Matched the recent high of 232.05 earlier, now looking for another attempt at breaking it.

Close above 231 tonight, then quickly up to fill the gap at 240 within a couple of days. That's my guess, good luck everyone.

Very impressive call eaaxs - well done Sir/Madame.

More like the Telecoms sector having a good day across Europe. VOD, DT, Orange all up significantly.

Looks like the money is on the court finding in favour of BT,in moving from RPI to CPI??

The spivs playing this market like a fiddle, they know how to fiddle

From BTPS website - "In January 2018 the High Court published its judgment as to the correct interpretation of the Scheme Rules regarding BT’s ability to change from RPI to another index for the purpose of calculating Section C pension increases paid in the future. The High Court determined that it is currently not possible to change from RPI to another index. BT appealed this judgement and the case will be heard in the Court of Appeal on Tuesday 9 October – Thursday 11 October 2018. Following the hearing the Court will issue a decision. The Scheme’s website will continue to be updated with the latest news on this matter."

You could well be right, pacemaker, I heard the court case should take about 3 days, and that started yesterday.

Whether the powers that be then go away to investigate the claims/counter-claims I don't know?

[pacemaker1000] 10/10/2018 11:07

I read the rpi to cpi verdict won’t be until early 2019?

This is goin well smornin, what did someone pull the pin on a bear trap?

[eaaxs06] 10/10/2018 10:12

Telco’s are off to a good start today, even Vod is showing a gain. Not sure what’s caused this, as I can’t see any news out there which could influence them.

I think BT has the ability to make good gains here, and over the next 2/3 weeks (whether it will, of course, is another matter).

The CPI/RPI court case appeal started yesterday and the result should be known tomorrow. Everyone and his dog is expected BT’s appeal to be rejected, so why is BT appealing for such a lost cause, which would doubtlessly hit them by fees and charges.

The only obvious reason is that BT thinks they have a good realistic chance of success in overturning the previous judgement. IF (a very big IF) that would happen, BT shares could take up upwards, as all the bad news is already in the price.

Then, the run up to interim results on Nov 1st, which have the ability to be much better than expected. Last years Q4 figures were much better than it first looks, earning for that quarter of 7.3p were the highest for over 2 years. The change to a trading statement in this years Q1 meant comparisons can’t be made, but interim earning of around 14p+ aren’t too farcical, with full year hitting around 30p for a P/E of 7?

However dull and boring you think BT is, that’s incredibly cheap if it happens. Let’s hope it does, good luck everyone.

an assault on £2.30+ at last...hope it holds

[ekuuleus] 09/10/2018 18:17

on the one hand, that article on dodgy hardware is bogus.

seriously, chips so small they were inserted into the fiberglass. That's fantasy, the manufacturing process just would not support that.

on the other, intel incorporates a separate cpu within the CPU with it's own operating system. Accessing a computer using out of band coms regardless of the OS running is possible and until recently, a blank password was sufficient.

The best and ironic part of this, Intel actually markets this back door as V-Pro.

hahahahahahahaha

I suspect it going forwards it will be 2 steps forward and I step back

[hamhamham1] 09/10/2018 16:29

I am very surprised that the US let in those dodge chips on Chinese products into the USA.
I believe Huawei have have their products very well inspected here, although time will tell.
I guess it was more third party products.

[toon1966] 08/10/2018 16:36

Apple have a similar deal in Switzerland. Need also to remember that BT sports rights such as the PL, CL, Europa etc are for the UK only - so any tie up with Apple TV would be UK only I suspect.

[careful] 08/10/2018 14:28

The thought of Apple wanting to do business with BT is mind boggling.
Apple market cap about $1 trillion, BT about $30bn.

Apple only do things on a grand scale, they could not move the needle with a tiny deal, it would be a waste of time for them.
Hard to guess their long term plans, but this could be the start of something big.

BT's assets and market position could be worth a fortune to anyone with deep pockets.
look what happened to Sky recently.

Nice one smurfy :)
Am just happy to sit on these for the long term.

Is Monty still saying BT is the best short in the FTSE?
A spiteful and wrong statement he made here.
Still, at least he has his long on IAG to gloat about :)

[smurfy2001] 08/10/2018 08:24

Another attempt to break the 200 day moving average, this could be a signicant move for the long term share price.
