On a medium term view this price may look cheap Dr.


Would like to see how the share price reacts on a couple of weaker
days for the UKX.

[dr biotech] 06/10/2017 09:42

Well I bought more this morning. Still not in my top ten holdings though.

[pacemaker1000] 05/10/2017 23:21

Yep more propaganda moving to cpi. It's as if rpi has been erased from the press vocabulary.

[dmf] 05/10/2017 21:33

Many companies have now moved from RPI to CPI, this is likely to be the norm going forward

[uberc00l] 05/10/2017 20:23

Critical? no, will create a saving at loyal pensioners expense - yes. but what would help is a reasonable interest rate rise and not trying to wriggle out of something just because it doesn't suit

[dmf] 05/10/2017 16:10

What is critical is that the inflation increase needs to move from RPI to CPI which would help alleviate BT pension deficit.
BT needs.to provide clarity once results announced, or likelihood of success in there referral to th High Court, that it falls within the remit of thert pension fund rules

[funkey n] 05/10/2017 15:07

as long as BT have similar figures as last result and no cut in divi then fire brigade for shorters

[toon1966] 05/10/2017 08:38

Nice post Pacemaker. BT already have a new Chairman and hopefully BTPS will take a leaf out of Tesco's book when carrying out it's own review and use the stat that people are now not living as long and so enable them to reduce the pension deficit. That's exactly what Tesco have done. We do need to hear some good news coming out of BT but unfortunately at present this is non-existent.

[pacemaker1000] 04/10/2017 17:17

DMF you could hold off for the results, new chairman, new CEO, court case, pension review, Vodafone to help out, Deutsche Bank to up its rating, DT to buy it out, Openreach split, government grant, global services sell off or approval of the guaranteed minimum speed plan. plus a few more in the pipeline probably.
All have the potential to move the share price either way but my bet is up.

[montyhedge] 04/10/2017 14:22

Still expensive, p.e 14. Dividend only thing holding share price up. My forecast for 2018 if dividend cut or passsed 185p.

[charles clore] 04/10/2017 14:09

This has to be somewhere near the bottom now... doesn't it?

[essentialinvestor] 04/10/2017 14:05

None of us possess the gift of prescience.

There could be yet more unexpectedly bad news to come.

The best I can say is sentiment is dire, so market expectations
are already low.

[dmf] 04/10/2017 13:29

Andy......So glad i did not listen to the 'bulls' on this thread.

I am waiting for a fair value to buy.......In reality does anyone really know where a good entry point on BT is....of course not !!!

All the news on BT is negative, this has to be factored into the share price going forward !

[andy84uk] 04/10/2017 13:25

DMF you literally come up with different numbers every day, you have no idea what you are talking about.

[essentialinvestor] 04/10/2017 12:52

4% is still a very attractive yield.

[dmf] 04/10/2017 12:52

185 would be a good entry point

[essentialinvestor] 04/10/2017 12:49

Surely if they invested some of that money
in price cuts it would be more advantageous than these sky high bids
for sports rights, given the abysmal viewing figures.

[dmf] 04/10/2017 12:49

Will continue to monitor BT stock price.

If, as expected a dramatic gap down happens - would look to buy

[dmf] 04/10/2017 12:46

Smurfy

Interesting article FT Alphaville

BT needs to bid at a sensible level - IF they are do not obtain the rights - so what -
Football viewing has dropped, this is not critical to BT's core activities. CEO position looks like on borrowed time if reduce divi to pay football rights - just madness!!

[essentialinvestor] 04/10/2017 12:27

Football rights? Has anyone looked at the Champions League viewing figures?.

[montyhedge] 04/10/2017 12:26

185p if dividend cut in my view, that's the only thing holding it at this level.

[toon1966] 04/10/2017 10:31

For those who are concerned about BT's pension deficit, here's an article from the Telegraph today reporting on Tesco's results but more importantly how Tesco have more than 'halved' their deficit;

[essentialinvestor] 04/10/2017 08:43

That's the price I sold at, soon we if it's support, you may be right.

[chapchip] 04/10/2017 08:41

nice bounce back, perhaps there is good support at 2.82
