Bought back into BT - seems cheap as chips!

[dope007] 20/12/2021 15:48

Off topic for BT but just bought back my goodyear tyre shares in the ISA. They are far too cheap and should do well in the ISa alongside my BT in there

Exactly...look at VOD...brokers have buy ratings and share keep going down...why why why?...a PR stunt to win VOD business?...all these consultants, advisors , investment bankers are the ones making money out of BT and VOD...when something is at ground level (multi year lows) it is easy to make a case for a buy rating...how many of these brokers had a sell rating when BT was at 300p? or VOD at 220p?...

Key Points

The possibility of tighter restrictions being imposed over the Christmas holidays and into the new year looms over a number of European countries amid an unprecedented surge in Covid-19 cases.

The Netherlands entered full lockdown on Sunday until mid-January.

Cases have also begun to spiral stateside, with New York state and the District of Columbia posting record daily cases for consecutive days.

LONDON — European markets are set to slide on Monday, as the rapid spread of the omicron Covid-19 variant triggers stricter containment measures across the continent.

Britain’s FTSE 100 is set to fall around 121 points to 7,149, Germany’s DAX is expected to drop around 330 points to 15,202 and France’s CAC 40 is seen down around 150 points to 6,777, according to IG data.

BT Pension Scheme deficit falls on back of recovery plan
News on the go

On the go: The BT Pension Scheme deficit is expected to have improved by roughly £3.4bn over the year to June 2021 to around £4.6bn, due to sponsor contributions and strong returns on growth assets.

I presume the £60bn is the liability spread over years making he assumption that everyone will live until they are 100 and other 'prudent' estimates about inflation.

Then they look at the £50bn or so of assets and make 'prudent'assumptions about what investment returns can be made on it.
After these wild pessimistic (sorry I meant prudent) assumption they subtract the 2 numbers an come up with a deficit.
So BT make a payment each year to keep up.

Those slick operators on the share register who own 30% between them know all of this yet they still fill their boots.
Their actions and investments say it all.

£8billion and reducing. What's the issue? Another non-news story. Ain't the Times linked to SKY? Doubtless SKY are concerned about BT receiving further generous support Government inspired financial support......as well as an IPO in 2022 ? IT AINT 'ROCKET SCIENCE IS IT?

[pdosullivan] 18/12/2021 11:10

It is a bit sensationalist of the headline writer to zone in on the £60bn figure. That is just the liabilities. There are £52bn of assets against that. And the number of members of the pension scheme and their associated liabilities reduces every year. It has been closed to new members since 2001.

Article in today’s Times about BTs Pension deficit.
Not cheery and behind paywall at moment.

EMEA Morning Briefing: Stocks to Fall as Poilcy Tightening Hits Tech, Drains Sentiment
17 December 2021 - 06:58AM
Dow Jones News


MARKET WRAPS

Watch For:

Eurozone Harmonised CPI, Construction Output; Germany PPI, Ifo Index; U.K. Retail Sales, BOE Quarterly Bulletin; Bundesbank Semi-Annual Forecasts; updates from Julius Baer, Phoenix Group

Opening Call:

A U.S. tech selloff on policy tightening fears is likely to drag on European markets on Friday. In Asia, most stock indexes were lower, along with oil, Treasury yields and the dollar, while gold was firmer.

Equities:

European stocks are likely to retreat at Friday's open, as investors tackle the prospect of tightening monetary policy and possible growth risks due to Omicron.

Most Asian benchmarks were in the red following a downbeat session on Wall Street Thursday. A sharp fall in tech shares pushed major U.S. stock indexes lower, with Nasdaq closing down 2.5%.

"There's a lot going on under the surface," said Adam Phillips, managing director of portfolio strategy at EP Wealth Advisors. "The underlying narrative and sentiment has changed."

Some analysts said that the prospect of higher interest rates has made growth stocks less attractive.
