Yes, they'll obviously outperform their forecasts... yet again!

Given affiliates did`nt get a 5% bonus in December and we have seen commissions increase approx 50% in the Travel industry,for Maz to say profits are weighted to H2 baffles me somewhat,any thoughts guys!!!

I agree that IBG are very good in not over stating the position and that should be commended but I see no problem with a bit more information and detail of future plans in certain aspects of the business such as Henoo and the outlook for US AF for example. It's obvious things are going in the right direction and by being a little bit more informative and upbeat, I'm sure, would have giving the share price the fillip it so badly needs and deserves.

I am a long time holder and not planning to sell out but there are many people ignorant in understanding affiliate marketing. To assume they will catch on maybe a little short sighted

[the blackster] 14/2/2007 14:37

Omlaysause/Hirschnathan - the statement was typically understated - Maz and co. don't seem to want to set the world on fire with overpromising as this isn't the kind of company that hypes itself up. The figures speak for themselves and the consistent performing over expectations simply delivers what is says on the tin ie. consistent growth and consistently increasing profits. The City will see this, brokers and analysts alike will like it, we'll see more media coverage over the coming weeks, more PIs and more institutional interest. I'd rather be in now than profit taking and wishing I'd held when this is 45p+.

Omlaysause

Welcome to the thread. I think you are right, the forward statement was very very vague and that has not had the right effect on the share price

[68steve] 14/2/2007 13:47

I`m not sure these are profit takers,more likely traders pre-results looking for a rise and know clearing out.The fact share price has risen(only slightly) after results shows there is a long way to go and maybe Instis will be mopping up these shares...IMHO.

[omlaysause] 14/2/2007 13:17

Well I hope you're all right. But for the past year we've been waiting for the so called profit takers to get out and I'm not convinced that's keeping the share price low. Although the results yesterday were excellent (as expected), I thought the forward statement from IBG didn't exactly set the heather on fire and I'm not convinced there will be much upward movement on the share price until the interims or some big hitters buy in.
Hope I'm wrong!

[masurenguy] 14/2/2007 12:22

Have topped up this morning - when the profit takers have finished this will move up.

[68steve] 14/2/2007 12:21

Well everything seems to be going to plan,just a matter of time...

[hirschnathan] 14/2/2007 12:11

Dropped dead, no discussions, ibg down. Its hard to belive that just yesterday there was so much excitement

[divinausa1] 14/2/2007 08:15

just waiting for the 25k boys(get their couple pennies) to move out...

[68steve] 14/2/2007 08:13

Quiet start,given yesterdays volume...

[papalpower] 14/2/2007 05:31

I see Altium forecast EPS of 1.9p for this year 2007, and for next year 2008 they forecast 2.9p EPS.

[taurusthebear] 14/2/2007 05:23

Hi Arthurly, left NZ last month. Just passed through Malaysia, it's nice but a tad boring.

I top-sliced IBG about a year ago, missed the spike up to 37p though. In the past 3 months I've been adding back because the shares seem to be better value now after a year of effectively going nowhere. Nearly back to the number of shares I owned at 10p. No intention to top-slice again before 45-50p, if at all. Just depends on how long it takes to get there! :0)

I bought in at 21p, then 27p then 34p - I'm definately looking at profit taking by 2010...

[niggle] 13/2/2007 22:57

I'm amazed we made such modest share price progress today!

[costapacket] 13/2/2007 22:40

I'm amazed that we have made suchg modest share price progress in the last year but at least it gives us a solid platform for any future rise.

No danger of selling my holding

[muffinhead] 13/2/2007 22:21

There seems to be a renewed general interest in AIM stocks by PI's and institutions in recent months. Some catching up to do against the larger capitalisations.

[niggle] 13/2/2007 22:09

In From 3p and have no intention of selling although I did sell a few last Spring for 'finance'

[stemis] 13/2/2007 20:24

My only real gripe is the online retail which contributes very little to earnings, takes a lot of management time and has now been scheduled for another 'restructuring'. I think they should just sell it and focus on the advertising side.

I 'suspect' IBG would offload the retail side if they could get a decent offer. The creation of a independent management team for the business (so that it is not dependent on IBG management, who would not transfer with a sale) is maybe a step towards facilitating that process.

Whatever happens its clearly going to become more and more peripheral as IBG expands geographically and in terms of product offering.

Why not? if he needed the cash
