Like most of you guys, I've traded the stock as best as possible over the decades and still have a residue holding.

What's needed is a professional punter to get interested.

With a big wallet and professional legal team he might be able to realise the company's wealth.

The board have no reason to do so.
Private investors are, individually, unable to do so.

Hello harrogate. Alliance Trust are selling the share dealing operation to Interactive Investor. Deal will probably complete next Spring.
I do agree with you re Alliance Trust's performance, never in my life have I had to wait so long to get money out of my account. However my problem is that i am based in Spain, and not many brokers will open an account for me ( guess that it is all to do with money laundering legislation ), so it was easier for me to stay with Alliance Trust. But i am always keen to hear about other peoples' experiences. Who did you switch to ? Would you recommend them ? Do you know if they are relaxed about dealing for people who are based in Spain ?
I am not looking for an advisory service, purely dealing only, but i do need a good backroom service in terms of cash withdrawals, corporate actions etc. I was in broking myself, so i like to think that i know a good operation when i see one. ( Brewin Dolphin, and A.J.Bekhor, if your memory goes back that far !)

How interesting - today we have yet another buyer of an odd amount of shares - I must have seen some ten or more such bargains over the past week - almost as though a retail broker was promoting this story to his client base. So, if any of you reading this board happen to be one of the recent buyers then please do tell us who is feeding you the BUY story and what exactly is his spin !
Incidentally I write as a relatively large holder of long standing, convinced as ever that there is real hidden value in this overlooked situation, although of course the marketability ( or rather the lack of ) is clearly a disincentive to new investors.

Actually, harrogate, I think you will find that this figure for NAV was shown in the Report and Accounts. With all due respect this oversight on your part surely illustrates a point quite effectively - namely, that some of you are so negative that you cannot see the wood for the trees. Sure, I do understand that if you have been here since 1987 then your view of future prospects will be somewhat jaundiced. But that was then and this is now, and the big difference is that we now have a non-exec on board who on two separate occasions has bought stock at a substantial premium to the prevailing market price. That this non-exec is a financier, and he is buying into a quote that will soon have more than its market cap in cash, are further pointers that you all seem to have been very quick to dismiss.
And one last point - you say that it is not clear if Charlie wants to sell more stock at this price or not - but surely you must realise that before Rod bought the extra shares the other day he would have had to seek approval from Charlie, and if Charlie wanted to sell anymore at this level he surely would have taken advantage of the situation there and then. He did not, and this in my view is a very significant pointer.
And braham4, you say that you were not impressed by the compulsory purchase of small holdings. I wonder if you have any experience of the horrendous costs of maintaining a Register which is stuffed to the gills of low quality penny share punters. Personally I thought that it was a very smart move on the Company´s part - and, after all, any serious investor who did not want to be compulsorily purchased could easily have bought more so as to bring his holding up to the minimum level required.
Anyway, no offence intended and I wish you both a happy, and above all, an optimistic and positive new year !!!!

Time for e-mailing directors with long suffering investors views. A few sales of shares and the price vanishes, there is no market here and as you say - what is the point? I intend to ask about the continued employment(if that is the case) of Mrs Bailey who I think is a nonogenerian inter alia........

I am not worried about the depletion of the cash resources - it is just that this might have been an opportunity to get another large investor on board who might then have been a balance against the Bailey family, but quite clearly this is not something that the family wants.
Am a bit surprised that there has not been more comment here this morning - to me this is one of the unfairest Schemes that I have seen in a long time, and I speak as a holder of 1% plus who theoretically should actually benefit from the Scheme!

As usual they make life complicated ..if it is so onerous being a quoted company why not just take it private? ..A price of say £1.75 for what they don't own can be afforded now .. Seems they somehow like the trappings and apparent cachet of being a PLC..God knows why. An institutional investor ??? In this company ..never in a million years. I agree that cancelling the listing must be a threat and at least this move makes you feel that isn't coming. I am very disappointed about the Malta cash ..more investments .. Give us the cash and let us make our own investments..I can see no evidence over the last few years that the investments have been good for shareholders. Nonsense I am afraid

I imagine there will be a fair few howls on this board today. Consolidating small shareholders off the Register is a well trodden path, but I cannot recall a situaion where the minimum requirement was set so high. After all, 5000 shares currently have a value of 6500 pounds sterling! But, nevertheless, with such a lopsided Register I can well see the sense in what they are trying to achieve. At least the small shareholders who are effectively being dumped are getting a significantly better price than they would have done if this scheme had been effected six months ago! Shame that it is the Company´s new found wealth that is being used to finance the operation - I would have preferred to see a third party buying the lot if only to get an institutional investor on the Register.
Cannot help but wonder what Mr. Bailey has in store next for the rest of us! That is, all 70 of us!

Bearing in mind the state of the world economy as well, I doubt whether there's any great rush to start building in Malta (as a renowned holiday resort) or anywhere else for that matter. Perhaps the spike was caused by an investor actually trying to buy 10 shares .....

We all know that something is on the way - it is called MALTA, stupid!!! Can´t think why you want to keep posting here, whilest2 - do you actually hold the stock, and if you do then why have you not sold it given that you clearly have no faith in the management! Please tell - to me markets are all about investor psychology and after years in the game I thought that I had pretty much come across all investor types, but you are something else!
