Hearing bad things about this company now. I have sold the lot

[anyoldrubbish] 29/9/2009 16:39

Not on massive volume though. I agree with Altube, though, Future must look like a good acquisition at this sort of price, given that it's ridden out the recession better than most dead tree publishing companies. It's diversified successfully into customer publishing, has dipped its toes into publishing on demand (with the WoW magazine) and has launched tons of consumer shows off the back of its many brands. And then its websites appear to be going from strength to strength, especially its 'Radar' branded sites. If only it wasn't for those pesky Americans dropping the ball... Bah!@

it took its time, but you were right Anyoldrubbish, seems strange that it has dropped so late in the day

[anyoldrubbish] 29/9/2009 13:45

Yes, the US problem was highlighted, but its effects have been worse than thought. Therefore, I suspect we'll see a couple of pence come off the share price at least over the next day or so. Disappointing, really, as I was expecting reasonably good news. Actually, given the economic circumstance, it wasn't that bad I guess, but I still think the share price will slim down after the US FU.

doesnt look like it, statement didnt include anything that wasnt already known, the US problem was highlighted earlier this year, so I guess its justs going to plod along as always.

I am gutted becuase my average price was about 25p, but sold a few off before the rise as needed the cash and if I had held would have been able to get out altogether at break even, having held these now for over 4 years and not once been in profit !

[anyoldrubbish] 29/9/2009 09:02

Looks like we're heading back down...

[anyoldrubbish] 28/9/2009 09:44

Trading update tomorrow! Fingers and thumbs all crossed.

[anyoldrubbish] 22/9/2009 10:55

Are you back in again altube?

[altube] 21/9/2009 22:14

Hi all

Long time, FUTR looking solid media company at the moment, it has been difficult but circualtions have remained and less reliant on ads makes it a bonus. Managed properly this is a cash generating business.

Any take out would have to be close 80p for the institutions to listen

"They walked it up to the top of the hill, and they walked it all the way back down again..."

[outsourcer] 16/9/2009 09:59

heading back down

[anyoldrubbish] 15/9/2009 13:00

I always speak 'any old rubbish' so there you go :D

Am now very interested to hear what the company has to say during its update at the end of the month.

[outsourcer] 15/9/2009 11:26

spoke to soon anyoldrubbish !!!!

I guess no one was really buying into the rise, so there is not much point taking it higher, unless there is some good news on the horizon

[anyoldrubbish] 15/9/2009 10:05

And steadily she rises. Maybe there is some news coming out soon after all. Update due at the end of the month too.

[outsourcer] 10/9/2009 12:22

I honestly dont think so, this has risen considerably (for FUTR) in the last 2 days, but time will tell

[anyoldrubbish] 10/9/2009 11:23

I'm not so sure... it's probably just reflecting the general rise in share prices and optimism that the recession is coming to the end.

[outsourcer] 10/9/2009 10:29

something is afoot at FUTR, if I hadn't sold a load the other month, I would now be breaking even !!!

[outsourcer] 09/9/2009 16:47

blimey thats a bit of a jump at close

[anyoldrubbish] 03/8/2009 10:15

What you forget about though is that they bought a shedload of their mags... with most of them now having been closed down. What a waste of money and a great way to saddle the company with debt.

[cheltspy] 02/8/2009 13:20

Seems quite flat, a Highbury House situation has been averted. Would not have been so had they taken them over.

[anyoldrubbish] 30/7/2009 10:31

And I never sold! Sheer greed on my part!!

[anyoldrubbish] 30/7/2009 09:36

I remember the heady days of shares in the £9 range!

[outsourcer] 30/7/2009 08:34

another steady interim statement, I think the heady days of shares in the 80p range are long gone.

[outsourcer] 22/7/2009 09:42

looks like we wont be holding 19p
