Might be worth looking at how busy they are getting all of a sudden

[senor_sensible] 28/2/2014 13:46

Problem with informing the shareholder is you also inform the competition :-) As kooba says, can't be any downside. And I am doing ok :-)

[lr4850] 28/2/2014 13:42

Have DAN still got the Chinese sportswear company NAIBU or similar sounding? Trouble with DAN is they don't update. They were touting this one as a mega deal, but as far as we know DAN may have not brought them to England after all.

As kooba and others say it is still about translating it for the benefit of shareholders and not just management.

[kooba] 28/2/2014 13:39

Well there sure ain't much downside!!Suggest you look at the accounts before getting too excited.

[senor_sensible] 28/2/2014 13:38

Also, this has the benefit of having lots of upside due to increase in M&A especially in China. this is just the start of it, >>2p on the cards within the next couple of years, I will hold :-)

[senor_sensible] 28/2/2014 13:34

one or two, but I try not to discuss across the boards.

[lr4850] 28/2/2014 13:20

Hats off to you S-s and here's to you making loads of money. A long way for me to go though until break even.

PS any other oversold shares on your radar?

[senor_sensible] 28/2/2014 13:18

IR, IMO it is well oversold. :-)

[lr4850] 28/2/2014 13:13

Wow

What's happening. Now the biggest percentage riser on ADVFN front page. Not complaining though as nice to see blue after months of red or no movement.

Welcome to AIM, I never mentioned trust. With AIM companies my allegiance to the company is also a lot shorter than the BOD allegiance to the shareholders, I try and ride the waves rather than get involved with managing/maintaining the ocean, just saying that Surfs up at the moment.....

[lr4850] 28/2/2014 10:30

Agree kooba.

Many of us on here contacted the FCA about these "discrepancies" and nothing has been done. Not only that, they continue to act as they were a law unto themselves.

The only solace I can get is O'Shea has many shares and although he has more than compensated himself through the company; he too will be feeling as though he has lost on his investment in his companies own shares.

[kooba] 28/2/2014 10:15

So they ate the balance sheet ( cash and m's in monetised quindell) when no fees coming in....and you recommend trusting them to align their interests with external shareholders now....bit of a leap of faith.On the basis that the company gives shareholders the minimum of info at the last possible moment without being suspended and has serially failed to advise shareholders of deteriorating trading in a timely manner I'm afraid does not convince me that they can be trusted and treat outside shareholders with any respect.Hoping they pop up on a new bunch giving them the benefit so I can exit stage left...I see no future as a listed entity.

[senor_sensible] 28/2/2014 09:46

They can only divi amongst themselves within reason, after that the authorities get involved. As I said, keeping the BOD pockets filled during the last few years will cause some anger amongst current investors, but for anyone buying in at this level worth a punt IMO. Get the upside....

[kooba] 28/2/2014 09:41

I understand they are taking at least 2 companies round raising money this week...not big amounts £2m kind of thing...even if they ever do make money it will be divied out amongst themselves as usual....that is if they can make money again.They did have a few quindell options left when I last checked...not many but I expect they have been siphoned off somewhere.

[senor_sensible] 28/2/2014 09:00

looks like it is trying to go up again.
All I know is that Asia are going to rely on the IPO market for the next 5-6 years. Any company that can service that market (even a very small share of that market)will make plenty of cash. Small brokerages which might seem oversold offer a good way of getting in on some of the action IMO.

If yuo look at some of the clients DAN is now servicing you can see they are involves in more M&A activity, couple this with the fact the company income has tripple bottomed in line with the market and I would say most of the downside has gone.

Yes the current crop of investors might have been paying the salaries for the last couple of years but that is what is required when the market shuts up shop. IMO they should stick around for the upside now. :-)

Hey Senor

Do you know something here, or did your buys push it up??

[lr4850] 27/2/2014 16:11

What? The first up day (if it sticks that is) for 6 months!!

[lr4850] 26/2/2014 22:20

An eloquent summing up Nod.

I am sure O'Shea and Wilson reading this will recall their duty to shareholders and continue to ignore them completely ?

[nod] 26/2/2014 21:55

Another 2.77 million shares picked up on the cheap.Will it be Shea again?This is a rort.Report plenty of negative comments and a negative forward looking statements. Take all cash out of the company in bonuses and excessive payouts to a consultant of half a million per year. Buy a useless Middle East company (MENA) from one of your business partners (the same consultant and private venture partner) to get rid of another chunk of cash. Almost immediately you shut down MENA because it was worthless and simply a rort to divert cash.Follow the above guidelines and you can pick up a listed company for nothing.

[senor_sensible] 26/2/2014 08:15

My buy orders are placed, yes this is very weak ATM and any uptick in the emerging markets I might put slighter higher buy order on the table. Chinese are throttling debt, therefore the only was SMEs can raise money is via IPOs. there will be exponential rise in Chinese IPO market over the coming 5 years and they will need the support of brokers to raise that cash. Hopefully DAN can get a slice. RATE AS A SPECULATIVE BUY. But understand those who were buying at 2p+ might not be too impressed with the company.

[lr4850] 25/2/2014 18:57

S_s

How much weakness do you want? The share price here is on it's knees. BTW the MENA on their website was nothing but a personal cash cow for the chumleys Wilson and O'Shea. What beats me is why people still for for these shysters?

[senor_sensible] 25/2/2014 18:21

Lots of Asian ipo activity on the horizon, dan might get a slice. might buy some on weakness. Provide a little liquidity

[kooba] 25/2/2014 16:10

Even with the best IPO market for many years...almost getting dot com like this sack can't seem to raise jack...totally busted flush and it appears utterly illiquid.Glad the company spent that million on retaining staff...shame they can't cover their costs in record markets let alone make a return for shareholders.
