We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Longtimeinvestor, Of course we all make our own choices, I'm not complaining, but this is a discussion board, I don't like to see anyone losing money here anymore than i don't like losing myself, but we all have our own opinions of what's good or bad investment
Longtimeinvestor, The whole point of risking your money in the stock market is to get a better return than you get in an investment account, well done to you for avoiding those losses with multiple buying and selling, but let's be honest it really shouldn't be that difficult, it's been an absolute nightmare this one, we would have been better off just investing in a basic international tracker fund which is where most of my portfolio is now, i had the opportunity to sell this on a few occasions at 1.40 bult silly me i held on hoping for more, but i don;t think any of us could have predicted this would have dropped this low, anyway that's all in the past, let's hope it can grow some legs and start climbing those ladders
Longtimeinvestor, I guess your another die hard Vodafone supporter, i'm sure you have had a good return from dividends, unfortunately it's come with a big loss of capital with this one, it hasn't been one for the faint hearted or impatient that's for sure, thankfully my biggest holding Lloyds is in profit and hopefully will go a little higher, I will say the same to you as i have said to Fleccy, i hope your long term plan works out well here, you both deserve it for your patience
Fingers crossed here guys
Long, you have a good point with that one, maybe if the current share price was a lot higher then investors would be thinking now is a good time to sell, but who would want to sell at these prices?
Everyone's circumstances are different here, if your thinking of holding long time then the buybacks might be beneficial, it depends on how rewarding you think this share will be over the next 5 years, this could be Back up to £2 or it could be as underperforming as it's been over the last 5 years, who knows?
I've been invested here since 2017 and every year posters here have been saying this will get better, just like you are saying now, but every year it's just got worse and worse, The longer anyone's been invested here the more they have lost, one good thing is it does appear to have reached it's bottom, however we all know there's a recession in Germany, Vodafone's biggest market, so my concern at the moment is the upcoming results
Personally, i just want this to rise as quickly as possible so i can offload some or all of my shares
Well it doesn't look like the announcement of buybacks/Italian sale or next years dividend reduction has done much to boost confidence in this share, so what are everyone's thoughts on the Final results on 14 May 2024 are you expecting them to be good or bad
cheers
Prefer giffgaff myself, i pay £6 for 2gb data and unlimited calls/texts which is enough for me as i'm usually on WIFI, your not tied into any contract and uses o2 network so no roaming charges in Europe, excellent service
Longtimeinvestor
how much do you think these buybacks would increase the share price
I suppose it depends how long you intend being invested here, in the short term probably zero
So for anyone like myself who just wants to see this rise as quickly as possible i suspect it will be of no benefit whatsoever, I suppose it depends on how rewarding you think this investment will be in the coming years or not, each to his own i suppose
Garonne, I've worked out a good formula for analysing all these goings on, if the share price goes up it's a good thing if it goes down not good, unless of course your one of those investors who just wants it to go down so you can buy more, so can only speak for myself as i just want to see this go up, 90p would do me to sell off my last batch, so let's hope it's a good week
not had Guttersnipes prediction for next week yet, maybe he will have a look at his tealeaves later on
but best of luck
Good morning Soton and Phyl, proper old codgers share this one lol, but reliable is good
I have a few shares that are usually in profit that i want to keep hold on to, that's lgen/aviv/mng/and poss. Lloyds
The plan is to reduce some of them to around 5 or 10% of my portfolio and hold around 60 to70% in funds that i can draw down on when required, but before achieving this i have a few dog shares i hope i can dispose of at some point
will be watching how high these shares will rise before exdiv before making any decisions
best of luck all
