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.

yes but i was on more than 9k at the time.

9k isnt much these days..........another thing that brown has hardly increased just like inheritance tax. Most things have at least doubled or even trebled in 10 years.
CGT should be nearer 20k.

Even a decent car costs at least 20k

why doesnt brown waken up and stop living in the past.....of course he has fat pension too....he's even icreased his pension by 1.7 million since Labour in power......nose in the trough as usual

must be being shorted by tradx's crew i reckon...or hoodies?

scott* .... and your point is? .... seemingly, rather than pay twopence tax on your gains over 9k you would rather whinge now that you have done your dosh and seemingly still not bitten the bullet

u never seem to understand my comments cynic.

The point is 9k is way undervalued in moderrn age.....it should be nearer 20k!

got the picture now...........i also note that any share that i have that aint doing well, u seem to be on it almost every day..........it doesnt bode well then for pipex.........it was doing fine ticking up bit by bit years ago until this year when u suddenly appeared when it surged to 17p

"The point is 9k is way undervalued in moderrn age.....it should be nearer 20k!" ...... what a load of tosh! ..... gov'ts are not there to featherbed investors or anyone else; their (correct) concern is to garner sufficient (tax) revenues to enable the country to be run sensibly - if that is not imbuing the powers that be with too much innate common sense and honesty and everything else!

my gripe with you, inasmuch as i can be bothered to have one, is that you just whinge about something that is entirely your own fault though, like many others, you are seemingly incapable of accepting responsibility for your own (in)actions

Any reason for the SP rise????

Looks like Kaupthing Bank, HBOS & Collins Stewart have bought shares. I think! Find these notifications hard to understand Perhaps that's the reason.

at least cynic bought at 16 or 17p in big amounts........he must have lost a fortune....and he hyped this up more than 6 months ago, lol.

he'll pretend he sold now i bet for a fraction of a loss.........he's bought lead too recently, another loser.

u only see cynic on shares that recently tumble.........u hardly see him on a share that rises

he should change his nick to "LOSER".....or "mongrel" or "gypsy illegal immigrant" or "wee runt"

the most i had here was 350,000 and for sure i lost money, though perhaps not as much as you might wish i had ...... from memory, i got out of the last ones at about 12.5 several months ago

but at least i own up to ones where i make a mistake and find no need to lower myself to your level of boorish personal abuse

Scot, this isn't ADVFN. No need at all for your caustic comments.

oh he can be as caustic as he likes, but he isn't witty or intelligent enough to be entertaining at it .... merely shows him in his boorish true light

i just hope your name aint gordon! god, how do we get rid of that so called pm.....totally incompetent

he's scottish too isn't he?

i'm embarassed to say he is........but you english seem to accept the biggest scots idiots down in london......brown, darling and browne.....scary!

mind you we have wendy alexander up here.....if she had a brain, she would be dangerous

with some scots, even our renowned patience wears out

What is there left for pipex now? I am still a little confused as to what got sold off and what didn't. Is there anything left to look forward to here?

there aint much to look forward to in UK with gordon brown and co let alone pipex.........i'm still holding to see what happens.......part of my portfolio and still in profit so still ok

suposed to be selling everything (less wi-max joint venture)including most of the bank balance to an investment company to which dubens has an interest in.watch for the price as the hosting businesses should be worth at least 175 million plus money in bank.anything less would be very suspect.wi-max has lots of potential but might not contribute to earnings for another year or more yet.dont expect this share price to fly unless one of the competion takes a liking to the wi-max licanse and know how of pipex.will continue to hold myself.

This was in FT yesterday.....


Pipex up on wireless bid vibe

Published: January 3 2008 02:00 | Last updated: January 3 2008 02:00

Pipex , the internet and telecommunications company, was in focus late yesterday as bid rumours swirled.

Following the 210m sale of its broadband and voice business to Tiscali in September, Pipex put its web hosting and business service division up for sale and said it would demerge its fledgling wireless business.

The talk in the market yesterday was that the two divisions could fetch up to 130m and that proceeds would be returned to shareholders. One interested bidder is Oakley Capital Private Equity, in which Peter Dubens, the founder and chairman of Pipex, is a partner. Pipex closed 0.7 per cent higher at 8.53p.
