Future Share Discussion Threads

The sentiment on AIM is pretty horrendous. Look at the other diverse media companies - like YOU(Gov), TMN, DIGI, RNOW etc - all down by similar levels in that time.

Alternatively, you could suggest that there's a correction coming for FUTR... unless there's some knowledge in the market leading to this share price.

I didn't mean to sound overly harsh, but I don't see the point in banging on about losses. Just sell - blind faith that a share is going to come back when it's this turbulent, while complaining, is utterly hopeless. Alternatively, buy more and average down!

Hmmm - a little harsh there! If I lost £15K I'd want a damn good whine - and maybe this is the place for it! But, of course you're right - only invest what you can afford to lose...

I'm confused by the pretty impressive drop - so April to August it was 'stable' around 26p say, and it is now half that - on low volume and no news? Is that not fishy ?
And you can't say it's 'market sentiment' - comparing the All-share index for the last 6 months :

[psteer2] 30/10/2008 10:55

So... today you can buy these for a little over 15p - around a third of the peak value this time last year. Non-exec director Michael Penington bought 100K shares in the summer at about 25p (a paper loss of about £10K on those trades)(if he can't judge it right with these credentials : then who can !?)
I'm tempted to throw money in now - but will this drift even lower in the 4 weeks up to the results ?

I currently have a small holding of these at about 35p :-(

Not sure that the last 4 major shareholder RNS's were increases ? ShareCrazy has Templton dumping 7million and Franklin Resources dropping 23million ? But certainly Schroder added >3 million

[outsourcer] 30/10/2008 10:33

the last 4 RNS's re holdings in the company all appear to be increases in stake by the institutions, so why does the share price keep falling

[outsourcer] 27/10/2008 21:54

I am predicting that you will be incorrect once again Altube just like all your predictions have been.

[altube] 27/10/2008 17:18

I am predicting a MBO to be announced by the end of the year.

[outsourcer] 21/10/2008 16:19

Cool, see you in Cloud Cuckoo Land, I will be easy to spot as I will arrive aboard a flying pig.

[altube] 21/10/2008 15:18

see you on the 25th at 30p

[outsourcer] 21/10/2008 14:59

Altube - I have yet to see one of your predications come true and by christmas these will be in exactly the same place as they are now, if not lower - the share price is treading water and going nowhere fast.

If Schroder lifting their stake to over 16% does nothing for the price I cant see anything else moving them.

I have now lost nearly half my investment so even a takeover approach wont help me becuase no-one will pay a 100% premium to the price to get it back to the 35p that is my average.

[altube] 21/10/2008 12:16

Back in again - nothing has changed, the recession will be short, interests will be 2.5% in 6 months. There is an easy 50% return on these in the near future. 30p by xmas

[outsourcer] 17/10/2008 14:24

so Shroders buy yesterdy to take their holding over 16% and we are red today, I love the logic of the stockmarket

[outsourcer] 07/10/2008 13:28

at least someone has Altube

[altube] 07/10/2008 12:19

Sold out for the time being made a good profit on the way back.

Looks like some sanity has returned after the positive trading update. 30p is going to be a tough nut to crack, though.

[outsourcer] 03/10/2008 12:32

if we are not careful, we may have a full week where the price has risen every day

[outsourcer] 24/9/2008 12:40

I have held these now for nearly 4 years my original shares cost 90pps and we are now at 21p, I think we can all guess where the price is going next

[altube] 24/9/2008 12:27

time will tell

[outsourcer] 24/9/2008 11:43

altube, based on what - the share price has been steadily falling since the start of the year and we are now at an all time low. No matter what trading updates/results they put out is makes no difference to the share price.

If it was worth a lot more as you say then those who know way more that us little PI's would be piling in at these levels snapping up the shares, but they dont and each fall takes us to new lows.

[altube] 24/9/2008 10:59

Not going to argue with you guys - but this company is worth a lot more

[outsourcer] 24/9/2008 10:38

because unfortunately this is all the company is worth !

[bletherer] 24/9/2008 09:55

Yes but why has the share price not moved so far today on the back of the reassuring trading update? The company just lost around 1/4 of its value, apparently for no good reason. So I'm a bit puzzled as to why no-one wants to bid it back up.
