Unfinished business at 200p...

[montyhedge] 31/5/2018 08:49

You may be right, I would not say dead money, when investors getting 7.3% while waiting for news on Openreach, Deutsch Telecom 12% stake when embargo ends.But the most hated share in the FTSE 100 for the last three years, would not take much to change sentiment at this low level. Potential bulls want to buy below 200p, it's not going to happen.

Monty.....'Dead money' where is BT share price going......there is a lack of confidence in the company....will hold off adding as share price will drift short term...not up but down !

At least anyone buying now getting in 50p per share cheaper than the new Chairman paid for half a million pounds worth of shares 255p, lol. The chairman has a reputation for getting things done, I expect news soon.

Only problem with these unbeatable deals is it is illustrative of deflation of computer memory and call costs.

I am not in here just yet but will say that the BT mobile family SIM deal is immense. The 4G coverage is unbeatable and we have 4 Sims with 5GB on each for £29 pm added onto the home bill. They should be hoovering up customers, it's unbeatable.

Same within the M25 area. EE blowing the competition away, we seen it in the figures.

[montyhedge] 30/5/2018 17:40

They can't afford a mobile where you live, lol.

[ekuuleus] 30/5/2018 17:34

not where I live.

and way too many mobile phone shops on highstreet. Easily 10% of the shops.

Monty, I did a mini survey like that last weekend in Bath.
Three - empty and painful to even walk in.
O2 - one person in it.
Vodafone - had 2 or 3 people in it.
EE - half a dozen in there, 4 being served and 2 waiting. Their knowledge and service IMO is by far the best, but I'm biased;)

[montyhedge] 30/5/2018 17:27

Look at any EE shop at the weekend, queues at the counter.

[hamhamham1] 30/5/2018 16:49

I would have thought that Carphone Warehouse are a victim of neither manufacturing the handsets nor owning the 4G carrier.
If you buy both off others at a small discount with a hope to make a profit then it's not a great place to be.
Especially when consumers are holding onto their handsets for longer, that even makes a better case for being a 4G carrier IMO.
I think their business model became defunct when Samsung and EE etc, started to open up in the high street direct.

FTSE and BT are like opposing magnets...🙁

[minerve] 30/5/2018 16:12

toon - fair enough. I know some of you here are awake. :)

[minerve] 30/5/2018 16:11

Switch to on-line shopping. OK. Did you actually read the update? It is more than that and similar issues will affect EE.

[toon1966] 30/5/2018 16:05

Minerve - I did see this yesterday. Posting info on this would have been a bit of a waste as 'top traders' such as Montyhedge and Diku are more interested in hearsay/conjecture on BT selling assets such as Openreach for £25 billion or whatever figure they most like.

[pacemaker1000] 30/5/2018 16:04

What’s happening with Carphone Wharehouse is to do with the switch to online shopping...duh!

[dmf] 30/5/2018 15:51

Metal Guru....from what I can recall was long BT at £5k a point?

£500,000 loss sounds about right Monty.....unless he has been closed out/ margin call !

[minerve] 30/5/2018 15:18

Investors of BT and yet not a single mention here of Dixons Carphone yesterday!!!

EE do sell mobile phones like Carphone Warehouse don't they?

I think most of you need to sharpen your game a bit boys.

[kmann] 30/5/2018 15:07

Buy volume ahead of sells, just general market sentiment suppressing a move higher imo. Lower price entry now.

[hamhamham1] 30/5/2018 14:21

Maybe O2 just won't have the standalone infrastructure in place, sounds like sour grapes to me :)

[hamhamham1] 30/5/2018 13:27

This is an interesting article about 5G and traditional telcos, it says from what I can glean, that traditional telco's are undervalued and there is also a lot of extras costs for potential 5G providers because they need to create a new standalone network infrastructure to support the 5G requirements in bandwidth.
i.e.- 5G cannot piggyback on the back of existing 4G infrastructure.

In regards to BT/EE, now EE can leverage the BT infrastructure to get the 5G solution to market far cheaper (compared to any 5G only providers).

extracts from article..

Standalone 5G, on the other hand, is the idea of a fifth generation network that is built from scratch and does not piggyback on existing infrastructure, according to Sullivan. That sort of network would require higher capital investments.

"Non-standalone 5G cannot handle the technical requirements that are devoted to 5G," Sullivan said.

The investment bank said its analysis shows that within Asia, Japanese and Chinese telcos stand to benefit the most from non-standalone 5G networks. That's because they would be able to offer 5G services to users by tapping into existing infrastructure, thereby reducing costs.

The bank's analysis said telcom stocks in those two markets were trading below what they're worth, suggesting that risks associated with 5G investments were priced in.

How pleasant, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
What a chance to get a better peep
At the plants and creatures of the deep

[montyhedge] 30/5/2018 12:58

Metal Guru, hope I hope he was joking if not he loss 500,000 pounds.

[kulvinder] 30/5/2018 12:55

What happened to the man who had millions of these in CFD's a few months back when the price was around £2.85? I can't remember his name.
