Posted at 04/12/2012 18:55 by buggy Miamisteve,Unfortunately only premium members are allowed to send messages. My mobile is however xxxxxxxx. Will be able to talk anytime as I will be working from home all of this week. Let me know when you have got the number so that I will delete from the BB. Ruedolf, I am open to any ideas as it is a bit riach for them to expect investors just to write their investment off. |
Posted at 21/9/2009 16:45 by buggy Ruedolf,Accounts well overdue. It's accounts was due just before it delisted. Not sure under Italian law if the clock was restarted from the delisting date with respect to account due date. My hope is that there is a payout soon. They initially sold about 15% of Neomobile for Euro 10Mill, then they must have got a fair bit for the remainder of their holding, 65% .....(I am hoping). Maybe we will get a letter or something within the next month or so. At laest I am hoping that it pays out and they wind up the rest of the company. Without Neomobile they really do not have much else worth hanging about for. News Below on Neomobile site: ............... " BlueGem and MPS Venture are the new controlling shareholders of Neomobile Neomobile welcomes BlueGem as new key shareholder and announces an ambitious Mobile Marketing initiative Roma - September 17th, 2009.

Posted at 20/6/2006 21:31 by xenawarriorprincess I'm still watching......From Growth Company Investor Companies: TLU 01/06/2006 Italian telecom services group Teleunit has seen its share price slump by around a third since the turn of the year, weighed down by news that investment in new products and services was impinging upon profitability. Sure enough April's full year results to December were marked by profits down 400,000 at 5.2m (broker Daniel Stewart forecasts a further fall to 3.7m next year before the trend reverses) and yet there were several positives too. Revenues, for instance, increased 41% to 85.4m, while the group's fledgling mobile content services business which provides ringtones, games and screensavers increased its turnover contribution from 200,000 to 3.6m. A recent deal has seen this business expand beyond Teleunit's traditional Italian base and into Turkey, a market chief executive Francesco Cimica describes as being 'one of the fastest growing markets in Europe with the youngest population.' Progress hasn't been as smooth for all divisions, however. The group's fixed line telecoms operation has seen sales fall and prospects now seem dependent on uptake of VoIP by business and residential customers. A major investment in network infrastructure, meanwhile, looks set to be usurped by wireless WiMaX technology (for which Teleunit recently secured a test licence covering the Florence region). With profits anticipated to fall next year before rising to 6.9m in 2007, investors may experience a bumpy ride over the next 18 months. Risk takers only.

Posted at 05/4/2006 11:35 by salpara111 Well, I topped up at 14 having had a small holding since about 21 last year.I am unclear what could have gone wrong in that if there had been a material event that would have a material effect on profitability they would have been obliged to declare it as soon as it was quantifiable which usually means within a week of it happening. Clearly they may fall short of profit targets but the current price can easily support quite a decent fall in profits. It is a fact of life that when you invest in really small cap companies you have to accept that share price movements are much more dramatic and often with little basis. Private investors flock to these type of companies for that very reason, obviously hoping to catch a stock on a big upswing rather than a downleg. Two things give me relative confidence which allowed me to add to my holding. 1. the payment of a maiden dividend and 2. a small share buyback. If the company had any issues with cashflow they would never have undertaken either action as there was no market expectation to satisfy. The most important thing I have learnt when investing in small cap companies is to be very careful with any company which is not cashflow positive and TLU have been so for a while and the 2 actions listed above suggest that there is no problem in that area. |

