Nice rises Friday and today,after being tipped up by Money Week magazine ,with first half sales up 86%,and a cheaper Broadband bundle than Car Phone warehouse,a forward p/e of 15.4 and a likely takeover target seems the one to be on in a guarateed consolidating sector.

it's marginally disconcerting for sure ..... anyway, i have still banked on a positive result and have bought again this morning

Still No News - Whats happening

I found a snippet on thisismoney website dated 25th but apart from that nowt.

have a look at Brightview (BRV) next one to be taken out after pipex ????
suggested value is 300 per broadband subsciber does this sound about right ???

Disclosure not needed for between 3/5 days. Plenty of time to relieve pi's of their shares.

Lots of Selling

it will be on the basis that delayed news is often not good ..... with E&P companies it is invariably bad ...... in this instance, i do not think it actually anything untoward, though it would be "good manners" for PXC to make some sort of statement, even if it is only that the various bids are being evaluated or similar

"my man" in the market suggests that though the bids may be with PXC, they may not release anything for up to a couple of weeks .... how valid a view that is, i have no way of evaluating

Must be some news out there or rumours?

Lehman Bros no longer have an interest, they wouldn't have sold if the prospect of a higher price (a bid ) were imminent, would they?

not if they made a good profit and want to move on to something else but ubs are still in there as a big holder.

i am very happy to stay put though distinctly overweight ..... we know bids have been tabled, and sooner or later (latest 10 days?) all will be revealed ..... i still think this will leave the WiMax and another piece (forget which) to sell off

Just had a look at Plusnet (PNT) which got to 207 without any auction
