........."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".

Business as usual. One day...

glad i sold on here, snails move quicker!!!

they seem to have lost their competitive advantage in the marketplace to.

another 2.5m at 9p slips through as a late trade. Looks promising.

er... looks promising for what ? this thing's been looking promising for the last couple of years... need some more good news...

Sky. I'm just trying to cheer myself up on a monday. Large buys at 9p is not bad, is it?

Troys... Yeh! I know what you mean... could do with cheeering up myself...agree, 9p buy not bad.
Had a shock this morning with ARC (Risk mgmt). Looked like the bid went down 45% to .0042p but them was adjusted back to .0075p phew.. not for widows/orphans this one! however, something may be brewing like sales revenues not coming in to plan but, like Pipex, I'm sticking with it, for better, for worse.

Skyh - Will take a look at ARC while pxc is in a dormant state. Spread a bit high at 16%

LOL Troys

Is this tick up is on the back of plusnets good broadband figures?

pass...it would be nice to see the sp go above 9p...

slipping back down again

Probably ticked up on the back of plusnet.. probably gone down again cos it's Pipex!... need to start seeing some positive trading statements from them for any rise to be sustained.

Who is going to buy or sell with a spread of 8% ?

spread still at 8%. Whats up?

Not the SP... that's for sure !

The whole broadband sector is up but not the share prices. BT posting today a 48% increase in high speed internet services. Someone wake up and smell the coffee!!!

Results for the six months ended 30 June 2005 are due on Thursday 8 September 2005.

May as well go on holiday til then. LOL

bought into Thus today as it's waking up and talk of a bid--still holding this dog but getting very bored with it!

Thus moving nicely Moneyplus. Shame Pipex is not moving the same way

We have ticked up because the spread has moved down from 8% to 5%. All a bit of a con really
