Further to add Hylas, I don't need any reminding regarding the Lloy share price, I was invested in Lloy back when Lloy had no choice but to bail out Halifax bank. there was nothing wrong with Lloy up until then.

[nige co] 23/3/2020 11:57

Hylas, don't shoot the messenger, I was only posting what the experts are saying. History backs up what they're saying. Once this virus has peaked and on the decline, most share prices will recover, the weak companies will fail. I believe BT will be fine.

Nige Co

If you truly believe what was in your last post, go have a look at the long term chart for Lloyds Bank (FTSE : LLOY)

Telecoms the sector to be in, in my opinion.

Why do sales people trying to get sucker investors never to sell come up with that old stupid argument.
It always fools them because they do not understand.

'if we had missed the best 20 days in the stock market we would be much poorer.'
They never say;
'if we had missed the worst 20 days in the stock market we would be massively richer.'

The good, bad and ugly will all get hit at the start today, opening down 200.

Up to 60% surge in use of broadband data BT said on BBC. Openreach said they can cope.Shorting hedgie Odey, turns bullish on telecom, his a smart cookie.

Why long-term investors should never sell stocks in a panic

While it might seem counterintuitive to sit back and relax while stocks post swift and steep losses, for investors with longer-term time frames it typically pays to wait it out.

Looking at data going back to 1930, Bank of America found that if an investor missed the S&P 500's 10 best days in each decade, total returns would be just 91%, strikingly below the 14,962% return for investors who held steady throughout the ups and downs.

“Investors with longer-term investment horizons should remain invested in stocks,” Goldman Sachs said.

The adage “keep calm and carry on” might, in the end, be the best advice for investors to follow during times of extreme market volatility such as the present.

A 6 months close down causes the financial World to collapse.
How fragile.

Fantasy wealth.

We have to learn the obvious, saved money cannot be multiplied in value by everyone at the same time.
..and a 2% dividend yield is excellent.

[montyhedge] 22/3/2020 14:43

They would normally buy the sector if bullish on telecoms I would Imagine.For once I hope Odey is right, lol.

[action] 22/3/2020 13:26

Vodafone or Bt?

[montyhedge] 22/3/2020 13:21

MoS saying famous shorting hedgie Odey is buying telecoms.

Why is it that on most discussion boards, posters try and cause as much negativity as they possibly can. Nothing that anyone on a discussion board can say positive or negative, can make any difference to the share price of a FTSE100 company, they're just wasting their time. Only fools would read and act on comments made on this thread. BT will still be around when we've all gone to heaven.

Smurfy2001....The final dividend in August 20...BT can use the current crisis to reduce/cancel the dividend !

[smurfy2001] 20/3/2020 16:55

DMF, they've already paid the dividend recently? It's still some time until the next dividend.

[hylas] 20/3/2020 16:52

Surprised not see a big drop on this today with BT having announced that they are giving free 'unlimited' usage upgrades to all users who are not contracted for it.
Didn't realise BT was a charity.
I shall certainly be asking for a refund.

[dmf] 20/3/2020 16:15

A number of companies have announced suspension/cancellation of the dividend as well as 'buy backs'......surely this is the time for BT to announce dividend reduction or cancellation !!!

[ekuuleus] 20/3/2020 14:54

kmonn
bt don't need a cc offering, ANY business can activate remote access with appropriate software.

Remind me how many matches have been cancelled here?


Well kmonn, feeling a utter plonker yet?

[montyhedge] 20/3/2020 11:57

Jeffries reaffirms its BUY on BT, but cuts target price from 330p to 275p, lol that would be alright.

Don't forget Triple Witching options today, get some unusual prices.
