There was a full one page article in Investors Chronical (IC) a couple of weeks back which had a real go at the impending Hollywood media IPO, the bottom line was they thought it was a total rip off at 3p per share. Anyone who is considering an investment in HOL should read a copy of the IC article before committing funds.

If you don't choose to take the offer at 25p, you're left with unlisted shares. Selling now for 25.5p is a better deal if you think the shares won't relist in a year or two at a significantly higher level. Clearly some people do, as the shares are currently trading above the MBO offer of 25p.

If you are prepared to take the risk, keep hold of them. If not, sell now for 25.5 so that someone else can reap the rewards in a couple of years.

This is not advice, but a gut feeling that recent events for HOL would not have taken place if somebody didn't think that there would be some major gains to be had in the future. If the company is turned around and relists with good prospects, these will be a goldmine.

On the flipside, the company could go down the pan entirely.

I still hold but am undecided on what to do. Like hot, I'll sell if the share price continues to rise. Right now, I'm more tempted to tuck what I have away for the long term. If I were the HOL management, I'd be looking to turn the company around and put it up for sale. As an investor, riding on the back of that one certainly makes sense... it just depends on how long it'll take....

Any thoughts?

HOT

i've plenty of bottle but haven't got loads of dosh to throw around and with opportunities elswhere sentiment goes out of the window.

Like i said before.....only in this game to make a quick buck and made it with HOL one day and got greedy and then nearly lost my initial stake........

Hope things go in your favour though........then i'll be gutted didn't hang around!!!

Can't see Holmes management being sentimental to investors.........they're just thieving b*stards who've caused many a lot of grieve

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Hot/oldtown and other shafted investors!!

Been away for a while but see things haven't improved!!

I can't believe at this ridiculous price nobody has upped the offer!

What is the situation if most shareholders reject the buyout?
Will a better offer have to be made by Bridgepoint or could it all collapse, resulting in a further drop in the share price?

if i don't reply to the offer does it automatically get registered that i am against the offer or is it best to send in saying NO?

I haven't received anything in the post yet!!
Could this be intentional by fisher and co?????

Loks like cannons are out of the question now.....what about Whitbread, which i understand has been mentioned in the past and is still being touted about.

HOT......i'mabout to light my own barbie......it's a muggy afternoon here and perfect for a few bevvies and grilled fish!!

Fax just sent to Mr. Fischer:

--------------------------
Dear Mr. Fischer,


Re: Investor Enquiry


I am one of the several Holmes Place investors facing a significant loss as a result of the current takeover bid. This comes as a surprise since the company's NAV is significantly higher. I also understand that Holmes Place has a strong brand name, which would not be reflected in the balance sheet.

It comes to my surprise the fact that management is backing such an offer. In principle, I believe that management is supposed to look after the best interests of its investors. But if the buyout involves management on the bidding side, does it mean investor's interests are being left behind? On what grounds are you recommending investors to sell to the current bidder?

Another question I would like to receive an answer from you is: Are all efforts being made to allow other bidders to evaluate the company (due diligence) in view of a possible counter bid?

Your reply to my questions is essential to help me believe that my shares' value is not being reduced as a result of malicious manipulation.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The difference seems to be that I called to place a complaint, not to enquire, and they told me an investigation was already open and that I should receive a call of the person in charge of the investigation. I have not received the call yet, but I imagine some information will come out during the conversation.

I have no motivation to misslead anyone. I only have to gain from existing investors getting together to try reduce the damage. You always have the option of filtering me out (click on my name over this message and click on Filter User).

I hope investors chronicle pick up this in their issue tomorrow , particulaly as they did an article in their issue on 9-15th May on "loaded" companies and hol was listed as nav of 129p a share. I agree that the management has ripped the shareholders off but as small shareholders do we have any clout. I will also filter on this thread if anyone posts threads with no factual comments

Hans i agree its not his fault people r foolish or is it greed that get them involved but surely he must take some responsability for misleading information , as investors / gamblers as most on bbs r they tend to follow herd but any good sheepdog / poster can have an effect that causes people to either doubt why they hold a particular stock or make them want to risk more on it.

My point being is why do people feel they have to quote misleading information in the first place bbs are in that respect almost like the old wild west where lawlessness is permitted , surely advfn themselves have a responsability to general users to weed out multi alias people and bands of investors who hijack bbs for there own gain , as we all know or have come across groups of posters who seem to be in concert with each other then disappear the day after a fall etc


insiderboy not sure if u posted me a compliment or a slagging lol

be lucky

The Holmes Place website under investors relations used to contain the key financial dates of the company. A week or so ago the annual general meeting was shown as the 5th of May with the june interim results in september, dividends in October etc. I chechek it again today and the only outstanding dates on it now are: MAY 2003 for AGM and Final Dividends. Is this an indication there will be no more interest in future dates for the investors??
