Ducat Ventures Share Discussion Threads

"The Board of Directors of Durlacher Corporation Plc notes the recent rise in
its share price and advises that it is in preliminary discussions with a third
party regarding a potential acquisition that would constitute a reverse
takeover under the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority. Talks are
progressing in good faith on both sides. However, given the early stage of
these discussions there can be no assurance that any transaction will be
completed."

Keep this DUC flying bought in on 5 Oct 04 @ 81.7p. Thought about selling this morning at £1 but got this hunch that this will go to £1.20 fairly quickly.

Good luck to all who fly with her.

Oh ye of little faith!

adho,at least mine only cost me £200, lol, back in the 0.06p days!!!!!!!!!

[adh0] 12/1/2005 14:34

lol, i will be out well before then mate. An opportunistic bid would do me just fine to be rid of this lot. Cost me £20,000 at the moment, If I get back half that I will be pleased.

Fingers crossed for some decent results / prospects at the next results and maybe the £5:60 is achievable over the coming year? Might take a couple of years for £9:50 though? Says he hopefully and assuming that DUC doesn't get taken out quickly by an opportunistic bid in the meantime.

[adh0] 11/1/2005 20:09

I need £5.60!

[wanchope] 11/1/2005 19:20

Aprox 10% of company traded today,if somebody is building stake could move fast as buying appears, with few shares available and no doubt many people locked in at much higher prices.

[michaeld] 11/1/2005 17:06

A lot of the apparent sells today would appear to actually be buys. Certainly seems to be some heavyweight action behind the scenes.

Well spotted then Partner.

[partner] 09/1/2005 19:09

Certainly appears to have attracted a little more interest of late with cantor fitzgerald declaring as well.

[partner] 07/1/2005 22:58

Goldman sachs have 1,349,114 shares {6.96 %] is this a new purchase,or were they already holders,if so is this increase or decrease ?.Thanks in advance to anybody with answer.

[michaeld] 07/1/2005 16:26

The tree shake doesn't seem to have worked unless we see some late sells, as there appears to be a lot more 'buys' today than 'sells'? If the mm's run the price up to £1:50 and then drop it back to £1:40 they might get a few more? Not mine though as there would appear to be some big buyers in the market for these and that is a good sign of future prospects imho? Time will tell.

[michaeld] 07/1/2005 10:28

The mm's have run the price down quickly on apparently few sales; shaking the tree? Looking at the trades over the past few weeks I reckon that they might actually be seriously short of stock?

[mitzis] 07/1/2005 08:57

I doubt it very much so.....

[partner] 06/1/2005 22:22

Lets hope we get a few new buyers tomorrow,having seen the link.
