IAPR, "InvestorEase" That's a blast from the past mate, I used to subscribe to IE's about 15 - 20 years ago. I thought that they had gone out of business?

Thanks mate, no need for a trial. Guilty verdict. Lol

If you don't mind me saying Fleccy, these discussion boards have some very knowledgeable posters like your good self. After separating the wheat from the chaff, you can pick up/learn some very good knowledge form people like you who are kind enough to share your knowledge/experience of the telecoms industry, that you have worked in regarding your job/career. While I purchased BT on my own judgment before ever reading your comments, I must admit that reading your comments gave me confidence at a very low point when the BT share price was down at 90p, to hold my nerve and that the recovery will come. I'm now thankfully back in to a profit with a lot of potential upside to come. I regard my judgement to purchase BT was the right call, but in hindsight I could have bought at a lower share price, but we can all say the same thing with one investment or another. Cheers mate.

Yes I know 5eights, just pointing the obvious out.

Buys 9.1M............ Sells 750K ...............Shares marked down by 1.35p.

Hi Davielad, I would have guessed at either Scottish or a scouser mate.

Good comments Casa,

If media reports are to be believed Drahi was interested in OpenReach at a price of £20BN but was knocked back, so the next best thing for now at least was to buy 12.1%, or options to acquire this stake. Could Drahi's intentions still be to purchase OpenReach at a later date? Also, why didn't Drahi act when the share price was on it's knees at 100p, why wait for the share price to almost double before he made his move?

Hi Velo,

I agree with all your comments below mate.

Yes going back to our conversation on 6th June, I don't think anyone could have predicted a BT share price of 200p 10 days later. BT had already had a good run up and without news of Drahi's purchases I don't think we would be where we are today, closing at 200.20p but I will take that. Yes it was fairly obvious that Drahi hadn't acquired his 12.1% holing over two days, if he had the share price would have sky rocketed.

I read an article that claimed that Drahi always takes control of all his shareholdings. So I guess the million Dollar question is will he take over BT at some point in the future? Will he increase his shareholding further with intentions of bidding once his 6 month period is up? Interesting times ahead for BT shareholders.

Yes agreed Doug, good if all the home nations qualify for the knockout stages. Although, I don't fancy Scotland's chances.

6th June Velo.... "I expect decent progress in the last 3 months of this year; not spectacular, but steady. Worse case scenario over summer? = Hold."

Hi Velo, while I always respect your comments and opinions. I feel very bullish about BT short-term and long-term. I think that BT will be 200p plus by end of summer. It will be interesting to see who's right on this occasion. I wouldn't mind a pull back in the share price as I intend topping up, so I see it as a win, win situation.
----------------------------------------

Who would have thought it that the above conversation on 6th June when the BT share price was at 177p? Only 10 days later or in fact 8 trading days that we have closed at 200.20p at the first time of asking. Wow, go BT.

Agreed Carrington, the trend is your friend, the DB analyst should realise this, he's fighting a losing battle, the more time that he defends his opinion the higher the BT share price goes, the more ridiculous his 140p price target will look. More chance of us seeing 300p than 140p. IMO.

You may well be right Rock. In the USA they need to disclose shareholdings above 10%, so in reality they could hold 4.99% in the UK and 9.99% in the USA without having to disclose. I believe if LG wanted ITV they would have made a bid by now. Yes we are only speculating, of cause there may be nothing in it.

Rock, I think that Liberty are likely to be holding out for an ITV predator to off load to. With the recent high volume of shares traded over the pond, I'm thinking that the potential bidder will be from the USA. Knowing John Malone he will want a good price for his 9.9% holding.

200p beckons.

ADR's opened up 4.02%.

Michaeir ......"Can you provide any figures to justify £5 or why OR alone is worth £30Bn? Thanks."

Only going by what the media have reported regarding the potential Openreach valuation, it ranges from £15B to £30B.

Yes I'm sure all the ADR volume isn't worth reporting? PMSL

Ask yourself what follows very unusual high volume of shares traded?
