Oh dear this is not looking great

Monty, finding it very difficult to see much I ike atm.
Had some MARS yesterday before the close ahead of today's update,
noticed the CEO had bought 3 times recently.

BT has sold off repeatedly towards the second half of the day,
can't call a low, however medium term risk/reward looks reasonable, provided no more bad news!!.

Montyhedge....You are absolutely right.

In my opinion the only possible benefit if BT pension fund is moved from RPI to CPI, which i think would affect some 80,000 pensioners !

Good luck, I just can't see where any good news coming from, EU, Ofcom, Sky, Talk Talk, Pension liability's, Football costs gone mad, Italy as that ended, the only thing is the dividend, if cut, Gavin would fall on he's sword, shareprice 210p. But if increased that would change things.

I added a couple of k under 278, still unsure if any type of low is in.

Cleaning work, ancillary nursing positions in the NHS heavily rely on migrants,
many English will just not do those jobs.

[pacemaker1000] 10/10/2017 09:09

BT's loss due to Brexit is factored in and hopefully the sell of GS will eliminate its future dependence on profits outside th UK. Where it just needs to be left alone to get on with improving infrastructure without being bullied on a daily basis by Sky and Talktalk

Cameron should be lynched.

[essentialinvestor] 10/10/2017 09:06

careful, as someone who has experience of the care sector in London and the SE,
just try to recruit indiginous English nationals to do that work,
many won't, they think it's below them, without migratory labour the
care system and many aspects of the NHS would fall apart.

Of course you won't read that in the Daily Fail or Express.

there are many shares 30-40% off their peaks of recent years.
RMG, CNA, BT.A, TSCO,SBRY, and many others.
Amazing the ftse100 is close to its all time high.

Brexit and the resulting collapse in the £ is one answer.
Things will get much worse, Brexit has not even started yet.
Only the currency lets us know what the money markets think it will be like.

All of those lorries at Dover taking goods out, bringing immigrants back.
What is to become of this once proud but accident prone, bungling nation of ours?

[essentialinvestor] 10/10/2017 08:54

Tempted to have a small amount of CNA, not sure we have seen the low yet.
However would put CNA in a higher risk category than BT.A, just my take only.

Diku - in terms of Centrica the share price is down 42% over the last five years and has not been helped recently by the Governments proposed price capping.....

[diku] 10/10/2017 08:17

I don't know about others but household names are down & going down for the year....BT down... Barc down...Centrica down...etc etc and don't mention strong or weak pound...2 tier FTSE...Miners up!......

[essentialinvestor] 10/10/2017 08:16

Friday was not even a blip in the share price Although it did let me sell my Thursday trade).

[dmf] 10/10/2017 08:08

Agreed, this will drop much further

[montyhedge] 10/10/2017 08:06

Massive stale bull positions built up, everyone seem to pile in 380p to 385p. Spreadbetters with Daily funded positions and are long, holding these positions work out expensive. Capitulation as not taken place yet, in my opinion.

[diku] 09/10/2017 21:41

They mugged the punters with a buy upto last Friday...today neutral stance...punters locked in..stop this share recommendations across the Plc casino markets...



Also downgraded by Citigroup ... 'buy' to 'neutral' tp from 360p to 310p

Government faces EU scrutiny over 'illegal state aid' of BT in push for ultrafast broadband

[montyhedge] 09/10/2017 17:37

That 3rd quarter better be decent, otherwise I see 255p.

[willoicc] 09/10/2017 16:02

What is it about the government, and Ofcom, that they think the best way to provide a cost effective service for customers, is to divide the profits between 3 or 4 'competitors' rather than regulate one provider?

What sort of competition allows 'competitors' to charge exactly the same line rental?

It seems to me BT is charging its line rental customers more than they should, solely to recover the huge sums they are paying for Premiership football, whether the customer wants it or not.

What capital investment does SKY make in the phone network?

[careful] 09/10/2017 16:02

why have Goldman given this a high target price.
what is their thinking?
BT cash flow is important thought by some to be important.

One worry is aggressive regulation.
The utilities are soft targets and with Corbyn waiting in the wings, the Tories will be radical and beastly to prove the privatisation/regulation model is good for consumers.

A while until next ex divi date 28 December.

[ny boy] 09/10/2017 15:52

On the chart technicals lost support at 283p, really needs to regain control and f that level, it's where the Director/s bought a shed load in June, surely they must know, in order to buy at that level?

[minerve] 09/10/2017 12:49

Watching, waiting and learning more.....
