Looking bleak now, treacle ramping the old statements out from the results to try and encourage buyers.

Very desperate and wont work.

Lvl 2 is 2v2

1 mm on the bid @ 0.2p!!!

Couple of meaty sells gone through in last few minutes as holders head for the exit.

Not looking too good..

[egoi] 28/10/2008 11:14

As I suspected a flurry of interest on results day from people who probably only look at headline numbers, and now it will imho be months of drip selling.

Highlights

* Turnover increased by 250 per cent. to £1.763 million (2007: £0.503 million)

* Operating Profit before impairment increased by 133 per cent. to £1.055 million
(2007: £0.452 million)


Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to announce that for the twelve months to 30 April 2008, the Company achieved a profit before tax of £639,000 (2007:
£361,000). This represents an increase of 77% on last year. Earnings per ordinary 0.1p share was 0.16p (2007: 0.13p).

Net assets have grown by 194% from £692,000 to £2,034,000, resulting in an increase in net asset value (NAV) per ordinary 0.1p share from 0.29p to 0.71p.

Prospects

The Company has started the new financial year strongly and has invested heavily in its new subsidiary, Room to Invest and other areas of the business. In the first four months of this year to 31 August 2008 the Group has been both profitable and cash generative.

One mm is on 0.2p bid!!

[seanmiller] 28/10/2008 11:08

lvl 2 is 2v2 and soon to go negative with any more sells!

two on 0.3p and two on 0.4p

Pretty bad today, and as I expected, and posted yesterdsy, it is going down.

More big sells coming through and picture will get worse. It is probably treacle dumping these now ;)

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 10:59

Happy to soak up sells still...L2 is strong as it can be at 3 v 1 with still one MM on 0.40p offer then one on 0.50p and one on 0.55p.

[seanmiller] 28/10/2008 09:39

Press mentions have done notiing for this. Luckily all investors have seen this company for what it is and stayed well away.

I expect that to continue. Chancer is ranting away and posting a desperate amount of times here, trying to pump price for exit.

Not gonna happen, expect her to hold for a while longer then be forced to sell at a loss lol.

Dear oh dear, novice indeed!!

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 08:49

Some press mentions and more buy ratings should be coming which should Capital Ideas on the radars....6 months for next Interims at the end of October nearly completed and already stated that it has been profitable and everything well.

Still just one MM on 0.40p offer, then 0.50p and 0.60p.

Today's City Page in The Sun:-

Lower down, CAPITAL IDEAS - the investment firm which owns a stake in dating agency Dateline - rose 0.125p to 0.375 as annual profits rose sharply.

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 06:30

Today's Times Online Newspaper:-

Capital Ideas, whose investments include a holding in Dateline, the online dating agency, gained 0.13p to 0.375p on upbeat annual results.

[treacle28] 27/10/2008 20:47

Looks like this report was quite right:-

Number of positive announcements which would indicate that pre-tax profits for the year ended 30 April 2008 should reach record levels of around £1m. we would expect to see the shares reach, and even exceed, 2p.

[seanmiller] 27/10/2008 20:32

desperate chancer now - turning on the colours lol

Anyone thinking of investing here be careful, this company will start to suffer, hence why the mm's only put the price back to what it was last month, so no rises here!

Price will drop over the coming months, one to avoid.

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Investment company Capital Ideas reported a 77% jump in full-year pre-tax profit and said the current financial year has started strongly.

Pre-tax profit rose to £639,000 in the twelve months to 30 April compared with £361,000 last year. Turnover increased by 250% to £1.763m.

Turnover and profits soar at Capital Ideas
an ADVFN competitor
Capital Ideas, which is focused on developing a database marketing business, said in the year to 30th April 2008 turnover increased by 250% to £1.763m (2007: £0.503m).

Operating profit before impairment increased by 133% to £1.055m (2007: £0.452m).

Commenting on the result, Chairman Stuart Kinner said, 'The board is very pleased with progress in the past financial year and the current financial year has started strongly. The Company has reshaped itself from focusing purely on investing in turnaround opportunities to becoming a more diversified group.

The strategy is to acquire majority interests in companies that meet with the management's expertise and integrate them within the Group to benefit from synergies. The first such acquisition involved the creation of Capital Ideas Financial Publishing Ltd and the subsequent purchase of a financial publication business.

The Company has also launched 'Room to Invest', a hotel room investment company, which we are expecting to be a major contributor to profits going forward.'

For the twelve months to 30th April 2008, the company achieved a profit before tax of £639,000 (2007: £361,000). This represents an increase of 77% on last year.

Earnings per ordinary share was 0.16p (2007: 0.13p).

Net assets grew by 194% from £692,000 to £2,034,000, resulting in an increase in net asset value (NAV) per ordinary share from 0.29p to 0.71p.

The directors did not recommend the payment of a dividend.

ucretin...agree about soaking sells easily today. Just one MM was on 0.40p offer at close, with the other on 0.50p and then 0.60p. IMO we will see some director interest and more coverage initiated now. Valued at less than turnover with NAV of 0.71p. Should be trading at around 1.40p on p/e of just 7.

[ucretin] 27/10/2008 20:17

Treacle - relishing said on Friday that he/she was in for 5m and has already picked up 1.86m. Probably why MMs willing to soak up sells.
This needs Director buying.

[treacle28] 27/10/2008 20:14

I think the 1.86 million buyer at 0.35p on Friday will be in for more this week!

[mattrix1] 27/10/2008 19:23

Should feel sorry for her financial loss then!

Share price rose today give her a little credit..got it wrong with others but called it closer than most on here today...as i recall some say the share price would go nowhere on results..good job no one took that advice.

Good on ya Treacle..I do like an under dog.

Of course if the company announce it's going bust 2moz, then I take it all back.

[seanmiller] 27/10/2008 18:42

never followed chancer/treacle.

all her stocks have bombed, she has a track record for worst investor on ADVFN.

That's the truth of it ;)

[mattrix1] 27/10/2008 17:36

Oh my god..you see what I mean I open my big mouth about chancer and here come a barrage of posts with nothing to do with Capt clogging up the bb again.

I could follow Jacknife about giving him a hard time...he is much the same as treacle but finding negative info and posting it on most bbs. What kind of life would that be.

I've been reading bb's for years some are constructive and some are just plain nonsence ie, slagging off sessions. Don't want this one to turn into the later but im to late..yes!

All I can think is that treacle has in the past lured some of you into buying shares in a failed company and you have lost out big..then fair enough revenge is on the cards..but if not why bother you all seem like intelligent bunch of guys. Who care's if she ramps, most of it is info taken from the net anyway (copy and past).

[seanmiller] 27/10/2008 15:20

lol - only one idiot on here it seems.

The idiot that said the price would rise 100% on results day.

Then - The idiot who said the price would be 1p on results day.

Then the idiot who stuck with this dog even after results were publshed and the price done nothing, cos the mm's know the company has no outlook and the accounting policies are somewhat dubious to say the least.

Also, the idiot who continues to ramp this stock even afer others who followed lost money.

Very embarassing indded - what an idiot!!

best not buy this - treacle/chancer has a few left I believe as she is getting riled a bit. Missed the exit this morning on her remaining stock and is now fuming. Trying to suck in others to buy so she can get out as there is nothing left to move this stock up, only down!

Desperate times cal for desperate treacle/chancer lol ;)
