I see 250 quid turned up in my account seems to be a kCOM divi

[realcooltrader] 17/12/2009 14:34

It's less than 100k, actually it's 60k, which equates to 3.7% of the 1.610m. I'm not sure what the going rate is for a rollover fee, probably less than that though on reflection. Sorry you're still drowning, I have fortunately surfaced.

RCT, 100k shares being a fee for a rollover, wouldn't we all like a slice of that! Certainly surprising the share price dropped after the buys...then KCOM has been a lot of surprises for a lot of years. LOL...gawd whay am I laughing at, I am so underwater with these i'm likely to get the benz (if that's how they spell it) definately not the Mercedes type!

Its good to see some realcool and optomistic posts here

Hi opto, I would have thought that £1.4m buys would have shifted the SP, so I'm wondering if it was in fact a rollover using the difference as the fee? I'd rather your scenario, I guess an RNS will soon let us know if an insti's been buying.

1.5 & 1.6 mill buys!

Yep, looked good for the first hour, shame about the last half hour. Interims tomorrow.

Looks like we've got a breakout.

Courtesy of greekman on MAM:

"Also, a brokers note out....Astaire published a note on telephone firm KCOM (KCOM) in advance of the firm's interim statement which said that, though the firm's turnaround was now "well advanced", the expected revenue fall of 8.5% was "unappealing". The broker expects the rate of decline to have slowed from the 10.6% of the first half of 2009, due partly to the economic environment but also to the shift away from marginally profitable businesses, such as equipment enabling (or, "box shifting"). Astaire also expects positive comments from management on contract wins and an improvement of one percentage point on earnings as a result of better product mix. Declining returns from the Hull business are expected to be offset by improving margins and rising returns from the National Managed Communications business. The broker commented that the firm should not be judged too harshly on its first half performance as "this was always likely to be the weaker trading period of the two". Progress on margins, cost control and cash generation "should be evident". It retained its 'buy' stance and target of 45p. KCOM shares rose by 0.75p to 41.75p."

No I think thats what I am going to get; sorry not got the cash yet but I got a pop up message from Etrade and of course quickly glanced at it and closed it. So maybe thats the cash due on the 24th I think that was the date.

We will see

[realcooltrader] 05/11/2009 14:30

Yep, that was the 2008-09 Full Year divi, 1.0pps. Should get more later this month, well, declared anyway, usually gets paid in February.

[moneyman18] 27/10/2009 20:01

Either that or Directors buying

[25cent] 27/10/2009 09:37

No volume behind the fall, probably Aviva found another million behind the settee.

[realcooltrader] 27/10/2009 09:35

Hmm, certainly unusual action today, now in auction.

[moneyman18] 27/10/2009 08:57
