Bt Share Discussion Threads

And I think we need to prepare for a Labour government. Corbyn just said he will let the members decide if Labour will support a second peoples vote as part of their party policy. It will be interesting to see if a second vote is guaranteed to be part of Labours policy - its all in the wording of the vote question on Tuesday, if so, could go something like this:
1. Labour members (Momentum) vote to support the second referendum, this becomes Labour policy (EU will then engineer their offer towards a second vote).
2. Theresa May comes back with a deal (or no deal) from EU which is voted down in parliament.
3. May won't call a second referendum, so has no option but to call a snap election.
4. Labour wins and get into government based upon holding a second referendum (plus a few other vote winners, like removing university fees, renationalising trains, water, etc.)
5. Second referendum held, UK votes to stay in EU, with help of plenty of carrot dangling from EU (part of which will be giving the nod to Labour about renationalisation as long as European companies are compensated - EU decided this is better than letting UK leave the EU).
6. Corbyn and McDonnell roll out their socialist renationalisation programme.
7. The UK economy tanks under the debt and policies.

Let's see!

Corbyn reluctantly has to see this path as his only route to government and will grab it I think.

Edit.
I guess the Tories could replace their leader if an election is announced and then the Tories could change their policy as well backing a second referendum as well - to steel Labours thunder. Then ironically all 3 major parties would go into a snap election supporting a second referendum!

As much as I don't like to admit it, Sky has an enviable tv platform with a lovely user experience front end. But as I said before, I don't want BT to compete against Sky for tv platform and content, it's a money pit.
Regarding Sky, one thing for sure, prices going to go up in the future to pay back the buyers purchasing loans.

Historically BT was 2/3rds of Sky for a long time.
Beggars belief it’s perceived value for what is an advertising company in an era that’s moving away from it!
On demand is where it is, advertising as we know it is dead as is satellite as a delivery system.
Unbelievable!

Sky bought for £30bn crazy. Let’s hope BT are next.

Diku. If Monty wants to poke investors and flip-flop on praising a share then trashing it based purely upon his in-out investment position then thry must expect it.

ham...here here cut some slack for monty...no need to be so nasty and direct...

All interesting stuff, it was only Wednesday when Worldpay announced that Jansen was stepping down at the end of the year.

I wonder if this is just Sky news putting 2 and 2 together to make 5?

[hamhamham1] 22/9/2018 16:03

Monty sneared here "best short in the FTSE" - he's not just a plank, he's a nasty plank to boot.

[hamhamham1] 22/9/2018 14:27

Yep, I worked a couple of years at Worldpay up till after the float.
Was a lovely new HQ, could watch the Bloomberg new European HQ being built next door from the lunch area. Although for lunch I preferred their old office near Aldgate East tube, lunch then was Sticky Wings in Brick Lane, or street food from the Old Truman Brewery or Petticoat Lane. I am a lot thinner since i left!

Sky news has rumours of the new CEO.

Interesting to see share price reaction on Monday.

Great article:

[mbmiah] 21/9/2018 08:02

Six and two threes Ham, as in no real difference.

[hamhamham1] 21/9/2018 07:39

Mbm. 6 2 3 ???

[mbmiah] 20/9/2018 21:07

No point getting frustrated now. We all knew it was going to be a sloooow process. All in all I think it will be 6 2 3 if you ask me.

[pacemaker1000] 20/9/2018 16:43

Hopefully we stay in and the tide is turning that way. Maybe common sense will prevail. We’ll all benefit financially, especially here, and get back what this shambles has already cost us! Shame that many BT employees have already lost their jobs though.
Sticking just to BT, can anyone see a brighter future outside the EU that will make up for the already lost income and staff?

[wllmherk] 20/9/2018 16:27

Quicker we leave the better. Couldn't care less if it's a no deal divorce, as long as we leave.

wllm

[toon1966] 20/9/2018 15:48

It makes me laugh when they use the term 'EU 27', because most sensible people know they mean the 'EU 2', or better still 'M & M'. No surprise they rejected the UK proposals....

[hamhamham1] 20/9/2018 14:48

EU not happy with Chequers plan. As I said before here, it's going to be a bumpy ride just agreeing a deal let alone getting it voted through parlaiment. No chance. Time will tell.

[hamhamham1] 19/9/2018 08:07

Monty said BT is the best short in the FTSE....???
I am more than happy to sit on these - and yes Monty - these are the only shares I hold - and that's because I like BT and I like the price. (and am mostly in cash - in case you thought I was all in).
