Hi Sat69,

Sorry to say I bought the same day HSBC Investment announced their recent 1M investment, so that was near 70p level....anyway have been watching this from IPO, where I thought it will be a good investment, but wasnt sure where the bottom was. However with HSBC investing it confirmed to me, that is a good time, which is also confirmed with their results and share price movement! But you can say I was lucky with that as its more or less impossible to get the bottom with any stock...

Anyway do you have any investment tips, ie where you are moving your funds to instead?

[sat69] 28/1/2008 17:05

Yeah Mali - hindsight is so wonderful!

Still I made a healthy profit. I'm sure most here are still sitting on losses (including yourself Mali?) :-)

Early out Sat69?

Todays announcement confirms, they have the knowledge and contact to bring out the best projects from Bollywood - that is what is needed, check out the talent contracts signed - looks good for future!

[sat69] 23/1/2008 13:56

That's me out. They wouldn't give me 76p for all my 20k, so I had to sell half last week at 76p and half today at 75p!

A bit worrying that EROS has been steadily falling. Maybe it's just the general market trend?

Good luck to you Mill and any other holders

Mill,

I agree with you that they are still a bargain. It's just that I'm making a nice profit and I don't want to let it slip. I've already held much longer than I normally would. I guess I'm just hoping for a big surge after some strong news, and thats me out, but my finger is itching to hit that sell button!

majority of the shares are held by big players, its so obvious that this is a bargain.

Hope you stay in till may. NAV is circa 97p.

[sat69] 11/1/2008 13:50

Still nudging higher - now at 78p. Greed has stepped in and I'm looking for another penny! :-)

[sat69] 09/1/2008 17:10

This stock usually moves on small volumes. 16.5k went through today (I presume buys) but no movement. I wonder why?

[sat69] 07/1/2008 18:08

I may wait for an update on 'Welcome' gross revenues before selling. It grossed £6.4 mill in its first week in India, so it should be continuing to do well.

[sat69] 04/1/2008 18:16

Another couple of nudges in the right direction. Now at 76p and I'm still holding!

[sat69] 31/12/2007 17:14

Up another tick this morning and I'm still holding!

Happy New Year to all.

Million

2-5 years - I don't know where I'll be then!

I'm not a long-term holder of shares in general. I agree with you this company is very sound, but that is simply my trading strategy. I bought 20k last week, and I'm already holding them longer than I normally would! As the wife will tell you, I like to get in and out quick! ;-)

[millionairefools] 28/12/2007 16:50

Sat69

you still want to sell out.

Two films which have been super hits, they still have some films currently in production.

NAV 97p.

Bargain!

Once the next set of financials are released these can double. £2m-£4m profit for the year with 50m in investments. Can 5 bagger in 2-5 years...

[sat69] 28/12/2007 14:56

And now we are really motoring - another 657 shares bought. We could reach 20,000 soon if we are not careful!

[sat69] 28/12/2007 13:45

Buyers coming in thick and fast - second trade gone through - a 5k BUY! ;-)

[sat69] 28/12/2007 12:18

Someone picked up 10k this morning. Looks like we are firmly set for a steady rise over the coming days.

[sat69] 28/12/2007 10:33

Surely someone will want to buy a few today?...

The Indian Film Company Limited ("the Company" or "IFC")

Film investment breaks box office records

The Indian Film Company, the AIM listed film investment company, which acquired
the worldwide distribution rights for the film "Welcome" in November 2007 is
pleased to announce that the film has broken a number of box office records
since it opened in India and selected territories across the world on December
21


In its opening week in India "Welcome" grossed INR 500 million (£6.4 million) on
900 prints, representing the highest opening week of all time for a comedy film
in India and the highest opening week for its lead star Akshay Kumar.


In the UK, the film grossed INR 42.8 million (£550,000) in its opening week
from 40 theatres, making it into the UK top ten charts and in North America the
film grossed INR 29 million (£371,000) from 60 theatres in its opening week.


Commenting, Sandeep Bhargava, CEO of the Indian Investment Adviser said: "We are
very pleased that Welcome has done so well in its first week, and look forward
to it continuing to break further records, - it is one of several films we have
invested in and which we believe have the potential to deliver significant
returns to our shareholders.

[sat69] 27/12/2007 18:16

No volume of late. I am expecting some positive news and little bounce in the next few trading days though, hopefully back to around 80p.

[sat69] 20/12/2007 20:36

MF

A tad old news (already posted #121). What I'm assuming is that HSBC has bought a stake from one of the top 10 shareholders, as a purchase of 9% in the market (when there is only around 25% to mop up) would have caused the shares to rocket back up to 100p.

I can understand your concern Kenny. However, I liked the way the share price twice hit 80p, and bounced back up - first to 89p, and then to 86p. I'm hoping we have a similar bounce at the 70p level (which has sought of started) - and I'll be out! :-)

Hi Sat.
I am no chartist and I think most of them talk rubbish. But that graph gives me the willies
I will be watching with interest what there next film does.

Till them in these markets I'm hording my dosh.

[sat69] 19/12/2007 19:57

Just realised that the top 10 shareholders own around 75% of the total stock between them. (See header). Not sure if that is a good thing or bad! :-) No wonder there's hardly any trading going on!
