Indeed. I was not really having a pop at his stock but just recognised a user name belonging to someone in the business community who has quite a record for misleading investors on several fronts.

Anything he says should be disregarded.

Good luck with this anyway.

I suppose in the absence of an answer as to how a fellow director could have been unaware of what was going on - perhaps this post made by Ex Ceo Simon Littlewood (who by then had run off with the loot)might provide a clue?

winterfun - 30 May'08 - 01:29 - 8704 of 8797

the company is run by someone in Cornwall (their new global HQ!) who seems to have no experience in China, private equity, fund managment, banking, or anything else relevant to what LDC is supposed to be doing. They've announced the closure of their offices in China, so presumably the staff that had any idea of how to run the business have disappeared, so who is going to manage their
assets and generate any income?

No surprise people heading for the exit. What institutional investor
is going to back this?

Well, I guess obtaining any coherant response to concerns about the past AIM companies you have been involved with will be as elusive as ever. Commodity Growth disappeared without a trace and then of course the dynamite revelations at London Asia Capital. These disastrous events must have been disappointing considering your previous involvement with various investor action groups?

Or was your involvement with RSV just an attempt to claim compensation to which you were not entitled to - after making a bad investment decision?

Perhaps you could comment on just one aspect of the findings into the goings on at LAC as these findings have always intrigued me. How could something of this signficance not be picked up until some years later? I guess what I am saying is how did you miss this when you were a director of AIM listed LAC in the years following this transaction?

By the way, where is the 6 million dollar man these days?


6.3 Loan of $5 Million Written Off
Our investigations have uncovered that on 7th September 2005, LAC plc sent $5 million to Nourican Adriatic d.o.o., in Zagreb, Croatia. The transfer document was signed by Mr Simon Littlewood. A signed contract confirms that the loan was to have been secured by a pledge over 25,000 shares in Industrogradnja d.d., but no signed guarantee or pledge has been traced.

The purpose of the loan was to help Nourican Adriatic d.o.o. provide evidence to the Croatian Stock Exchange (Zagrebaka Burza) that cash needed for a bid to be made by two Croatian companies for Industrogradnja was available. LAC was to receive a fee of US$ 1 million for this loan.

The bid for Industrogradnja was launched on 11th November 2005 at a share price of 650 Kuna at a discount to its market price of 810 Kuna. As a result, only 2,640 shares were tendered for at a total cost of $273,244. It appears that the $5 million loan provided by LAC was not used for the bid and should have been returned to LAC in January 2006, together with the $1 million fee.
We can find no evidence that this sum reached LAC, nor is there documentary evidence to show that steps were taken through the courts in any country to recover this money.

The transaction was managed by Mr Simon Littlewood, who has since commented that the “Croatian Mafia” has the outstanding $6 million belonging to LAC shareholders

Agree - amazing how much you learn from buying and selling these stocks. I think to some extent we are spoiled for choice on opportunities and the temptation is to buy a number of stocks and wait for them to recover. The problem with that is if the market has a bad run you can lose more and your money is tied up.

Nowadays I try to keep a minimum of 30% in cash to take advantage of trading opportunities and generally I am doing O.K. At present in the market there scores of companies with market caps of between 1m and 4m and it is hard to see much more downside. If you believe that at some point most will spike up (which they will at some point) you can make some money. Whether they eventually go bust in 3 to 5 years is not a concern and it is this that derampers harp on about - but they fail to appreciate that not everyone is a long term investor.

I also am less selective on stocks I trade as you see some real rubbish move up by 100% or more a day. Or you see widely followed but speculative stocks such as SOLG bounce regularly from 8p to 13p. TLY was a bit like that and easy to trade despite the wider spread as the share price consistently operated between 1.1p (buy price) and 1.6p (sell price) for a long time until it broke out of this range.

If you see any good opportunities I might be interested in let me know. In the meantime I will continue to follow this one.

I have been reading the exchanges above and I think you are quite right. It is far better to have a positive outlook in life and in investing. Being too optimistic and trusting might bring you the odd loser but overall such an outlook helps one see more opportunities.

I think many people have lost sight of what these bulletin boards are for. Rather than come along and politely disagree or correct anything you say, there is the usual aggressiveness and personal attacks and of course the negativity. Obviously he is deramper who trudges around looking for bombed out stocks and then attacks the balance sheet or business model. I note STY has multi bagged x 6 recently after years of deramping them over preferance shares. I held for some of the gains there. Once again I will say that BB may be right on some of his observations but these are not relevant for the majority of swing traders and investors and he is best ignored as a potential danger to wealth.

On that note I would also say that I would not invest in this stock (I might trade it short term) Some of the folks backing this are not best known for good investment decisions and having a successful track record in management. In fact everything I have known them touch has resulted in disaster so I think not one for the long term story IMO. This is the type of busines that you could wake up one day and it has just disappeared like a spate of others a few years ago.

Always remember PAA when a Chinese investor paid 33p when the shareprice was 9p
the price doubled that day to 18p bid and that is high as it got, before the consolidation it was around 5.5p bid so a lesson to be learned here is these large premium buyers do not guarantee success with the company.

Ryan83, yes so have I. Have a feeling the share price will get back to the 6p level before the end of this month. Re posts above I tend to think positively "if a share is at a low will it stay this low? it doesn't have to go back up to previous levels for an investor to make a profit if you buy near or at the low point" gl

Some selling pressure effecting the price this morning, first a 20,000 sale @ 17p on plus then 20,000 @ 15.25p. This after the 100,000 sell last week could mean one large seller in the background, lets hope they are finished soon.

At least this will give a good entry price for new investors, who want to invest after the latest tips.

I see someone took atvantage of the low price today @ 18p, I would be temted to add myself if they got their act together, and advised on the website of future result dates. Some trading updates would good also.

I happen to expect results to be good and that these are undervalued, I just wish they would give a better service to investors.

I noticed that MLO are in advanced talks re a takeover offer they have recieved, which shows how much value and undervalued companies are out there. With the weak pound we will see many more takeovers announced.

As well as aec I think cll, chns, gng, itk, jdg, which I hold and many more are in the same position.
