portfolio in international tracker funds, currently the only one in loss is Vodafone, so if i was going to try and trade one it would be the one in loss, i have made plenty of mistakes over the years and i'm sure i will keep making them, i found the harder i tried to make a profit the less i made, so i now try and keep it as simple as possible by just topping up or reinvesting dividends into the shares i already own, and just make the occasional adjustments when needed, always interested in picking up tips though as there are plenty of people on here a lot more experienced than myself, if i sell they go up and if i buy they go down, so i will leave the trading for the more experienced and lucky ones

best of luck to you

Newbie642, you have to be holding the shares the day before exdiv, because exdiv means just that, excluding the dividend

Sean, are you really making more money by frequently trading rather than doing a top up when the share price drops below your average and taking the dividends, it would be nice to get an honest answer, because they say that more people lose money from trading in general

Thanks

Gutter, sometimes you have to hold your hand up and admit you got it wrong, this is moving away from the 60s now, time to man up mate

Hi Dan, It does seem like it's going in the right direction at last, i don't expect any overnight miracles but it will be good just to see it making it;s way back to a £1 again

best of luck mate

2.02 is my average, if the dividend holds up with no loss of capital, then i'm sure we will all be very happy with our investment here, i did fear it might have dropped back to 180 then i would have made another top up, but seems to be recovering very well

best of luck to all fellow investors here

A very pleasant surprise seeing this go up today, hopefully 80p will be not too far away

GLA

Well let's give it another chance to redeem itself, i can't promise i won't have a good old moan about it if the share price drops though, it's been a share that keeps on taking, it's about time it started giving back

Buffa, RE: hoping for a downturn - No but do I expect one

Market corrections/bear market's are always going to happen from time to time, but when is not so easy to predict, would be interesting to know how you guys prepare for these events though

For myself most of my investments are in my sipp/pension pot, by choosing this type of pension protecting your capital is a number one concern

Dividend reinvested, would be happy if this goes back to 2.40 now, snakeeyes, I will be delighted if you are right

Best of luck

LTI, it's good to see you sounding so confident about Tuesday, even Lloyds in on fire lately, it's about time Vodafone had it's turn , fingers crossed here

We will worry about a Market correction/ bear Market another time, it may not happen, others might argue that with interest rates reductions on the way, it could end up a very profitable year, who knows

GLA

Dan, good evening mate, i just try to ignore the name calling , i'm more interested in seeing where is is going from Tuesday onwards, not expecting any fireworks, but it would be good to see this moving towards 80p for starters, just need it to start climbing those ladders again, let's hope the results are good enough to move it in the right direction

best of luck to you and all fellow voders

Reducing NI was bad for pensioners, they should have increased the tax threshhold, and pensioners are big voters

68 for me please, but hope its more like 80

Thanks

Dan, i wouldn't want to get into an argument with anyone over Vod's share price, we have been here long enough to know this one will do whatever it wants, rather than what we want it to do, needs a stick of dynamite up it's backside this share, let's hope next week will be kind to us

have a good weekend all and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts

Oldbut, what's make you think a market crash is imminent soon

Gary, I would be happy if it goes back to 240 by next april, around 10% dividend here plus we had an increase in capital to boot this year, but as with any share there is always a possibility of it going lower

Best of luck
