He just announced that he wants to boycott the iphone!
I think I have to agree with him on that one :)

Interesting Bloomberg take on the 2 potential paths for the Turkey resolution.



SCENARIO #1: THE MARKET HOLDS UP
(usual buy the dip stuff but with added caution note)

SCENARIO #2: THE MARKET KEEPS FALLING
A confluence of spreading contagion fears, a lack of positive catalysts (or catalysts in general), and a more-illiquid-than-usual market takes the S&P cash index back towards near-term support at ~2,800, a level that has been tested successfully multiple times since last month’s breakout. A rotation into the more defensive sectors (utilities, REITs, telecom, consumer staples) will likely play out, especially if we begin to show weakness below the aforementioned support level.

Agreed Ham, I also have every confidence that the share price is heading higher over time. I’m happy to hold and enjoy the ride, and collect the dividends on offer.

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2018 08:25

I think the share price will creep back up to 240p+ area over the next week or two.
The trajectory angle of the share price since 7th June looks nice. Before, any attempted recoveries were a lot steeper and rolled over quickly (on each previous attempt, the shooting up quickly was a good sign, showing that investors were prepared to pile in). If you look at the 1 year chart for example you can see this recovery line is nice and straight (even allowing for divi). I am no chartist but I like the look of the share price path.

Hopefully the new CEO will bump up nicely as well.

And if it takes a year or two or even three to get back up towards previous levels, I can happily wait.

Private debt - maybe another Iceland solution?

Good article on the Turkey crisis.



"Had Mr Erdoğan thought through the ramifications of his ultra-loose policy, he would have put money aside to deal with foreseeable crises. This would have meant accumulating enough foreign exchange reserves to meet all repayments, and interest on foreign debt falling over the next year. Turkey would need about $180bn. Instead Mr Erdoğan has less than half of that and a crisis he cannot pay for."

And this article explains the problem of the IMF or others offering a bailout as most the debt is corporate debt rather than state debt. Turkey is definitely not the only country to borrow loads in dollars, yen, etc.



"In Turkey's case, the plot line is a little different, however. Where the other debt crises generally involved government borrowing, Turkey's is mostly a corporate story, making the bailout mechanics more complicated and thus raising fears that what started in a small country with only marginal systemic importance on its face could quickly escalate."

But in that last article, people are confident it can be contained. I don't wish to give anyone nightmares ;)

#1ham is still the number one here, what say you udik, I'm sorry I mean diku!

awise
You done well. But don't decide on investing what any posters post, everyone has their own agenda, including me of course if long or short.

[awise355] 13/8/2018 14:45

No, no influence.Just pulling a little out of total portfolio that exists of oil producers..

[hamhamham1] 13/8/2018 14:12

But it's certainly not going to move any different to Vodafone or IAG.

The problem is Erdogan doesn't like high interest rates...

"The president, who has called himself the "enemy of interest rates", wants cheap credit from banks to fuel growth, but investors fear the economy is overheating and could be set for a hard landing."

[hamhamham1] 13/8/2018 14:11

I guess it hinges on if Turkey wack up their interest rates by 5-10% or do capital controls?
They have indicated they might at 12:30 hence the 1% pop everywhere.

Monty's predictions are always predicated on whether he is seeking an entry - or the exit.

[montyhedge] 13/8/2018 14:08

[hamhamham1] 13/8/2018 13:36

Seems Monty's early morning trolling prediction of a "timberrrr" for the BT share price is as accurate as usual :)

[richard4796] 13/8/2018 11:43
