It seems THE Colt could be on its way back from yet another Year Low .

The stock is now at a very vunerable level at market cap level of only 500million -

My own opinion and that of other investors is great time to tuck away as a recovery from the present lows looks set to start...

What goes down must come up...

France Telecom still looks set to the main bidder though CABLE and Wireless is another contender named...

DYOR AS ALWAYS AND HAVE SAFE INVESTING ON YOUR MIND...jULES99

60-80p is the comeback target...

Here is a good endorsement.

Informative yes..but the above should never be taken as granted...or conclusive..

Markets and company activity does not stop occuring when An Istitutional Investor may own major stock...in fact it's informative but avenues are always there in a market full of "Buyers" and "Sellers"...

Telecoms like all sectors requires some consolidation, matter of time in my opinion, I've seen this kind of pattern and cycle before...

Time for consolidation ...Colt, Kingston, Thus are all vunerable...


DYOR as always...Jules99...

Colt will go down further according to Shares magazine this week as sales is still poor and struggling.

Looks like Colt Telecom has turned the corner now...on the rise... 47p

Colt the Comeback back in vengance it appears....

moving upwards now

Seems up one day down the next day - DOES ANYONE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS COMPANY

switch to Easynet (ESY) is my advice (IMHO)

This from MAM Home page ...
The decline in EBITDA came as Colt, which issued a severe profit warning in July, reported a 7% rise in Q3 turnover to 303.7m. Analysts had been looking for sales of 30m and EBITDA of 33m.
Something not quite right here ??

I have the notion that Media coverage over next few days should see some positive comments lift the price of colt...

In the Daily Mail today.....

CONFIDENT COLT
COLT Telecom's new bossinsisted its largest shareholder had no plans to sell out. 'There is no end game for (58% owner) Fidelity' Jean-Yves Charlier said. He will cut costs by trebling Indian call centre to 600. Losses fell 12 % year-on-year to 31.5m after early debt repayment. Sales edged up 3pc to 304m.

OK who bought 1,000,000 @ 40p?

looks cheap now

Directors recently Bought up 500,000 shares at 44p...!

I did the same but not as much....

One can only wish..!!!

Not a bad sign IMHO.

Will rise back no doubts on my side...

The patience will pay-off as always..

COLT Was down this morning , but reversing to Positive, short term rally back to 49p is my target this time round. Above 49p would see it hit 55p benchmark level..

Kpatience pays eventually...!

jules99 keep well and have fun...

DYOR..

Also take a good look at ESY (see thread) now today 67p at (year low) despite recent more encouraging customer news and positive trading statements. Should exceed forecasts and outperform sector.

appears to be rowing around 42-44p mark last few days -now at 43p, needs to break past the 45p before spurring north.

Worth the wait - 49p target remains...
