Cellcast Share Discussion Threads

[spurberry] 24/12/2007 08:07

prsimo or anyone else.

I have been tempted to glance over here as it sounds like a good reward share albeit high risk, I need to obviously read up before investing if I decide to and always do, but I wanted a quick synopsis of why the big drop from April 06 and what news is expected for people to be optimistic of seeing 10p by Feb.

Sorry guys, but thanks for your help in advance.

OK mate - won't argue with that!

Holding 200k now - 2008 will be a good year!

[james t kirk] 21/12/2007 10:59

You swine, it was your 20k that raised the offer to 3.89p, guess I should have been quicker! 10p by June seems a tad pessimistic, I'd say 10p by Feb with some good updates.

[philjeans] 21/12/2007 10:54

Me too James - got a tiny top up of 20k for 3.75p!

What a bargain - will be 10p by June.

Fantastic prospects - will be tipped in the papers for NY for sure.

[2prsimo] 20/12/2007 20:39

Yep, just seen it on the website, thanks Recto.

2Prismo,

The announcement is on their website, not worthy of an RNS as doesnt really impact revenue (yet!).

[barnsey] 20/12/2007 20:16

Recent purchase and this statement give confidence.

Andrew Wilson, Chief Executive of Cellcast, said: "The Directors of Cellcast are very pleased to be making this deeper commitment to the Company. The speed with which interactive digital entertainment is being adopted by consumers across the globe, in particular among mobile phone users, is reinforcing the already significant growth opportunity for the Company and its proven business model. Investing £280,000 of our own money is testament to our strong belief in both Cellcast's strategy and the outlook."

[2prsimo] 20/12/2007 19:55

Bizarre Editor Alex Godfrey Appointed Controller Of SUMO.tv

19 December 2007

LONDON – Bizarre Magazine Editor Alex Godfrey has been appointed Controller of SUMO.tv, owned by the global interactive digital broadcaster, Cellcast plc (AIM: CLTV).

Godfrey will help build the SUMO.tv brand in both the UK (Sky channel 144) and overseas. Key responsibilities include commissioning programmes, supervising the schedule and output, building the brand, and finding new talent. SUMO.tv is the world's first media network to seamlessly integrate user-generated content (UGC) into television programming, internet and mobile services, using its proprietary technical services architecture.

SUMO.tv Group Creative & Editorial Director James Brown, said: "I'm delighted to bring Alex Godfrey on board. He was the first person I thought of when looking for someone to oversee the day to day content of the channel and website. At Bizarre he managed an extremely profitable magazine with content that was far removed from the mainstream. SUMO.tv's exciting and challenging short form content is perfect for a man of his contacts, experience and interests."

Godfrey added: "SUMO.tv is already producing genuinely pioneering television, and it's exciting to be working on such a creative and innovative brand. I look forward to building on the current success of SUMO.tv and its exceptional integrated presence on television, online and via mobile services."

Godfrey brings a wealth of editorial experience to the role having held the position of editor of Bizarre Magazine since 2003. He has also been Deputy Editor of Hotdog Magazine and Film Editor of Jack Magazine, and was a freelance writer for The Guardian and the BBC.

SUMO.tv now has over 3,000 alternative online channels created by its users wanting to show their content to a worldwide audience. The opportunity to appear on the MySUMO television show is building not only a UK community but also attracting content submissions from a fast-growing international audience, including viewers in Japan, Australia, Brazil and Chile.

SUMO.tv, a finalist at this year's Mobile & Internet TV Awards at MIPCOM in Cannes, achieved 25% growth in web traffic in Q3 -- over 5 million unique users visit the site each month. Its Alexa web ranking now exceeds that of UK broadcasters Five, ITV and Channel 4.

One piddling trade yesterday of 25,000 and it falls. Totally agree that next year this has the potential to be a 10 bagger. Seriously unloved, but everything is in the mix for a favourable 2008. All about the right management now.

[james t kirk] 15/12/2007 09:36

CLTV has got to be one of the sure fire bets for 2008, it's so badly undervalued now. Not slightly bothered by fall again Friday on one small trade. Looking forward to 10 bagger next year..

[2prsimo] 10/12/2007 19:26

Just been looking back through the director dealings RNS from the 26th. Very positive. I didn't realise but Craven took another 4,250,000. He now has a good amount and must have a high degree of confidence he will see a substantial return.

A few on here were moaning over the summer that the director's weren't dipping into their own pockets. Well they have done now and that for me could signal the turning point. You just don't part with that sort of money, if you think the company is a dead duck.

[metaphysicalman] 10/12/2007 14:48

I see the Sumo.tv Alexa ranking is approaching new highs after a bit of a dip in the second half of November. The latest weekly average ranking was 2,793.

I'm pretty sure that the value of a website like this increases exponentially as the ranking rises, rather than just linearly (but I haven't got the research to hand to prove it!). If management drive a good bargain, the Sumo.tv business must be worth multiples of the current £3m market cap. I just hope that they can realise this value for us shareholders - now that they have invested another £280k themselves, I am confident that their interests are clearly aligned with ours!

Although Sumo could be a great product, I feel the technology behind tvibe.com (another world first) coulmd be massive and make cellcast the "google" of interactive tv.

Imagine being able to record programmes remotely (e.g. on the train, in the car etc) via your mobile or laptop.

Priceless !

Currently tvibe.com is undergoing Beta trials, I think we can ewpect an announcement within the next couple of months.

Welcome 2Prsimo, lets hope out intuition on this one is correct!

[2prsimo] 06/12/2007 15:17

the analyst

Dipped my toe in here recently. Have kept my eye on a possible turnaround and think we may have reached that now. The director purchases were a very big nod to the market. £90,000 in two cases. I believe James Brown will make all the difference to Sumo. Not saying the present management wouldn't have pulled something big off themselves, but Brown is a proven winner.

The Headstart loan being deferred until April is also encouraging. I'm expecting more distribution deals in the coming weeks, as per the recent RNS. When you consider what each part of the business could be worth next year, particularly Sumo, then the current market cap looks very cheap.

[the analyst] 04/12/2007 23:55

Yet another good find RV, cheers.

I have to say, I haven't been this optimistic about the potential of a microcap for a long time. Of course, the risk is huge, but I really think that the potential gains are starting to look very very big indeed.

The recent placing, director purchases and the fact Headstart have agreed not to sell any stock have improved the outlook imo.

The increased risk, though, is the possibility that the concert party could make a take-over approach for as little as 8-10p per share. Not a terrible outcome for people buying at these levels, but I'm hoping for much more in the long-term.

Would be interested in your expectations

Cheers
