great set of results and glad to see thing definately moving upwards!

hopefully see the same for RNOW?

A lot of Companies have come unstuck by going on an acquisition spree.

It could be that online research acquisitions will prove the exception.

Even so having regretted until their profits warning not buying RNOW and also YOU I would now be out of both if I had held. I'm still very comfortable holding TOL. Although the TOL rating too looks quite rich, their next results (including news of how their small but probably earnings enhancing acquistion has bedded in) could be very impressive. TOL seems to suffer a bit through being less well known in the UK than YOU, but they are doing every bit as well and maybe - we'll know fairly soon - even better.

Agree, too fast and too large

[stegrego] 08/8/2007 18:40

More integration risk - if it comes off then great - if not then errrr not great!

[kenmitch] 08/8/2007 09:59

Surprised to see no comment on the acquisition news yesterday.

fwiw I prefer the Toluna approach of small bolt on acquisitions. Safer than trying to grow fast by acquisition, especially so with several in quick succession.

Trading update says in line rather than ahead of expectations.

Fairly negative Tempus comment today.

Other opinions?

Talk that the latest buy makes the co. more of a traditional company, where a pe of 15 is more usual than a pe of 30 - hence the price drop.

It certainly is very quiet at the moment.

The notice for the date of the final results should be announced next week with the date for the results themselves being in late September or early October. It would be nice to have a trading update before the close period.

In the meantime just make money by joining them and completing their surveys:

Sure was - looks like a crash. Can't think why though. Any news about?

[markie7] 25/7/2007 15:36

looks like good timing to me.

[moormoney] 23/7/2007 12:37

I sold I'm afraid--very disappointing result.

[diesel72] 23/7/2007 12:23

any ideas what is going on here - just seems to keep dropping?

[moormoney] 05/7/2007 14:13

I'm wondering if I should hold as there is so little interest in this one now---boring!

[johnrxx99] 18/6/2007 09:11

Certainly in the buying zone. The RSI is way down.

[markie7] 18/6/2007 08:57

OK, so any fresh thoughts here, dropping down from c210 to c 182 over the last few weeks. no obvious reason for that? could be getting better value

Still not much interest here but I read today they recently launched an Indian Media fund and floated it on Aim. does anyone have any info to share and the epic please?

[m.t.glass] 11/5/2007 12:28

yougov have been quizzing survey panellists over whether we fancy participating in mobile text-based surveys (yougov refunding any online costs incurred). So that they can get fast results on headline issues. I can see that catching on usefully. (Assuming these will be simple brief yes/no/maybe/dunno questions)

(yougov also asking about midday text alerts for onscreen surveys that need completing ahead of evening newscasts)

[moormoney] 11/5/2007 10:55

Yep-I think we're ahead of the herd here-patience will bring rewards. IMO.of course.

[diesel72] 11/5/2007 09:22

And mentioned on Radio 4 again this morning - watch out for more high profile polls with leadership election coming up

[johnrxx99] 11/5/2007 05:15

Mentioned in Sh@res Mag as a Evolutionary Winner - ie changing how things are done.

[moormoney] 09/5/2007 17:04

added a few more today-while it's quiet!

[charterhouse3] 04/5/2007 17:33

MTG

Of course newcomers will reduce the chances of those draw prizes.

However the surveys will gain more credibility the more people participate so I reckon it will be good for the Company and therefore the share price.

We'll win one way or another !!

[m.t.glass] 04/5/2007 16:57

Yep. Not gonna make you rich though - unless you land a few of the cash prizes. Mostly we get 50p a survey - or entry into a prize draw instead (occasionally both). My fifty-pences have ammassed me the grand total of £27.50

One or more of them £250 draw prizes would be nice.. but the more people who join, the smaller the prospect I guess. (And each time we prompt newcomers, the worse it gets!)
