Good timing to make that kind of profit on these!

Cash by 7th Aug.

[weaverbeever] 20/6/2014 12:46

I made around 75%. Bought on dip.Didnt invest life savings but still good return for meHow long till we get money out?

[this_is_me] 20/5/2014 06:52

Douments today, small profit on this one not really worth the money tied up.

Small loss for me but it seems the board are determined to balls it up so 25p is looking like a gift.

I don't know if anyone picked up on it but Aron Banks appeared on the IOF board where he has taken a notifiable holding. He was quite amusing and probably said a few things he shouldn't. One thing he said was he has a new company and poached all the best talent from Brightside. The way the results are going I think he might be right. 25p? Yes please!

Given the uncertainties around this & poor 2013/1H14 trading, I'll happily accept the 25p offer & book a small profit here.

1. You get to vote on the deal.
2. You get to accept the deal if enough vote for it.
3. If there is a competing offer (unlikely) you get more money.
4. If the market gets a rumour that there is going to be a higher offer the offer price will get above 25p.

That is very roughly what happens - there is more detail to the process.

Assuming that you hold your shares in CREST like I do or have a certificate you will get the bumf in the post from the company's registrars.

Nice price and not a complete suprise that this has happened. It was one posible option based on the share priceSo what does this meanWill my shares now be bought 25p each and im sent the full value of my holding - Numberer of shares x 25p =££££Case closedOrDo i get to hold shares and trade them should the value for some reason increase past 25p?

[this_is_me] 08/5/2014 15:09

I was expecting them to do well in the long term but a short term jump is good too.

[masurenguy] 08/5/2014 14:54

Well it looks as though it's finally gone @25p. I guess Markerstudy have had enough - they bought in at just under 23p early last year so they will just about get their investment back at this price after allowing for inflation.

[this_is_me] 08/5/2014 14:36

Well that is a nice bonus!

[weaverbeever] 30/4/2014 07:31

[dandanactionman] 23/4/2014 17:55

Anybody know when results are due.

[weaverbeever] 26/3/2014 18:35

not good to see it drop though

[this_is_me] 25/3/2014 07:44

Good to see it stay just above the key 20o mark.

[this_is_me] 13/3/2014 08:12

Just sitting on the 20p level, which seems to be a key level for BRT.

[stpalm] 05/3/2014 12:47
