CPW Buys Tiscali - That is HUGE deal for them and I think that £235M is a good price. Tiscali have been looking to offload their UK operations for ages which is very profitable BTW and they have great exposure to the full triple-play market of BB, phone and TV. As a tiscali customer I'm NOT initially happy with the deal. My parents were on TalkTalk for their phone and BB and it was aweful and other customers (as I'm IT Engineer) I've spoken to were very unhappy with TT. I've been on Tiscali for about 3 years and never had an issue and converted many people and I've had 100% success and happiness from them with great speeds. For example, my home BB is 7.8Mbps unlimited and I use it a lot so completely unlimited. Looks like I'll be moving to BE Internet now then.

SEY NEVER rise! They've had MILLIONS of buys outstripping sells and never move. They are a steady climber.

http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200904291216203694R Yes company went into administration and now been immediately sold quote: "All of the businesses were immediately sold out of administration." Wipe this one out and move on I'm afraid. Very bad day I'd say and feeling your pain.

Dont believe barchart - it's reactive NOT pro-active. It works on the rise over the past day, week, month, 3 months and bases the chart from there. The amount I've seen at a strong sell when it's mainly been buys is silly and vice versa. Check out the three top risers today: LED - http://quote.barchart.com/texsnap.asp?sym=LED.LS - This was up 90% on close IFM - http://quote.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=IFM.LS - Up 200% today with 8% buy Then check out the rating tomorrow and you'll see what I mean

what negotiated trade or research??? I'm assuming negotiated trade?

If you CAN get any shares in these you are VERY lucky. Look at the amount of dividends these guys are paying out. You could try a negotiated trade with your broker I assume. DYOR of course but some info already posted on these boards if you want to scan back might save you some time.

Check out the transaction volumes and the wide variety in prices. The system just cannot work them out and you'll probably find they'll be cancelled anyway.

You cannot buy these shares - have you tried? There are none available on the market (or VERY VERY few available) if you can get these they are like (chris)gold dust! lol As for why the rise, check out the last stream of posts on the board it was leaping around like a good un by about 20p in 10 seconds. I was on the phone to my broker and he was like - right buy is.... no its now.... no it's now... and that was in a 2mins phone call with 100% fluctuations on the sell price. I spoke to the company investment relations team last time round with the dividend of 64.9p special dividend and they said you cannot get any. Wish they'd do a rights issue!

Well actually I'm from Southampton and this is major drinking area in the South a lot of people visit weekend and there are a lot of stag and hen parties that turn up in the area. Things have definately been quietening down recently, there was a report that we have some of the highest pub closures in the UK and some 58 (or something) gone in past 2 years. Unlike Ireland, the UK is still NOT geared up for smokers, how many places still have not got proper smoking shelters, huts, heating etc. With the recessiion I agree with you that a lot more people are staying at home (although in saying that my local is rammed recently and busiest I've seen it in over two years since I've lived here but that's due to change in management, setup of smoking hut and also Southampton FC club fortunes as well as European football that's massively increased it. It depends on how good the summer is, I can see a lot more people staying in the UK and if we have good weather then I see this actually helping the pub trade as a counter-argument. My mates that work in the Weatherspoons chain in Staines have said that takings are now massively up due to other competitors folding in the high street and they offer the cheapest beer in town. I think these big chains will welcome this if they can survive through it as it will remove some competitors from the market, I think we needed this sort of consolidation really. I'm 50/50. Short term suffer but longer term increase for these

I just dont get it, did some research and they've ditched Tealeaves or whatever they are called and that was the biggest revenue generator by a mile. So they've sold them out to get a quick buck, reduce borrowings yada-yada-yada all great but where the next revenue coming from? Chinn is relatively unknown and although she has her debut albumn in the pipeline if you google here theres a couple of things on the web but not much, she's doing a few international gigs in California and recently in Australia but mainly home town in Birmingham stuff. As for the other artist signed up cant find squat on him on the web from quick research. So tell me whats the appeal then???

Sorry didn't mean to sound rude, apologies, really manic at work and lets just say the fan was at full speed. Take a look at: http://www.investegate.co.uk Great site, you'll hear a lot abour RNS announcements, these are broadcasts to the media via a wire service. This site lumps the various RNS feeds into one and lists them in chronological order, you can also search in the top by company details for a history. So what are they saying on the other boards regarding this company - there are no RNS announcements that I can see and I dont like companies that dont do regular updates. Example click this link: http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200903310700147569P Dyson are expected to make a loss for the full year although couple of days ago they disposed of their main warehouse for just over 1M to reduce borrowings. I'm also aware previously that the "Dyson Ball" hover has cost so much in development that Mr Dyson admitted that if it fails the company goes down - he's placed all his eggs in one basket. At a time of credit crunch would you spend £300+ quid on a new hoover or 100 for an equivalent to keep you going should your one break??? Just something to think about.

no I didn't - didn't have chance to do any research and dont buy in unless I can as been burnt a few times.

Hi, Jesus, this thing ticks up with EVERY buy!

No problem. GL.

to keep upto date on annoucements regularly review here: http://www.investegate.co.uk If your after a specific company then you can enter the company code "PGS" in the box on the top. GL

Basically yes that's exactly what flyfisher is saying. Interesting that this has risen today and this was known about yesterday. The board may reject the offer approach or recommend to shareholders to reject it so there is scope for movement. If directors dont really want to sell then you can expect them to increase their own stakeholding quickly to build up a block for the vote on the offer. You need to watch it closely but YES that's what it means.
