Cable and Wireless
Article Abstract:
Cable and Wireless stocks are not valued as much as their underlying worth. The company has been affected by instability in far east Asian markets, but Cable and Wireless has a strong position in Hong Kong and could be a desirable partner or bid target. The major telecoms companies tend to lack a strong presence in Asian markets which is where Cable and Wireless has strength. The company's profit is forecast at 1.5 billion pounds sterling for 1998 and 1.7 billion pounds for the following year by Merrill Lynch.

Life Numbers: 07000 for life
Article Abstract:
Life Numbers sells personal phone numbers which are useful for large companies and people who travel. Personal numbers can be retained by insurance companies making it more difficult for employees who leave to take clients with them. Life Numbers has raised 600,000 pounds sterling and is taking on 40 salesmen to penetrate the corporate market. The company may be faced with competition from Dixons which is reportedly planning to offer personal numbers at a cheaper price.
