Its down almost 3% as you post

[optomistic] 11/9/2009 14:56

Well the 8 million that was sold this morning seems to have found a home otherwise I feel sure that the bid would have been marked down by now.
However 8 million isn't going to give anyone a large % holding....but it's a start.

27p to sell; Even to O2 it must be tempting

Thanks to aviva this remains pole axed.

[moneyman18] 11/9/2009 09:52

Prob selling to someone they owe a favour too. thats why you can never read a sell as a negative; especially of a Share that is already so marked down

[25cent] 11/9/2009 09:30

They only have about 17 million left to sell now.LOL
The cross trades will probbaly appear later.

[optomistic] 11/9/2009 09:30

Can't see that being Aviva, not the way they have been doing things, unless it's the finish of their sell order.

[optomistic] 11/9/2009 09:28

8mill sell at 27.25 and the bid left unmoved, is this what has been overhanging the market? If so we can hope for some upward movement from here................OK so I have an optimistic streak in me! LOL

[25cent] 11/9/2009 09:27

Looks like aviva just dumped another 8 million.

[moneyman18] 11/9/2009 08:51

A failed O2 approach will mean a drop in the share price :0(

[moneyman18] 10/9/2009 19:55

It will be the double for you :0)

[optomistic] 10/9/2009 19:43

Let's go for 88p then :-))

[moneyman18] 10/9/2009 19:36

Banking losses

[optomistic] 10/9/2009 18:38

Would be nice, but I can't see Aviva unloading with this in the wind, or are they really just faceless people who only see a computer screen and percentages that unload stocks.

[moneyman18] 10/9/2009 17:54

Todays MCAP is 149 mil approx; so we could be looking at 88p

heres a small piece i found



September 8, 2009

Sources claim O2 is close to announcing a new fixed line proposition for the SME and corporate markets, likely on the back of an acquisition
O2 is close to purchasing a fixed line provider to expand its offering to the SME and corporate markets, Mobile News understands.

O2 denied it was close to purchase of a fixed line supplier. However O2 distributors and dealers claimed to have been consulted already on how an O2 fixed offer might fit into their existing sales propositions, and several sources linked it with a deal for Hull-based Kingston Communications, which itself denied any O2 activity.

Kingston directors bought shares in the business at the end of August, sparking speculation a deal is in the offing.

O2 has said repeatedly it wants to be "communications integrator of choice", and has also stated its fixed line activity will ramp up in Q3. However, it has always maintained it will only purchase another provider if it makes better sense than to partner with it. O2 already works with BT for fixed line provision.

Kingston achieved operating profits of more than £30 million in its financial year ending March 2009, with revenues of more than £472 million. It employs more than 2,000 staff and is estimated to be worth £400 million in any purchase.

The group consists of a number of brands including Kingston Communications, Afiniti, Smart421, Eclipse and Karoo collectively offering converged services and solutions for fixed line voice and data, including IP, mobile voice and data and IT for both business and consumers nationwide.

Kingston Communications also has a direct partnership with O2 to provide its own customers with mobile telecom products and services converged with its own offerings.

O2 is expected to announce the move next week.

Thats true; if you have the time the small co's are where you can make good money due to the spread. and of course are more likely to double in price; BUT also half if you are unluky !

[stevi111] 10/9/2009 09:30

Already do Moneyman...

With Kcom being dead most of the time it means I can leave an order running in the background on Kcom whilst playing on more active stocks.

[moneyman18] 10/9/2009 09:28

It is so difficult to read the movements when the share price is so low. 26p 28p so difficult to trade due to liquidilty; if you want to trade you should look to bigger companies; BT, CW, VOD etc

[stevi111] 10/9/2009 09:25

not sure....Got a couple of orders on 27.25p & 27p bids.

An offer on 28.25p as well.
