Agree 100%.They have almost £750,000 cash coming in each and every month from sale of casual dating and the online dating industry is both evolving and expanding.

Bought a few of these today - price seems to have bottomed out, institutional investors adding to their holdings, should be cash rich after asset sales, 3p dividend already promised for the summer.

I'm sure it will take a while for reputation to be restored, but this is exactly the kind of company I love to buy into for recovery - bombed out, hated, but with strong recovery / growth prospects and a juicy yield.

perfect for takeover? You guys are completely deluded. The reason the market prices Cupid at cash plus receivables is because the market attributes a value of zero to its business. And with good reason. Read between the lines of the CEO interview and you will see that business has fallen off a cliff. We will have to wait for the results for me to be proven right.

Ennismore short interest still 3,38%....as of yesterday.

J777J what would this board do without you and think you may be right there,at this price perfect for take over-but on a side note I did ring Cup investor relations department and even though they did not say anything one was or another I did get the vibe that they were more positive and that we may be a positive surprise when data is released to the market in the next month or so. why they do not tell us now is a mystery but new CEO ,newdirection and the growing use of mobile apps for dating to me looks like a positive sign, GLA

With £40 million cash due and £10 million cash last seen one has to wonder if the end game is Cupid itself becomes the bid target.

The current price means the entire business is for free.

Back up through the 60s now imo. Naff-all stock on offer at 61p. :-)

You keep repeating the same nonsense which contradicts industry forecasts.

You add precisely zero value to the thread,or any other as far as I can see.

The vast majority of your posts involves obscure resource stocks.Hardly someone I would turn to for investment advice.

[bubble pricker] 28/1/2014 10:31

J777J, I do not "plug" resource stocks. Like everybody else, I comment on different boards on different companies. In any case, whatever comments I may have made on other companies has no relevance to Cupid. It seems you resort to personal attacks when you run out of arguments. How about addressing my contention that CUP may have cash, but dire future business prospects?

[spottedlurcher] 27/1/2014 14:53

long may it last! More trades on ISDX as well! Maybe things are looking up here and I would think it is almost time for an update , long past due! GLA

[goldie40] 27/1/2014 14:20

up on a bad day also a good sign

[bubble pricker] 27/1/2014 01:50

The bulls on here just focus on the cash position and one time sale proceeds. They ignore the dire prospects for future revenue.

[j777j] 24/1/2014 15:55

How nice for you.Others see differently.

[mattjos] 23/1/2014 21:57

I see this one is still in a long term Stage 2 downtrend.
As I tried to say when this IPO'd as Easydate .. it looked a mirror of Mel Morris's Udate ... he trousered many millions when that IPO'd on the NASDAQ .. it subsequently withered away to nada.

Mel, ever shrewd though, stuck £500k into Midasplayer (amongst other ventures) and that is due to IPO on the NASDAQ this year .. Midasplayer wrote the Candy Crush game (whatever that is).

If he's selling it to the markets, that's the time to get out.

Directors here have done same .. remains to be seen if anything survives from this mess as the space is crowded and new entrants join in every week virtually. At present the figures suggest they are having to spend very hard to gain new customers. Gross margin is pants.

[j777j] 22/1/2014 05:15

From a man that plugs loss making resource stocks,I don't think we need a lecture.

You are clearly just clueless.

I would expect the new Ceo to "kitchen sink" the results,so a line can be drawn in the sand for the company to continue it's rehabilitation.

[bubble pricker] 22/1/2014 02:28

You all keep talking about the cash. What is the point of cash if there is no FUTURE REVENUE? The quote from the interview says it all. Revenue is rapidly declining. Whenever companies talk about "customer research" and "rebranding" it means they are not selling. All that cash you are talking about will just get gobbled up in marketing.

[megsta] 21/1/2014 20:07

Was expecting CUP to have released trading update in Dec/Jan. Anyone know if this due?

[spottedlurcher] 21/1/2014 18:08

Excellent post J7777J and I unlike many resource stocks that have yet to even bring one thing to the market , CUP has money in the bank and has up and running sites with a growing client base and a new leader who I believe will turn this company around ,Bubble are you shorting CUP? LOL and GLA

[mynumber] 20/1/2014 19:25

I bought a bit more today as it usually bounces from around this level. Good luck all.
