----------For the attention of ADVFN Head of ADMIN------------
Before on can sign up to post on ADVN stock forum, there are Terms & Conditions that have to be agreed to. On other stock forums like Hotcopper in Australia or London South East UK, the Chat Rules are shown in an icon before one can Press Post. But the rules are the same as they MEET & COMPLY with CURRENT Australia or UK Law.

Should one CONTRAVENE the current UK law, even in SCHOOL, it is EXPLUSION, IF, at work, it will be DISMISSAL or at home, one may be asked to leave possibly?

ADVFN is also a listed co on the London Stock Exchange and common to all social media sites like London South East Stock forum, they cannot ALLOW posts on their sites IF they DO NOT COMPLY with CURRENT UK LAW. Same on Twitter. Same in the professional WORK PLACE and in PUBLIC etc.

Even on American Stock Chat social media forums, the law is also the same & one does NOT see contravention of the law nor in Australia.

-------However, some dont think that is the case?-----------------

So, should ADVFN look up my profile and what I have said on the matter, I have it on open file. Thank you. J.London, Sat, 28 Sep 2024 @11:53. For Clarity, I have respected & kept all the chat rules of ADVFN etc and RESPECTIVELY, I EXPECT the same from posters on ADVFN .

------------ADVFN RRR & PANR----FOR THE ATTENTION OF ADVFN HEAD.---------
What "Kemche" the poster on ADVFN PANR, Not moderated by the guild on Fri, 27 Sep 2024 @20:27 [Post 20248 of 20251] stated is CONFIRMED by me as NOT TRUE. Kemche said he PM'ed me but it is not correct as I have NOT been in any contact with Kemche on ADVFN EVER. I have never ever posted on the ADVFN PANR stock forum as I dont have PANR shares. How can I legally represent Kemche per his post? I am not a barrister.

On ADVFN RRR, "Kemche" the poster posted on Fri, 27 Sep 2024 @17:08, Post 188666 of 188868 and I also CONFIRM that is also NOT true, be it "pre-condition" or otherwise.

J.London, Fri, 27 Sep 2024 @9:15pm on ADVFN Hotel Chocolat. This stock has been taken over so using a defunct forum in case ADVFN wants to check my last posts on the subject matter of where my name was brought up by Kemche of which is not correct. So, it is ON FILE, what I said.

Any of you took my AMTE tip this morning ??

[williamcooper104] 16/11/2023 14:54

That and/or owner/management with big skin in the game as opposed to a typical board

[lefrene] 16/11/2023 14:41

I guess the thing is, is to find another confectionary brand that whoever missed out on Hotel Chocolate, will now go stalking. I can't see Mars having paid that price unless there was another bidder on the prowl.

[williamcooper104] 16/11/2023 13:56

Yes, it's a huge disconnect between the value of HOTC as a standalone company, especially as having more or less saturated its home market and failed at material overseas expansion and the value of it to Mars who will be able to crack the overseas rollout Many FTSE companies are too cheap but despite the whopping premium I don't think HOTC so obviously was

[montyhedge] 16/11/2023 12:47

Wow those who were holding this share never thought someone would pay that amount. Bigger turkey for Xmas, well done holders.

[lefrene] 16/11/2023 11:57

But without inside knowledge it looked like a basket case making huge losses, with expensive retail outlets to carry. As Mars have paid so much for it I can only suppose that there was at least one other party wanting the Brand. As otherwise a bit of patience would have seen it wither on the vine, and it could have been bought out at much lower levels. Those who held can breathe a sigh of relief Christmas has come early! :¬)

[cirlbunting1] 16/11/2023 11:46

Really happy for all shareholders here. I spent quite a long time doing a bull and bear case about a yr back on this. Bought the stock but then sold too early. Wish i had kept.

[clocktower] 16/11/2023 11:03

Toffeeman, your patience paid off, hopefully a better home for the funds will be found this time around.

[amaretto1] 16/11/2023 10:04

Looking at Marstons Brewery Asset value looks cheap Very apt name for here Any other ideas about ??

[lefrene] 16/11/2023 09:52

Somebody knew this was going to happen hence the price creeping up the past couple of months. Or else why buy into a big loss maker? But it does show the value of a 'Brand', if there's an interested party.

[bulltradept] 16/11/2023 09:45

Toffeeman,

Oh dear with inflation you are down, but you knew this already! ;-)

[sbs] 16/11/2023 09:30

I thought the markets were depressed and then Sopheon, now HOTC - both over 100% premium, which is enjoyable.

London needs to do better at valuing niche companies!

[cumnor] 16/11/2023 09:26

Good luck to holders here-say's more about London's market and how companies are valued, incl how the genius fund managers here haven't a clue and why companies are rushing to exit to the US, than it does about Hotel Choclat.

[applied1] 16/11/2023 09:19

Wish this would happen to MTC well done all

[jeanesy] 16/11/2023 09:17

if i knew how to short i would have done so for sure. Sometimes ignorance is bliss !

[jeanesy] 16/11/2023 09:15

yep now we see why the shares were being bought. Clearly some in the know.. wasnt expecting this.. well done to those who stuck with it !!

[chesty1] 16/11/2023 08:46

Happy days! Well done longs!

[sleepy] 16/11/2023 08:46

Hopefully Mars will bring back HOTCs flat 70% dark mint truffles. Used to spend several hundred a year on them but I have not been a customer since they were dropped

[hooded claw] 16/11/2023 08:26

Congrats all holders ... so sad shorters :)

[amaretto1] 16/11/2023 08:15
