Is TW's list of New Year tips out?

[tsmith2] 31/12/2010 10:31

buy at 27p?!

[argy2] 31/12/2010 08:33

There has been, and still is, plenty of time for those who paid much more to still average down.This could be a major winner in 2011 according to TW. Wonder why we have not seen the t1ps increased holding announced?

[sofie811] 31/12/2010 08:29

dd - so did I but looking at where the share price has fallen to 50p would be a welcome move in the right direction

[dd776] 31/12/2010 01:55

50p might seem a lot but some of us bought in at a higher price

[sofie811] 30/12/2010 15:49

Two major things held back FAN - the debt and the Board - both have been addressed and as a large shareholder I am delighted at the changes and agree with ARGY2 that 50p+ is now a reality during 2011.

[argy2] 29/12/2010 14:05

Surprised T1ps haven't updated their holding in FAN

[blue2000] 27/12/2010 11:02

one of the 12 tips of christmas by uk-analyst is FIRST ARTIST
tipped at 18p this is a stock set to treble within a year, they comment.

When I said last week - double in a week - I was joking - suspect it may pause for a while now - more news needed

Following may explain much of that. Note the last sentence.


T1ps fund latest update bodes well for the share price:

Our investment approach at times requires a lot of patience but in the cases of Avanti, Medusa, Domino's and a good chunk of our Fund this patience pays off sooner rather than later. But in the case of AIM listed First Artist Corporation the patience instilled in the eventual realisation of value has taken longer to begin to pay off. We remain confident with our investment analysis from Day 1 and regardless of whether re-ratings are rapid or take time we are confident in the end result. First Artist illustrates this perfectly. The company announced on 10 August 2010 that it was in talks which a third party which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the company. We valued the underlying business of the company so were not totally surprised that this had occurred, especially in regards to the Theatre business. Four months later and it was announced on 8 December 2010 that Pivot Entertainment, a New York based entertainment and market ing business, backed by the wealthy Stoller family, had initiated the first stage of a long term investment program via an investment of $4 million. The investment was composed of an issue of equity and a long term loan agreement, and is aimed at developing the core business whilst reducing the level of debt that the company is exposed to. Together, Pivot Entertainment and the Stoller family will hold 29.86% of the company, we now hold well over 5%. We have bought aggressively since the news and are in regular dialogue with the new managers - we have been for a while.

We are confident in the Stoller's business acumen in the entertainment industry and with David Stoller taking over as Executive Chairman on 13 December 2010 this materially highlights that they will be having a real hands on approach in the direction of First Artist from here onwards. This is something that has made us feel confident in the continued future potential of the business. With the shares currently trading at 16p First Artist is capitalised at £6.3 million, implying an Enterprise Value of circa £22.8 million. We reckon that the entertainment business, when run well, can generate £5 million plus EBITDA. The current valuation is undemanding and implies that the Events and Sports business are thrown in for nothing. We have been buying aggressively here recently as see some very solid untapped potential beginning to emerge and we think 60p is about the right share price.

[moorsie2] 21/12/2010 08:37

Seems to be a lot of buying interest here at the moment...

[jamie62] 20/12/2010 16:00

heading in the right direction....

OH THE IRONY. I bought in here on the back of positive forecasts from IC, Money Observer and What Investment all within a short time of each other back when the share price was around 65p.

Fat lot of good 3 bullish journalists did for me! lol. Of course, I take full responsibility for my decisions but I wouldnt have come across this struggler without those articles.

[argy2] 16/12/2010 09:20

Possibly and hopefully IC and Shares mag soon. These guys are big players.

[tara7] 16/12/2010 09:17

FT on SAT??

[argy2] 16/12/2010 09:16

Suspect these new appointments might produce some press coverage.

[argy2] 16/12/2010 07:10

More details of the new board. Makes impressive reading.Expect news soon that T1ps are still buying.

[tara7] 15/12/2010 19:48

Poor Markt, he unlike investors who researched my stocks in 2009 lost out on a 300% plus gain and this year a 78% gain.!!

[mudbath] 15/12/2010 19:34

markt may just have exited bed on incorrect side in view of the negativity.
See his negative remarks on another excellent tara7 favourite,Stilo.

[markt] 15/12/2010 19:11

¡hello dolly'

TLY
pants imo

very low turnover....

so many companies with 0-5M turnover...and so many of them never go anywhere....and so many die the death....

(if you buy shares in 5 companies in cap. range 0-5M that are just oscillating...if 1 goes bust, 1 de-lists never to be seen again, 1 goes no where, 1 goes up 50% in price, and 1 doubles
....then the overall return is a waste of time imo....lose 30% overall ....
