Excellent strength on a truly awful Friday.
My only stock to finish blue!

The bounce today means very little, short term. It's still heading down to at least the £1000 level, probably £950 for a healthy correction on the May to July impulse move. As long as the £840 level is not breached, then you can remain quite bullish, below that line and you're back in the long term downward trend.

Up 3% on a day like today - what's that telling you?

Wait till the market turns positive and see what it does imo :-)

Their Smith , you heard it from a very experienced and successful trader !

[cockneyrebel] 21/8/2015 10:12

Bucking the market on a bad day - usually a big buy signal imo.

Smithy deluded and now a blatant liar ! " I have called this right since September "
You were on this board bombarding it with multiple posts about shorting this stock at 7.50p and we all know you missed the lovely and rapid rise back to £12.
Sensible holders are here on the back of statements like this

"Financial Highlights:

-- Revenue up 10.5% to GBP729.2m
-- Adjusted profit before tax up 22.5% to GBP52.2m
-- Statutory profit before tax up 21.3% to GBP42.1m
-- Adjusted EPS up 9.3% to 53.0p
-- Full year dividend up 14.3% to 40p per share
Operating Highlights:

-- Over 580,000 Members
-- Service numbers up by 208,000 to 2.1 million
-- Continuing strong organic growth in both services and Members
-- Relocated to new headquarters, providing capacity for future growth
-- Shortlisted by Which? for 'Best Telecom Services Company' in 2015 Annual Awards
-- Public Champion in European Business Awards "

Or this,

" We remain on track to meet market expectations for adjusted pre-tax profits of between GBP54m and GBP58m for the current financial year, and to deliver a 15% increase in the dividend to 46p per share. "

You are here deliberately attempting to sway opinion to suit your failing position, do us all a favour and hide back under that stone!

Smithy.. you are like the looser in the betting shop, always crowing and smug about his rare winner, but fails to tell you of all his losses.
As for meeting you, I am not into blind dates with deluded strange men, but if you have a pretty mouth I know a man who is !

You should be at the Edinburgh Fringe wanttowin!!

That actually did make me laugh!!

I got nothing to hide if you that is what you think I am quite prepared to meet up and show you my live City Index Account where these shorts reside and I am quite happy to open up my Hargreaves Lansdown account and show you my contract purchase notes on TEP circa 832p and their eventual disposal last year at 1700p which raised over £ 30 K for me to increase my holdings in Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon and Next which on my part was a right decision.

Not that I need to prove anything to a numpty like you wanttowin but if you want to see the proof with your own eyes you can contact me at [e-mail] to arrange an appointment at a mutually convenient time and place. I am often in London on business if that is your area.

[wanttowin] 20/8/2015 08:59

Smithy..that contract note you say you drop boxed, was it the one you made with your kids John Bull printing set?

[lennonsalive] 20/8/2015 08:28

How's the short going?

[psmith1964] 19/8/2015 16:50

Based on a forward profit at the mid point of £ 56 million and on a company where growth is showing obvious signs of slowing down with profit forecasts down from last year I think a P/E of 9 is more realistic with the competition TEP faces from its competitors hence the reason I am sticking with my forecast of circa 600p per share.

The earlier forecast given by one of the boards rampers of 1500p would put TEP on a forward P/E of circa 22 which is laughable fantasy land stuff gone are those days when the company warranted that price tag IMHO, DYOR as ever.

I just wonder what the board is going to be like should my forecast be proven right.

I know what it will be like if I am proven wrong and I cam handle that and hold my hands up and say I got it wrong but Unjust wonder what the board will be like if the rampers are proven wrong.

[psmith1964] 19/8/2015 16:34

No chance of 1500p in the next 24 months fontbible IMHO.

You need to take a peek at what is going on around you in the energy and telecoms sector to understand my thoughts there.

Ask yourself where have the over 1,000,000 defectors from the big 6 gone in the last 12 months? With customer gains looking likely to be less than the bottom end 40,000 figure quoted in the April update replaced by a mid digit growth figure in the June Report which could mean growth in customers as low as 20,000 - 25,000 which possibility means churn is still likely to be on the rise from competition such as GB Energy another relatively new entrant on the scene with much cheaper standard tariffs and then there is all those cheaper fixed tariffs out there.

Hardly surprising SL have tested the water with what may be the start of an orderly offload of their holding.

Interesting few months ahead I think on the run up to the interims when we will see something a little more concrete regarding growth and churn.

Well smith my shares in TEP that I bought at £7.50 are doing very nicely thanks, looking to get out in the next 24 months circa £15, this share was well in oversold territory, for a well run and managed company. Your scaremongering wont convince me. What price did you buy back in at? Still think your one sided view wont help you here though.
