"Look carefully behind the Isa selling blitz
By Kate Burgess
Published: January 23 2004 12:00

The adverts are being pasted up already and the worthy little booklets are appearing with the message: "Don't miss out on your ISA allowance".

Fund managers are pulling out all the stops to avoid another poor season for sales of individual savings accounts.

One company is budgeting for a 20 per cent increase in marketing spending, others are offering discounts to investors, or raising commissions to financial advisers to encourage them to push Isas to their clients.

results in two weeks or so as i said think results will suprise

[thinkbig?] 23/1/2004 10:56

well another good buy today 100,000 looks like people in the know of the company are buying lots daily as not to bring attention to the share

[latifs100] 23/1/2004 10:30

crafty mms, they report buys and sells after a very very long time.

[badabing2004] 23/1/2004 10:25

or all the waay back down again....look at the chart...I admit I am bit bitter with this having bought in on previous rises only to see MMs drop it like a stone on no news or volumes and subsequently sold....good luck and if it holds you may well make some money in due course....

[kitkat] 23/1/2004 10:19

got a good feeling about this one
next spike up should take it to 10p

[thinkbig?] 22/1/2004 13:40

delayed buys starting to come through now

[thinkbig?] 22/1/2004 12:44

4p gone looking at this buying in the back ground agian getting ready for the next move up,i did say before this is well undervalued plus forgot to say there debt has been reduced as well they have been paying the banks on time so things in this company are starting to come together

[latifs100] 22/1/2004 12:40

last chance, 4p , was it the BOTTOM?

[thinkbig?] 22/1/2004 12:01

Had another chat with CEO and asked how things are going he said he carnt say much as they are now in a closed period and all will be revealed in their next results asked can he confirm that results will still be in the first weeks of Feb.

He said yes would only say things are on track, did say business had picked up in the last few months as more people are investing in the stock market, like I said before they are making a profit now and with things picking up they could surprise with results and show a bigger profit than expected of them they are in a growing market area now as more people return to the stock market, plus chart is starting to look good as well bottom seams to be 4p so that's it for now. Buy or Hold for results you could make some good money on this one it moves very quickly. Regards thinkBIG?

[badabing2004] 22/1/2004 11:33

What makes you say that ?

[latifs100] 22/1/2004 10:12

the action has started, let the delayed buys come in, get in now.

[badabing2004] 19/1/2004 08:39

MMs still screwing this one down even tighter...all very predictable and all so cynical...now 4p to sell -5% this morning....

[badabing2004] 15/1/2004 15:21

Looks more like they are cutting off the lower branches to me....leaving you stuck with nowhere to go until they put up the ladder for you again so can can get out.....

[parvez] 15/1/2004 15:04

It called shaking the tree !!

[badabing2004] 15/1/2004 11:16

MMs seem to be winning again with this one.....

[grigor] 14/1/2004 18:20

Hi y'all

Most media companies have dodgy balance sheets and Charterhouse Communications is certainly in a bad way. The fixed assets are almost entirely intangible and the gearing is high (September 2003: Shareholders' Funds £2.356m v Net Liabilities £7.661m).



However, the value of the intangible assets (the magazines) is difficult to assess and varies with the business cycle (look at the 5 year share graph!). The value may not be accurately reflected in the current balance sheet.

This is a risky investment but is potentially very rewarding.

Hi Safman,

I do think you mean well and are at least giving facts and your opinion. I really do hope that you're right, there is nothing I would like to see more than Charterhouse return to its former glories!!

I too would expect an impressive statement from Charterhouse next month, cost reductions and a bull market should have ensured they've had an excellent start to their financial year.

However I think that after amortisation is taken off EPS will still be negative. I think that for the time being Charterhouse will stick to the winning titles that is publishes and pay off the debt, this will see it recover.

I would hope to see 10p by the end of the year for Charterhouse personally.

Best Wishes,

Mr K
