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.

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

I bought in at 14p and regretted it. It seems that Wimax hasn't set the world alight and I can't think of anything else positive that could really send the shares soaring other than a takeover bid. I am not aware of anyone fishing right now though.

gbrown100---------I have bought and sold these several times from an sp as low as 4.84p and have done extremely well from them, my last purchase was @ -12p. I've not seen too much comment recently re wi-max, but I do believe it will prove profitable over time, patience is required for wi-max. However the prospect of a takeover is always a possibility, I see Demon has been put up for sale by Thus, I have no idea how Demon compares to PXC but the major telco's have been active in this area, and PXC would give critical mass + the licence for wi-max. On top of this PXC are bedding down their own recent acquisitions. --------- I would never buy for purely t/o rumours.

Todays Daily Express

Drug discovery firm EiRx Therapeutics was steady at 0.28 amid speculation it was set to receive two milestone payments.

SP holding up well considering the 69m share sale @ 11.5p each, by non-ex recently.

Among the minnows, broadband business Plusnet added 1.75p to 207.75p as BT agreed to buy the company for 67m or 210p a share. Analysts said the news was positive for rival Pipex, with Dresdner Kleinwort setting a 13.10p price target on the shares on hopes it too may be bought. Pipex added was steady at 12.25p.

come on pxc 16-24 pm imho

Just taking a look at PXC on the back of the quite positive article in Shares. Surprised to see no comment. Wireless field looks interesting with first commercial moves in next six months? Difficult to evaluate potential - any thoughts?
