So stewart64, Kazoom and Pace what recommendations would you make to the BT Group board and the Pensions Trustees for reducing the pension deficit?

[stewart64] 16/4/2017 21:48

Kazoom my point re. the pension deficit was that Royal Mail's pension deficit was removed prior to flotation...it was unsaleable otherwise.

I'm not suggesting that BT is in the same boat. The company has a strong viable growing business. I believe the last pension deficit was about a third of current Market cap or 9.9 billion? If the actual liability is shown to be coming down this summer that would be huge for the share price.

If it comes to shafting the pensioners or the shareholders, who do you think will win?
Royal Mail announced Thursday that the scheme is closed and will no longer be supporting it so it now falls on the pensioners themselves! And they too have the crown guarantee!
Luckily BT took steps years ago and its payments are plausible.

"Remember its original stable mate Royal Mail started with a clean slate. This liability on the balance sheet just lingers on."

I think you'll find BT started with a clean slate too (ie a fully funded pension scheme). BT was one of many companies enjoying a "pensions holiday" back in the 90s.

As in most of these cases (including BHS) the pension deficit exists because pensioners money has already been given out to shareholders.

Won't BT be affected when 5G becomes prolific? 100mbits will be possible.

[pacemaker1000] 15/4/2017 11:23

Worse case scenario...
Bt folds, country looses its digital infrastructure, government pays for the pension and shareholders get £10 a share in assets.....lol...
Not only can't bt fail but it won't be allowed too!

4spiel......well I got castigated for raising the pension deficit issue on here and suggesting it dwarfed all other issues. Remember its original stable mate Royal Mail started with a clean slate. This liability on the balance sheet just lingers on.

Also I would like to separate this inherited issue from decades ago with a current business that is basically a good one.

Maybe its pockets are deep enough to sort this?

Just had a game of golf here in Thailand. Highest round in the last 20 years but it was 35 degrees and using strange clubs lol. Too hot to worry about short term movements so I ain't looking at any SP's till I get back :-)Be a few bargains about then I think.

Volume very very low, markets gone to sleep ahead of the long weekend. Have a good weekend bulls and bears, off to play golf.

One thing bears know bulls probably won't buy before the 4 day weekend, so may just come off.

[montyhedge] 13/4/2017 11:57

Markets subdued going into a bank holiday weekend, fund managers on holidays, leaving their assistants who won't buy or sell, traders don't want to hold positions over a 4 day break, just in case Trump does something, lol.

Temper, temper mutley180, here's another avatar for you to pretend to filter, I am sorry my post offends your sensibilities but you have to admit you do leave yourself wide open to ridicule, the way you post under the instruction of your crooked paymaster's. Take today, post after post of diatribe from you in an attempt to keep the bt thread BTTT, (back to the top). You do realise that advfn frown upon chimps like yourself who use this bttt tactic to attract any vulnerable clown to chance their arm here, but then you knew that didn't yuh!

Catch yuh later chimp,

(To quote the immortal words of Cpt Blackadder)

Just in case your unwilling to admit defeat

I've just got in from a hard day at makee'dees turning those burgers over and over, I'm not really sure though who has flipped the most here over this past few day's, its looking very much like your the flipping-chimp, sorry I mean flipping-champion, so really well done with that!

You don't mind now if I switch to silent running now whilst my tranche moves to 345 do yuh, I'll give you a shout when I've pressed the old 'thank you very much' button, I'll leave the dividend to the genuine investors here.
