Aye true. But, that is what the market does.

[pacemaker1000] 14/8/2018 23:01

I agree Carter would be good. Just don’t get the market reaction to the news?
If you read the article he’s still in the running.
Why punish BT on hearsay?

[mbmiah] 14/8/2018 21:11

I don't understand your question pace. Carter would have been a good candidate for his regulator links.

[pacemaker1000] 14/8/2018 19:31

So, how has the refusal so far of Carter caused the drastic share price drop?

[mbmiah] 14/8/2018 18:11

Sounds to me like Mr Carter wants more dosh. Hmmmm.

i resisted iPhones for years but have to confess they are just so much better than the competition. Wife has been struggling with a new Android since Xmas and cant wait to get rid of it.
No longer a status symbol just better!

Well been looking for my next investment and stumbled on QLT today. 12p div coming up there.

I think the whole of the world is going to be pretty interesting come September / October / November, with trade wars, Brexit negotiations (inc. Parliament infighting), US Mid-terms & the newly named 'fragile five' currencies (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and South Africa join Turkey as the weakest links).
That's ignoring Italy, Iran, etc.

[mbmiah] 14/8/2018 16:01

I'd say if we finish at 225, then we'll see a bounce later this week. 215 finish would be rocky.

Does anyone know what percentage (or value) of BTs market capital is available in the US on the ADR (ADS) market?

I guess it could be as many as are in demand?
ie - If a US investor wishes to buy 10 BT ADRs, if there is no local liquidity, then 50 UK BT shares could be transferred across via brokers to the US to meet the demand?



But the number of current ADRs held in the US would be nice to know.

[montyhedge] 14/8/2018 15:35

Yes your right 215p short term target.

[mbmiah] 14/8/2018 14:52

Chart looking better now, we need this drop

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2018 11:28

Careful. It's too late to halt the China plan. China did the biggest sucker punch to the US manufacturers and they fell for it. Now they dependent on China for their own US manufacturing, they built the Chinese manufacturing base, Chinese skilled workers, Chinese Hi-Tech, Chinese oversea resources, Chinese middle class and Chinese government wealth.
Door...Stable...Horse...Bolted.

Wait until the Chinese ban Apple products in this trade war.
That is when the market will notice and the fun starts.
Americans delude themselves they would not do that because component manufacturers in China would suffer.

Don't bet on it, this is becoming a high stakes game of poker.
There is as much chance of forcing the egotistical Trump into an embarrassing climbdown as getting Adolf to apologise for invading Russia.

How would he react?

[ekuuleus] 14/8/2018 11:08

what an idiot.

A lot of People buy iphone because it is a status symbol. Erdogan's plea just makes it more of a status symbol.

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2018 10:47

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

[eeza] 14/8/2018 10:28

Erdogan. Face-saved ?? Lol !!!!!!!

[careful] 14/8/2018 10:16

they will release the guy that allegedly tried too organise the coup.
that will make Trump look like a hero.
Face saved problem solved, tariffs removed.

[hamhamham1] 14/8/2018 10:11

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.

Progress being made. "BT and EE consumer marketing unified under single role" - hxxps://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/bt-ee-consumer-marketing-unified-single-role/1490279

As ever a 'good' start to the week from Montyhedge, lets hope he 'keeps it up', I'm sure his wife will, oooh err Mrs!

Private debt - maybe another Iceland solution?
