Might help to calm a few people down - and I'm not even a Tory supporter.


Far more pressing concerns to worry about re equity markets, like deterioration in macro etc
impacting earnings and valuations.

OH - Labour say they will directly give share holders government bonds for their shares at the valuation that Labour say the shares are worth - No cash to be given to the share holders.

Loganair - That would mean a rush to sell government bonds lowering their yield again. If Labour start to look like they have a chance of winning foreign investors in government bonds will pull out prior to the election further lowering bond yields. Surely they mean that they will pay cash to shareholders and raise this money from the issue of long dated government bonds?

Being reported Nationalising BT will destroy Kcom's business model, they will go out of business as will other companies be badly effected.

[loganair] 15/11/2019 10:43

Labour say they would Nationalise these companies by giving Government bonds paying virtually no interest in exchange for the shares.

I’m not a holder here but if I was I’d sell now because I’m surprised the share price has held up so well so far but can’t see that continuing.

The big problem with BT is and has always been that the employees aren't multi-tasking. E.g. you can't find a customer service employee that can deal with Broadband and Telephone. They hive you off to different departments for each.

Free broadband for everyone will be a massive boost for online gambling and porn.

Had BT fibre installed, six mini discs, superb speed, can complete nearly with high frequency traders, lol.BT Fibre a winner.

[jack1236] 15/11/2019 10:35

Well, Gavin Pattison, yes the BT Guru starts two new high paying jobs in October.

[essentialinvestor] 15/11/2019 10:33

Of more relevance is the amount reportedly agreed to retain CL coverage.

Find the price hard to justify myself, but would hope they
know what they are doing.

[montyhedge] 15/11/2019 10:30

Lol, joking aside, of course Labour no chance, I see BT 210p by Xmas, easily with The Santa Rally.

Corbyn - Chairman of the Board

John McDonald - CEO & CFO

[essentialinvestor] 15/11/2019 10:26

The SNP are not going to p1ss off hundreds of thousands of small shareholders
by agreeing to below market privatisations imv- if they get another referendum they
need every vote available.

Look at the UK water utilities, the SP's have been rising for months.

[montyhedge] 15/11/2019 10:22

Corbyn new CEO of BT lol,

[warranty] 15/11/2019 10:21

I’d love to believe Corbyn has no chance of being in charge but a hung Parliament is entirely possible and a Labour government supported by the SNP would agree to anything, including another Inderef. The Scots wouldn’t care about the rest of the UK as long as they got what they wanted so I wouldn’t be quite so sure re-nationalisation could never happen.

The Tory’s have done a cracking job so far of sabotaging their position just as Teresa May did last time. Sadly Parliament is full of incompetents so I wouldn’t rely on them for anything I’m afraid.

The 'US' Sub Prime scandal, some banks copied the innovative way David Bowie sold rights to his back 'catalog'.

Hopefully some creative banker will do that with my back 'echograms'.

[ekuuleus] 15/11/2019 10:12

Rown wanted house market boom. Mortgage equity withdrawal allowed happy feel good feeling g of wealth. But it's actually a reduction tion of wealth. Still it helped with taxes for a while but now we are all broke

[jack1236] 15/11/2019 10:10

BT customers are paying to sustain the BT pension scheme, that's been the case for years, apparently there has been a 'shortfall' for years.

[pogue] 15/11/2019 10:05

LAMMERGEIER
The reason the banks collapsed is there was ‘light touch regulation’ as heavily promoted by Gordon Brown and who reaped the benefits of the tax receipts of a booming City of London. Afterwards to shift the blame he said it was all the banks fault, which is was, but if you are in charge, as Brown was, who really is to blame for the unregulated business that was being done?
Don’t listen to politicans they never tell the truth one simple fact though Labour always screw the economy

Most people who are putting money into a pension are BT share holders.

John McDonald said when Labour nationalise these companies the value of them will be determined by the Labour Party at the time.

[george stobbart] 15/11/2019 09:32

You must a lunatic or a radical extremest to vote Labour. These guys are out of control.

[kenmitch] 15/11/2019 09:31

Chances of a majority Labour Goverment are tiny. Hence BT share price soon recovering initial drop. A hung Parliament IS possible, but presumably no chance then of Labour getting this through.

So it looks nothing much to worry about for BT shareholders....and also the current bombed out share price is already pricing in the huge costs of developing 5G.

There might well be a dividend cut to help pay for it. As when VOD cut theirs, market reaction could be positive.
