Good news ?!

Labour is fixing the dilapidated house with short, medium and long-term investment strategies. Will need to be patient if we're to fix the destruction of 14 years of Tory austerity and £100b + mismanagement of tax/spend/fraud.

Berenberg predicts transition from "defensive" to "defensive growth" for European telecom stocks as it initiates or re-initiates coverage on 20 companies from the sector

It sees sustainable free cash flow growth of 10% annually for the sector over 2025-2030, following prolonged period of lacklustre returns and underperformance vs the wider market

The broker expects that savings in capital expenditure and operating expenditure will boost earnings, with gross capex and opex expected to fall by 5 billion euros and 2.5 billion euros per year respectively over 2025-2030 as telecoms operators complete their fibre/5G network roll outs and shut down copper/PSTN

It prefers European telecoms stocks that create value for investors, deliver positive cash returns momentum and screen as "relatively cheap" vs the sector

The broker's top picks include BT Group , Deutsche Telekom , Cellnex , Telecom Italia , SES , Zegona and Proximus , which it expects to offer the most upside for investors

And satisfactory results might see £22-£24 by year end?

I don't think the price reversal is explicable in terms of investors suddenly realizing there's an divi coming up. It's not like this is info kept secret?!

Massive drop then a whopping reversal? What's happening? Wishing I'd bought more at 160.6 earlier !

When a share price drops 10% or more, private investors tend to rush to buy in too early (catch a falling knife; FOMO = fear of missing out), only to see the shares that they bought at £22 or £20 plummeting to £17 or lower within days. When the shares finally recover, they sell out too early at £22, relieved that they've recovered their speculative capital. Wise investors wait for several more months and reap the reward as the shares edge up to £26 or even £30. Sounds familiar?!

Zooming through the £19 barrier ! A tasty treat would be £20 or £21 by the autumn?
