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.

Hi Cynic
Comments noted.

So why are you so averse to investing in party. Afterall you could have doubled your money in the last three months or even traded in / out suuccessfully a few times in the same timeframe.

Good to hear your views.

Nice weekend to all

Cheers

perhaps you're right and i am so old i don't recognise when i am following prejudice instead of momentum etc ...... will dwell on it

Good honest answer .............. Keep posting.

Amar

cynic is a cock

he just posts drivvle

only thing is i get worried when i see him on threads that i am invested in.

by his logic then, u can make a fortune from just about any stock by buying low and selling high.

DOH!!!!

try using your eyes (chart) and reading what was actually rather than what you hope/expect was written ..... suggest you also look at the various stocks that i have suggested as good buys or even definite sells for i think you will find rather more hits than misses ....... and as i have told another of your ilk, i don't ask you to agree with what i write, but do try to grow up and cut the personal abuse.

so the results are out and barely even a passing mention of the t/o prospects etc .... "wait until summer" or similar ...... all quite curious; suspect minimal effect of sp though perhaps a bit of a dip as T10 holders and the like pull out.

On further reflection and almost by default, there was an implication that t/o talks are continuing - i.e. if all had pulled out, i think the company would have been obliged to say so.

On 12 March 2007, following press speculation, the Company confirmed that it had
appointed UBS to investigate a number of strategic options. The Board notes
that there has been a large volume of highly speculative press coverage, and
would like to reassure shareholders that the strategic review, which is expected
to be completed during the summer, continues to the Board's satisfaction. Pipex
and UBS continue to explore the various options available to the Company and a
further announcement will be made in due course.

Grim isn't it !

WHY?

as expected, lots of small offerings this morning .... nothing over 250k which is peanut stuff.

BT BlackRock buys 3.45 mln Pipex shares at 12.86p/share

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - BlackRock Group said it has bought 3.45 mln
shares in Pipex Communications PLC at 12.86 pence each.
Pipex, a broadband and internet hosting business, put itself up for sale
last month and said it was exploring a number of strategic options, with a final
decision expected in early summer.
Carphone Warehouse dropped out of the bidding for Pipex and left BT Group as
the sole interested party in the company, The Financial Times reported on April
12.

fail to see the excitement in that purchase ..... it only constitutes a minuscule %

Nobody said it was exciting cynic, Shareshop was just letting others on the thread know that the purchase had been made. Better than a sale of 3.45 mln shares IMO.

don't be so touchy or one might start to think that the sobriquet fits ..... would be interesting to see if Black Rock now have a considerable holding, though i suspect not as that would surely have needed to be mentioned

lol.

am happy to hold another 1 or 2 years if need be as this share will go up through time slowly plus with Tiscali & BT among remaining bidders for Pipex maybe others.. you never know

Shareshop .... so do Black Rock hold a further stack? ..... i think 3.45m shares is rather less than 0.5% so one would not have thought it worth a mention on its own

Shareshop...dont worry..in fact being contrary to cynic pays...check his record on PXC, PRTY, PET AND LATTERLY GGG....ALL OF WHICH ARE PROVING TO BE HIGHLY PROFITABLE TO ME. Please excuse any replies from me for next 10 days...going on holiday with some of profits.

depends when you buy AND sell doesn't it ..... i HOLD PXC; i am very very glad i stayed away from PRTY, as its recent record shows its instability; PET i do not recollect; GGG if you see my latest post says do not buy at this level ... all good common sense if you ask me .... but of course money CAN be made from buying and selling "pure" if you can accept that the odds are stacked heavily against you, as they are though perhaps less so when playing roulette.

but unlike some here, i happily accept the brickbats ... and also the cheques which i bank

cynic.. Thanks for responding ...nothing personal but I have held all 4 since last year..long term there is a good return on all f our..add to that CFL which no one has posted od here for a long long time and and you have virtually all my portfolio but all have been held for considerable time and still rising.
