Posted at 08/5/2002 22:45 by ryanstella Avoint.The execution to which you refer was a purchase of 100,000 shares at £1.07 equating to a spend of £1,070. A purchase of thie value is highly unlikely to move the share price. What will however cause a stir is when an institution wants to buy a large number of shares which are not readily available. Shareholders are approached with inflated offers to part with their shares. I day trade heavily and was at one point offered 1.4p for my 500.000 shares, in hine sight I wish I had sold them and could now retrench, however I chose to hold on.. The point I am making is, there are not that many abr shares on the market as most of the larger investors are in it for the long term and have no interest in selling just yet. We also need Old man Barclay, who is as tight as a ducks backside to spend some money promoting Abr with some half decent annoucements. He was notorious when he worked at seymour pearce for holding back on these as they cost thousands. The upside is he is keeping a tight rein on the purse strings and therefore helping the bottom line. Did you know Abr are taking Elton games to the Ofex, I bought in last week @ 9p they will move to the Ofex over the next couple of weeks. Abr have at least one other IPO over the next four weeks with plenty more in the pipeline. Are you in Sbt, if not have a look. I will be in touch shortly as promised. Regards Ryan. |
Posted at 02/5/2002 00:30 by ryanstella Avoint.No, I am neither a blagger nor ramper. Old man Barclay (the cunning little fox), has simply not let the cat out of the bag. There is a lot more happenning behind the scenes than he`s made out. Have you heard the saying, "location, location, location" when your buying a house, well when I worked at Apax and partners our equivalent saying was " management, management, management" and Abr have that by the truck load. Take up the shares you have. Some of the shrewdest investors I know, people who have made a serious amount of money from share dealing are heavily punting this stock. This stock is a poptential 3-4 bagger but you are going to have to wait 8-12 months, which is relatively, a very short time for such a good return. Good luck. Regards Ryan |
Posted at 26/4/2002 10:45 by lyndonharrison Abinger's harbinger of bigger thingsNo pain no gain by Derek Pain 18 January 2002 Buying shares in a fledgling venture can be rewarding for the small and patient investor. New and often untested companies frequently appear on the stock market even in these dull days. But there is, unless you are in the know or have a significant bank balance, little chance of the average private player picking up shares on the cheap before flotation. The best private investors can expect is to buy in the months after the shares have been floated, or on the back of an early deal that entails the issue of more shares which act as a drag on the price for a time. Abinger Investments could be such a candidate. It has been quoted for less than a year and has just put through its first takeovers. What's more, it is aimed at small investors and small companies. It is still feeling its way but, if all goes according to plan, Abinger could emerge as something of a power in the financial community. At such an early stage in a company's development much has to be taken on trust with the records and intentions of the people involved which is the best guide to the future. There is no doubt the men behind Abinger have been round the financial block a few times and have the experience and know how to create a new group. Of course, any fledgling investment carries a higher degree of risk than, say, a blue chip. But Abinger could be a rewarding pin-money punt for brave investors. Leading the Abinger adventure is Stephen Barclay, 59, who has been advising small companies for many years. He was largely responsible for putting together the quoted Seymour Pierce financial and stockbroking group. Mr Barclay launchedAbinger on the market last summer, raising £920,000 in the process. In November came the first deals. City Financial Associates (CFA) was acquired for £500,000 in shares, and a further £1.4m (in cash and shares) was spent buying Galleon Asset Management. CFA is a small-company adviser run by Mr Barclay and his team: Galleon is a private client stockbroker, based in Manchester and born out of the old-established Gall & Eke. It has nearly 14,000 clients. Behind Galleon is Mark Sheppard, who is a former drinks analyst at ABN Amro. I would be surprised if Abinger, which accompanied the takeovers with a £1m share placing, indulges in other major deals in the next few months. It plans to grow by acquisitions. But with so many redundancy notices flying around the City it intends for the time being to rely on those dropping out of work and feels it should be able to recruit top-class people to increase its firepower. Naturally, share options, already a big feature at the group, will be a major part of its hello packages. Still, I would expect it to be padding along the takeover trail later this year. Despite the plethora of small-cap advisers, it feels the financial community has yet to come to terms with all the needs of smaller companies. "There is a vast gap to be filled," says Mr Barclay. "We intend to specialise in small companies but, of course we would not turn away Vodafone if it came knocking on our door. But our aim is to accommodate entrepreneurs." A banking licence and an investment management business are on the Abinger agenda. It is also thinking of developing a private equity entrepreneurs club. An AIM- quoted investment company, perhaps called The Punters' Fund, is another possibility. As the potential name implies it would be geared to small investors and specialise in offbeat and speculative situations. Abinger's backers, with their small-company approach, are clearly geared to the small investor. The company, I believe, is a classic penny punt. For the £1m placing the shares were sold at 1p each. They are now around 1.25p. Experienced investors, with a little cash to spare, should be tempted. They may not be getting in on the pre-flotation ground floor but Abinger is still a long way from even reaching the first storey. |
Posted at 22/4/2002 20:07 by itsourpete Interesting Article has appeared on the City Equities web-site (free to join and access).Extract from CITY EQUITIES feature on Abinger Investments "if things do go to plan, it would be unlikely that this business would remain capitalised at current levels. In our opinion, a very interesting situation". With the positive vibes coming from Abinger, this stock is sure to gather momentum shortly, as new investors see the attraction and more and more acquisitions are made by Barclay & Co. |
Posted at 03/4/2002 22:10 by itsourpete Abinger is currently trading at somewhere close to net asset value and has to be good value given its growth potential.

Posted at 07/3/2002 22:53 by aggressive saver hi itsourpete,I really think your thread pennys from heaven is great and look forward to penny's from heaven 2. I own 55,000 Abinger Investments shares from back in November. I am really suspicious of how the mm's have changed the way they do the spread like what happened to Energis and Cater Bernard the first day they started taking of when they used to trade in 1/4p's and now 1/10's. I think the mm's only start doing this when they expect more investors to invest and want to encourage them to keep selling and buying the same shares as they have the best spreads compared to other companies on the LSE, which also incourages daytraders and shortermists to their market. I would appreciate that tip you were on about if you think its up to Monotub, Sportworld Media and Netwindfall's standards. Kind Regards Aggressive Saver |
