Btw erik- John French stepped down from AMU board today, "due to an increased workload with my other companies". I assume he primarily meant Croma, but maybe CLM too. Time will tell whether his hard work yields benefits for shareholders...

The 'Most Feeble Ramp of the Day' award goes to........ take a look at PGI. (ramp)

[wiganer] 12/12/2005 15:57

CLM might pick up some work from the Hertfordshire fire claims?
Or do I win most feeble ramp of the day award?

This is a great stock to use to offset CGT imo. and yes maybe one of the small fish in the big fishes tank will make an offer in cash at around 3p per share.

[wiganer] 28/11/2005 13:22

I'm in a similar position (though my holding is fairly modest- about £3k worth) and I'm holding on. I don't need the tied up money any time soon so can afford to be patient. If you look at the long-term chart you'll note the run from 1.5p to almost 4p in late 2004. There's no reason similar couldn't happen again with such an illiquid small cap. As regards fundies/prospects, both seem decent enough, if unspectacular at present, which hopefully means we are at least at the floor.
Finally, there's always the possibility of a takeover. I'd have though CLM might be a tasty little morsel for a bigger fish at some point.

I have just noticed that I have quite a large holding in this company at the wrong price. Any views as to dumping it or hold on would be apreciated...with a reason would be gratefull if the latter.

[eriktherock] 23/11/2005 19:49

I only hold to offset CGT.

[wayneb] 19/11/2005 14:24

And it looks like the price is heading south again.

[wiganer] 01/11/2005 15:27

Agreed. Slowly slowly catchee monkey.

[sand dollar] 01/11/2005 14:56

Yes its all very encouraging,i don't expect fireworks but a steady move north over the next few months will do nicely.

[wiganer] 01/11/2005 11:07

I also note that someone seems to have bought a sizeable stake (about 0.7%) in the company yesterday...

[wiganer] 01/11/2005 11:06

I particularly liked this bit:

"Barry Whyte and his team at The Claims People Group have a compelling business model, work well with our people and have proven themselves to be a reliable partner."

The Claims People Group Plc


Claims People Announces Partnership with Capita Insurance Services


Following the announcement made on the 26 October, The Claims People Group Plc
announced today that it has agreed an alliance with Capita Insurance Services.
Under the arrangement the Company will provide volume loss adjusting services
and support to Capita Insurance Services' corporate and complex loss business,
Teceris. As part of this development, six volume Liability claims handlers will
transfer from Teceris to The Claims People Group in the next few weeks.

"Dermot Joyce, Executive Director, Capita Insurance Services says: "This deal
reflects a general market acceptance that volume and complex loss adjusting are
distinct and that they require substantially different approaches. Teceris
is committed to being the best run and best qualified corporate and complex loss
adjuster in the UK. The Claims People Group will be an alliance partner in
the volume loss adjusting arena to support us with our existing workload as well
as work alongside us as we grow our business. Barry Whyte and his team at The
Claims People Group have a compelling business model, work well with our people
and have proven themselves to be a reliable partner. This is a sensible and
mutually beneficial move for both firms."

John French, Chairman of The Claims People Group said "It is a great privilege
to be working in partnership with the UK's No1 Business Process Outsourcing
company. Whilst it is not possible to calculate any effect on trading in the
current financial year, we anticipate that this arrangement will be of growing
benefit in the years ahead"

Yup, the MMs couldn't hold the bid below 2p. Question now is, will they widen the spread back up next week by raising the offer, and will the mystery 250k buyer chase?

[davidlloyd] 28/10/2005 18:05

Your still supposed to be asleep.....Another penny on bid to go yet.


Off topic but for info (and DYOR etc etc) BRTR announced just after close that there is a possible MBO being considered at a 'reasonable premium' . Difficult one to call (quite wide spread too) but might be interesting first thing Monday morning IMO. I do hold them by the way and hope to make up some paper losses.

[wiganer] 28/10/2005 18:00

Another 250,000 near the close. This time at full offer.

[wiganer] 28/10/2005 10:12

Having opened the spread up to 43% the MMs have effectively eliminated PI interest in this one for the time being. Wake me up when the bid hits 3p.

[wiganer] 27/10/2005 09:45

I think we can safely assume the former. Good news.

[davidlloyd] 27/10/2005 09:14

The spread is the problem with this one. I was out due to cash call needs last month. Probably missing chance to double money. Just my luck.

Does 'Exclusive' mean CLM the only supplier of services to Capita or Captia the only customer of CLM???

Big difference.

DL

[eriktherock] 26/10/2005 18:51

The main reason I now hold CLM is for future off-setting of Capital gains tax! Lol.

[sand dollar] 26/10/2005 18:11

Its good news, but the way this share goes I'm not convinced it will move the share price - hope I'm wrong.

[wiganer] 26/10/2005 18:09

mo- those that will be interested will pick up on it anyways

[supreme mo] 26/10/2005 18:08

Yes it is, shame that it couldn't have been announced during the market hours where more people would have seen it.

[wiganer] 26/10/2005 18:08

Well, it sure ain't bad news.
