Higher yielding defensives gaining support again, BATS trading over £50 atm.

Not sure i would class BT as a defensive following recent events, but hey ho.

pivot point reached. next move should be interesting

[dynamic2005] 08/2/2017 14:10

Close above 310 likely to start next wave to 337.....good luck all.

[blueball] 08/2/2017 13:25

312p finish today.

[younasm] 08/2/2017 13:09

These should close above 310p today :-)

Far far field away I can see monty coming to respond for the reason to buy!...

[renew] 08/2/2017 11:44

Is 4.5% really a good return!! Plenty of other places to park cash that beat that.
With no growth on the horizon wheres the reason to buy?

[diku] 08/2/2017 11:29

Hope Google is reading your post!...

[jofresh72] 08/2/2017 11:22

Shame,BT will burst soon?

[pasteymorris] 08/2/2017 11:06

Yes but no one is arguing that (with hindsight) 500 was a good time to buy. I can just see people discussing that they believe it is good value now?

[diku] 08/2/2017 10:59

The yield is only good if the share price keeps on going up!...anybody who bought shares around 480p - 500p thinking the yield was good but now their capital has taken a hit...they are now locked in hoping for the best...

joshondale & PastyMorris

It is an hypothesis! I used it to demonstrate the bizarre situation where people are pleased they have got more shares in their dividend being reinvested than they expected - because of the share price falling in this instance. Whichever way you pack it that should be something of concern.

In no way whatsoever does my hypothesis imply I believe the company is going bust or in reality you can get a company of zero value paying infinite dividends.

Took advantage this morning and taken a few more.Director buys and HSBC stating £4.25 yesterday plus the thing I am really after and that is the yield.

Very sticky mud!...where is monty no;2?...

[oakville] 08/2/2017 08:47

Looking like another day stuck in the mud.

[pasteymorris] 08/2/2017 07:35

Josh - agreed. Was replying to Minerve the millionaire trying to turn a valid comment into a 'hypothesis' and using a terrible example of an infinite number of shares, that wouldn't cost anything but pay a dividend being a bad thing to argue it.

BT have used these accountancy issues to try and cover up the bigger picture .They've spent too much establishing a digital TV service without foreseeing the acceleration into the martlet of big boys Netflix and Amazon . The way people subscribe/ watch tv has rapidly change and is constantly reinventing itself .BT , Sky and Virgin will all struggle over the next few years

[joshondale] 08/2/2017 05:11

No chance of going bust.

[pasteymorris] 08/2/2017 00:00

Not sure they would pay a dividend if they go bust.

[minerve] 07/2/2017 21:02

Yes, let the shares fall.

Take the hypothesis to its extreme and you have a dividend reinvestment which is an infinite number of shares in a company worth zero! Yippee!

[blueball] 07/2/2017 20:56

Next stop 312p.

[montyhedge] 07/2/2017 19:25

Yes that's a nice bonus.
