Re: Vodafone - 5 year low
Personally I am quite unconvinced by Vodafone as a business which seems to exhibit zombie like behaviour, ie stumbling around eating the living to feed itself, every new takeover being another temporary corporeal meal prior to undead resting. It's a business whose returns on capital are meagre at best, but might (or not) have a value at lower levels. Possibly interested when and if they cut the dividend to a sustainable level and exorcise it back into fitness, for now I avoid.

Re: Vodafone - 5 year low
I do miss Valuemargin. This is the sort of project that he could get his teeth into.
Anyone care to essay on "Is VF dividend sustainable?"

Re: Vodafone - 5 year low
Note that Vodafone reports it's dividend in EUR now, so currency fluctuations will also change your GBP payment. Which will increase again perhaps in the near future .... (Am I allowed to mention the B-word here, or should I just be incanting "Strategic Ignorance" with my fingers in my ears ...?)

Definitely not the latter - as you say, increased currency fluctuations are a possibility in the near future. That's quite enough to say that "Strategic Ignorance" does not apply to them.

Currency fluctuations will always affect dividends for a share that accounts in FX and VOD is not special in that sense. TUI and ULVR for example, HYP shares that I have selected in the past, also account in euros and there are a number of HYP shares that use the US dollar. The B word is utterly irrelevant for HYPers so that taking a view on future €/£ movements due to Brexit or whatever reason and similarly the US $, is something that should be disregarded for HYPing, in other words yes, SI rules here.
Whether or not you should stick your fingers in your ears whilst applying it is up to you but if you are one of those who don't believe in SI, implying that in consequence you think you know something about the future, good luck with that, you're going to need it.

I don’t completely believe in SI, but if I’m struggling with nebulous financial statements or unqualified opinion I often find running through a few incantations of SI does help soothe the chakras. And then I usually end up buying more shares!

Re: Vodafone - 5 year low
Ian. 21 different holdings : below my portfolio as is today. I'm not wild about being so overweight on Vodafone and as I've previously stated i'll trim when profitable to do so. Thus far I'm +1.89% YTD, which is a source of frustration and is, tbh, probably the catalyst for the Vodafone position! GLA........idpickering wrote:Very brave YeeWo, if I may say.

Thank you very much for coming back on this. It's always interesting to see other HYPs. You have a nice array of shares there, some not oft mentioned hereabouts. After yesterdays news I'd worry about G4S myself.
All the best,
Ian.

My Holding Concentration Limit is 6.50%, so a little more relaxed than idpickering but 11.2%? Oh no, not for me.
A couple of questions:
The value of my holding of Vodafone Group PLC (VOD) has gone sideways since my first purchase in April 2012. Was your racking up a portfolio concentration of 11.2% a deliberate act?
also
Why are you intending to trim back? Why not simply direct new money elsewhere?
An interesting looking HYP by the way, thanks for sharing. As someone said, it contains a few that are "not the usual suspects"

Re: Vodafone - 5 year low
Yes it was deliberate act driven by two key factors a) I sold my WPP stock and needed to redeploy the proceeds usefully and b) The dividend yield on Vodafone is so good (at least for now!).IanTHughes wrote:value of my holding of Vodafone Group PLC (VOD) has gone sideways since my first purchase in April 2012.

If possible to profitably trim I will do so in order to de-risk my holding in VOD.IanTHughes wrote:Why are you intending to trim back? Why not simply direct new money elsewhere?
In the strictest sense it can be described, at best, as HYPish. I'm in my mid40s, still working and building this for the long term. Dividend Yield while a decent metric to demonstrate a business is producing the-goods isn't the only metric front of my mind. I look at TR as well........Capital, to me at least , is important!IanTHughes wrote: interesting looking HYP by the way, thanks for sharing.

I think people know that HYP is about dividend and yield (or at least those who have been posting do), so if we could just stick to that it would avoid me and other mods having to spend our time reading reports and deleting posts. If someone mentions capital *in passing*, that is fine, but it is NOT FINE for other people to then take that as an opportunity to start saying they think capital or value, or whatever, is more important. We like to have substantive discussion here that is on topic, so 'I agree' is entirely unnecessary - feel free to utilise the 'like' button though. If you want to discuss other strategies there are plenty of boards to do that on. Mel

Again - because I have nothing better to do all night, I have now deleted all the posts about value, different boards, moderation etc. There is a thread on the Biscuit Bar talking about having another board, for comments on that please go there. Please do not discuss moderation in-thread, please report posts you want looked at. Thank you - please can you all calm down a bit? Ta

When you say de-risk, is that because the holding is now "too" large as a % of your total portfolio or that it is a large % of your income.
I hold and have done for a while, I have deferred topping it up at times due to its cover and p/e but that has not changed much since Verizon. I have topped up this year and it is towards the top of my list now but with BT it is close to my sector limit.
I would like to know if this de-risk is more to do with your phase of building your portfolio than your dividend income stream.

I would have thought that it could apply both to size of holding and contribution to portfolio income.
That is irrespective of whether the portfolio is accumulating or being drawn on.
