Posted at 26/1/2010 20:55 by buenos aires The Stock Market has all the information on your investment betting on computer ,so its not too difficult to subbotage your investments by quite legal means .So like Tesco and their loyalty card ,they know what you buy and change their strategy according to any given situation. How many times have you bought shares and then the stock price goes down ,coincidence - hardly. If you want to make money on the stock market you need to become an opportunist and not an investor. The first thing you need to ask is how safe is your money ? . FTSE 100 is as safe as it will ever get ,but you need to buy at rock bottom prices ,so SIT on your money (invested to earn good interest) and wait till the next mini crash ,it could be tomorrow or in 10 years time ,but it gives you a ridiculous advantage . If you need to gamble ,then limit to £1000 per year, if you are any good ,then you should be able to turn it into £2000 . If you are not much good then it should teach a good lesson and the £1000 is well spend. Let the clever people go long and short ,or whatever other else they do ,but it will be at the fund and pension investors expense and not yours.. NEARLY ALL POSTERS ON ADVFN ARE DODGY AND WORK FOR THE MARKET,TRYING TO PERSUADE YOU TO BUY ,SELL OR HOLD . |
Posted at 21/1/2010 22:52 by buenos aires WARNING TO ALL GENUINE GAMBLERS ON THE DODGY STOCK MARKET.Just in case any of you have not figured out how the Advfn bb works ,well let me explain . 1. Think of the Stock Market as a dodgy casino run by people a bit worse than the Mafia. 2. Take a quoted co on the Stock Exchange ,one that needs a "bit of marketing". 3. Make a title on the bb board ,make up aliases ,perhaps 10 or so ,then pretend that they are investors in the co . They may well be ,but their job is to persuade ordinary members of the public to either buy , hold or sell as the amount of shares fluctuate with the buying and selling . In other words there has to be a buyer for every share sold or bought . So the emphasis changes with the instructions from the dealer/brokers. ie ,If the brokers have too many shares on their books ,they give the order to talk the co up ,and make you buy ,and vice-versa. 4. If there is impending news from the co ,then they talk the co up or down to suit the situation. ( To me this is market manipulation ,and nobody seems to be too bothered ,its only small private investors,who cares!) 5. The point being that we are all influenced by what we see or hear to some extend ,so really a warning should be shown by the FSA on all financial bb boards ,that the posters are not to be trusted at all . It may seem obvious not to take people at their word ,but politicians are a good example ,of how ordinary people are manipulated for an end result. 6. So ejoy the banter and sometimes useful information ,but be very sceptical ,it's probably all a charade ,and you end up losing your money. 7. Once their "work" is done they all disapear . 8. There may even be companies that don't even exist,but are there for other purposes .Is it any wonder most people have gone into property ,you can see it ,touch it ,smell it ,and you always know what it's worth within reason . 9. You can make money from the market but you need to think not as an investor but as an opportunist ,and be prepared to sit on your money for a long time ,until a compelling chance comes your way. If the FSA had a leaflet warning people of the dodgy nature of investing on the stock market , before they are allowed to buy shares ,but dont hold your breath.! Shares can go down as well as up, statement is absolutely useless. |
Posted at 20/1/2010 10:44 by buenos aires A LESSON LEARNED HERE ,INVESTING IN THE STOCK MARKET.1.The stock Market is mainly FIXED. 2.The companies' boards have their own AGENDA. 3.The FSA , TAKEOVER PANEL ,serve the interests of the Stock Market,so you are on YOUR own. 4.The companies use the Rules,of the Stock Market to their own ends. 5.There are more THIEVES (in value ) in the Financial Markets than in prisons. 6.ADVFN is a tool of the Stock Market. 7.The Market uses money from ,hapless investors ,policy holders and individuals to pay themselves inflated salaries. 8. The returns on fund policies,on average, are barely better than long term interest deposits. 9. There is not ONE single unbiased source to access company accounts. 10.Stupid governments havent got a clue what the reality is.( Please dont regulate us,think of all the absolutely useless jobs that the Stock Market will lose ,like offshore ,no tax ,hedge fund companies.) 11. All investment advisory places are in my opinion dodgy to a large extent. 12. Some kind of transparency can be made ,by simply having independent AUDITED accounts every 6 months. 13. Independent valuation of a company should be in the accounts every 6 months.( Hardly too difficult ,because if an annual audit is "fudged" ,then it maybe 2 years before the truth is known,and by then its all "white washed". If you have any more to add ,please feel free to post. |
