........."And so to our traditional "wild card". Pipex Communications, formerly known as GX Networks, is a telecoms company created by one of the entrepreneurs behind Ukbetting, Peter Dubens. It has been assembled from six smaller players. The ambitious company is generating cash for the first time but is still not widely followed in the City. It could be an undiscovered gem".

Wow it sounds as though punters will be falling over themselves to buy on Monday!

Question is do we go for a quick buck and risk letting them slip away as the price rockets or hold on relying on support at the current price (and the future potential that will remain unchanged) in case the rumour is nothing but hot air ?

I don't know about any take-over, but there is definitely a strong echo of T-Mobile and some sort of deal!

skids

What to do ? As usual my problem is being at work during the day is not good in these situations, by the time i get any news it is 20 minutes late and I may not get to a PC for hours due to meetings. I think I would bank some of the profit to hedge. Hard one to call gents .... good luck and lets hope for a good start to the week.

does anyone know who owns t-mobile or its symbol ? i believe its Deutsche Telekom but can find no listings on the ftse

German compeitior to Pipex posted a whopping 36.6 E profit on Thursday ! Internet providers just keep on reaping the rewards of a bubble in people wanting www access !

Lots n lots of postings on various bb about this possible take over, anyone got
any relastic target price if someone does approach is there a standard percentage that should be added to share if approach is made i.e. 25% to price at present. Just happy with any amount as got in sub 6p on two deals.....

from T mobile Website

T-Mobile is part of one of the largest mobile companies in the world. It is the UK network of T-Mobile International, one of the four strategic pillars of Deutsche Telekom AG. Deutsche Telekom's subsidiaries and affiliated companies serve over 80 million mobile customers worldwide. As well as the UK, it operates mobile companies in the USA, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia . This means great service, plus the backing of a truly global presence.

Happy 1 - Thats news about German provider is very good news ...PIPES MOVING UP AND BUYERS COMING in at 11.75p now readily...

what do pipers think it will rise to this week..guesses welcome..?



Broadband is here to stay alright, and Pipex was in there first, now eating some cake..


Mobile Broadband is the next big thing...everyones gotta have it...

This has got to help.

Why WWW needn't mean world wide wait - February 2004
"2004 is the year of broadband. With the modernising government agenda providing the impetus for councils to deliver all their services electronically by 2005 and the Government's pledge to make broadband accessible to all by 2008, local authorities need to ensure that broadband is a key part of their e-government plans over the next year. Broadband can bring many benefits, to your workforce, to efficiency and to the service that you provide to your citizens." (The MJ, February 12th 2004: Why WWW needn't mean world wide wait, Ian Mckenzie asks why more councils aren't cottoning on to broadband.)

Some big sells mid afternoon with targets meet and profits taken, price held what will Tuesday bring?

Kand why were they sells ? Why did the price rise ? Do you not think that the Institutions can negotiate special purchase prices ?

done well to stay at 12p buy level...the target of 12-16p is next level, but yet to surface...why are we waiting..WHHHYYYYYY..lol...sorry a bit of humour..!!

Yes. It's all very faustrating ! Looks as though the price is being artificially held down, during a strong market day... Lets hope it breaks soon !:)

Happy not sure to any of those points, education would be great if you know the answers ?

My take and also commented by skyhigh

Seems to be held back whilst institutions fill their boots at 11.75 or less.Having watched this stock we saw consolidation around the 8p level with numerous mid price trades going through the system.We then had the explosion upwards towards 11p.

Seems as though history may be repeating itself !

As an aside note I have seen institutions buy at bid price previously so don't look at everything in black and white.

Yup cheers Troys, excelent news.

cheers GF.

Thanks to Shonkster

"Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:JNPR) today announced that PIPEX Communications, a leading UK ISP, has selected the Juniper Networks Infranet-ready ERX-1440 subscriber management platform to manage tens of thousands of new ADSL customers on its newly provisioned BT 622 IP Stream-based services. "

Happy - thanks for the info, never thought of looking at it that way.Lets hope the break is a good one when it goes.

Some serious buys showing now after 5pm.

Ready for next push forward tomorrow!

Looking good for tomorrow - there was knocking on for 1,000,000 in those end of day buys (provided none were roll-overs).

Is this the start of the rise before the deal ?
