It will be interesting to see how Charles Dunstone performs when he takes over the reigns. He has done a fine job at Dixons Carphone and does seem to know the business.
The month of May I think is his start date.

A couple of 600k trades just gone through. Is that what it was all about?

[1gw] 07/4/2017 14:08

No idea, can't see any obvious news, so I've just picked up a chunk at 190p hoping for a quick bounce back.

[fenners66] 07/4/2017 13:47

What happened?
Surely not a reaction to US payrolls!

[borg45] 06/4/2017 16:05

Come talk 9p more and I go from £8k down to profit !!!!

[kulvinder] 04/4/2017 22:12

Well they are going to have a shock when it hits £2.50 in the next few months.

[1gw] 04/4/2017 18:08

Another shorter (Carlson Capital) appeared on the list as of 31st March, going against the recent trend of reducing declared positions. Trying to pick a top?

Happy to hold for more recovery and the 8% Dividend.

[3dwd] 03/4/2017 17:22

I liked the volume today .. plus a buy recommendation...happy to hold on . Hopefully Dunstone will sell it to the chinese !!!

[borg45] 03/4/2017 16:17

Question is do I bail at £1:95 after months watching it around £1:60s or will it kick on ???

[borg45] 03/4/2017 16:14

Same here £1:95 & £2:04 been a very disappointing buy !!! That Dido has a lot to answer for !!!

[1gw] 03/4/2017 16:00

Well if we can get back above about 204p, I'll have one purchase in profit, which will leave only 9 purchases out of the money!

Activity (certainly in terms of number of trades reported) seems to have picked up considerably since about 14:30 when the US markets opened.

[septimus quaid] 03/4/2017 15:31

Hmm, my losses are now sub £3k

[kulvinder] 01/4/2017 12:35

I keep thinking it can GC, but just want other opinions as to confirm it just not being over optimistic and dreaming of a profit here.

[garycook] 01/4/2017 09:52

Why not.Been there before ! Nice Dividend also.

[kulvinder] 01/4/2017 09:33

Do we see a rise back to £2.50 in the near future here? Any thoughts anyone?

[septimus quaid] 01/4/2017 07:25

BT have been holding this country to ransom for decades.

I initially thought Sharon White was s bit of s lightweight for the role of ofcom chief but she's fair starting to stick the boot into these robbing b@stards.

"LONDON--The U.K.'s communications regulator Friday said it plans to cut the price telecommunications company BT Group PLC's (BT.A.LN) infrastructure business Openreach can charge other telecoms companies for its high speed broadband network.

Ofcom plans to reduce the charge from 88.80 pounds ($111) a year to GBP52.77 by 2020-21. The reduction will likely be passed on to telecoms companies' customers, leading to lower bills, Ofcom said.

Earlier this month BT reached an agreement with Ofcom that will result in Openreach, which provides cable infrastructure for BT and other telecoms companies, becoming a legally separate company with its own board and management".

[muscletrade] 31/3/2017 08:23

So Talk will now pick up its share of a £300m BT fine and now will also have approx 40% reduction in costs from openreach over the next 3 years. shorters will be a little anxious now.

[garycook] 31/3/2017 04:08

UT Auction Trade.

[borg45] 30/3/2017 18:34

Is the 900k @16:35 a buy or a sell ?If it's a buy someone knows something!!!

[borg45] 29/3/2017 10:42

Ph1tsAbout time !!!

Re The OFCOM findings and large fine for BT.

It would appear to me that TalkTalk would now have very strong grounds to start civil/corporate litigation against BT for loss of income, unfair market practices and very significant financial compensation.

Share price has been perking up since return of Sir Charles in an Executive capacity combined with BT getting a major slap on the wrists and the separation of Openreach.

Good also to see Talktalk significantly hotting its marketing campaigns up again.

After a couple of years in the wilderness, it seems that a rapid rehabilitation for TalkTalk is underway as the operating environment turns positively in its favour.

Very encouraging.

ALL IMO. DYOR.
