Can anyone help, been with talktalk since it took over tiscali many years ago. Last week all my historic and current emails disappeared. I contacted them to be told because you are in PoP3 and not IMAP they are all lost??? Why has this happened now after all these years. (no answer) I went on line and found many users had received correspondence (months ago )stat ing that if you don't pay for TalkTalk Web mail you will loose all your emails??? is this the case
Same that's I was think, you can potentially get two for the price of one, but BT has too much debt though.
Just an opinion, but maybe BT. It appears inevitable that Openreach will be hived off. If so what would the terms be for BT shareholders. Thanks
Yeah, sold out couple of weeks ago.
Sad really, did have big hopes here - hey, ho
Got the papers today and seems it's going ahead with it, I think Charley should be striped of his title.
My holding is over 28K shares and average of £2.60 the loss is staggering, I will get cash and hope to recoup from other telecom's.
Bt or Vod any thoughts on which one to go for?
the deal is done.. no white knight coming over the hill to save this dog. They have been hoping for a white knight for years. Charly D has used his position to screw over the small investors in cahoots with Tosca. I find it amusing that everyone blames Tosca for being opportunist where it has been Charly D and fellow greedy board members who wielded their power to take the company cheaply...
Not a lot of recent chat on here. With the SP at a moderate 98p+ just asking what people expect here going forward very short term obviously.
Personally I need 110p to breath again so banking on a white knight from left of field.
Yes I agree with that, if you look at the share price recovery of BT and Vodafone since then, I think Talktalk would be round £1.30, but this low ball offer held the share price back.
Also I don't think there is any need to sell Talktalk, the BOD should be working on reducing the debt and building share holder value who are also customers, but if they have to sell it they should be building Bridges with Vodafone who desperately need more broadband customers and are in a better position to make an offer that reflects true value and any hope of some sort of recovery to us loyal shareholders.
Cooler, ditto your sentiments - it's hard not to get emotional about some share dealing especially if you bought in as a customer too (which I did). I also feel this is a complete stitch up and hope a bidder comes out of the woodwork in the next day or so - which the city seems to think there is based on the c.3% SP premium on the offer price currently. If the general market has gone up 18% since the start of November I feel sure that TALK would now be c.£1.10-1.20 without the offer.
They've shafted the shareholders to keep jobs with the new company, this share has been manipulated to current price, my break even is £2.60, if they can't be trusted in regulated listing what credibility will they have in some private shoddy unlisted company the directors didn't fight for us and I will be unsubscribing see what happens without support of base shareholders who are also customers./
I am be wary of exchanging for equity that can not be bought and sold on the open market. I will take the cash win/loss and find somewhere else to invest it. The big question for me is when.... and will the share price rise further with speculation of a second bidder..IMHO I doubt they would meet the 115p threshold needed.
Is anyone going to take the unlisted shares? The sp is 99p surely it's a sell if the agreed is 97p
I did exactly the same as you. Nice little profit banked.
Shame not all asset managers support PIs holding funds in private entities such as the new company will be.I’ve sold due to that, 25% or so up since autumn so am OK with but I think more to go privately. Since the current price is above the offer, I guess shares are in demand or some are speculating for another bid. Anyway good luck all.
something is going on , ive sold
assume you are referring to Openreach beginning a high court action to recover millions that is owed by TalkTalk.. Never a good sign when a heavily debt laden company is being chased through the highest court in the land regardless of how they polish the statement. Alot of speculation that another equity raise or refinancing needed if the sale does not go through - similar to the infamous £200m desperate equity raise in 2018..
(if another announcement apologies)
Genuine question.
TalkTalk have the issue of having to report the first half results... already three weeks overdue as under offer - every year they come out mid Nov. The offer goes away - the need to report. They need to (properly) explain why BT are going to the High Court chasing unpaid fees. The need to (properly) explain the drop in revenue.. The Q1 excuse of Covid being the reason made no sense. They have a subscription based business with recurring revenue fees and blamed Covid for the drop in Q1..
Revenue down... COGS increasing (so they blame BT) and they try and compensate by taking some operating costs out and declare even more exceptionals.. house of cards .... All IMO
Sounds like very incompetence, how long can this bull go on legally? How hard is to terminate the talks on this let me steal from shareholders of an offer.
Another delay until the 17th! this smells like a huge stitch up by Dunstone and the family to take out the minority of shareholders cheaply...
this is dragging on now!!
To offer, or not to offer: that is the question...
We have FOUR (count 'em) investment managers all registering significant holdings today???
i sold myself too its going go one way or the other
