Posted at 12/12/2014 07:57 by bubble pricker J777J, you are clueless. Why would Griffiths invest at a much higher price to see his investment collapse in value, so he can end up with a cash shell? If that was his goal, he could have simply set up a cash shell on his own or bought one.It is funny how people, instead of realising the error of their ways, keep going on about other irrelevant matters and blaming third parties for their losses. They also keep going on and on about their beloved stock, no doubt J777J is still holding his position, until the bitter end. Let me give you a new prediction: CUP, under its new guise of an "investment" company will whittle away all its cash on director's emoluments, consultancy fees and bad investments until nothing is left. You can still save what you have left now. J777J was trumpeting the business prospects of Cupid. He was trumpeting that the market cap, at around 70p, was less than cash plus expected deferred payments. I and others explained a hundred times that is not the way you value a business, and that in any case the deferred payments will not materialise. When the share price failed to rise, J777J blamed shorters, instead of realising that there might be something wrong with the future prospects of the business. The regrettable thing in this whole story is that my short was forced closed last year due to lack of available borrow. I took a small profit, but I missed out on the massive drop, so my only gratification is being vindicated. |
Posted at 11/12/2014 08:02 by bubble pricker J777J, you are an utter fool. I told you over one year ago, the deferred consideration will not materialise. I told you CUP have declining revenues and no business prospects. I hope you lost a good amount of money here to teach you a lesson. |

Posted at 10/4/2013 15:33 by andy0000 LIBC noteCupid is a top 5 global online dating company with a strong balance sheet (£9m net cash), an experienced management team and strong current trading (Sales +20% YTD). The shares have fallen 58% year to date due to negative unsubstantiated rumours. We view this as amor attractive entry point that ever before! A year ago, we wrote in Ad Lib that "the market's got more love to give to this small cap stock". We reiterate our positive stance and see 100% shortterm upside. BUY Negative news-flow... Cupid's websites allow consumers to register for free but they must pay to reply to messages. Recent speculation by the BBC, compounded by Bronte Capital's blog, suggested that Cupid set up fake user profiles to entice prospective customers, and led to the shares falling to as low as 49p this year. ...has been given the cold shoulder Cupid released a robust statement on 25th March "strongly [refuting]" claims that the company's procedures or practices were "flawed, inappropriate or illegal". Cupid stated that it "does not employ members of staff to create fake profiles, impersonate users or use any other dubious practice to encourage customers to take out subscriptions or in order to retain existing customers, nor would the company condone, promote or persuade employees to do so". On Monday 8th April, Bronte Capital removed their blog on Cupid and apologised for "factual inaccuracies contained with those blogs". Cupid are addressing the issues Cupid are addressing 2 key issues. Firstly by the end of June, Cupid will publish a third party audit of the business which is currently being undertaken to address the aforementioned operational accusations. We see this as a key catalyst and believe it will ease market concerns. Secondly, Cupid are placing a greater emphasis than ever before on reducing the number of 'scammers' on their websites. Strong current trading is being ignored The market has been focusing on accusations and is missing the point that sales are up 20% YTD, ahead of consensus, and trading has not been impacted by the recent news-flow. Structural growth remains Greencrest Capital estimate that the European and North American online dating markets are worth £2bn. The previously associated social stigma around online dating has evaporated and technological changes (higher mobile and internet penetration rates) coupled with greater interest in online social discovery means Cupid are a leading presence in a growing market. We believe that Cupid's diverse user base (multiple strong core brands), its proven technology platform, its existing infrastructure and its scale should enable it to continue outgrow the market. Cheap date! Despite net cash of £9m, strong current trading, a robust rebuttal of recent negative news-flow and an attractive 4.6% dividend yield, Cupid trades on just 4.5x FY13 P/E and EV/EBITDA of 2.7x vs. an average of 13.3x and 8.7x respectively since IPO in 2010. There has been a downgrade this year however this was due to higher than anticipated marketing spend rather than any change in the underlying trading performance. In the short-term, if we assume Cupid re-rates to 9.3x fwd P/E (a 30% discount to the 5 year average multiple) there is c. 100% upside. BUY |
