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...

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...

END

Push it up to 50p folks and I might be interested.

proptrade - why Easynet? The price is falling.

Looks cheap now...a medium term hold

could be grand day for COLT today - Dow was up a whopping 177 points...!!

It appears there aren't that many on this board who hold or follow Colt (CTM) - ???

To those not familiar, A while back - I suggested Matalan, Marks and Spencer, and more recently on Moneyam -BB that Compass Group would make a comeback....AND They HAVE..!

A Few Reasons I beleive Colt will also make a major comeback :

-Colt remains financially strong with Cash and liquid resources
of close to 700m

-Consolidation in Sector: Predators such as France Telecom is seeking aquisitions - Colt could be one of it's targets

-Free Cash Flow Positive: Colt remains very much on track to be "free cash flow positive" on a sustainable basis during 2005.

-Leader: Strong Customer Base Industry Leading Customer service

-Turnover: of over 300m a year - (not talking small potatoes...)

-Losses now just reduced to 35m.
-In 2001= -360m
-In 2002= -718.2m
-In 2003= -124.6m
-In 2004= -34.5M...!
-In 2005= ????

-Improving Revenues and Continuous Development of new products

-Has survived the worst periods within the telecom sector 2000-2003 -many companies went bust

-Appointment of Jean Yves Charlier - as President and CEO.

-Recent BUYS of 500,000 and 100,000 shares in the past few weeks suggest further confidence by Directors within.

Furthermore Over Sold and a steal IMHO -but not forever...

You read it first - Jules says ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FOLKS...

Enjoy the evening...and keep smiling !
