Future Share Discussion Threads

One thing they will definitely get is the oxygen of publicity, I guess, and the opportunity to work with some of the world's biggest brands... a heightened profile can only be a good thing. Will have to do a bit more digging on this to fully understand it I guess... hope it's a polished product though, these things can look awful if there are journo presenters involved...

Huff, I dont have a PS3, but have Xbox360 and it sound similar to the xbox live situation where you can download game demo's, movies, music etc, but as you say what will Future get from this.

Interesting news about the new digital content to be supplied by Future US over the PlayStation network... not too keyed up on all of this, to be honest... will this be an option on the Home network when it's launched? Also, I'm guessing Future get no money up front but make their lolly from selling ads and subscriptions? Interesting concept, but will people buy it?

Nice deal with Tesco to distribute one million copies of a new store-exclusive games mag!

[outsourcer] 30/5/2008 21:57

they bought 16M shares and nothing happens !

[huffnpuff] 30/5/2008 17:05

Unbelievable. A steady trickle of good news and no reaction whatsoever. Bah.

[huffnpuff] 30/5/2008 16:32

Typical close!

[outsourcer] 30/5/2008 08:30

I wonder if if we will get an RNS after yesterdays flurry of trades

[outsourcer] 29/5/2008 13:59

yet only 1p up

[huffnpuff] 29/5/2008 13:19

10 mill and counting...

[outsourcer] 29/5/2008 12:37

whats going on ?

[outsourcer] 29/5/2008 11:09

if trades are correct then over 4.5M shares purchased this morning

[huffnpuff] 28/5/2008 19:42

Wish I'd been clever enough to buy in at 26.5p! The jammy git.

If a company can increase its like-for-like sales by 17 per cent and still get hammered, then the markets are totally irrational, especially when it comes to Future plc.

[outsourcer] 23/5/2008 08:22

based on those results my 36p is a long long way off

[outsourcer] 22/5/2008 11:08

I fortunately (!!) only need it to get to to 37p a share before breaking even and I dump the whole lot of my holding, but this has to be the worst investment i have ever made after buying my first lot in 2005 I have had a lot of money tied up and had no return.

I just have no idea when/if we will hit that price, things looked good the other week when we started to the climb to 30p, but that was short lived.

It's quite amusing watching the ever-downward spiral of this share (or rather it would be, if I hadn't got so much of my spare cash invested in it). Having worked for the company, I rate it as one of the best run publishing operations out there, but it's saddled with a poor track record over recent years. Hopefully, results on Friday will return some confidence to the share. All the basics are there and I have every faith in the management team, but market sentiment towards the company is dire.

2 weeks ago we were touching 30p and now we are down again, as soon as get to break even (if ever) I am out of this POS

[outsourcer] 14/5/2008 10:52

two big trades this morning

[outsourcer] 12/5/2008 19:47

and back down we go

[huffnpuff] 12/5/2008 08:39

Also, who bought them?

[huffnpuff] 12/5/2008 08:38

Completely missed the Templeton sell off. Curious thing to do just before results are announced. Does that spell a lack of confidence on their behalf?

[outsourcer] 12/5/2008 08:26

we cant quite break 30p
