Of course. But bearing in mind the bid price hasn't touched 0.17p for quite some time, I can see him getting enough acceptances (he won't be getting mine 'til the last possible minute) He may also have a large holding (and if someone could check and post the large shareholders here I'd be extremely grateful...I can't access my usual source at the moment)

surely you have to agree to this..? if not , he cannot proceed can he..?

Out of curiosity, how many shares have people on this board got? I'm weighing in with 1.25M, which remarkably enough is 0.4% of the company!

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:54

yes, things are fine, not on here too much now, too busy, work is hectic, help Ali practice whenever i can, got web-site up & running, it is going ok....not got time to post on here....To be honest, only have a small interest in this now......(not ASP, in shares in general.....)

The market's, great. Life, so-so. Still, onwards and upwards, eh? Hope things are better for you.

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:42

As long as it is not me going bonkers..!!!

hows life treating you Stew..? Good i hope....

No, there really are people that daft, alec. They probably figure they can go and make 6 squillion % in a day on whatever the latest piece of overhyped tech tat may be rather than hang on a month or two for that extra measly(!) 15%. If you think about it, 0.15/0.19 represents money in the MM pocket if anybody is stupid enough to either buy OR sell so I can well understand that price being quoted. As to someone buying at 0.17p, not quite as mad as it seems...with any bid there's always the possibility of a counter offer (unlikely here IMO) and even if there isn't you lose nothing but dealing charges.

Hi Alec, very strange indeed, as if the MMs know 0.17p isn't the final offer!

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:32

someone sold at .15p...??????? am i going mad..?

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:32

.19p offer..???

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:28

someone has paid .17p..?? dont figure does it..??

Surely this would have to go to a vote..?

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:27

Hi stew, Long time Eh..?

i think he has been waiting to do this for a while now.....

[justjus] 10/9/2003 10:25

[alecjm] 10/9/2003 10:22

[justjus] 10/9/2003 10:16

Hi All, Dubber....

[dubberboy] 28/8/2003 00:41

huge it may be worth hanging on till the interims,,,,who knows?

[hugepants] 28/8/2003 00:35

The MMs are probably taking the pish as usual. Last week the bid price moved to 0.17p. I phoned my broker and asked them to try and sell 1M. Knowing how illiquid these are I put a limit of 0.15p. My broker phoned me back and said the MMs would give me 0.12p for 1M! Crooks the lot of them.

[barter] 28/8/2003 00:25

Strange movement today. Down 17% but online limits are 2.5M to sell and only 500k to buy (comdirect) ?

[dubberboy] 18/8/2003 19:01

thanks jay

[jay aitch] 18/8/2003 18:28

dubberboy - correct, managed to get rid of them in one go at bid (0.13p) which should have started alarm bells ringing! 1m on Fri, 2m today - someone in the know? would just be my luck. However, good luck to all those holding

[dubberboy] 18/8/2003 15:02

wait and see negus i would say

[negus1] 18/8/2003 13:35

[dubberboy] 18/8/2003 11:53
