BT.A (BT.A)     

washlander - 24 Nov 2003 17:16

If Bt has bought back 2million 5 thousand shares to day. How come it shows on trades as a sell?

I bought 5000 bt.a at 1.04 and sold at 1.145 so at least that has made up for the barclays loss and my other losses of the day. about broke even on the day.

Good trade Janet, that was my plan today but my limit buy at 102p wasn't triggered when it spiked to 100p. Will try again Monday.

janetbennison - 31 Oct 2008 22:41 - 176 of 714

closed in america 1.17 this share could be well worth buying if still cheap on monday they pay excellent dividend.

well done janet to make 10% in one day I might trade this as a day trade now its almost a penny share.

In 2 weeks its possible to double your money.

which one is less resk is it to buy shares or spread betting ?

HARRYCAT - 04 Nov 2008 11:43 - 179 of 714

The fact that you are asking means that you don't really understand how they both work.
The quick answer is 'shares' as you should get a dividend & long term the price should rise.

Thanks you. as I only use to hold few shares and never use to buy and sale.
i Just start to buy and sale but I all ready lost 6772.00. now i am just hold them.

HARRYCAT - 05 Nov 2008 10:47 - 181 of 714

No offense intended. I think you should find yourself a book which simply explains the different investment methods. Don't lose what you can't afford & certainly don't lose it because you don't understand what you are doing. Good luck.

Thanks Harry. but I 30000 bought barclays @1.75 on 6/11/08 and sold today 1.94
which i all most recover my bt lost.

mitzy - 10 Nov 2008 13:29 - 183 of 714

I am not confident these will remain above 100p in the short term.

polska - 10 Nov 2008 14:11 - 184 of 714

shite company from what i experienced.

mitzy - 10 Nov 2008 15:02 - 185 of 714

No surprises here the company is in decline they had it good for 25 years and have missed the chance of capitalising on their No 1 position ita all a bit sad really.

polska - 10 Nov 2008 15:30 - 186 of 714

it should be called IT as most people are indian and hard to understand.......took me months when i came here to be set up.

Dil - 10 Nov 2008 15:34 - 187 of 714

lol polska ... uck off back to the zoo :-)

polska - 10 Nov 2008 15:43 - 188 of 714

i'll stay in uk if i want......you are racist!

Dil - 10 Nov 2008 16:15 - 189 of 714

lol ... u are a wind up merchant

Dil - 13 Nov 2008 10:03 - 190 of 714

Beat forecasts , free cash inflow 369million up from 198million.

Maybe they could lend MDX some.

spitfire43 - 13 Nov 2008 18:26 - 191 of 714

Maybe Telecoms are a safe haven after all, BT results looked solid, and might see some upgrades soon. But also VOD had very strong results on Tuesday, which seemed to take the market by surprise.

tipton11 - 14 Nov 2008 12:57 - 192 of 714

still stacks of room to cut the fat if necessary while even the pension fund appears to be fully funded. ..... good div what more can you want.

HARRYCAT - 14 Nov 2008 14:11 - 193 of 714

Div is under threat. Certainly looks likely to be cut in 2009. Brokers are forecasting a divi under 10p in 2010.
