From what I've seen in the past it is quite normal for companies in difficulties to carry on outwardly as normal as long as possible. A recent exception to this has been Persimmon Homes' announcement that they are suspending new builds for the time being.

oh dear, lets hope MC dosent pull his hair out over this, he will lose his superpowers...

[moormoney] 30/4/2008 16:07

nice pop up! to confound the critics.

Greetings ti, Just thought I'd post so you would not think you were talking to yourself and slowly going mad!...

[ti] 30/4/2008 13:42

I just get the feeling its market forces at work. Few sellers deciding to sell out, but no buyers to take up the stock and so the share tanks.

[ti] 30/4/2008 13:41

They are also in the process of acquiring some property management companies.

All very odd, talk about the company going under and all the while they are still acquiring.

[ti] 30/4/2008 11:34

anyone noticed EVO not making a market in these any more ?

[ti] 30/4/2008 11:34

ok mate, thanks for the reply.

[tiltonboy] 30/4/2008 11:18

ti,

Gave up speaking to them a long time ago.

On the face of it the deals look OK, but knowing this lot, there is more than meets the eye.

This was one life's bad decisions.

tilton

you any idea what's going on here ? You talked to management lately ?

OR have you given up on these ?

Not only that I was told the Dumfernline has just increased their credit line for more acquisitions. Why do that if its about to go boobs up ?

[gazz3r] 29/4/2008 19:33

Why did the Dumfermline lend on the last purchase if everything is going pear-shaped?
Most of the lenders are belt and braces just now in particular a mainstream lender like the Dumfermline.

Oh, from my last comment - the current commercial market is very quiet - thought I would keep peoples spirits up.

Well theres not a lot now the directors can do.The share price is so low even after reorganising the share capital they wouldnt get a placing away.And if tradings as bad as the share price suggests not much point in issuing a trading statement either so it looks as though the last man had better turn the lights out.

[realcooltrader] 29/4/2008 14:45

The Caplans must be mightily pee'd off accepting all those shares in lieu of hard cash. I know MC has more than a few, but do we know if the rest of the Board have any shares(I couldn't spot anything on the IHGP website)? Ideal time for them to show some support....

I said I had a feeling this was going under not it is going under.Big difference mate .!
If the share price is anything to go by then you could presume the companies in trouble especially in the current market .

catswhiskas - who let the dogs out?

[grassyknoll] 29/4/2008 14:11

I'm not bothered either way CW. I am thinking of buying as a quick punt. Just wanted to make sure what you were saying had any substance before I decide to take a punt.

[catswhiskas] 29/4/2008 14:09

Try telling the market that !

[brando69] 29/4/2008 14:09

catswhiskas... i see your stock picking skills are exemplary...

[grassyknoll] 29/4/2008 13:53

FWIW i sent an email to IH, referring to CW "going under" remark.

The reply was "absolute nonesense and unfounded"

[catswhiskas] 29/4/2008 13:44

Too late to be selling now .

[realcooltrader] 29/4/2008 13:38

4m sell at 0.08p, ouch. Anyone feeling brave, you can buy 5m at 0.1p?
