From "The Times" today:

"After the suspension was lifted on trading Ducat Ventures shares, they were marked 28.6 per cent lower to 0.05p. The cash shell is buying OptiBiotix, a food sciences business, for £2 million in shares. Ducat raised £3.3 million to develop a sugar that cannot be digested, which it believes can tackle obesity."


At just 0.05p this looks pretty interesting in my opinion.


Compare to £1Billion cap. stevia company PURE (PureCircle).

Stevia is promoted as a healthy (low calorie) alternative to sugar ... but leaves a liquorice-like aftertaste.

Traders getting burnt here?

very disappointting: and so much for him looking out for private shareholders interests:

I agree AIM is not perfect and to me the most important point is that Private Investors should get the same amount of information and briefings as institutional shareholders, the areas I would improve are the following:
1. If a Company has an institutional road show total transparency should be made available via that company's website the day of the meetings either by webcam / presentation or the brokers notes
2. Brokers notes should be readily available to all shareholders and prospective shareholders, the FCA have this rule about whether or not you are a professional investor or a private client investor and such certain research is not allowed to be published on a company's website, this is ridiculous if it has a health warning on it and non-recourse (buyer beware) why shouldn't this be available to all ? This is not just AIM but the whole market and the current rules. I feel sorry for private investors my analogy you invest in a business yet you are restricted on the published information which professionals have !! my analogy of this is that it is liking buying a first class ticket yet travelling economy !!
3. Regarding Placing's often the private shareholder is completely left out in the cold and its your company ! Any Placing's should have an element of an Open Offer or Rights attached – this has to be improved



note this 3rd comment...


so - consolidation of 200 : 1 shares.

from what i can work out, given the new shareprice he's talking about, that basically halves the value of our current investments in ducat, doesn't it?

directly flies in the face of his 3rd comment above....

DUC

you can check out their acquisition here



I like the way they start by talking about the '$115m' project ( they hint at involvement although I suspect they are hardly involved if at all in the main project)

Old Tops would have been quite proud of that sort of 'promotion'

500M PROFIT EXPECTED

[encarter] 18/7/2014 08:16

2 years 4 months, £500m.

[still waiting] 18/7/2014 08:12

how long had this company been set up? what profits are expected?

[encarter] 18/7/2014 08:07

Why disappointing? It's exciting! Have you read what they're into? and they raised £3.3m, amazing in this market imho.

[someuwin] 18/7/2014 07:54

Disappointing.

[encarter] 18/7/2014 07:52

The .07p was a surge before suspension, the deal was agreed before then when the share price was .04p.

[goodbloke1] 18/7/2014 07:52

What is new symbol for DUC?

[maytrees] 18/7/2014 07:34

Good morning

The share price at the suspension was 0.07p

consolidation presumably means: 200 X 0.07 = 14p

The new shares are being issued at 8p

Confusing to me at least.

[encarter] 18/7/2014 00:09

Indeed, exciting time ahead.
Off topic, have a look at CFU but as always DYOR.
