Cawky you any other short targets that haven't collapsed yet??

LOL- If he is trying to sell on a bet at 35p, I think he has missed the boat as well.

Spreadfair is hardly a healthy audience to stock buyers. If it was then shares should be still tradable bankrupt or not.

To be honest there should be a UK pink sheets at least stockholders would know where they stand.

What are you on?

This company is goosed and the big vulture "Capita" will be there, straight after the liquidators have cleared up all the loose ends, to clean off the remains of its carcass.
IMHO

Had a look at the jan07 interims. Why oh why can cos report accounting profits yet can't generate a penny of cash.

richardbonny,

I am trying to sell more CART on Spreadfair's suspended stocks page at 35p. No bites. I think CART is bust.

i'm getting ready to short this to 0p, be wary, the leach is about.


£25000 profit so long as they go bust.

[richardbonny] 02/10/2007 17:08

Simon Cawkwell - are you a buyer or seller at the 50p you refer to? It looks bust to me.

Darker & darker at Carter & Carter...

[gta5] 02/10/2007 16:53

Hmmm....

I cant say that anyone is too happy at this point...

what does surprise me is the recent acquisition, the sudden drop 2 weeks ago with the clarification that C&C had no knowledge of reasons for the drop....

And today they drop a bomb basically saying that they have no idea where they stand financially....and that's after months negotiating with the banks... WTF??!?!?!

No doubt we as shareholders are in for a bad deal.. regardless of the next move... but how is this possible??

where does first financial fit into all this?

Thoughts?

GTA.

I bet Mrs Carter aint too happy.

[egoi] 02/10/2007 16:27

8.5 million or 10 million, doesn't make a lot of odds if the debt is hundreds of million.

[bustedflush1] 02/10/2007 16:26

I am led to believe that the profit figure is more like £8.5 million rather than the expected £10 million.

You see I am a glass half full sort of person ;-)

[smelgy] 02/10/2007 15:53

.......admitted things don't look that good, but they aren't suddenly going to announce they've made no profits at all.

There is a warning that it won't be £10m. One has to be optimistic in life. If it's kerput then it's kerput. Probably worse to be an employee than a shareholder in the long run.

[marycurer] 02/10/2007 15:53

You can currently buy these on the grey market at 35p at £100pp

[davius] 02/10/2007 15:43

As far as likely scenarios go, that one is way down on the list...

[monte1] 02/10/2007 15:40

Dream on Sarah.

[sarahbudd] 02/10/2007 15:39

Just a thought........ any chance that they wanted suspension so that there wasn't immediate land slide like there was before and that they may come back with new funding, new CEO and everything in the garden rosy?:-/

[monte1] 02/10/2007 14:33

"negotiating with the banks" - I presume that is a euphinism for 'begging'. Probably chained himself to the counter and refusing to move until they get a loan. Oh oh here comes security with the bolt cutters.

[markie7] 02/10/2007 14:30

I think I said at one point these were either worth £3 or 50p - and was derided.

looks like 50p. I'll admit I was long at about 85p for a while; it rose to 120 - I hung on - then Bang - down through the stop and out.

c'est la vie

[topinfo] 02/10/2007 14:24

Smelgy. How can you put a positive spin on todays news, its disasterous. Temp Insane, you must have been insane to buy 10k worth of these. I would say you have probably lost the lot old chap. I cant ever see these coming back to mkt, if the do they will be more like at 20-30p. Hope that helps.!!!
