Odd but Fleccys post on Clown and my response with crozier comment has been removed by the admins.

Can’t think why unless they are his relatives 😀

No News and continuing downward pressure I’d guess 185 for Xmas

Good to see some pushback finally.

It’s behind the paywall but free on the ISpreview website

OKay, Thanks Bidboy.

Why would people sign up for a system that can’t do voice? Possibly a just in case of emergencies thing? Not a threat to BT I wouldn’t think.

Three minutes on chat GPT says that his statements about one code and other assertions are incorrect.

I guess the techies in this group will be quick to demolish his comments.

Over the past couple of weeks price has dropped in the morning and recovered in part or wholly in the afternoon.

The volatility doesn’t make sense and is no doubt connected to the shorting activity , mystifying how the city is succeeding in gaming this like an AIM share.

Or hopefully a double bluff to lure in the shorters for a big burning in November 🤞😀

Interesting indeed, I wondered if it may be a bit of pitch rolling for bad news in November.

I know lots of people who would do the opposite of what the Telegraph recommends……….this could be an opportunity 😀

Not necessarily Fleccy ,certainly not ignoring but key words in the report are

COULD,APPEAR,POTENTIAL, MAY,POTENTIALLY,EXPECTED .

This comes from Polo Tangs employer so hardly surprising it’s negative.

BT have many cards to play that we can discuss but Bharti didn’t get to be a billionaire by allowing coordinated skunk works from his detractors to undermine his businesses at will.

He’s lost 20% of his BT investment value because of this campaign in the last few weeks in no news.Thats a cool billion pounds or so.

I hope that my confidence is well founded.

At the pace this continual drip drip drip of negativity is speeding up I guess we’ll find out soon.

It’s getting to be like looking out for Christmas or Easter or the next public holiday . Every couple of months or so we have the Punch and Judy debate “ oh yes they can,” versus “ oh no they can’t “ on the topic of bids , break up or spinoff of all or bits of BT.

We never get any new information just the same recycled opinions.

It’s always Rod, David,Jamsout or this time bidboy……….or always Rod 😀…..that starts it as he knows people will bite 🎣

Best thing is to not enter the argument as the only time anyone will be proved right or wrong will be if it actually happens or is stopped from happening.

I think we all agree.

Whether or not it’s based on decent research….

It’s timing was malicious and supports the argument that games are being played with this share.

I wonder why the regulator never investigates when there are so many suspicious patterns of events.

Snoopz, my point was really in agreement with your last sentence so that’s consensus.

I would differ with you on my reading on the Altnets gaining point though.

The New Street Research graph showing changes in subscribers from 2025 has altnets gaining 500k subscribers plus each year ( pale blue columns )and BT losing a similar amount ( mid blue columns).

Relatively because of the scale BT is the winner of course.

But we agree on the impact of the news ☹️

I expected another piece of negative press to push below 180.

Friday Telegraph had an article “ why it might be time to cancel your broadband subscription “ it says fibre is becoming obsolete as people are using alternatives like their phones . It’s complete with a graph from new street research showing BT as the big loser and altnets gaining. Coincidence??

Nothing, altnets taking revenues now and in future.

So many discussions take place about the overall performance and what could happen positively and negatively all just opinions, some based on more substance than others, but every time that particular one is repeated the price tanks.

I’m surprised that the chairman or CEO have never talked about the volatility of their stock price.

If the other side of the coin was that there was continuing growth in the number and success of the existing altnets it would be more plausible but there aren’t any queues of investors wishing to pour cash in to share in the bounty that’s to be had in taking BTs revenue away from them.

Any bets on another negative story in the coming week to push the price below 180?

It’s market manipulation in my view.

It’s always puzzling that broker downgrades hammer the stock price and broker upgrades seem to have no effect. I agree that a drop of this size should prompt some response from BT even if only a flurry of good news press releases from the PR team. More worrying would be if they’ve got no good news! There seems to some momentum in this fall .Can’t be Mittal but Slim could be moving out he’s showing as owner of around 4% so he’s going to have to declare if that goes below 3% . However wacky it makes me I’m in the school of thought that believes this share is jerked around by the market than is rational for a ftse 100 company but as the regulator is silent I’m obviously wrong .

Thanks, shame it isn’t an addition as a sign of confidence.
