Yes - but the connection between the director and Boundary leaves a sour taste when they sell just before everything heads south, compounded by the nonsense with this failed acquisition.

Isn't that what investing in the Stock Market is all about trident?

Boundary Capital look smart

It's the numpties left in the wash that aren't.

SP tells what the market thinks.

I haven't got time to look up your old posts imprudent but glad you're finding the time to read mine. I suppose my posts do make unpleasant reading for eager company disciples who see their management as whiter than white. In this case, you can blame Rise Step for the company's woes if you want but the impressive share price rise had no substance or else it wouldn't be returning to base. The skids were put under the price when Boundary Capital sold out. Remember, according to the IGE website at the time, one director of IGE was a partner in Boundary Capital and another was an investor. Was it sensible for the directors to be involved in a venture capital company that bragged about it's gain? How does that look now?

"Boundary Capital exits Image Scan to realise gain for investors.
Boundary Capital has announced its exit for the bulk of its holdings in AIM listed Image Scan Holdings Plc. The exit has returned four times the original investment for investors, after only three years.
Boundary Capital has invested in a number of assets in technology and life sciences covering big data analytics, left science therapeutics and diagnostics, advanced manufacturing and security software.
Image Scan Holdings plc has been a successful growth story. It has a range of different X-Ray products in the security and industrial market, notably portable X-Ray scanners for security in public places.
Dan Somers, Managing Partner of Boundary Capital says: “We are delighted to return fourfold to our investors for this asset within three years. We are also pleased to have our investment thesis validated in this regard.”

Yes really smart, 2.5p, brilliant well done R S.

Actually in really simple terms ask yourself would we be at 2. 5p if they had not hobbled the management I. E. Those that really understand what the company needed? Also In so doing created a loss in wasted enterprise and prevented new corporate investors joining the register?
Argue with that!

"I expect the Company to be focused on organic growth for a period before revisiting its acquisition ambitions."

From the recent TU...Shame they didn't do that in the first place instead of getting above themselves, it was right that it was stopped.

[pru dent] 03/10/2018 20:59

Ah Owenski, so are you still praising the biggest loser of all in cash terms, Rise Step? Mortal self inflicted wound??
Mc greggor just for interest have you ever actually held this stock? Or in fact any of the stocks where you rubbish management in general?

And as for not taking a profit, read post. 5263

I was politely answering buywell3's question about the previous profit warning but the usual clowns feel the need to clutter the board with impotent outbursts. Some investors here got greedy, fell asleep on the bus then have been screaming at the driver to get them back to the stop they missed. Sad really.

[kazoom] 03/10/2018 20:36

So Mr M. - was your point just to highlight a single instance of your cleverness in the past or have you something to offer on the current situation?

If it's just the former then, "well done you", but I'm hoping it might be the latter and you have something to offer that we can review?

[owenski] 03/10/2018 20:36

You got it right Mr Mac. these BB's always have unpleasant muppets on them that dont like a dose of reality.

Or muppets who are so called experts on a stock, which means they've held it for years and lost most of their money, but they certainly are experts, just not in making money.

[mr macgregor] 03/10/2018 20:31

Cleverer than you it seems.

[buywell3] 25/9/2018 16:08

When was the last one ? Mac

"Fact
This is profit warning number one"

You've marked your own card there. This isn't the first profit warning.

[owenski] 22/9/2018 17:42

It's done quite well getting partnerships to extend its sales footprint, spending out to acquire someones business telephone directory is expensive, they need to deliver on their current business.

As said, I'm suspecting that the portable Xray market might not be that big anyway, sounds a bit niche.

[sojourno] 22/9/2018 12:16

Buywell3... I'm not a holder, neither pro nor anti. Watched for a long time though, have never held since I first heard of IGE around the time Peter Woods joined the BoD as non-exec, which is 2002.
IMO the Co needs acquisitions, needs to acquire reach in the sector (as do many AIM Co's).
I hope I'm being objective!

[buywell3] 21/9/2018 16:06

Fact

This is profit warning number one

''With lower expected revenues for the year coupled with the exceptional costs associated with the aborted fundraise and acquisition of Todd Research, which are estimated to have a total impact on profit of GBP270k, the Company expect to make a loss in FY 2018.''


As the adage goes profit warnings come in ....



rhymes with trees

[buywell3] 21/9/2018 16:05

And the Pro posts don't eh ?

A couple of anti posts here read like fakes.

When people talk about LTH, are they referring to the fact that some have held this from the days - years ago - when it was 30p, and then watched it being decimated all the way down to the 2p area whilst continuing to hold.

That's not an opinion I value.

Those that called this right when BM took over and were buying from sub 2p and cashing in at 10 - 12p seem more switched on to me.

Some folks forget this is about making money and it's not being an expert on the company, it's about judging the market, timing and execution.

These private ego clubs of LTH's are opinions that have little value except on wealth destruction.

[monty68] 21/9/2018 12:04

So do I,but all this is so pointless and negative. Just discourages the directors and staff.

[peterblok] 21/9/2018 11:58

Hope you'll be back Assegai, when all has settled down a bit. Some of us LT holders value your opinion . . . . .