Posted at 02/3/2006 09:50 by 0rb1t Two buy recommendations in Shares magazine today:"Management at Italian firm TeleUnit is under no illusions about the importance of focusing on VoIP in their business model. TeleUnit has invested significant capital in its IP infrastructure and beefed up its sales, marketing and management teams. Recently it unveiled its new ADSL-based GoVoIP service, which is available nationwide in Italy to home and office users. Chief executive Francesco Cimica says TeleUnit is positioning itself for the expected ramp up in VoIP's popularity. ADSL penetration in Italy is just 20%, suggesting room for more penetration, which will hopefully lead to higher earnings. While TeleUnit isn't a pure VoIP play, its other business operations 5- digit SMS, pre-paid, wholesale, and broadband should encourage the investor." "Italy-based telco Teleunit (TLU:AIM) is rolling out its five-digit SMS technology in Turkey with a view to ramping up revenue and subscriber numbers and pushing the shares higher. Five-digit SMS technology is a user-pays way to access content for mobiles. Through its new Istanbul office, Teleunit will be the first operator to offer fivedigit SMS in Turkey, launching it in mid March. 'Our first-move advantage will allow us to position ourselves as market leaders and therein benefit from the rapid expansion and potential of the mobile content market in Turkey,' says chief executive Francesco Cimica. The news should warm up the mood of discouraged investors who have watched the firm's share price tumble from 28p-plus to today's level around 15p. However, the market will need to see some solid figures out of the Turkish operation before the shares start to regain lost traction. This is a story that Cimica knows well but he was tightlipped when Shares quizzed him about his yearahead view on the price. Meanwhile, Teleunit confirmed its base of active subscribers for its mobile content services had spiked 13% to 300,000 during January." |
Posted at 06/9/2005 22:09 by xenawarriorprincess Although the spread is 22-25p, interesting that the sells are getting 23p and the "big" buy went through at 24.5p.Certainly looking good, but I won't tempt fate - when it last reached 28p I was pretty convinced we'd never see 25p again. How wrong I was! Interesting comments however from what appears to be another private investor - DYOR, no advice, IMHO etc, etc..... (post by Trebor 26-8-05) |
Posted at 17/8/2005 20:59 by xenawarriorprincess Update on everything I think. TLU is more than SMS numbers - much more. I'm very keen on TLU - not that it has benefitted me financially! Although they make quite a few announcements I think this is definately one company where you have to read between the lines to decide what is really going on. For example TLU came to market in about April 2004 at 20pish on the basis that it was going to extend is WLL facility beyond Umbria to Tuscany and 3 other regions of Northern Italy by the end of this year. So far, apart from its original licence in Umbria it has only managed to get the licence for Tuscany. This is not through failings on the part of the company but due to the less than snail like pace of the Italian Civil Service And even when they did get the Tuscany licence it was only due to their purchasing an already exisiting licence from another company. The Italian government has simply failed to hold the auctions for the licences despite assurances to TLU that they would - smells like a bit of corruption to me via Telecom Italia. However as we know TLU has been active in other areas - and this (IMHO) is where the real TLU story lies. TLU still seems to present itself as principally interested in the WLL market - it was on that basis it was floated. However apart from the problem with obtaining the new licences last years revenue from WLL activities was only E619K of a total E60,768K. Very small beer. What has really happen is that TLU has moved away from the high tech WLL rollout, into much more high revenue generating but low tech areas. This sems to have not been explicitly stated by the company, maybe they fear a major change of direction announced so soon after floatation will scare off the institutional investors. This link however outlines part of what appears to have been really happening - The important bit is where it talks of TLU taking a strategic decision to penetrate the residential market across the whole of Italy. TLU's official emphasis is on SME's in Northern Italy via the WLL. This is also interesting (about half way down the page) I did see another article which spelt matters out even more explicitly but I can't now find it again. I know some of the few TLU followers that there are are excited about the SMS market - new to TLU this year and growing like topsy. There are no figures for revenues from SMS in any results because it is that new - however this is not the only area of TLU's business that is growing at a dizzy rate. Premium access sales grew from E35370K to E42534 between 03 and 04, profit before unallocated expenses E5750K to E9103K, but another real growth area was prepaid cards. Revenues in 03 were E964K, 1st half 04 E3694K, 2nd half 04 E5837K, pre unallocated expenses profit from prepaid cards was E109K in 03, in 04 it was E2430K. The recent deals which TLU has done re Pro Advertising, Starline, Distech etc all seem to be aimed at bolstering these very high growth markets. Whilst TLU itself seems to be very high growth, the share price isn't. I'm not sure why - maybe because it is a foreign company, maybe the institutions have sussed the strategy has changed and don't trust the company anymore (money raised on one understanding, spent in otherways), or maybe it is a hidden gem. Either way I think the next results will be very interesting, and hopefully the company, and its share price will get the recognition it deserves. |
Posted at 19/5/2005 22:17 by cmp2 unfortunately Italian telecom companies have a poor reputation with UK investors and, in addition to this, the teleunit story clearly isn't reaching investors which is a shame because it represents excellent value!i bought in at 21p,saw it rise to high 20s and fall back to current levels...yes, i'm kicking myself for not taking profit and buying back in now... |
Posted at 06/1/2005 15:26 by salpara111 Hmm, the memory of Parmalat lingers!I've been checking this out over the last few months and am pretty pleased with what I see having said that, as other posters have pointed out there are several issues which will hold it back. 1. Its in telecoms which means that it gets lumped with all the losers as opposed to the occasional winner. 2. Its a small cap and as such just doesnt attract the attention of fund managers 3. Its Italian which means that private investors will show an increased wariness of investing over a similar UK based company and as I mentioned in the first line of my post the smell of sour milk still lingers over Italian stocks. If there is further weakness then I would be inclined to dive in with both feet. |
