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.

Im thinking of buying in but am worried that the shares could take a hit when they open on Monday as profit taking rears its head, but we'll see, a small rise and I will buy In.
Product in a growing market and as Investec rightly said , Pipex is ripe for aqcusition. I can see similarities to 02 growing on a smaller scale.

Through the phsycological 10p barrier but will it hold...?

For what it's worth, in my estimation, it will hold and strengthen as we're now in the run up to the interims to be announced 7th Sept. (imho) then what happens is anyone's guess..

Not for long, back down to Earth today,

Still held 10p though which I think is a good sign. Agree skyhigh that the next couple of weeks should be interesting - there's just so much going on in the world of Pipex at present.

Interims tomorrow, on 12/7 PXC stated that sales/profits would be above market expectations, the sp is going nowhere atm, strange.

yeh. rubbish isn't it... don't know what has to happen for the sp to climb.. let's hope that interims/outlook exceed expectations

skyhigh------wi-max is a slowly does it imo and it just pushes the timescale further out. News (good) on the integration of Homecall would be nice.

How long before we see some changes on this one or a take over bid.

probably before you die, unless you are very very old!

Great interims. lots going on.. developing well.. sp should rocket from here but.... it'll probably go down as usual ! (overall debt going up, market probably won't like that)

back to 03 sp peter dubens is not as good as people think , as a cutumer and share holder am very unhappy so are my pals who also have pxc as both holders and cutomers we are thinging of getting out after xmas if no good news ,

Need patience! ... overall AIM/sm caps company markets are surpressed.. lots of my other comps are doing badly even though thier results, trading and potential is good... need overall sentiment to change and also new investment money coming in so that shares will be marked up... sooner or later iit'll happen... in the meantime sit tight !

our long 5years 10 years dubens as had time get rid of him , he is useless filling is own pockets thats all he as done,

I know what you mean ... it's grim isn't it !

Nice bounce back this morning presumably related to carphone warehouse acquisition of AOL and further consolidation in sector.

daily mail and thebusinessonline.com suggesting bt still interested.could be a hot run up till christmas.

Goldman sound interested

interestingly high volumes ..... average for last 3 months is 13 million .... already 18 million traded and sp ticking upwards ...... worth keeping your eye on, though we have been here before in recent months and sp significantly higher
