If Bt has bought back 2million 5 thousand shares to day. How come it shows on trades as a sell?

LoL Dil, i take it you are short then?
i dont see it as top just yet because price movement is pretty boring (which i like) and i associate tops with larger swinging volatility in price ranges.just my opinion of course.
and i am often wrong.
can anyone confirm the true traded high for today? MAM show it as 206.4.
is that correct? anyone?
thanks and regards to all

No not short mate I just love mitzy's mood changes ... 10p one minute and a fiver next with justifiable reasons :-)

blimey Dil that was quick.
MAM have changed their data high to a different and hopefully correct figure of
200.60. good for them to have responded so quickly at such a late hour.
i knew you werent short ;-)

Waiting for a dip.

have just looked at MAM bar chart.price appears to have made a spike high at 210.65 and closed below its opening price of 203.8.
to me that reads very bearish.unfortunately(or fortunately maybe) i am not convinced that the spike high is accurate data.

jkd - the 12 month high is/was 204.80. Unfortunately MAM charts are full of false spikes.

Ex-divi on 10th Aug '11 (5p)

i'm still holding and hanging in there. but only just.
close shave yesterday but i got away with it, or did i?
i followed and am following my plan. the next day or so or week or so
will tell.
good luck

Wish I had bought at 188.3p. Tried to squeeze the sp a little lower. Hope to be in soon for the divi .

First Quarter Results.

Key points:



DSL broadband net additions were 251,000 in the quarter, of which BT's retail share was 141,000, or 56%

Our copper line base grew for the third consecutive quarter

BT Global Services' order intake was 1.6bn in the quarter

First quarter results add to our confidence in delivering our outlook

I've been a long time holder of BT.A
Wish I'd just put my money under the mattress. Apart from a couple of nice dividends my investment has just tread water...

Telegraph has an article about them today:
Demand for super-fast broadband drives BT profits

Skinny, are you still trading this? Can't decide where the current high should be. Maybe 204p, but divi coming up, so sp may push somewhere higher than that.

Still here Harry - I guess today it may be getting a small boost from VOD.

Sold....got nervous and took profit. Will buy back in at c190p, hopefully before divi.

I think you have every chance!

All we need now is for the yanks to pull the rabbit out of the hat and deliver a budget / debt settlement and these will be at 210 before you can blink.

Harry - have you bought back in? I've bought @188 also got filled on some VOD @164 - time will tell.

Yes, bought a hefty slice at 198p. Was worried about being out before divi, so took the plunge. Sadly a liitle early! But this hasn't been nearly as badly hit as many other more speculative stocks.

the weekly bar or candle chart might be worth taking a look at for those interested in such things. its only developing and not yet complete or confirmed .just my opinion and please be sure to do your own research and draw your own conclusions.
good luck and regards
