A little like oom really from my point of view - I believe they are the favoured company within their sector and despite the markets - Oftel and the G3 nonsense they will climb back. They pay a divi and this wioll be seen to be increasingly important in the days to come. They have new management and are looking to enhance shareholder value .....

I hold and swing trade a few and not adverse to intraday trading them.

BT in web-based investor relations drive

London, February 7 2003, (netimperative)



by Chris Lake

BT is launching a web-based scheme which it hopes will improve communications with its retail shareholders and help cut costs.


Dubbed 'ShareholderPlus', the system allows investors to sign up and receive BT communications - such as reports, news releases, mandates and, subject to a change in the law, electronic tax vouchers - by email, rather than by post.

BT said this will help it achieve cost savings - by not having to print and despatch reports - and pointed out that it is also good for the environment.

Furthermore, it has negotiated a number of deals with companies such as Virgin Wines, Apollo Travel, RSA and National Car Rental, to market the service and said it will add new offers in the future if it proves to be a success.

BT claims to be one of the first FTSE100 companies to launch such a programme, though it is likely that more will follow.

agree rightly...should be their week...my target remains from the overdue breakout at 1.90/2 onwards to 2.20...the opening will be interesting..

mm02 is another to watch in my opinion.

jules.

Any further thoughts on BT.A with this coming Thursday in mind?

looks like BT is breaking down through the 1.80-2.00 trading range. 165-170 good me on the cards if it breaks down.The revenue growth was worse than exopected yesterday,so i think its going down.

Only two per cent down. They are tied by goverment as to how far low they can cut costs because of their hold on the fixed line market, which new companies like Carphone Wharehouse can take advantage off. However if they get their pricing right on Broadband then they will still have a major advantage.
There is a call for them to be treated as a utility, which I do not think is strickly valid. They are well of their highs and increasing dividends and more share buy backs, coupled with strong cash flow and debt repayments make them in my opion,[oversold last week], a very good company medium to long term.

Do you have pics of Buzzby on your wall's mate!!!

Why do want to sell some?
