rb...I was think the same...last 3 days PI's have been buying and the current price just above 300p looks too artificial/stale...

[rb5] 27/1/2017 10:16

Or possibly holding the 300p level to suck everyone in long before they pull the rug. Every bounce is being sold. Wait for signs the big boys are buying in again. Trying to catch the bottom tick is a mugs game.

LMAO, you have at the last 3 words!.

In case anyone wonders what BT do in Italy - an unlikely event I know - here's a
(Google translated) quote from their BT Italia site:

'In tune with the specific needs of the Italian market, BT has selected and built a set of communication services where even the small and medium enterprises can transform the way we work and collaborate, reducing the complexity, cost and the need for management.'

Hmm!

Glenkaz, if we knew such things as the bottom, we would all be millionaires!!! All I know is, every time I have been in BT, it has always done me over....- just remember the market is at it's historic high - and at some point profit taking will take place to send it down to the 6000 mark. Good luck anyway.

Call me cynical but I reckon it is being held at 300 mark to allow income funds to load up. Yield too tempting at this level

[philanderer] 27/1/2017 09:59

Thanks for posting that Jenny.

One to tuck away now and let the dust settle. Going nowhere short term.

[mbmiah] 27/1/2017 09:56

The accounting practices could potentially be found in other parts of the BT business - hence the lack of movement in share price IMO

[glenkaz] 27/1/2017 09:55

From year high bt are down a staggering 40%!! Surely that's bottom🤔

[excell1] 27/1/2017 09:54

Thanks Jenny.Yes indeed it's all about the attractive dividend.Just sit back and enjoy the yield.

Message to the troops this morning, reflecting on the latest figures.
(I've high-lighted the best bit)...


Q3 financial results 2016-17
In Q3 we’ve made progress in many areas. Across most of the Group our financials were robust. We’ve seen record revenue growth in EE, strong delivery in Consumer and we’re also pleased that in Openreach we achieved record fibre broadband connections.
Operationally it was a strong quarter in terms of demand for our mobile services, which shows the breadth of our appeal in the mobile market and also on fibre where 51% of our retail broadband base are now taking a fibre service. We also saw a 15% increase in BT Sport’s average audience figures, demonstrating the strength of the proposition.
We are continuing to face challenges though in the UK public sector and international corporate markets. And our investigation into BT Italy also impacts today’s results. As I said on Wednesday, we’re identifying the root causes and are taking steps to safeguard against this happening again. The unacceptable practices by some, accounting or otherwise, that we’ve found in our Italian business has no place at BT. I’m angry on behalf of colleagues and shareholders that the integrity of BT has been undermined by wrong-doing in one part of the business and I have zero tolerance of this sort of behaviour.
The impact of all of these factors mean that we’ve revised our financial outlook for the Group. We now expect underlying revenue to be broadly flat this financial year and next, and we expect EBITDA to be around £7.6bn this year and to be broadly flat next year. With regard to our dividend per share we expect this to grow by at least 10% this year and next.
While this has been a difficult couple of days for us, we mustn’t lose sight of the fact that BT is still a profitable company, generating strong cash flow. Our strategy remains the right one. But we’re not complacent and the BT leadership team is totally focused on executing our strategy to be a strong, competitive, growing and integrated telecommunications provider.
Delivering on our strategy, rests on the strengths of our relationships with our customers. We’re making progress on improving the experience our customers receive, although this is a long journey. EE is now handling all of its customer service calls in the UK and Ireland and Consumer is set to recruit a further 900 people as it increasingly returns calls from overseas. Openreach has also made good progress in meeting its commitment to halve missed appointments year on year. Going forward making changes to the customer experience continues to be a priority for us and we need to build momentum and invest to ensure our service levels improve and our customers see the benefit.
We’re also continuing to make voluntary changes to the way Openreach is governed. And we believe an agreement can be reached with Ofcom on its Digital Communications Review that is fair, proportionate and sustainable, and provides certainty and clarity for BT and the industry, as well as ensuring the best outcome for the UK.
I’d like to thank everyone for their continued hard work this quarter. In summary, the vast majority of our business is performing well, but we’re facing headwinds in the UK public sector and international corporate markets and this is going to be challenging for us. While the situation in Italy is extremely disappointing, BT will recover. Now is the time to redouble our efforts and continue to work together as one team to deliver a great Q4.

Gla holders we should do well from here! 🤒

[montyhedge] 27/1/2017 09:10

If it was not for Moody's jumping on the slate BT bandwagon last night, these would be 320p this morning.

[bookbroker] 27/1/2017 08:59

Forget the Italian episode, it's history now, more important is forward outlook, yeah confidence beaten, but investors have short memories, off more concern is the operation of this business ahead!

[kmann] 27/1/2017 08:56

Waiting for a firm direction to be established. Looks positive tho imo.
