Now we perhaps know why the management walked.

In my opinion, it seems just too coincidental for there not to be a link.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Bentley can't lose. They bolster the price or stand a chance of picking up INSC cheap. I will vote yes just to do my part to set the cat amongst the pigeons.

Could do with a counter offer to establsh a fair value?

[shaka198] 15/6/2015 13:20

Not so sure with management option incentives at 60p?

[technofiend] 15/6/2015 12:52

Does anyone think this offer offers good value?

[shaka198] 12/6/2015 20:18

Some sizeable trades been going through without any significant price movements, interesting?

Dividends attract investors and Ultimate knew this, and were growing well, even before Renovo decided they would add value. So maybe we have a good team within that is ready to step up to get us back on the good tracks.
I'm quite glad that the FD who oversaw the iffy growth at Renovo (and chose not to give a full report on the whereabouts of the IP they spent £millions on and patted themselves on their backs, with much fetting and peer plaudits into the bargain) is off to do what he does well, elsewhere.
I'm also confident we will find replacements, because there are many who do understand good banking who can do the job very well. Just need to ensure that there are secure rules (and auditors) in place to ensure nobody is tempted to put their hands in the till.
We are the investing risk takers at a time when good everything is regarded as bad, and bad everything is regarded as good. Surely we can find the good brokers, at a huge saving.

Thanks.

I send you a virtual hand-shake.

Agree, that is where the money is and the market you have to appeal to.

[quepassa] 03/6/2015 10:02

your response just about says it all!!

heard of the new pension reforms/ sipp's and people building up their own savings/investment portfolios instead of company pensions?

that's where the real weight of future money is/will be.

the share soc is a good idea but it's so backward-looking as to be out-of-touch and trying to serve the older generations who already have some wealth not the new generations who are building their investments/pensions/ wealth.

the government pension reforms and the enormous changes that brings for new generations of investors is the question/challenge of the day.

No point in having good ideas if you haven't got any dosh.

[quepassa] 03/6/2015 09:29

Nonsense.

You need to look where the weight of the investing money WILL BE.....

a bunch of bald-headed senior men won't work and is fundamentally flawed as it is backwards-looking and out-of-touch with modern movements in investing. they are promoting yesterday's ideas not tomorrow's ideas.

You have to look where the weight of investing money is before being too critical and what will influence them to invest?

[quepassa] 03/6/2015 09:08

you too, kid.

This is how the Share Soc describes ADVFN on the Share Soc website:-


" ADVFN - similar to the above (Digital Look) but more garish, plus active bulletin boards."



I don't think ADVFN is garish. I think it's brilliant. The best.

Using the word garish to describe highly-respected ADVFN - just about says everything about the superannuation of certain Directors of the Board of The Share Soc. - They are just completely out of touch with younger generations of investors .

Looking at various pictures on their web-site of past seminars which they ran, the audience looks more like an outing for senior citizens rather than representative of a cross-section of the investment communities.


ALL IMO. DYOR.

same old, same old.

The Share Soc give investors little for free but are quite happy to free-load off the free services of ADVFN to promote their seminars which they charge for.


ALL IMO. DYOR.

We are holding one of our popular Investor Masterclasses in Manchester so local investors and shareholders in INSC may be interested in attending as INSC is based nearby our venue...

[quepassa] 26/5/2015 10:07

Yes. But the great hope was that the new management- who just quit- were going to bring a real new dynamism to the company given their backgrounds.

If you think that the holy corporate trinity of the CEO, Chairman and FD all quitting is a just storm in a teacup, I ask myself what the regulators think who are considering the application for a Bank License. - And ask yourself how their lending partners will view the recent developments.

Good luck.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Most of the value was from UFG?
They are guiding the ship.

I think the company is to be managed in a way that would be less rewarding to upper management they they would have liked so they got out of the way. This may have been driven by the major shareholders (also to our benefit) and may be no bad thing in the long run.

Look what the management that have left had as skin in the game - PENNIES.

Major shareholders have more reason to want a share price pay back, not high salaries. That lines up with what we want too.

Storm in a tea cup imho.

[quepassa] 26/5/2015 06:48

In any scenario, it likely points in my opinion to an unhappy ship.

That does not in my experience make for good or safe or predictable sailing.

Personally, i am astonished that the IC seemingly remains positive - at least for the time being- on a company with no permanent CEO, no permanent Chairman and no permanent FD.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

well it must have been a rift vs major shareholders as I can't see both top people going from a normal sort of director dispute.

[dendria] 25/5/2015 11:18

Simon Thompson has updated his view on INSC in IC (19 May 15). Suggests 'a boardroom rift' but finishes with 'Inspired has a strong management team below board level, and there is every reason to expect the positive trading trends to continue.'

good on him.
putting money where it matters.
some leadership.
