got a write up on Citywire yesterday - pretty good.

A bit illiquid as you say, I wouldn't buy a shedload. But it looks like it might have 10% or so in it medium term perhaps?

Not sure I'd hold it long term or buy more without a bit more news or research but a nice little one to have a few of I suspect.

Lovely thing about this stock is you only have to buy 500 to move the price up. Shame it works the other way too.

No mention of yesterdays results here - which looked very good and make the company look cheap imo.

A dead bulletin board too - I like that, little hype inn the price.

Been buying a few today.

Seems to be making a breakout too.

the only answer I can give you is that you donate a few quid to the Energis Share Action Group and register yourself, ie, on the above header....they may still be prepared to make some form of legal confrontation on behalf of the Energis shareholders....but don`t hold your breath....we`ve been waiting for three years for some form of action...and still nothing.... on second thoughts...maybe best to keep your cash in your pocket.

Raven
You must be a Billionaire if you think you can short CW to the floor, and as you are on public BB's I doubt that very much. It looked like CW topped at 165, but a few buyers have come back in at 152.5 on wednesday, question is, will 165 get taken out?

[raven] 19/8/2005 00:08

I'm already involved like many, against C.W with a U.S law suit.

C.W will be hit very hard over the coming months.

C.W is a stock I will short to the floor.

C&W 'is being held to ransom' on Energis takeover
By Elizabeth Judge, Telecoms Correspondent



MERRILL Lynch and Morgan Stanley were accused of holding Cable & Wireless to ransom last night after refusing to back the telecoms group's planned £780 million takeover of its smaller rival Energis.
The investment banks, which hold about 25 per cent of one class of Energis's debt on behalf of clients, including hedge funds, are said to be determined to use their blocking power to squeeze a higher price out of C&W. A deal would require support of at least 75 per cent of the debt holders.



Their alleged stance could cause C&W to walk away from the deal when a deadline for acceptance of the firm's unofficial offer expires on Monday. Sources close to the alternative telecoms carrier made it clear last night that C&W would not be returning with an improved offer.

The tactics employed by the two Wall Street banks are likely to anger Energis's management and other financial backers, who are believed to be happy with the offer already on the table - thought to be about £780 million.

They will also lead to fresh criticism of investors such as hedge funds, which take a short-term focus on investments. Unlike Energis's other debt holders, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch are believed to have amassed their holding only recently, when rumours of a sale first surfaced. Morgan Stanley declined to comment.

The price offered by C&W is thought to be the result of months of delicate negotiations with Energis's management. Having achieved a price satisfactory to both sides, C&W is considered extremely unlikely to budge on its offer. Energis was rescued from collapse three years ago by its banks. They pumped in equity for debt and installed Archie Norman, the former boss of Asda, as chairman.

The collapse of takeover talks would be a huge blow for Mr Norman, who stands to benefit financially if a sale goes through. A deal would also free him to follow ambitions in other sectors. He has been widely tipped to move to Morrisons, the supermarket, although he denies any interest in such a move.

It is understood that C&W, aware of the hard-ball tactics that hedge funds and debt holders can play, insisted early on in the negotiations that it would table a formal offer for Energis only if it was guaranteed the requisite support. It is likely to have wanted to tread particularly carefully after previous talks for the company - which took place about a year ago - collapsed when the two sides locked horns over price.

Analysts believe that if the talks collapse the value of the debt would fall by between 30 and 40 per cent in the short term.

It is understood that there are no other potential suitors for Energis, the sector's third biggest player. Analysts believe the synergies between C&W and Energis are the best that could be achieved in the sector.

jakNife,what has Ision got to do with C&W ?the banks got all there money back,the bondholders swapped there debt for shares in Chelys,so why should they get the money,IF THERE IS ANY TO COME pscome to think of it what has CHELYS got to do with ENERGIS PLC ?

[chief cashier] 18/8/2005 22:01

ref JakNife....what`s the deal with the Sion `problem`...so far....and who would be the beneficiary of any resolution?

[wayneb] 18/8/2005 17:52

JakNife

£560bn ??

[chief cashier] 17/8/2005 22:58

on the other hand..you could put them into your pension fund....what good will that do...I hear you say.... so that every time you see them they will remind you to stay away from the stock exchanges, they`re full of crooks and put your cash into bricks and mortar........and enjoy your retirement.


Every one involved with the `sale` of Energis made money...imagein if it was sold for DOUBLE the amount,ie,£1.8bn...they would have made twice as much...and you still would not have received a SINGLE PENNY....it`s this `Scheme of Arrangement` that need to be looked into by the esag...our last and only hope.
