Lol Tara - red rag to a bull!

Well might like to now look at my share of the decade AGL and a new stock to me PFO growing at 40% low or no debt on a pe of 2.

If you feel cheated as the offer undervalues the company why werent pi's scooping up hods of the shares at 11p over the past few months ?

Of the 3 trades over the last few months there has only been sells..

If pi's don't buy stocks and the prices are stupidly low relative to real fair values ie cash and real cash-flow then they only have themselves to blame when a company gets taken over or out ...

I don't think it's just FTS at the moment investors are not behaving rationally (well even less rationally than normal!) there are lots of undervalued stocks - it's like the tech bubble in reverse..lack of volume and lack of belief understanding or greed..!! If you dont buy and hold when people are gloomy and pessimistic are you waiting for optimism to return and stocks become over valued before buying?

oilbagger, it reads to me that the offeror group is already at 90% so it's going to happen.

[oilbagger] 12/5/2011 00:06

Definitely an opportunistic offer and certainly far too low given that its assets are a multiple of the £5.4 fully diluted offer. In addition, I suspect the cash alone held by the company would come close to the price being offered.
Unless a big holder objects and asks for more I think they might get away with this steal. Given the illiquid nature of the stock the majority of holders might be glad to take the money and run.
I'll be holding on hoping for more:-)

They will give you 16p just wait a few weeks for it.

[moreforus] 11/5/2011 21:36

oak ..hang on to them ...unless you need to sell for the cash...

[oakville] 11/5/2011 21:09

So what will the price open at tomorrow? Still 13p to sell?

[corrientes] 11/5/2011 20:50

If you get asked by a broker if you'd like to participate in a placing, and aren't a regular invitee, don't. It only means they can't get their friends interested because the float is a crock.

Tara7
so you turned 23p into 32p, and in a shortish time well done !

(with the little mini-caps I am quite cautious even though I may consider a few (if buy but it sits at the same under-priced share price for 2 years then no return)....partly since private investors often only get the left overs and often don't get invited to the placing of new shares etc by mini-caps...and various deals are 'dubious' eg. Merchant House MHG)

(but I guess that without the recent 16p offer then it wouldn't have done so much....although the latent value would have probably surfaced/risen in time)

You think the recent 16p buy out price is fair ?
(I guess the offer is less than they think it is worth otherwise they wouldn't make the offer imho)
(I don't own any FTS...but any buy out should be a fair price)

[moreforus] 11/5/2011 17:29

oak ..dont sell ..just wait for your 16p...(-;

better than 9p it opened up at this morning..

[oakville] 11/5/2011 16:51

I just find it strange that the bid is 13p?

[moreforus] 11/5/2011 16:43

and some numptie sold at 14p 16k shares

so he just threw away 320 gbp!

[oakville] 11/5/2011 16:41

I am aholder and had more or less given up on it.........Am i right in saying that my shares are worth 16p each?

[tara7] 11/5/2011 14:40

Very well indeed thanks i do not tip shares but posted this stock at 23p which has paid out 16p in the form of a divi and another 16p today.

Agl and IDG also on the way up today.

Fan another of the ten i posted for 2011 up from 7p to 30p.

[markt] 11/5/2011 14:23

Tara7
What has been your overall return from FTS since you tipped it at around 20-26p I think as one of your tips for 2011....

What % return ?

I am just interested to see how you got on after all the FTS news over last few months.

[moreforus] 11/5/2011 14:18

i couldnt believe it to be honest...they go to phone only straight away on news..!

[tara7] 11/5/2011 14:18

Moreforus, just love the fact you beat the MM.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done you.!!!

[tara7] 11/5/2011 14:16

For the 10p investors its yet one more case of buying when others live in fear.

This stock was 10p in the crash so a very good investment.

For those who bought at the float goes to show newver buy at that time cos in effect you are being sold it.

[moreforus] 11/5/2011 14:14

we were expecting a divi payment of 8p

[duplicate book] 11/5/2011 14:12

moreforus.........Not knocking you at all, but how can they value FTS at just 16p? Seems like a stitch up to me to be honest. Any large holders out there care to comment on todays revelation!!
