Will 'Poster of the week' award become a poisoned chalice
in the way that footballs''Manager of the month' is?

Bob hope for your sake & my sake the share price fall.I knew mate its my luck whenever i go short the stock price goes up.lol

[uncle-bob] 08/11/2001 10:16

Erm.. up 7% in a flash on hardly any volume. Why, those pesky MMs. Capital Radio up a lot today as well, perhaps there's some connection.

I'm going to hide in my swamp until the price sees sense.

truffle - lots of trades appear to be private transactions at near the mid-price. With no corresponding RNS announcements, we remain in the dark as to what's going on there.

FY results are out on the 22nd November.

CHS will post a loss, due to New Media activities. Whether that'll hit the price, now there's hopefully more awareness of the stock, we shall see.

Rival Scottish Radio recently said they don't expect a pick-up in radio advertising for some time yet. From Questor: "Finance director John Bowman warned that the industry is only halfway through the current downturn and foreshadowed at least another nine difficult months."

Uncle Bob you are, short jedi "nom de plume" maybe,friend of OBI-WAN certainly,
master of you are, universe, guru, some say, and why the fxxk I`m talking like
this I`ll never know.
Why do I get the feeling there`s perhaps more to CHS than at first thought,
couple of decent sells yesterday,good sized trades today, could have been
either buys or sells, nothing you would call normal trading,this share behaves
like nothing I`ve been in before. Any thoughts??

Post indeed classic this is. Bonkers are you.

[uncle-bob] 06/11/2001 08:35

marting - thanks. It's being a stubborn b*gger though, isn't it!

[marting1] 05/11/2001 16:29

Uncle Bob,

looks like a bit of action at last - somebody's dumped 2million quids worth...
btw - congratulations on winning the poster of the week, well deserved!!

Truff - Precisely because there are no trades. When the trades finally appear, I believe they are more likely to be sells than buys.

I posted this on another thread:

CHS are into everything media-related: Music, Radio, TV production, internet, Book publishing. They were formed in 1968 so should probably be making a profit by now. But they are spread too thin - and are vulnerable to the downturn in advertising. Most of their revenues are from the UK, specifically from radio and TV. In September they announced radio revenues below expectations and the stock took a beating. They also announced some writing off of internet investments (hence the big expected loss this year). It's recovered strongly but I can't see their problems going away - the advertising downturn has yet to hit the UK like it has hit the USA.

PE 203, next results will show ~£8m loss, after that in 2002 PE will be 103. I think that's unsustainable.

Agree with me you will, or short you should not be!

I wish the short jedi would explain how this share is going to tumble
when there are no trades, I guess he knows something I don`t.
Still short and hoping!!

[uncle-bob] 02/11/2001 16:32

That'll explain the torrent of buys coming in then - not!

arif - I use a spread bet (with IG Index), so not sure.

[arifmoghal] 02/11/2001 14:28

could you recommend a broker that allows shorting? thanks

[lurgy] 02/11/2001 13:18

That was easy!
(Hope it's easy money too ~)

[uncle-bob] 02/11/2001 09:52

Much wisdom is there, young Lurgy. Over is your training. Jedi you have become.
