Poole Investments Share Discussion Threads

Any feedback from Mr Booth, Arthur?

[puffin tickler] 18/5/2007 05:59

A good sign ALS.

Of course the reason I hung on to these shares in the first place was the expectation that land values would rise substantially. Unfortunately it turnes out that the initial estimate of land value already took that into account!

Maybe the long delay will turn out to be worth it after all.

We can but dream!

[fhmktg] 15/5/2007 08:04

Go for it!

I'm thinking of calling Tony Booth to ask a few questions:

Here are some of the question i'd like answered. If anybody else has any ideas for questions they'd like answered please let me know and if they seem sensible i'll try to ask them.

1) In February's results you told us that you expected discussions to start with the council soon over the land usage mix and apportionment of regeneration costs. Have these discussions now started and when do you expect them to be finished? If they haven't started when do you expect them to start?

2) At what point will you try to realise the value in the land? Do you have any idea how long this might take? Do you have an up to date market value for the land?

3) How will the land be sold? Do you still intend to try to sell the whole company so that the tax losses can be used?

4) Can you guarantee that the land/company will be marketed to as wide an audience as possible? Will you use a reputable company unconnected to any of the directors to do this?

There's a few to be going on with. If anybody has others or thinks mine can be improved upon please let me know.

500k T trade at 3.56p. I would guess it's this one that's shifted the price today, but there could be some more to come.

Let's hope they keep on up.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 01/5/2007 12:29

Things do seem to have picked up a bit of late, let's hope that's because something is actually happening at last. I'm not going to hold my breath mind you.

[fhmktg] 01/5/2007 09:24

This is getting dizzy!

More on the move 100k switched between dealers

[hybrasil] 01/5/2007 06:57

There have been a lot of buyers at the 3.75 level over the recent past and no sellers. Unless some shares come into the market soon I cant see this share price staying at this level.
Edit
At 8.21am it was electronically 400k v 12k !

I took a trip down to Poole to see if anything was happening at the two sites under question

The tile factory is still churning out tiles and the outlet shop had no idea about closure of the plant. "Rumoured for forty years" was the reply to my queston.

Sydenhams wood business is still operating. The sheds looked like they were full of planks etc.

No signs of terminations at this stage.

Perhaps i'll give him a call, i'm back in the UK now for the first time in yonks so i'll think up some snesible questions to him.

I'd really like to see this gone soon, i'm getting increasingly worried about the property market. I hope we don't end up selling into a crash, or sitting on the land for years more until prices have recovered.

fhmktg, Sorry didn't get to Poole at all. Been ill with flu.
Will ask bro-i-law if he knows anything.

[fhmktg] 17/4/2007 12:11

Will you be calling Mr Booth, Arthur- he's usually pretty up front.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 16/4/2007 22:06

No but I got an email from the council at last. Basically said that they haven't had a planning application from PIV anf that if I wanted to know more I should contact their advisors.

[fhmktg] 16/4/2007 19:51

Anybody take a look at the site over Easter?

[hybrasil] 13/4/2007 08:45

Yes I saw the trade - It could on the other hand have been a mm buying in as they were very short of stock

[arthur_lame_stocks] 13/4/2007 07:35

It looks like somebody bought 750k yesterday, there are signs of life here at last. Surely the price will have to start moving soon too.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 06/4/2007 14:07

Don´t know really John, If you´re in the area I suppose you could have a look to see whether the wood yard is still running. That would clear that up once and for all.

[steven98] 05/4/2007 18:30

i live in bournemouth which not very far from poole :)

[uncle john] 05/4/2007 14:54

Do we not have any local residents to post relevant info/changes.
I will be visiting family in Dorset over the weekend will try and sneak off to Poole. Is there anything in particular to look at? Any specific details?

Anyone going that way for Easter could take a look from the old bridge.

[actonman] 04/4/2007 18:29

arthur, steelwatch

Thanks for info re current land use. I too had thought the timber yard had closed.

Nice to see the buying and the tick up.

[milacs] 04/4/2007 16:05

Another 3p and I'll be breaking even!!

[fhmktg] 04/4/2007 14:57

Amen to that!
Fourteenth highest % riser so far, today.
Exciting isn't it!

[brendog] 04/4/2007 14:56

Please be the start of the end -
