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.

Falcothou - 11 Oct 2006 13:12 - 33 of 481

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

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.

2517GEORGE - 25 Oct 2006 13:51 - 38 of 481

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.

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

EWRobson - 27 Nov 2006 20:47 - 42 of 481

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?

cynic - 27 Nov 2006 22:44 - 43 of 481

i held this share for quite a while, ultimately got very bored and tookm my modest profit ..... however, having now experienced at first hand their appalling customer service, i have no intention of venturing back in, for assuredly such incompetence is a reflection of the management

skyhigh - 27 Nov 2006 23:03 - 44 of 481

I'm just waiting for the next spike before getting out..

EWRobson - 27 Nov 2006 23:43 - 45 of 481

Thanks, cynic - I know you are an honest man being a golfer!

zscrooge - 28 Nov 2006 18:17 - 46 of 481

cynic - LOL. I'm sure Pipex will miss you. Dubens is shrewd, managment solid.
Bored traders never make real money. Happily, spivs usually prefer such notables as EVS, SEO and the like.
PXC has been a perfect trading share for several years but also offers long term investor possibilities.

cynic - 28 Nov 2006 19:55 - 47 of 481

Dubens may be shrewd, but believe me, the attitude and competence of those at the coal-face is a reflection of the management ...... imo, this share is not be bought on fundamentals

gbrown100 - 29 Nov 2006 14:21 - 48 of 481

I would agree that Pipex have real issues with their support and customer services. They seem to be having difficulty in fully integrating all of the companies that they have purchased. I am both hearing and experiencing this a lot and yet so far their subscriber figures seem to be going from strength to strength - I assume that this is mainly due to the acquistions.

dyor on the financial fundamentals - seem pretty secure to me

queen1 - 29 Nov 2006 19:52 - 50 of 481

I would tend to agree zscrooge.

2517GEORGE - 01 Dec 2006 14:36 - 51 of 481

Having a good day--------so far.

cynic - 01 Dec 2006 15:13 - 52 of 481

if the fundamentals to not stack up, then share should prob not be bought at all ...... old adage that one never buys a share just on t/o possibilites
