Bt Share Discussion Threads

todays planted story in the telegraph is an old story been running for a while.
BT receives HMG subsidies to ensure that remote rural areas have fast broadband.
probably not a cost effective investment for a private company without some sort of aid.

I understand that this has been challenged in the past but defeated in the European courts.
Rules were not deemed to be broken.

Just ahead of the results, you have to admire those that put this stuff out. Kills sentiment.
Always suspect the motive.

Agree. I would not touch.

[essentialinvestor] 25/10/2017 13:29

Monty, that GSK report looks weak imv.

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 13:28

All down to the figures, if decent then a bounce, if not then capitulation.

[careful] 25/10/2017 13:26

BT shares have experienced a catastrophic collapse of almost 50%.
how much capitulation is left?

[toon1966] 25/10/2017 13:03

DMF - you seem to be working yourself into a real tizzy over the fall in BT's SP, using words such a rapid, swift, downward, capitulation, catalyst and cut. Why don't you go and have lie down like a good chap?

[dr biotech] 25/10/2017 12:58

Perhaps Q2 will be a chance to put the Italian affair behind it and move on. As with a share that gains has to prove itself with its results, a share that fallen will have to do the opposite. In line results or better will send this substantially imo

[dmf] 25/10/2017 12:47

There needs rapid swift downward movement in share price for capitulation......perhaps Q2 will be the catalyst ?

[essentialinvestor] 25/10/2017 12:37

Yields look on the way up.

Fat FX move. Interest rate increase next month now odds on.

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 12:35

I don't think a dividend cut.

[dmf] 25/10/2017 12:32

No doubt BT is a value play, but watch out for a dividend cut in next week’s Q2 update

If results are not up to market expectations share price will collapse !!

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 10:23

Every bull been trying to catch the low, been a mugs game. Result massive stale bull position built up.

[oakville] 25/10/2017 10:05

2.40 sorry.

[oakville] 25/10/2017 10:04

1.40 is the new floor.

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 09:54

I like Lloyds good value, Core Tier 1 is 17 thats incredible.

[essentialinvestor] 25/10/2017 09:19

Monty, and view on Lloyds?. Traded a couple of small lots this morning.

[essentialinvestor] 25/10/2017 09:18

In the orbit of results now, may be extra volatile.

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 08:56

DMFWe all know a Hold with a reduced target price is another way of saying a Sell. Lol

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 08:46

If they don't pull there finger out and report something positive, my forecast is 195p for 2018.

[essentialinvestor] 25/10/2017 08:44

Added a small amount. Last sale was at 275.6.

[montyhedge] 25/10/2017 08:43

Not brilliant forecast on the charts.

[dmf] 25/10/2017 08:40

Jefferies International - Reiterates hold - reduced tp 265

'Rural broadband deal under threat as Government talks with Openreach hit legal problems'

A proposed £600m deal between the Government and BT’s network subsidiary Openreach to deliver superfast broadband to 1.4 million rural homes faces legal hurdles.

It is understood that legal advisers have raised concerns that a voluntary offer from Openreach could be challenged in the courts as unfair state support.

DMF - which 'free platforms' are you talking about? I'm sure if someone company/entity were broadcasting free Premier League/Champions League games in the UK then BT/Sky/UEFA/Premier League would take action. Remember BT Sport has the sole UK rights to the Champions League.