Posted at 06/1/2010 18:06 by buenos aires AndreSpoke to the Takeover Panel recently and was told that behind the scenes agreements by the board and up to 6 other major investors is allowed ,and there is nothing the small shareholders can do ,except vote to oppose this cliquey deal. The Takeover Panel serves the interests of the institutions ,but not the small shareholders,( of course they will deny this) . Apparently the FSA make up the rules. That explains a lot. Any new private investors need to be aware that if we dont band together ,we will be at the mercy of everyone. Cybit have been reasonable as they could have taken us to the cleaners ,if they so chose. ps. Andre , I know you are part of the market's propaganda machinery . |
Posted at 21/12/2009 17:47 by geminian I am wondering if Bidco have got wind of the pending "NO" votes, as I had someone stating to be from Bidco ring me today to find out how I was likely to be voting.As I have indicated on the board I said my vote is no/against the offer. Hopefully, although my holding is very small/insignificant, added as a cumulative total with other no voting investors we might get excess of 26 - 30% of the shares, enough to block the deal. |
Posted at 21/12/2009 09:19 by buenos aires There must be a very good reason why Cybit has embarked on this "scheme " .My personal opinion ,and is ONLY A GUESS is as follows . 1. Cybit wants to merge/takeover with Minor planet systems . 2. A plan is devised to merge the 2 cos ,and eject the non institution investors. 3. It needs careful planning as there are dangers everywhere and no one can be trusted. 4. So the plan is to have a "scheme of arrangement" in place to enable a satisfactory conclusion. A. Offer Cybit shareholders 75p per share ,and approx 10% will sell right away. These shares are mopped up . No hedging is allowed and every shareholder has to make themselves known if they have 1% or more . ( ambush less likely ) B. The "scheme" is easily approved at the AGM. All shares are now "scheme shares" and are bound by rules set out by the board and their advisors . C. An announcement is made that Cybit is buying MPS in a 3 for 1 share swap. D. The enlarged co is now worth 75p + 33.3% ,which is £1 per share . F. With the help of the institutions holders of MPS ,this is comfortably approved . G. The small shareholders of Cybit and MPS are courteously shown the door and are thanked for their investment in the 2 cos. The above is ONLY AN OPINION ,so please make up your own minds. IF YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE NO ,SIGN AND DATE BOTH CARDS ,CROSS THE BOX OF YOUR CHOICE ,AND SEND BY REGISTERED POST ONLY £4.95P |
Posted at 11/12/2009 06:41 by sdavis Good morning all....I was Christmas Shopping yesterday.........go So what do I think? Part of me is relieved that 75p is on the table at last. However I am bitterly diapppointed by the lack of vision and understanding by both small investors and institutions. Here is the rub: take a look at the last accounts. Approx £2m profit AFTER A FINANCE CHARGE OF £1.8m. Now, find someone who can finance the lease book to bring it in-house. Short term hit on profits (see all previous posts on revenue recognition policy). But in 3 years and the Fianance Charge has gone!!! Add to that the increase in business as funding is no longer a problem!! So the potential profit for somone who invests cash is £3.8m on last years figures. Growth company, good management, lease book, diversified portfolio.... give me a price for that. Personally I think 75p is far too cheap. £1.25 to £1.50 seems more like it to me. |
Posted at 02/10/2009 06:18 by tehart from July but not seen it posted here beforeFor years a company close to me here in Oxfordshire, Transense Technology (LSE: TRT), has been developing tyre pressure monitors. These alert truck drivers when the air pressure in the vehicle's tyres falls below the manufacturer's recommended level. Sounds like a great idea. And yet as far as I know, Transense is yet to sell one of its monitors or earn a royalty payment from a licensee. Meanwhile, tyre pressure monitors are already standard in the United States, and produced in the millions by major suppliers. This illustrates one problem for followers of small companies in the motor industry. The problem is that there are some massive 'Tier 1' suppliers to the vehicle assemblers. Sooner or later, these big players manage to gain control any new product. That's not to say that there aren't opportunities for penny share investors, though... A sector with great opportunity... One area that is very interesting is telematics. This is a fusion of 'telecommunications' and 'informatics' and involves not just the gathering of vehicle information but also its transmission to, and use by, a remote monitor. The original purpose of telematics was to keep track on the geographical whereabouts of a vehicle. It allows fleet operators to instantly locate their vehicles and marshal them in the most efficient manner. But as with any good product, telematics has created a number of other benefits. For example, it can