The malaise of our market is more or less across the board. UK Pension Funds have come down from owning nearly 50 percent to under 3 percent.
The BT Pension Fund is one of the biggest and worst culprits with under 1% in UK Equities.
Something needs to be done with our Pension and Investment Rules from Government to fix this but none of them seem to have a clue. Companies will start moving their listings to the US and other Exchanges it is only then will they do something though!

Just buying up 8-10% in the open market would test the water.
Any move by a new stakeholder in that % area would invigorate belief in the group potential.
As for an announcement about re-structuring Openreach......
If anything is going to happen, it better get a move on whilst Sunak is in No 10
Labour would not allow anything so adventurous. I M H O

Saudi Telecom dials up investors’ interest in BT

The big calls were being made about BT as events in the telecoms sector prompted talk of interest in the group from Saudi Arabia. In September, the Saudi Telecom Company built a 9.9 per cent holding in Telefónica, the Spanish operator and now came rumours that it was eyeing stakes in other European players. Sources said STC could make an approach to Patrick Drahi, the Swiss-based billionaire who is BT’s biggest shareholder, via his Altice UK vehicle, with a stake of almost 25 per cent. Shares of BT closed up 2½p, or 2 per cent, at 126p, although sources said that with Drahi having paid an average of 175p a share, any buyer would have to pay well over 200p

I think it has, last results show promise, capex down, cash flow improving, build coming to end, bond yields improving as inflation comes down helping pension fund and Morgan Stanley say it could double in a year and I believe it could. I work for this company and see big internal changes which the share price will reflect at some point. So keep the faith we will be rewarded I'm sure ?

The EE retail online shop has lots of listed out of stock items, want a Thinkpad laptop then you find generation 2 laptops when Thinkpad's are up to generation 5, why are they listing old out of stock items, not the greatest move into retail.

Though BT had turned a corner but recent doom and gloom has really killed any significant progress. Oh well maybe next year is better for suffering shareholders.

A snippet from a recent article in the Telegraph.


"BT is pushing technology that it claims will help solve rampant online fraud without reviving Big Brother fears sparked by Tony Blair’s national ID card scheme.

"The former telecoms monopoly has launched a new service and smartphone app dubbed EE ID, which it said will help it sell videogames and fridges to more customers regardless of their telecoms provider.

But bosses privately hope the app will ultimately become part of a nationally recognised digital ID that allows people to prove who they are online – without handing more control to American tech giants.

The ID would likely contain biometric information such as fingerprints and facial recognition and would prevent consumers from having to hand over passport details or other sensitive information to untrusted organisations.

The plan aims to avoid some of the privacy pitfalls of the National Identity scheme floated in 2001 by Tony Blair by not creating a centralised database and not giving the Government unfettered access.""



The following is a non RNS that was also linked the other day.

We are all aware of how the advances in AI and other technologies like quantum computing are providing more tools for hackers and criminals to be more effective but the thought that hackers have already stored data which they currently can't unencrypt because they know the will get the tools to unencrypt it in the future is worrying but it is good to see that BT is involved in new security but it won't protect what has already been stolen.

Recent broker comments were pump and dump...

[holly1000] 14/12/2023 08:12

Shorts will be closing out now I would think after last nights Powell comments

[netcurtains] 13/12/2023 13:25

come on BT you can do it!

While VOD is making new lows BT cannot run up...

[essentialinvestor] 12/12/2023 20:54

net, a quick 20% rise within a few weeks was liable to run in to some profit taking, so the OFCOM story as good an excuse as any. Not holding atm as find BT very difficult to take a view on.

i dunno, when companies have to start being more transparent about their prices (remember, the majority of the country not only don't understand things like CPI, they really don't understand percentages), when things start being being put in pounds and pence, the pressure on companies tends to go up. Maybe not this year, maybe not next, but somewhere in the medium term there might be a price to pay

[netcurtains] 12/12/2023 15:25

this is getting hammered really bad...

[holly1000] 12/12/2023 10:28

Low news event day in the editorial room must be desperate today. I do feel sorry for anyone who got stopped out today by the dramatic reporting from the BBC.

[hardupfedup] 12/12/2023 09:55

i thought this was positive for the teles as Ofcom has not stopped increases just the new contracts have to state amount of increase in £ -- BBC reporting this morning u would have thought the opposite ---- be glad to hear if I'm wrong

[holly1000] 12/12/2023 09:40

Completely agree No big deal. But great opportunity to pick some more up especially when Morgan Stanley reckons it could double in price.
