O i agree with yur thinking Praps...its just that i had a short term target and it was met..sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't...will certainly keep an eye on them

Yep saw that, well done nice profit I assume:) Smoking jacket ON. Dust off the Havana cabinet.

I can see the appeal but am psychologically wedded to the track the arbitrager model will wait to see how or when they exit. I know it doesnt always work. Also find it difficult to sell anything that isnt obviously over valued.

[praipus] 11/2/2013 14:07

[praipus] 11/2/2013 13:10

Anyone in MVI too? :)

Sorry to hear that, but at least you are listening to the voices in your head stopping you going gung-ho in for more.

LOL the ES story - shows how under-researched MMP is if a newspaper's business section is mixing up two listed entities with the same first word... Hopefully there's more ground to gain in the weeks ahead, as indeed Mark Slater bought in for.

I bottled it strolling! Curses!!

Hard to know if there's anything concrete behind the rise or just some nosey buying on the Slater purchase. It got a mention in the Evening Standard, but it then spoilt it by linking it with the other Marwyn, saying it had a stake in ETO.

Hope no-one talked you out of a top-up, eburne!

[eburne1960] 30/1/2013 17:45

Somebody please talk me out of topping up on these.....

I like the Slaters too, read all their books (well Dad's anyway)even his first "Return to Go" is a classic and highly informative of business management, the human condition, as well as investment.

[strollingmolby] 25/1/2013 12:43

Yes, dodgy date there! MMP sold to Gauselmann last year so only have two investments currently, per the November IMS.

Looks very interesting at these levels, especially with Slater's holding.

[praipus] 25/1/2013 12:31

Looks like it.

I find it psychologically difficult to write off anything that hasnt worked but adopting the "some you win and some you lose" approach helps either cut the loss or only invest an amount I can afford to lose or hold indefinitely (providing upside fat tail possibilities).

Slaters would take a large hit too IF they sold now. Could be useful from a tax perspective.

I'm beginning to see the MMP's benefits "luxury brands"..Silvercloud contrasted with Basic but growing "utility like" Bus/Transport business MET some potential here medium to long term IMHO.

So much for google alerts.Is this old news? I can't remember seeing it before but having said that I take very little notice of this one anymore as I've written my investment off.

[praipus] 25/1/2013 11:37

Hi freddie01 something wrong with the date?

Praesepe Strengthens Partnership with Gauselmann AG Subsidiary Blueprint Gaming Limited

LONDON - 26 January 2012. Marwyn Management Partners Plc, the publicly listed acquisition conglomerate, today announces that its wholly owned gaming subsidiary, Praesepe plc, has entered into a new expanded agreement with Blueprint Gaming Ltd, the UK subsidiary of the international Gauselmann Group.

The number of Gauselmann Group machines operated on the Praesepe estate will be significantly increased throughout early 2012 and will include the latest hardware developed and manufactured in Germany. The expansion will strengthen the existing partnership and enable both parties to take advantage of the recent change in regulations governing the Category B3 and Category C Gaming Machines.

Nick Harding, Chief Executive Officer of Praesepe, said: "Our philosophy has always been to work with the manufacturers to develop more exciting products for our customers in the AGCs and Bingo Clubs. In Blueprint we have found a partner that is willing and able to challenge conventional thinking and I am confident that it will be a productive and mutually beneficial relationship."

Richard Wilson, who acts for both Blueprint and the broader Gauselmann group, said: "Praesepe is one of the major success stories in UK low stake gaming. It owns iconic sites such as the Crystal Rooms in Leicester Square and Europe's biggest bingo club, the Beacon club in Cricklewood. I was encouraged by the level of enthusiasm and strategic thinking at the recent Praesepe Machine Symposium and I am confident that we will be further develop the partnership and bring some exciting new initiatives to the table."


Mark Watts, Executive Director of MMP and Chairman of Praesepe, said: "The MMP and Praesepe Boards have extensive experience of working with partners in the gaming industry. We are delighted to be working alongside such a highly respected and successful organisation as the Gauselmann Group which can bring much more than just great gaming machines to the relationship".

Slater Investments calling the bottom of the market?
Increasing their MMP holding to 3.98%

[pugugly] 02/1/2013 14:42

Just come by to look at this as hit an all time low to see if anything available to salvage. Very little data on web site which is (imo) one of the worst I have come across - Lousy graphics - Difficult to follow -



Conclusion - Very much a back burner job -

Anyone think it might be worth an investment (if so why?)

[freddie01] 02/1/2013 12:58

How much lower is this dog going to drop?
