BT Group plc had revenues for the full year 2016 of 18.91bn. This was 5.93% above the prior year's results.

so knock of 500m and we are still looking at 18.4bn that is somewhere between last year and 2015 results.

A June 300p put is giving 16p. Tempting?

Harvester - I saw that you posted - any interest?

Those doodle dandies put the L in to litigious.

The ambulance chasers are out already...



SAN DIEGO, Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has commenced an investigation into whether BT Group plc (NYSE: BT) violated federal securities laws.

On January 24, 2017, BT cut its revenue, earnings and free cash flow forecasts for 2017 and 2018 after finding that inappropriate accounting behavior in its Italian business went far deeper than earlier thought. In October 2016, BT had revealed an initial investigation into historical accounting practices in Italy. Consequently, the size of the write-down on the business has more than doubled.

BT stated that revenue will now not grow for the next two years and earnings guidance was significantly reduced."We are deeply disappointed with the improper practices which we have found in our Italian business," Chief Executive Gavin Patterson said.

If you have information that could assist in this investigation, or if you are a BT shareholder and are interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact Jim Baker ([e-mail]) by email or by phone at 619-814-4471.

Gold miners will be the place to be for years to
come, at least whilst Mr Trump is in power.

This is moving around stupidly! 3.01 back tp 3.07 in minutes

[ny boy] 24/1/2017 15:21

I find them very attractive, happy to sit in them at a decent yield.

[philanderer] 24/1/2017 15:16

bb, totally agree about miners.

If there`s no more skeletons in the cupboard here and friday's statement goes well BT is yielding 4.7% now, on an unchanged dividend, which many will find attractive.

[isis] 24/1/2017 15:16

Just look at the trades screen - It's laughable, 20 trades at the same time frequently all algorithms.

Total Bolox.

[ny boy] 24/1/2017 15:15

Added a few more on that dip, way over sold and the usual over reaction,later in the year, we will be saying what was all the fuss about back in January.

[isis] 24/1/2017 15:11

Glencore 70p last January 330p today. Barclays dropped to 127p after Brexit vote now 228p.

Overreactions.

[bookbroker] 24/1/2017 15:07

If that is the case Phil., then the whole market is going to tank, albeit the miners, but by the third quarter the miners will be tanking, mainly because China cannot keep cooking their economy, the country's debt is nearly at 300% GDP!

[hubshank] 24/1/2017 15:07

Whilst I think it is a complete overreaction, I have no idea where it will land. So far today has been like falling down the steepest longest bumpiest run on the mountain and great speed - very bumpy and very painful.

a bit like a game of snakes and ladders this stock market business!!!

[isis] 24/1/2017 15:06

Probably delayed spending in the wake of Brexit which still hasn't been triggered yet.

[philanderer] 24/1/2017 15:04

".... the warning that spending by government and corporate customers has shown some signs of softening is the sting in the tail of the announcement.'

[bookbroker] 24/1/2017 15:04

Would not be surprised to see this run to 320p by the close, the resistance today from like 9am!

[hubshank] 24/1/2017 15:03

bookbroker, I am with you in that I too believe it is an overreaction.

[hubshank] 24/1/2017 15:02

The EBITDA contribution of the Italian business included in the Group's reported EBITDA for the financial year ended 31 March 2016 was around 1%.


I copied this line from his statement this morning.
