Hi all can't believe this didn't finish in the mid to late 120's well guess that's why i drive a lorry and am not a stock broker.....

All bets are off Dan this could go sky high who knows? maybe someone else has been building a position and not come out yet.....

yes will be interesting this week can't see a bad side to this.....hopefully will break the 140 wishful thinking but who knows....

Good god....what i said oh never mind.....

Still hard to believe Dan they brought !0% of the company without an upward trend to the share price... if that many shares were sold with no buyers the share price would be below £1...sure your gonna put me right on that statement...waiting with bated breath.....

I didn't see the government bail out BP or Shell when the oil price slumped..... as for the windfall tax drop in the ocean wouldn't make that much difference to the general public just makes the politicians look good trying to garner more votes IMO

Hi Dan i think what Narcus meant by Nick Read be "quaking in his boots" is he could be out of a job very soon if things don't improve as for how could they buy that many shares on the open market is a valid question still trying to figure that out myself that's 10% of the company and the shares have gone down over the last few months

must admit was close to selling BT when it got down to the 120 mark but held on..... anyway my average there is 220 so some way to go but think it will rise next month when Drahi's intentions become clear sorry vodders gone a bit off track chatting about BT

Hi Shaun.....this etf follows the best paying dividend companies due to the pandemic a lot of dividends were cut hence the drop here as the dividends rise it will follow suit this gives a nice passive income without any hassle....

Fleccy.....guess it doesn't matter how they got hold the shares they still own 10% of the company and your right about Drahi he owns 18% of BT would he have to declare more purchases? as the 6 month lay off ends next month....

Thanks for that Mesh.....just found this....The company, formerly known as Etisalat Group and now rebranded as e&, offered about 130 pence ($1.59) a share for the stake, according to Bloomberg calculations. That’s a premium of about 10% to Vodafone’s closing price of 117.82 pence on Friday. The purchase makes the UAE-based company the largest shareholder in Vodafone, ahead of BlackRock Inc., the Vanguard Group Inc., and HSBC Holdings Plc, according to Bloomberg data. .....so they obviously see an up side to this be amazed if this doesn't hit the high 130's tomorrow saying that this is Vodafone we're talking about.....

Hi Rob Dan etc....interesting times not sure what's gonna happen tomorrow but this has got to open 130 as for the end of week going to stick my neck out and say 140 optimistic i know but fingers crossed.....as an after thought how can someone buy nearly 1o% of a company and the share price as been on the decline for the last mouth or so? do they buy in drips and drabs of a whole lot in one go?

Well well well.......last weeks prediction was a complete debacle......1-30 lol thought i was on for a winner with that....never mind onwards and upwards hopefully.....this really is under valued can only see a rise here so gonna have a go at 1-25.....well done csdi you were very close the previous weeks so a well deserved winner....

I have no idea if split into two shouldn't be classed as a dividend. but surely if held in an isa it's tax free?

Clued.....think you can only receive £2000 tax free on dividends held outside of an isa so would think you would be liable to pay the tax man depending how many shares you hold as this Share Consolidation would be classed as a dividend .....

My thinking on this if you hold Aviva shares in an isa it will be tax free.....sure someone with a better knowledge then mine will be able to answer better then me....

Hi all...Back from hols what a week that was.....the only stock i made any money was on BP...apart from that it was all down hill....anyway enough of the moaning ....next weeks finish i will have a punt on 1.30 if it hasn't been picked yet....

Good question.....reduced shares with the consolidation if it gets voted for.....so i reckon around the 10p per share as last years interim was 7.35p

Yep your right about timing i was lucky enough to get in here at 245 topped up at just under 400 have an average of 330...don.t worry i'm not the messiah as i have an average of Lloyds stock at 59 long way to go on that one.....must admit i hold Lgen that as been a good holding as well so i guess insurers are the way to go at the moment......both pay an excellent divi as we all know

just had a look at the states OMG take cover come Tuesday morning.....