enable the monitoring of fuel consumption and prevent a driver from using the company van to slope off to the pub... Telematics is an industry that has long held promise for investors, but has so far flattered to deceive. The sector has thrown up one of stock market's biggest losers of recent years - Minorplanet (LSE: MPS), which has seen its share price sink from £10 to 3.5p. But last week two penny share companies reported results that threw renewed light upon the industry. These were Cybit Holdings (LSE: CYH) and a real tiddler that I visited in the picturesque Dorset town of Shaftesbury, Trakm8 (LSE: TRAK) . Cybit's telematics systems are deployed on fishing vessels and offshore oil installations. Inevitably Health and Safety has entered the picture, in the guise of the Working Time Directive and Duty of Care legislation which both prevent drivers from spending excessive periods of time behind the wheel. Now governments have cottoned on to the possibilities of integrating telematics data into road pricing schemes. Meanwhile, according to John Watkins of Trakm8, every vehicle will eventually be fitted with a telematics system. But he admits that while this could be within twenty years it could take a lot longer. For one thing he points out that every engine is different, and every fleet operator's management systems are different also. So it is not enough to simply put a standard black box under the bonnet. These have to be designed for the vehicle and then the transmitted information has to be integrated into the user's software. It was its willingness to work constructively with E-On, rather than simply selling it an off-the-shelf system, that enabled Trakm8 to win a contract with the utility giant earlier this year. Here's the real 'game changer' for telematics But what will really change the game for telematics, in Watkins' view, is the ability to monitor not just the location of a vehicle but the condition of its engine. Every modern car, he explained, has a diagnostics system, which collects information from various electronic control units and uses this to control the running of the engine. When you take your car for a service the first thing that the garage does is to plug its computer into the diagnostics socket, and pull off a report of the engine's behaviour. But this information can also be transmitted to a remote monitor allowing, for instance, a fleet manager to judge the condition of his vehicle engines, pick up faults early and plan the most efficient maintenance schedule. Watkins should know because for the last decade he has with great success run Omitec, a Devizes company that helps car makers to devise ever smarter electronic systems. He was installed as chief executive of Trakm8 last September and is confident of steering it back to profitability. I'm not looking to invest in this right now. You should beware the serious lack of trading liquidity in the shares of this £1.1m tiddler and the obvious possibility that it will save the £175,000 annual cost of a stock market listing and return to the private sector. This does not seem to be an issue at Cybit. Last week it reported a 27% profit increase and said that its recurring revenues now cover 82% of its monthly overheads. It is also ready to buy competitors who have been hit by the recession. Cybit's shares trade on under five times earnings - evidence of the investors' mistrust in this sector, but perhaps also an attractive opportunity. Telematics is a rapidly changing technology. It's a sector that will provide some outstanding penny share opportunities in the future. The company that creates the right product that gets picked by the giants of the motor industry will make some investors rich. I'm on the look out. |
Posted at 16/9/2009 07:47 by masurenguy The total value of the CEO's shareholding (circa 3%) is only around half of his gross pay packet last year. Not a significant investment on his part and hardly reflects any real downside risk for him either. When your pay packet is 5% of the market cap and virtually 25% of the pretax profit, why would you need to expose yourself to any kind of risk by making a really significant investment in your companys shares. At things stand at the moment it must be really cool for the Chairman & CEO to see that the external investors are taking virtually all of the speculative risk without even the benefit of a small dividend yield. Meanwhile the CEO collects a bonus of circa £200k or more for achieving or exceeding a 'mystery performance threshold' and plaudits for a performance that is 'in line with a market expectation which nobody is able to define either'. I would like to see much greater transparency and accountability before I invested here. There is a very strong case for the five largest institutional investors, who collectively own 33% of the shares, to appoint at least one NXD to monitor and vet executive pay & bonuses and to ensure that the Board is able to explain to the shareholders exactly what figures represent market expectations prior to results being published ! |
