i was wondering if anyone out there had any strong views? this company appears to be delivering and has just turned EBITA positive after a great trading statement last week. seems like upside to +200p once results are out.

any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.

anytime sir. it has been difficult but on reflection seems logical. i think this will be a star performer next yr.

happy xmas

TRADING; looking to get a consortium together to develop prop trading company ideally in surrey kent area, have been working in city futures options side planning to relocate out. interest?. perhaps initial communications can be through this link until response/contacts can be taken further. in working with prop trading company this has given me ideas, but would be seeking team to progress. potentially geared to equity trading.

directors buy today- good show

Hope everyone is enjoying the start to their year and had a good night last night. Some press today that is of interest.

"Easynet is the telecoms tiddler that is setting itself up to give BT a run for its money with broadband connections. It is risky but despite the hoo-ha of recent years telecoms firms have long-term growth qualities unrivalled by most industrial sectors."

An article on the Telegraph worth reading. Fund managers give their tips on companies and sectors and Telecoms get a positive mention from a few.

Some other links to recent press in December regarding Easynet through this Google link, too many of them to paste here!

HNY...onwards an upwards in ESY!

i am sure some consolidation is on the way but with a trading statement expected this month we could see a real rise ahead of us, especially if the statement contains news of intersted ISP's looking at the LLU service. exciting times ahead.

Happy New Year to you all!

Received the December email from Hargreave Hale and had this little snippet in it regarding ESY:

"A lot of people remain resolutely pessimistic about telecoms. They think that pricing pressures continue, there
is too much infrastructure capacity, still far too much competition and a continuing requirement to upgrade
software services all putting pressure on cash flows. But there are exceptions that could prove the rule.
Easynet (high risk) is cash rich despite a heavy infrastructure spend now largely completed and is growing
revenues whilst maintaining high gross margins with the board confident of achieving its accelerated targets
for cash flow generation. It is now tying up multi year contracts on broadband services and is a prime
beneficiary of the pressures on BT to accelerate local loop unbundling. Its time might have come as it becomes
cash flow positive in 2005."

Here's to 2005! Some new contracts would be a excellent start to the year.

oooh, lovely. have a look at AMEC. moving again as i am sure the bid rumour mill will start...a 10% trade over the next couple of weeks....IMHO!

Will keep my eye on it, cheers. You've got email.

thank you sir...one i will also keep an eye on.

No probs, you're welcome.

gavdfc--cant we all share it?? I hate to be left out!

ok, two day retracement and trading statement round the corner. feel well supported here judging by the price action and volume today. BUY.

Not worried about slight retracement, looking forward to the trading update. Hope you're keeping an eye on SIA Prop.;-)))

eagled eyed. nice

likewise AMEC by the way...

Yep watching that one, missed the rise towards end of day, but keeping my eye on them.
