Fundamentalist, thanks for your insight to spread betting. Your year end target is not wildly optimistic, 34p is not too far away now. Wait for the next new contract news to give support, and of course there is always the possiblity of takeover talk, which however spurious will give rise to a price increase to your target. My target is openended but certainly higher than 34p. Could be wrong, have been before!!

THUS was notified yesterday that Deutche Bank now held 41.9 m shares 3.11% of the company's o shares.
Not a potential bidder but good to see another major institution taking an interest in THUS

Smith Barney starts Thus Group with 'buy' rating; price target of 34p May 10 2004 10:20

Deutsche Bank have just sold their stake - what's all that about ???

The news release states that the Deutsche Bank no longer have a notifiable interest in THUS shares not that they have sold their entire holding.
Have just arrived home and have not had time to look around if I see any further details I will post later.

Lower down the market, Thus Group, the alternative telecoms company, eased 0.5p to 22.75p despite word that tomorrow's annual meeting statement will be nothing like as gloomy as the recent trading update from rival Colt Telecom, off 2p at 44.75p.

cheers all

Similar message in the Times. Hopefully tomorrow's statement is upbeat. Then we can start climbing back to 30p.

.

Why the huge slump this morning on the back of a statement that THUS are forecasted to meet analyst's estimates??? I can't understand why these shares keep falling without any bad news - can't just be following the general market??

Anything I've missed??

"Are THUS shares about to double?" Not going by this mornings performance so far :o(

blanny,
Market must have been expecting more and lets face it telecoms are not the favorite sector at the moment, nor have been for some while. Things never stay the same though so lets look forward to some favorable changes.
In the meantime lots of buys going through this AM, could be some money to be made here for the brave.

50 % more trades than VOD this AM!!!

Fucking hell, does anybody think that THUS has been totally oversold??? THUS shold be at least double this price on fundamentals alone. Shame there's always been such negative sentiment towards THUS.

Fill ya boots!!!

M/M taking the piss ref buy/sell ratio!!!
