O.K.
Average lower still, as usual they are fiddling about, shown as a sell !

That's the big buys last week then.
Always thought this was being bought by funds.

That news & the strong CFO appointment will eventually lead to the upturn.

A matter of trying to get my average into the right areas after the disastrous buying at the original peak !

4% of the co has changed hands in the last couple of days.


Also this from Citywire this morning

Costar bags more Blur


There’s no other way but up for battered Blur Group (BLUR), JO Hambro’s Mark Costar has decided.

Costar has bought another 55,000 shares in Blur, worth around £46,300, to take his total stake to 5.2 million shares. That means he now owns 11% of the firm.

Costar focuses on cheap companies, and Blur is certainly going for a song too: its share price has crashed 86% so far this year.

The universal fear about Blur is that its business model – it offers an online marketplace to tender for projects from accountancy to app design – isn’t profitable. Indeed, for the past five years Blur has lost money.

However, stereotypes about dotcom businesses can be deceiving and Blur recently confirmed that the value of its project bookings for the first half of 2014 had leapt by more than 200% from last year.

Citywire AA-rated Costar, who has now managed the JO Hambro UK Growth fund for 13 years, has backed more winners than losers in that time: his fund has returned 222% since launch compared with 123% from the FTSE 100.

Now above the Japanese cloud, some interesting cash flow figs & even better a big hitter financial appointment.
No wonder that the large buys are there ahead of the weekend press.

J777j still with you here, just been away last few days, working out how to spend the profits when they come !

I have now averaged down of late, but still a long way to go.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers Hay.

Hmm 1 million neary two placent of the company

[j777j] 19/9/2014 13:56

Is this volume flagging the arrival of a new Chairman, or the receiving end of some of the $9billion cash Alibaba is likely to go on a spending spree with?

[angus17] 16/9/2014 08:03

Will he be buying a stake though? Lets hope he dips his toe in.

[genesisark] 14/9/2014 15:16

I hope you think of a good business idea and go on Dragon's Den.

Its the bit where you try to show how you value your company that I would be looking forward to, for a good laugh.

Simply confirms to me why journalists are just that and nothing more.


Anyone else notice the arrival of Tesco as a customer on the website?
Must be one of the two high street names the company flagged up last week.

[hazl] 10/9/2014 08:57

of course yump...time will tell
which of these stocks survive imo

[genesisark] 10/9/2014 08:56

hazl
Sorry everyone o/t
I remember I almost bought some. 5 or 6 letters I think. Just wondered if anyone from there ended up at Blur or similar. Pretty sure it had an expert trading / matching process of some sort.

Just saw your post re Goindustry. Now I remember it was excess industrial? stock trading.
Nothing to do with this then.

[hazl] 10/9/2014 08:50

genesis....yes I had some of those!

what was the name?

Forget myself lol/

edit

Goindustry! yes they were taken private....I thought they looked good at the time

were you in?

[j777j] 10/9/2014 08:45

To hell?

I would still like to see Letts buy some more shares back.It would be a powerful signal.

We now await the announcements of the new non exec chairman and new Cfo.

[genesisark] 10/9/2014 08:40

Blur reminds me of something from a few years ago, but it might not be related at all.

Anyone remember a US company that was a kind of business to business Ebay - I think that had some sort of B2B buying / quoting process.

It was floated on AIM and then went private. Memory is pretty hazy but might have been called Go something ?

[j777j] 10/9/2014 08:31

She is simply full of spite leave her alone.

[hazl] 10/9/2014 08:25

I have absolutely no interest in you whatsover yump but will address direct remarks as you are disrupting this thread.
I don't need to spout my winners either but I do like the innovative unusual stocks and BOOM has been very exciting so far. again, when its risen so quickly,who knows what could happen.?

Please don't bother to address me again if you can't be civil.
