Bt Share Discussion Threads

thanks I did not check.

I was just making the point that nearly every share I have ever owned and sold has either halved or doubled over a 5 year year period.

Cant think of any at all that have not.
Shell, BP, Tesco, Mks, RMS, lloy.......the list is endless.

It is hard to look away and take a longer term view.

If BT are about 250p in 2 years time it will have been a great investment at todays price but think of those who owned at £5.

Kaz went down to 75p

these high frequency program traders just follow the trend.
millions of trades each day.
all shares become Bitcoin these days, nothing to do with value or prospect.

I remember my near disaster with kaz the copper miner which was driven down to about 188p.
I bought all the way down and was losing a fortune.

I sold out a few months later for a decent profit of 30%.
..far too soon selling at about 250p.

It was a disaster in another way, today they are £10.

It may take a few years buy buyers of BT at todays price will do well.

Careful, do you not hold something like Merchants Trust?.
Diversified, nice yield, trading near an all time high. Focussed on UKX, MCX stocks.

LOOKS LIKE SHORTS CLOSING IMO, price slightly lower but buy/sell ratio favours buys

I am in quite heavily here and have been buying this morning.
I put my faith in Jan du Plessis (the chairman) because of his track record.
Also he has invested £1m of his own money recently and Gavin Patterson has started to make the right noises at last.

They could make a good team going forward with the Chairman as the mentor.
He is South African,64, good track record, £1 million invested, problems identified.

Must keep the faith here, BT should become a strong sound company.
Things looking staggeringly grim at the moment.
Obviously the institutions who manage our money are not tempted.

58% down in 2.5 years.(in a rising market).
easy to lose a fortune in this market.
Those that encourage stock market investments never mention such disasters.

The trouble with the aggressive regulation of ms. White, is that she does not give BT the guarantees they need if they are to invest millions into fibre.
The regulator in the past has made BT give away its assets for next to nothing to competitors, using the lame excuse that it encourages competition.
BT need a fairer deal.

It is not helped that prominent Tories have a personal stake in some fast fibre start ups.
They all hate BT. Too many vindictive enemies after its business.

If Sharon White stepped down I think BT shares would rise 100p, lol

You bide your time.
You make your investment.
You bide your time.

Think she is married to a Tory MP.

[montyhedge] 15/5/2018 11:24

She seems to have a vendetta against BT.

[the_boy_plunger] 15/5/2018 11:24

buy out from some1 clued up would work?!

LOL

Sharon White's recent comment -


'Incumbents face a choice in my view: fibre-up or risk fading away. History is strewn with once-successful companies that failed to anticipate and act on shifts in customer demands and to innovate. Think Kodak . . . R21;

[montyhedge] 15/5/2018 11:10

Be patient collect 7.4% dividend until these are bid for. I'm convinced with the weak pound as well, these will be taken over.http://www.capacitymedia.com/Article/3790075/Deutsche-Telekom-CEO-says-BT-attractive-a-year-before-embargo-on-bid-expires

[essentialinvestor] 15/5/2018 11:01

Can anyone take a guess how much BT have spent so far on Sports acquisition rights?


The amount surprised me - £5 BILLION.

Or about half the pension deficit.

[dmf] 15/5/2018 10:39

180/190 would be a good entry point - certainly would buy at that price !

[kmann] 15/5/2018 10:35

Buy volume increasing.
