VM shares,and believe me I know as I watch them daily, have been on an upward trend for the last three years (albeit with the odd dip here and there, and they have been particularly strong for the last quarter.

Your brother knows nowt.

The share price will be generally increasing for two reasons, telecommunications is now classed at the same level importance of other utilities, and secondly VMs debt issues have significantly improved, especially over the last few years.

In fact, VM tendered out today to replace $1.25bn of existing high interest debt that's due to mature in the next few years, with lower interest debt due in 2022. The fact that VMs credit rating has drastically improved along with the debt ratio is basically the main reason they have returned to profitability.

You never know, one day they might have cleared enough debt to start giving a **** about the customers...

Yes but other companies are charging extra forl higher speeds, whereas VM are doing it for free

Not so sure they are doing it for free as l have had two price rises this year plus one suspects one or two price rises arriving next year as well so to say its free is a fallacy in my opinion.

Please don't post when you have no idea what you are on about. The price in this post is dollars, so they went up by 3 dollars.

So if you bought 100 dollars worth at 10am by close of play that was a 300 dollar profit

So if you invested $100 at 13.49pm on Monday, the price was $32.47, on Tue at 14.19pm it was $34.44, so you would have made just shy of $200 dollars plus your $100 back in the space of 24 hours, not sure whats hard to understand about that??
