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

Among the small fry, PIPEX was attracting attention as a possible bidder and as a takeover target.

It could make a move on rival broadband internet player PLUSNET if it is not bought itself. The shares closed level at 12.25p

In the Times this morning ....
"Pipex Communications: prospects are good, but so are the profits"

Whats the next move on this one any idea

DOWN.

Why do you think that woody?

where is all those takeover rumors gone to

Perhaps the Homecall acquisition is weighing down sentiment, as far as T/O rumours go, I can't see anyone coming to buy PXC until Homecall has been or is seen to be bedding down successfully, all imo of course.

At best PXC has gone very sleepy ..... Thought about dumping all, but decided to keep some on the betting that surely something must happen there some time .... surely!?

mentioned in shares mag today as a company that could potentially double in share price

Shares mag have tipped this many times but its short lived at the moment

m0dulos i gave a specific answer to a question at the time of the question they were down,i answered DOWN if they had been up at that time i would have said in my reply UP? .As along term view i can only see these shares rising slowly,far to much competition in this sector ,when consolidation becomes more of an issue,sooner rather than latter i hope well who would guess what these shares might achieve,yes as you can see i do hold these shares,and i am comfortable to buy in again.JIM.

Notwithstanding my previous post 1843, I see that 02 are looking to enter the broadband market rumoured to be bulldog/tiscali, it's not inconceivable that they may cast their eyes over PXC imo.

Some biggish buys going through, sp static but with so many shares in issue I suppose it will take a bit of shifting.

This should help....from today's Shares Magazine......

"Pick Tomorrow's Winners: Star Energy - GUS - Pipex Communications - Corus Group"

Deutsche Bank or similar have just increased their stake to 20%, but though I think PXC are cheap at this level, I am struglling to convince my self to buy them ... again!

Very heavy volume + ticking steadily upward, even yesterday ...... 200 MDA just below 11.50, so expect some resistance then, but all looking promising again .... Note too my previous post re 20% holding

Wishful thinking (big time!) is that someone is putting together an offer

Perhaps on the rummmmmr,that Vodaphone have been having a peeeeeep.
