I'm amazed at how this has held up... Unjustifiably so IMHO. but its MM stock with only 2 MM's on a 5p spread and the rest on 7p & 10p it doesn't lend itself to traders. Its also currently under a price stabilisation... another reason its being held up I guess.



I'm very keen to be short on this but don't know when..

I thought these might be a good buy since we got em at 32p less at IPO. But since, I've always been down. I only bought £750 worth as a miniture gamble, but I'd have been better off taking it to the bookies.

Well... I had enough. It got to 570p the other day and I think that's the peak it's been riding this last month.

I'm out. The future looks much brighter for Marconi IMHO.

Although the price is starting to climb a bit now this is surely because Naz is pulling back.Many other techs and telcos doing much the same. Price is still below launch, and a lot of stabelisation occured then from MSDW et al. I would assume they will sell off their 'forced' holdings in this stock as price starts to rise. This means higher demand will be met by the selling off of tranches of stock for some time yet. And this in turn produces a lag in the stock price.
Orange may have been prevented from falling too far down a cliff at launch but it will be it's very saviours who will now hamper it's ability to climb back up

i wouldnt have bought these in the first week of trading, after that, i would have left it a while longer, i think at todays price, if you buy, then youll have some sort of return rather soon, theres plenty of talk about tech and telecoms stocks rising over the next six months, and it was talk that started the last tech boom, so i would if i did and could afford to hold, hold. Orange have a good product so there is little reason not to beleive theyll be a front runner, dont base a your company prognosys on the nationality of the major share holders, with the discount rate offered and the unfamiliarity of the ecu for british investors this one was never going to take off, but let the markets and the company as a single entity take the share price higher.

good luck all

Baildon: my advice is to take your loss on OGE and re-invest into a profitable company that has recently had it's shares re-valued to more sensible levels, like Logica for instance.

IMHO Price is inflated like other mobile service providers, i think this stock will suffer like VOD has done. What does Orange have that VOD doesn't? Orange has debt related to 3G licenses etc. Flotation was bit of a con...

Hey, the trick is to realise the potential of this company. Despite the current down-trend in TELCOs, it looks like history may well repeat itself, (watch this space). Has no one heard of UMTS? It's coming your way soon. Bought a load of these and I for one have the greatest confidence !!

Hi all,

I think to look at Orange realistically you have to look long term, I'm talking 3 - 5 years not 12 months. The company has the right brand, the right focus and the right ideas, just look at their track record, they were first to market with most of the new ideas, no ouch in our voucher, choose your own off peak etc... Also look at their plans 50 countries by 2003, over double what they cover now, i think too many people are looking at this one from a purely domestic view, they are moving internationally in a big way. This doesn't even take into account the Orange home and other developments...the future bright the future is most definetely Orange... I will be riding these all the way...

Squeeze me too. I'm another lemon. Just could not resist the chance that there was still enough good orange sentiment around for this one to buck the general telecoms malaise. It used to be the darling of the telco's but not any more, perhaps it is the `French Connection'. I shall just have to write off my £995 investment if I have to. Just could'nt risk being left out of a possible turn around. (P.S. Everytime I panic buy or sell I do the wrong thing.)

What a farce....

Orange advisers reportedly lost over 200 mln stg in flotation
LONDON (AFX) - The advisers to Orange PLC's float last week lost over 200
mln stg attempting to prop up the mobile phone company's sliding share price,
The Independent on Sunday reported without citing sources.
According to the report, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, which was appointed to
stabilise the price on behalf of the other advisers -- Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein and Societe Generale -- is said to have intervened regularly in the
face of the heavy selling pressure.
The three firms now face a boycott by some investors unhappy about the
handling of the float, the report said.
France Telecom SA sold 15 pct of Orange nine months after buying it from
Vodafone Group PLC. Orange shares are now trading 11 pct lower than their issue
price.
The report said much of the problem has stemmed from the decision of France
Telecom's advisers to issue a convertible bond shortly before the float.
A number of hedge funds are thought to have bought the bond and then sold
the Orange shares before the float. This pressure is said to have contributed to
the decision to knock 4.5 bln stg off the value of Orange, the report sayid
One institutional investor said: "I suggest that we will be giving fewer
commissions to Morgan Stanley and DKW in the future."

How nice of MSDW to jump in to save the ailing Orange. tee he!

The trouble lay in the convertible bond that Orange issued at the same time as the float. This can be converted into shares at a later date at the offer price of Eu10. At the time, it seemed a clever way of increasing the funds raised from the float. The trouble was that it gave large investors a one-way bet in the markets, and all investors love a one-way bet.

In effect large investors, particularly a number of hedge funds, appear to have bought the convertible bonds and then sold the shares short. This was a no-lose trade. If the Orange share price fell, they could buy back the shares at a lower price and take the profit. If it rose, they could simply wait until they could convert the bonds and then cover their positions at the offer price.

It appears that quite a few market professionals spotted this wrinkle. All the short-selling on the first day of trading created its own downward momentum on Orange's shares, generating handsome profits for a small number of traders but dismaying the 1.3m private investors, including 123,000 in the UK, who had rushed to take part in the float.

So many shares are held at the issue price that I think this share is now going to be a good investment. With so many shares held at a loss the resistence to sell is high. Orange is a quality telco. Orange is goiong to have a good year. IMHO!
