Enjoy boys, while you can. Like the new poster said this is easy money, lol.

Wonder how those predictions of 275 are working out - or was it 255 - or even 195? :)

Assets were reported as being worth £4p/s earlier on this year.

[hubshank] 20/7/2017 13:47

The directors seem to be buying in. Hopefully not a smoke screen!

Andy84You will be in profit b4 ex dividend date

[andy84uk] 20/7/2017 11:07

[action] 20/7/2017 10:18

316 here we come

[pagwarrior] 20/7/2017 10:05

Up to to £3.08

Looks like people believe there's no more skeletons in the closet.

Some real figures about the pension deficit should be the only thing left

Hi shanieboy,

"I bought this just to prove that skill is not as important as we think it is."

Interesting thought, I'd certainly contend that some of the research and "skill" that is applied is of limited value or even counter productive, but the trick is to know which bits.

The idea though that you can "prove" your hypothesis based on what is little more than a coin toss investment is somewhat naive.

"For this share i asked (politely) why the share price dropped in February."

You did, but actually you would have got a quicker and more comprehensive answer had you deployed what us experts like to refer to as Google.

"To me that drop was unwarranted"

As I recall the answer you got (and seemingly accepted) was that the fall was due to the "accounting scandal" (aka fraud) in BT Italy. If you'd actually done a modicum of your own research you would also have found that just as importantly BT reported a marked slow down in it's key Global Services markets.

Would you still have regarded it as unwarranted given that information?

Who knows? Perhaps in fact you benefited by not having that knowledge which could have dissuaded you from buying? (maybe proving your point).


I'm sure that many of us have had hunches that proved to be correct (maybe even acted upon them), but equally there are unsuccessful hunches that come unstuck because they ignored significant information that was freely available.

As for civility, you'll find there are a lot of trolls and wind-up merchants on these boards and to be honest if you act like one that's probably how you'll be treated.

On the other hand if you provide something useful or interesting to these boards (which you almost have now) you'll find some posters much more willing to engage in a positive fashion.

(It's not always the other guys attitude which is at fault).

Best of luck to you, but honestly do beware of convincing yourself of your genius if and when you do walk away with your 10% profit here.

Jenny i am not upset just making a point about these keyboard warriors

[jenny tulwought] 20/7/2017 09:20

shanieboy,

If you're upset by profanity and a general lack of civility, ADVFN is perhaps not the place for your goodself. One either requires a b/s filter, or an alternative thread. It's not as if there's much to be learned from reading this tripe - I just dip in & out, now & then, to read which way Monty reckons the price is moving, and assume it will do the opposite.

Good luck.

[eaaxs06] 20/7/2017 09:04

So, how close are you to 10%?

[shanieboy01] 20/7/2017 08:53

I was surprised at the visciousness of asking such a simple question and I am getting close to my 10%

[eaaxs06] 20/7/2017 08:49

When have I been rude to you, shanieboy01? When and how have you been attacked?

All I did was ask you a simple question...... how have you 'nearly' got 10%, when you bought at 292 and the price was (then) 304?

You were actually nearer to losing money, than you were to making 10%!

[shanieboy01] 20/7/2017 05:17

I said before. I bought this just to prove that skill is not as important as we think it is. I usually put months of research in. For this share i asked (politely) why the share price dropped in February. I was attacked. To me that drop was unwarranted but so is your rudeness and also the rudeness of so many of ye on this forum. I hope you make a load of money but i also hope some of you spend it on a course in civility.

This was way oversold. Maybe i am wrong but i just want 10% and i have nearly got it.


Nearly got it, shanie?

How do you work that one out?

[younasm] 19/7/2017 08:22

Down to support @300p -- gives me chance to close down short call options for July expiry -- 21/07/17.

[montyhedge] 18/7/2017 21:58

Well easy money is it, as one new poster said. LolInvestors buying for the 10p dividend before they go ex.They feel it's a safety cushion. Good luck.

[kazoom] 18/7/2017 19:36

Do you mean me weriniseperzon?

Not much of a futurologist really, in fact it turns out I might be an idiot.

Content to wait and hear the results to get an update on market conditions and a pointer towards the triennial pension review.

Seems to me that it's undervalued at this price, but forecasting when sentiment will change I'll leave to others.

[36redhill] 18/7/2017 18:39

So why bother to post it then? Where's Monty????

[younasm] 18/7/2017 17:52

Retest 300p tomorrow to find support, close on Friday 306-310p level. Just a guess .... you may as well toss a coin :-;
