TLS - Telstra Corporation

[UMike]

I can understand TLS not being sold off.
But to rise like it has the past 2-3 days is unusual for me.


feeling like selling some of it off to invest in speculative shares like banks and Insurance.

Yield...got to be for the yield. The bonds almost banked another rate drop...yield is attractive.

The cash pulled out of the Banks will need a new home.
The upcoming dividend, albeit not due for another 2 months, may also attract some buyers. Look what's happening to CZZ in the lead-up to tomorrow's ex-Div.
Not many alternatives left...

Telstra is basically a safe haven utility as well....

What is the general feeling on the Telstra share buyback?

IMO, With such a large dividend component, it appears to be a no brainer, for SMSF in the pension phase.

TLS washed after exdiv , in the zone , alerts at 5 and change , no rush but watching for the flush day for a bargain




quick look at revisions and see earnings revised on report , maybe lower than 5 is doable

As Expected and nicely signalled on the flush sub 5

Quant, just curious - do you trade the stock or options for this sort of approach?

Trade shares but absolutely no reason you couldnt use option on same premise

Telstra off market buyback.

Well that was a waste of time and effort. The 84% scale back is ridiculous.

You had me freaking out there for a bit - I still have a cumulative bear/bull indicator programmed 18months ago on my main Amibroker page that started out with separate bull and bear counts in a not dis-similar fashion. You never know when a little new thing gets your head working exploring ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Rolling range I'm guessing is something like a cumulative sum of maximum absolute price change over the last 5 days?

(apologies for wandering around on the TLS thread..)

Yeah i like the separate counts

Cant see Rolling count on those but yeah roll count is dynamic 5 day range

Your not the first guy to have told me about a similar code , its a handy tool to add to collection

 

[Newt]

Cheers Quant. Most appreciated

this will get written off

TLS is supposedly a good scrip but the postings are rather low.
Any way, I think feud at VOC and TPG unknown issue even after a great profit gives TLS a good opportunity.
I personally noticed the service level has increased. Even TLS make a down fal toay I strongly believe this is one of my maust to have scrip.
Noticed one director spent $28000 to buy prices at a much higher than ruling toay
Disclaimer - I walked the talk and bough few TLS today at $5/04

i agree MIner, but this uncertainty about US interest rates, commodities, elections, banking crisis in Australia is driving our market at the moment with Telstra being caught up in it all (alot of top 50 are struggling)

the current bear market doesn't look like clearing up for 5-10 years

Just got off the phone to a mate just North of Brissy.

His wife is a medic and works from home on the medical 1800 hotline. They have a separate phone line, modem, computer and office etc. all set up by Telstra for the government hotline.

Early last week they went to the NBN and a Telstra tech connected to the home office. That same person does not connect the modem etc, they send someone else to do that.
It was supposed to be finished last week but after a few phone calls they sent a tech out yesterday to fix their phone problem.

They explained that they don't have a phone problem, just need the modem connected (only Telstra has the approved passwords etc) but this guy was not approved to connect it.

More phone calls yesterday and the tech was going to be there between 8am and 10am this morning to connect it.

At 11:00 am Brissy time this morning no sign of anyone arriving and still one less person available to respond to the 1800 line !!

Customer service and service in general has always been unbearable from Telstra.
They can't even bill you properly. David Thodey tried to fix it and improved it for a while.
Looks like the old culture is back.

Did you happen to read the Chairman's statement that was recently released? They've basically said they have a $2-3bn hole in earnings coming up... No real plans on how they remedy that from what I can tell.

To add to that, the ACCC have decided to progress further down the regulation path for ADSL services:

I must say, the future does not look too bright for Telstra.
