If the company is in need of rescue then 45 is probably ok - if not I feel it is too low - see above

[pacman88] 07/12/2001 08:05

Any clues who the US co is??

[mad4it] 07/12/2001 08:04

Whisper number is 45p, from an American company.

re: honister - shame that you think the mm's have pushed the price up so much. I honestly think there is a significant premium to this to be paid if an offer is placed on the table. Look at the graph. IMHO PDYOR

[highstreetmike] 07/12/2001 08:00

NAV as per the last quarterly accounts was 59p

As they have written off all purchased goodwill lets assume for the sake of argument that any losses for the last four months would be covered by the goodwill premium asked by Jason Drummond for his hard work.

I say 60p is a minimum - discuss???

I never been in shares before with this company although I know the history 100% and always loved them along with Chris Ackers. What a great move swapping my Digital Animations shares for them and at least I kept my DAG thread respect as VET is a DAG's shareholder favourite.

[mjhalpin] 07/12/2001 07:55

Fundamentals - this company has a cash pile greater than the companys worth and increasing revenues ! pydor

[highstreetmike] 07/12/2001 07:54

Cor! what luck - bought in yesterday for the LONG term!

[mjhalpin] 07/12/2001 07:52

Wow - this could be very exciting - surely Jason Drummond, one of the directors wouldn't negotiate a price below the price he has paid for his recent purchases of shares. Onwards and upwards. IMHO Good luck to all.

Just been over to their web-site. I'm sure it has been changed. New and improved look to it. This is not a compamy planning to lay down and die. IMO should get to ~75p without too much bother. It just needs to be noticed by the market.

[kitkat] 07/12/2001 00:32

I can see these moving to 55p soon.
glad I'm in!!

Virtual Internet used to be called Charriol launched by Chris Ackers who played majic not long after with Sports Internet. All of Chris's companys have performed well except for Property Internet.

Good volumes and all buys again today. Here's hoping for a good day tomorrow.

[aggressive saver] 06/12/2001 16:56

Market makers only were fair today on most tech/internet stocks in general by not marking them up much at all compared to how much the Nasdaq has risen lately. I think that VET should benefit from very strong trading markets in general. Market maker moods may be kind tomorrow for everything since the Nasdaq has kept its gain of late followed by a gradual increase.

[disciple] 06/12/2001 15:17

I'm in for a tidy amount on this one for christmas.

[chadders] 06/12/2001 14:51

Remember, Jason Drummond was buying at 45p not so long ago and he's the major shareholder. If he is prepared to risk his own money (when he's sitting on a huge pile of shares anyway)then I would of thought that this was a huge vote of confidence.

[frances2] 06/12/2001 14:39

this volume suggests something is up

[ellalucy] 06/12/2001 14:04

I can see these ticking up slowly. Maybe not the next Affinity but they hav a nice tidy cash pile that a few potential acquirers wouldn't mind access too. Long on VET.

[kitkat] 06/12/2001 13:30

All buys today

[mjhalpin] 06/12/2001 11:51

Two MM's left at 25p offer. 80000T trade buy just gne through at 24p to tick up price. When some bigger players start coming forward......
Re : Alsfar - probably same thing rollover (never heard it called that before, though it could mean the same thing), cash and new - terminology only just means if they are the same shares they have not entered into circulation again and this process can only be done once with each share each taxable year.

[aggressive saver] 06/12/2001 11:35

Loads of buys just keep coming and this is definately the next Affinity Internet Holdings at a much chaper price to start of with. What a bonus share VET is.

[aggressive saver] 06/12/2001 11:09

Another 6,400 shares bought
