Agree with monty 295 soon

That's not the cause, it algorithm trading by computers as well. Certain levels triggers buys and sells. Plus been bad news from BT.

The confluence of depressed valuation, weak sterling and phenomenal upside potential enabling exponential digital growth must make BT very attractive to any player who can offer £50bn even in own shares.Let's see which organisation is smart enough to recognise and grasp the opportunity while the circumstances allow it. Good luck all.

I really think 295p. I know bulls disagree and good luck to them.

[dumspirospero] 04/4/2017 10:34

There has to be a price level at which BT becomes too attractive to be left independent by an astute acquirer and more and more the question seems like a matter of when.....just my opinion.

[montyhedge] 04/4/2017 10:14

Problem is 94% of positions in BT are long, 6% short, I see with one spreadbetter so if stop losses are triggered, avalanche of sellers in cfds.Only my theory.

BT Group may sell its Italian unit, and Fastweb and Vodafone are potential buyers, reported Sunday Telegraph citing sources.

Good point on defamation Montyhedge, I do recall you calling me an 'amateur' and an 'idiot' in recent weeks.....

[montyhedge] 02/4/2017 09:41

Hash tagthegrimreaperBe careful what you accuse me of, defamation of character can be very expensive.

From The Independent

Kind of puts things in perspective.




You could almost hear the wrists being slapped in the City as the week got started with news of one corporate fine alongside speculation over the size of another.

BT is the company where the size of the penalty is known. It was told to pay £42m for failures at Openreach, which owns the network of cables used by most broadband companies. It will also have to make good with its corporate customers, who constantly complain about the service they receive, to the tune of £300m.

Now, the headlines all read “record penalty” because it is. But let’s give a bit of context to the numbers.


Read more

BT slapped with £42m Ofcom fine for regulatory breaches at Openreach
Thames Water fined £20.3m for polluting the River Thames with sewage
Plusnet fined £880,000 by Ofcom for billing former customers

In just the third quarter of its current financial year, BT Group generated £6.1bn in revenue, and made a profit of £526m on that.

The combined penalty, including the compensation, therefore represents about two months’ worth of earnings, and just over a week’s worth of revenue.

If you wanted to set the penalty against just Openreach’s numbers, it represents less than a month of revenues.

Painful? Undoubtedly. But the level of financial discomfort to BT and its shareholders is more along the lines of what you might expect from a ’flu jab than anything more serious. It hurts a bit at first, and is often sore for a few days afterwards, but that’s all.

Capo....we're a long way off mobile broadband and by the time we get there fibre will be established which will still be far superior to it in terms of speed etc.
Even then you have to understand that the mobile network will still be working over BT fibre.
So in brief, BT is here stay in one way or the other!
Hope this helps
