Several of the 20 shareholders have told Gavin Paterson they are running out of patience. According to FT. I reckon Openreach something will happen fingers crossed boys. One positive rns watch these get to next trading level 220p-225p.

Its been the dog of the FTSE 100 last three years, now this dog could be the best in breed for the next three. DT 12%, embargo end soon, 7.3% yield, Chairman known for getting things done.
He spent half a million pounds on shares at 255p, Ofcom I think will back off.
Cost cuts at last, 13,000 job losses. My target year end 255p plus 10.55p div in Sept, ex August.

Could the chart be about to turn here? Or is it too much to hope for!

[montyhedge] 04/6/2018 13:20

Didn't want to miss the bus so got on at the 203p one and final

[clair_voyant] 03/6/2018 19:38

No no Pace, long 7000 always long .

[pacemaker1000] 03/6/2018 19:33

Did you mean 700 short increasing to 1000?

[clair_voyant] 03/6/2018 19:17

yes Ice, I'd like to recover my losses on BT with BT and I'm sure it will rise someday but from being bullish on BT since last year I now can't see any reason for the share price to rise at the moment. In case I'm wrong (yet again) I've kept a stake in the game.

[iceman82] 03/6/2018 19:02

stick to bt clair!!

[clair_voyant] 03/6/2018 18:51

last week I reduced my BT spreadbet to £500 per point and opened a £7000 per point SB on LLoyds. I ran out of patience with this disaster of a stock and just hope lloyds can get me back some of the huge losses I've taken on BT in the past 6 months. I have no other positions but I'm looking to increase the lloyds SB to £1000/pt. next week.
Then again I may decide to jump back into BT, I change with the wind.

[iceman82] 03/6/2018 15:33

what other stock you guys hold if i may ask?

[diku] 02/6/2018 18:55

Germans will just give them new models of BMWs and other benefits & everything will be back to normal...this is how the EU works..

[diku] 02/6/2018 18:51

Are you still waiting for the bus?...

[iceman82] 02/6/2018 17:30

pacemaker agree 100 %, good post,
1.price is falling since 2015
2.stock substantially undervalued as morningstar values it at 360 per share
3 my entry point is 202.6

This type of investing in ftse 100 stocks with PE of 8 is very appealing to me and in fact i will be happy for share price to drop further as this will give me opportunity to top up if the share price doesnt drop but rise the that fine with me to , either way i will pick up some divis( first one coming up this summer of 5.5%---no other saving account will give you that)

What not to like, however i am happy to listen to anybody's arguments and i will take notice of them

You can't have variable exchange rates within a single currency by definition. You can't have Italian Euros and German Euros trading on something other than a 1:1 basis and still have one currency. That would be more like the old ERM where a basket of member currencies trade within predetermined exchange rate limits. Variable exchange rates would be the end of the Eurozone. It might not be a bad thing ... but Germany and France would fight it to the death and it would most probably lead to the break up of the EU itself.

What I imagine the new regime would like to have is greater flexibility over fiscal policies, bigger inter-country transfers (i.e. essentially, Germans paying Italian pensions) and, perhaps, a blind eye turned to the issue of a local quasi currency (nominally euro denominated small value Italian government bonds) that could be used as a way for the government to settle its debts and to add liquidity to the Italian economy.

The latter is actually a parallel currency, effectively, a 'new lira' and will be resisted vigorously by Germany, France and the ECB.

There's a long way to go to settle this and I expect to see the can repeatedly kicked down the road in a succession of unsustainable temporary measures ... the hope being that, given time, the problem will eventually go away, which it may do.

In my view the Euro is bound to fail because it does not provide for a single fiscal policy and because the scale of inter-country transfers required to support the weaker economies is politically wholly unacceptable to citizens of the countries that would have to pay. But it may yet survive due to the sheer political will and determination of the politicians and business leaders that support it.
