I read somewhere that income was up 17% but don’t believe anything until tomorrow

Very rare for BT shares to have a large increase on results day.
Even when results seem perfectly good, a fall in share price has been the norm in recent past. hope tomorrow is an exception.

A swing back up to 280 on the back of a completed inverse head and shoulders would not surprise me. Could tomorrow's results be the catalyst?

it might also raise a whole lot more!!

tomorrow will answer a lot of questions.

Does Du Plessis have any form on dividends.

[careful] 06/5/2018 09:38

Sunday Telegraph suggests the odds are 50;50 of a slight dividend cut.
As a holder I am not bothered.
They should do what is right for the long term health of the business.
But dividends do show that shareholders, who own the business, are considered to be important, not treated with contempt.

Sunday times have an article that BT will tackle the pension deficit by cutting staff and offloading unprofitable businessses. No mention of dividend cuts.

Plans to put in £800 ml per annum over 16 years with £1bn upfront.

Not holding

Hopefully get rid of some dead wood - just what was needed after BT caved-in on the pensions. Look after us shareholders first, is what I say.

Rumoured pension top ups look expensive.

careful
Sorry for the Friday night rant

Errrr I wonder how that would work out as BT would be paying on average 2 x annual salary for a 20yr plus employee....... saving from one pot and spending more from another, the BT accountants are very creative.......

Take no notice of charts, never heard of a rich chartist.

Bounce on the upper trend line. Breathing a sigh of relief.
