I just paid 1.585 for 1k£ worth probably show as a sell.

a re-organisation in the shareholdings at the top.

I like the sound of this line:

"The deal adds to a host of recent acquisitions by ABC TV Australia from the Fireworks International catalogue, including the third season of primetime family drama series Heartland (18 x one-hour HD), the compelling documentary special I Know What I Saw, and multi-platform content such as the Streamy Award winning HD drama Valemont (available in multiple formats including: 5 x half hours, 35 x 2-3' and 1 x 100' TV movie) and the critically acclaimed sci-fi fantasy series Riese (HD, 10 x 9'-14')."

Over the last 3 years I have been buying in small tranches every few months to bring my average down from 20p to 5p. Finger crossed and good luck to you all.

I first tipped my toes in the back in Aug 2003 (Winchester Ent) and paid 40p!

I note that Works Media (WKS) have been suspended !

[moneymagnet1] 01/10/2010 11:09

Sod's law me thinks. that sell should not effect the price 100000,00 was picked up at 1.94 this morning on plus and yesterday there was quite a sizable volume of buys.

[diesel] 01/10/2010 09:41

I thought that would happen as I wrote it......

[moneymagnet1] 01/10/2010 09:37

you spoke too soon diesel,

[diesel] 01/10/2010 08:59

this seems to be moving on very light volume, it's the lack of selling that is most significant, in the recent past the slightest twitch on the bid would atrract selling knocking back any gain. So far since the move from it's all time low I don't believe there has been one sell.

[dpmcq] 30/9/2010 20:47

Me too sscrabble - dream of the 20p days, a hard lesson learnt!!

[sscrabble] 30/9/2010 17:02

Life in the old dog yet - another 8p a share and I get my money back !!

[diesel] 30/9/2010 13:35

this could end the day as one of the biggest risers, but it looks like we have little interest left on this thread.
I sold a lot of mine at around 16p and again at just under 8p, over the last couple of years I've added and now have a small bundle averaging about 3p.
The structure is in place for this share to recover quite strongly, a lot of the past few years has been blighted by their disastrous involvement with Allumination/Peacearch and that has cost this company dearly, but behind the scenes they have been carrying on developing the business, and some of those efforts seem to be showing signs of paying off. Not least is the digital platform where CFL are at the forefront of this content's distribution.
Agree Wolterix that £1m is a small market cap for a profitable business, but the debt evel is high and the interest payment weighs heavy, paying that down has to be a continued focus.

[wolterix] 30/9/2010 12:36

market cap of 1 and a bit million £ just seems too low!

[diesel] 30/9/2010 11:37

well the trading statement was much as expected although the market analysis preamble belies the more upbeat detail of how the divisions are performing.
There does appear to be some momentum building in there business growth and perhaps for the first time for ages we may be able to expect some upward movement in the share price The key here is whether nay improvement is met with sellers seeing an opportunity to exit, but so far this last week has seen a 50% improvement in the price you'll get for selling and that has attracted little volume.

[cardiffian] 29/9/2010 15:52

Just to follow up:

[cardiffian] 29/9/2010 15:43

Two new film acquisitions...'Separado!' & 'A bit of Tom Jones'.

[cardiffian] 29/9/2010 06:34

As I'm having trouble sleeping...

Another forward-thinking move by P4 perhaps...get in there first, release b4 the yanks do!

I bet 'The Tudors' sell well, even 'The Complete Series' with it's hefty price tag and remembering that xmas is only a few months away.

[cardiffian] 29/9/2010 06:03

It seems P4 are also trying to take a lead...more forward thinking perhaps !

'Scar' to be first ever 3D VOD release.

[diesel] 28/9/2010 09:46

good post Cardiff...
something is going on and tomorrow we may have some good words to support it.
The volumes have been no different for the past few weeks, next to nothing, and yet suddenly the mm's seem happy to buy at 50% higher, albeit trifling volumes.

[cardiffian] 28/9/2010 07:03

A further article re the Vuguru deal.

"The partership comes after a successful test-run with Fireworks for psych thriller The Booth and the End - we're told a major international deal for the series will be announced soon"

"Fireworks has one of the more impressive track records for selling web series abroad taking steampunk drama Riese to SyFy along with shopping fellow Streamy-winner Valemont, both of which were positioned as both short-form series and longer-form television."

I too get the feeling that from CFL's perspective, there maybe more to this deal than meets the eye. They may just have gotten a front seat in a niche market and at just the right time what with mobile internet access and webTV, both of which are still in their infancy starting to gain traction.

'Content is king'...isn't that how it goes.

I'm no expert when it comes to technology but just maybe...

All IMHO.

[diesel] 27/9/2010 12:42

nothing nre on the cfl website, I think the recent movement is down to the Vuguru deal, it is talked about as being significant, if it is enough to impress the market it should have been an RNS release!
