No one commenting about the AGM?
All resolutions passed. So de-listing to go ahead.
The one remaining profitable part of the business to go it alone, as an unlisted company. One might value this optimistically at £1m - (very optimistically though, as the working cash available to it I suspect will rely on turnover and liquidity as the line of cash from the bank looks very vulnerable indeed ) Only a fantasist would see it that way.
I doubt if the company will survive and if it does, it will hobble on for a while before it has any chance of doing well enough to consider re-listing. The best bet would be a quick takeover and anything over £500k would be a surprise to me. So at best, the stock just might eventually be worth double where AQL is now.
So you want to sell your shares? Do it quickly or there will be nothing to sell. Just hope for all your sakes that I am proven wrong but the momentum is hardly with being bullish.

This is by no means cut and dried...after speaking to the nomad today....AQL have posted this it was not on their web site before..

Only 5 major shareholders...Joe public has nearly 54%... get half of them voting there is no cancellation...there is also no guarantees that the 5 major holders above will vote in favour.

Thanks knowing !

Have you noticed Cmx, i dont have a position because as normal advfn's
market cap was miles under the real figure.

But according to a more knowledgable poster on the stock, market cap+
debt = 20 million.

Sounds a lot for a 0.5p share, dont have a business but here is the gem,
they own 20% of SIS, the old horse racing provider and they've just announced
a progressive dividend policy where half the profits will be paid out in dividends, it's almost 2 million a year knowing, they've just announced
profits of over 16 million on the Cmx news, so what price would you put on
that stake, valued it at 10 times their earnings and that's 160 million or
32 million for a 20% stake.

See the value but here is the problem, they might not sell it, they might just
keep the stake and use these huge dividends to pay down debt, in a few years
they will be debt free or maybe they will get 40 million for their SIS stake
or even more out of the blue.

I cant buy and hold that long so i watch but i think you might be interested,
there seems to be a big overhang so watch for a bad day and then maybe make
your move.

Well firstly you dont want it to drop because you bought 15k late
on today.

Matey i have posted on internet share bulletin boards for approx 10
years now, i can right a book on poster psychology !

It's just so easy to watch how a new poster writes and you quickly build
up a picture of how they operate.

As for you Power Talker it's been a lot easier than some !

Firstly you are a very short term trader, you claim to be a long term
trader, you only become a long term trader if your trade does not reach
a profit quickly.

Secondly you are quite a novice, even when it's clear a stock is going
nowhere you sometimes refuse to sell because you have a paper loss.

Thirdly you are a severe pump and dumper merchant, you buy a stock and
use the bombardment method, you start a thread and then post endless
amounts of drivel but usually make sure you avoid anything negative or
important like losses, debts and recent dilution.

Fourthly you have a blatant compulsive internet lying disorder.

This is where you know the truth but refuse to post it, you cannot bring
yourself to post anything honest, your mission is to fool the reader by
constantly posting lies hoping to suck in some buyers so you can get out
at any profit.

Your worst mistake is to go onto other threads to try and encourage other
pump and dump players (1smart/andrbea) to buy your stocks, you did this
late on today with Aql, just after you bought.

Your stance on the thread then instantly changes from serious deramping
to very positive, in the case of Aql you posted you will buy for 2p hoping
to encourage any holders to bail out but after buying back suddenly Aql is
actually a good bet.

On a fifth note for which i started the early stages of trying to report
you to the Fsa is multiple alias's, having different nicknames can be accepted,
i've had 5 in a month because you keep banning me but i'm not using these names
to ramp stocks, you have been created multiple names to create the impression
that a group of people own a stock and are extremely bullish on them when in
fact it's just one or maybe two people using more than one handle, you were
using the "Jack In The Box" handle to that effect but now since exposed you've
seen sense to stop using that name.

6. Arrogance !

Another bad habit, basically you dont care what you write, a common practice
for a pump and dumper is to take the current price and multipy it by 5 or 10
times and make that the target price, example is a share that is 1.5p, you will
be quite happy with 2p but you bombard the thread with 10p price targets very soon to create the false impression the stock is a bargain and hopefully suck
buyers in to move the price up so you can sell.

I can add plenty more if you wish.

out and dont hold ?

Power Talker - 15 Aug'07 - 16:16 - 389 of 391

Posted at 15/8/2007 18:36 by power talker
Any one holding or taking a position here good luck...I dont hold but am watching carefully....I want my money back....AQL owe me:)

Check the Abh thread.

Power Talker is ramping Aql there so he has bought back.

Expect some serious ramping from him.

Even if they get 75% of shareholder approval it does not mean the LSE will allow them to delist. As far as I am concerned this is a fast growing insurance related repair company. They are firing on all cylinders. The directors well I shouldn't even use the term directors I should say the private equity funders would love to take AQL private. Come on VPV lent them £1.5 million in June, what for???.

Aviva reported interims today. The flood damage has cost them £235 million. All good news for companies like AQL.

The lower the stock goes the more you pick-up AND WAIT!!.

Here's some research I have put together.
I am no expert so please feel free to correct / add to what I have found.

Jun 06 AQL buys ITS for 1.5m
Dec 06 AQL raises 2.6m on refinancing
Dec 06 AQL sells AMS for 1.275m
Jun07 VPV gives 12 month 1.5m loan

VPV is described as a 'substantial' shareholder.

Other shareholders include:
Calculus 7.1%
Singer and Freelander 11.1%
Noble Fund Managers 17.46%

I don't know how significant this is, but Noble Fund Managers are part of Noble and Company - AQL's Nominated Advisor!!!

Private shareholders are more difficult to pin down, details were given in the results, but this was well before the consolidation and may well be way out of date.

It was stated that AIRS had broken even after only 1 year - and this was before the extra business generated by the floods and referrals

Even though there are debts to be considered, the sale of ITS and the success of AIRS means that there is plenty of money sloshing around somewhere.

I was pleased when I started reading the latest announcement, but was flattened by the last paragraph which stated that the board is considering de-listing because of the cost of maintaining an AIM listing. In my opinion, this excuse is a heap of shogsdit! There is something else behind it, and whatever it is we can all be sure that we, the private investors, are the ones that are going to lose!

Would the NOMAD advise this whilst sitting on 17.46% of the shares?
Would the institutions who invested last Dec support this?

There is to be a statement later, but could all out there more knowledgeable than I please speculate as to what is going on.

Every time I have dropped off a sinking ship (with one exception) over the last five years the share price has continued to drop.
In quite a few instances the drop has been horrible leaving the share price a fraction of when I bailed out. I have a separate portfolio of those I sold and the the losses on that portfolio are horrendous - they encapsulate ove 40 stocks, some I made big money on before selling or top slicing but just as many were shares that suddenly announced a profits warning or a drop in profits taking them into loss situations.
The problem is with all of us that you get attached to a stock. You get to know it inside out, get to know the directors and to expect NMSs at certain times of year.
The big mistake is to stick with this familiarity for the sake of it - like an old friend who has suddenly changed into an unpleasant version of his former self.
I do understand the attraction of AQL to those of you holding it but things remain as they were over the last two to three years and I must agree with the BIGFELLA on this occason.
I really do hope that I am wrong for all of your sakes but it is interesting that having sold AQL mid afternoon and putting the cash in GNG I have already gained as much as in any period for many months with AQL as my sell-buy coincided with a continued rise in the GNG share price.
Remember what happens to AQL is irrelevent if the replacement investment does better.

Sorry to jump ship!
