Bt Share Discussion Threads

Toon. I guess if the want the Global Services side to increase their worldwide business offerings there is a case? Plus they could float the Openreach? Then either increase their broadband retail and mobile exposure here, or sell bits off?
I don't think that they would necessarily be potential buyers, but they are big enough to raise the cash if they wanted to.
But who knows? 'Consolidation' seems to be the 21 century buzz word.

Forgot your a long term investor, not a trader. Perhaps we should have a thread, BT - Traders thread, no investors allowed, they get upset to quickly.

Monty, all shares drop ex-divi, it's not like I'm going to sell on that day and realise the ex-divi drop? It's in the bank and I'll watch the share price recover.

I know AT&T are big but it does not mean they would acquire BT. What is the strategic rationale given BT are primarily a UK player?

[montyhedge] 27/7/2018 11:13

Yes 10.55p income but I reckon 12p capital loss when ex div.

[hamhamham1] 27/7/2018 11:11

Monty. Whereas you are a whopping 3%? (max) up on switching out of BT and into IAG?
I will get that back (and more) with the divi in a week or so.

[hamhamham1] 27/7/2018 11:09

Toon. AT&T certainly are big, $232bn market cap.
Quite good network services comparison chart here.

ham
Make a lot of money for a two year old, lol. You should be happy BT back to where they were two weeks ago.

[toon1966] 27/7/2018 11:04

What would be the business case for AT&T acquiring BT and how would they sell it to their shareholders? Any thoughts?

[chiefbrody] 27/7/2018 11:02

Lets make a move on AT&T instead. Be nothing left soon if we carry on selling.

[bigboots] 27/7/2018 10:54

Time for At&T to make a move

Best recovery play in the sector

[fewdollarsmore] 27/7/2018 10:53

Fair play..

[hamhamham1] 27/7/2018 10:47

Monty. I just think that you act like a two year old.

[montyhedge] 27/7/2018 10:39

Ham Bit of banter between us don't take it personally.

When i refer to interest rates rising.....long term adjustments.....may reach 2% few years from now....who knows....ECB will not raise well into 2019 or later - US Fed is likely to stop raising rates - Some FOMC members will be replaced shortly and for sure Trump will pick those who want rates rises to stop !

[montyhedge] 27/7/2018 10:34

lol you message everyone asking please follow me so I got more for than Monty, not work as it.

[montyhedge] 27/7/2018 10:33

Lol. Never loss money trading BT in 5 years, ok always a first time.

[hamhamham1] 27/7/2018 10:33

Monty. Respect cost nothing. Well I only been here a few months but already got 11 followers, so give it a year amd i will be the number 1 followed on ADVFN :)

[chiefbrody] 27/7/2018 10:32

Thats the problem DMF. Rates were supposed to rise years ago.The government/BOE are addicted to low rates.Last time they didn't rise because it was too cold. Next time it'll be because its too hot!Once idiot Carney goes, it might change but don't bank on it.We could see circa 1% rates for another decade yet ffs.

[montyhedge] 27/7/2018 10:28

Lol you boys are investors, it's been the dog of the FTSE 100 for 5 years. Probably loss half your money, I can understand you blame the bears. Blame the management, that's why Gavin as payed with his job.Seen so many false dawns with BT.HamDon't take it so personal, don't let you emotions get the better of you and you may be a better investor. You been on Advn for a few months.Us hardened traders been here years.Experience you can't buy. Lol

Telecoms has been an unloved sector, it feels things are about to change with investors rotating back into telecoms - dividend appears safe - the pension deficit will be alleviated over time as interest rates rise !

[kmann] 27/7/2018 10:03

You want to take a serious look at PETS guys, another over shorted stock with good fundamentals.
