Re: Nearing completion

Very good input but I would ignore CLLN (which I hold)

That level of yield now looks distinctly risky

Re: Chat on Vodafone board

I would prefer they take the money and invest it in the business.

I wouldn't have a problem with that, as long as it is invested well.

I would remain open minded about the options of a Special and/or Buybacks.

Re: British Land Results

Arb,

I bought it because, on purchase, it had a high yield 4.6%, good cover, lowish debt and a P/E of 5.9

Re: Chat on Vodafone board

Julian,

It will be interesting to see what action VOD take.

I would favour a Special, but should we expect a Special/Buyback combo?

I'm holding SVT in my SIPP so CGT is not an issue.

I have never owned BT (apart from a very short while as a Stag after the IPO).

I would find it difficult to buy the share due to BT's consistently appalling and inept Customer Service.
