Craig...have a look at wts (world trade systems) they have been dormant for ten years but have been kept alive by Chinese investors, they will relist soon and i think will go crazy. Check out the 6 months figures, amazing.

the good thing about this share is that most private investors sold out years ago...just leaves a few long termers who definitely wont sell out so continued buying should see it keep rising...only worry is the big shareholder

Stonesp2 - "To be blunt.. What has D&D got to do with the present.. Once again something from the past."

Whilst DCD appears to be concentrating on distribution now, it still has a production arm. One of the reasons that I wouldn't buy shares in this type of company for the long is that from the 'experience' of holding shares in this outfit I realised that their production assets are worthless. I'd guess DCD spent well in excess of £20m on acquisitions that never appeared to make any profit. Production companies are dependent on their key personnel and if they decide to walk then you're left with zilch. DCD bought Box-tv, Done and Dusted, Prospect Pictures, Iambic etc and all of the key personnel left leaving DCD with absolutely no return on their huge financial outlay. Just massive debts remained. What's to stop the remaining production units leaving as well? Nothing!

The other thing to bear in mind are that gross margins in production and distribution are not exactly mouth watering. Turnover needs to rise substantially to see any profit coming through.

I don't blame the current incumbents for past mistakes, but all those involved with the above mentioned production companies acted shamefully. They took shareholders money and ran so to speak.

Maybe the current incumbents will turn this around? I don't know? However, in my opinion there are so many better opportunities to buy into (mostly profitable) micro-caps with more interesting potential that I wouldn't risk my money here again.

cgod - that is what I meant by nothing teaches like experience. It doesn't mean that I'm conceited enough to think I always get it right. I don't. However, I did start my blog some years ago so that investors can make their own judgements. All I'll say is that investing in the stock market (particularly micro-caps for me personally) has been very rewarding.

Best of luck to you all and I mean that genuinely. I will watch developments here with interest.

Michael.

Last night's RNS suggests the previous holding was an error.

DCD website still showing the Old Mutual holding though...

Cannot see that any one has sold, !!!!!!!!

Significant share holding on the web site says 79% it should be 85.44%

Even less shares to trade now, will fly even faster now.


Colter Ltd 124,000 29.93
Timeweave Ltd 104,837 25.31
Henderson Global Investors Ltd 87,319 21.08
Old Mutual Plc 24,746 5.97

I've popped a coupla new links in the header - nothing new , its
mainly to see if and when the two are amalgamated , something I would have thought to be fairly urgent .

Nice to see a rise (16th on the leader board). But a 12% rise isn't much use
when the spread exceeds that .

Nice to see what I assume are mostly new investors , as we all state when we buy and sell . Wonder what alerts them to this and what bboards they use , if any ?

Anyway - I am hugely optimistic on this share , so....who fancies a little competition , which I will happily monitor ?

Maximum share price prediction during 2015 please .

I am going for £80 - yes eighty quid .

What's your prediction ?

No one has seen it "T", or looking at it, when the RNSs start to come out you will not be able to pick up any shares at this price.

I am in for the big time with this one, every one is missing whats going on, not for the short term profit, this will pay off my house and my kids homes.
In at 0.27p, 414000 shares in issue, a high of 69p, 450 million shares in issue or £690 per share.

This to me says it all.

DCD vows to keep producing

4 September, 2014 | By Matthew Campelli


DCD Media has reaffirmed its commitment to production despite agreeing to sell Glasgow-based indie Matchlight and increasing its emphasis on global distribution.


Broadcast revealed last week that the executive team at factual producer Matchlight is set to complete a management buyout, while DCD has made no secret of its plans to focus on DCD Rights.

It has led some close to the company to question whether it will continue to invest in production, but DCD chief executive David Craven said it “remains committed” to programme-making.

Craven highlighted its focus on cultivating London-based production arms September Films and Rize USA, led by head of entertainment Bob Massie and creative director Sheldon Lazarus respectively.

He claimed that production at these companies “has never been more active”, pointing to a raft of undisclosed projects that “we can reasonably expect will be greenlit”.

September Film’s revival of classic gameshow Celebrity Squares is due to TX on ITV next week, while it is expected that Rize USA’s Liberty Of London will get a second run on Channel 4.

In addition, Craven said the group would be making “more funding available for production development”, while confirming that there were 50 projects on its slate receiving “broadcaster engagement”.

He said DCD Media was “well positioned” to enhance its production output, adding: “We are continuously scouting for producers interested in developing joint venture arrangements with us, and talented, enthusiastic producers know where to look to develop their businesses.”

September Films USA suffered the loss of Bridezillas in September 2013, which led to job losses. DCD spent £100,000 on redundancies last year.

But Craven was upbeat about DCD’s US operations, adding: “In the US, we continue to develop both new ideas and our own formats with networks, which we are hopeful will bear fruit in the near future.”

Addressing the impending Matchlight sale, Craven said: “The incumbent management team are best placed to take the business forward”.

He added: “The board has clearly set out its goal to improve its quality of earnings, so while Matchlight provides revenue to the group, it does not deliver sufficient synergies within DCD Media, nor has it been profitable.”

However, he stressed that DCD and Matchlight will retain a longterm distribution relationship.

DCD’s sales arm generated total revenues of £5.8m last year, up from £4m in 2012. Production revenues fell by almost £4m to £8m in 2013.

DCD moved to reassure investors last week after its share price fell more than 60% in three months.
