Merrickman can you clarify how you arrived at EVOs aquisition price of 3 or 4p looking at the first notice it looks like at least some was acquired over 11p. perhaps i am wrong? Any help appreciated.

Many thanks for your input James - sold out but will keep an eye on what's happening. Didn't get in earlier enough really but a profit is a profit!

One could be missing that the kettle has come to the boil,
and the water is from now on going to get cooler.
Or to put it another way, we have reached the top of the hill.
Time will tell.
On fundamentals can this share price really go any further?
The fundamentals are not just weak but almost non-existant,
and that is what should be holding the share price up,
instead of hot air.

Market cap 14.88 million Cash per Share 0.5 - Court case tommorow and pending share dilution at 3p only being placed with Institutions - Not even share holder options. What am I missing?

EVO propping up since their acqiuisition of 12% now off loading. This has pump and dump written all over. I am shorting but what am I missing as this share price seems to be defying logic. I don't mind closing short at a loss (but more likely to increase into this rise as exposure only from 13p) but can anybody enlighten me as to why these have rocketed beyond even the most excessive valuation - my only thought is power struggle for controlling share re Mr Ramsden involvement - which is now factored into share price beyond commercial value.

Sells out stripping buys and rising - I guess we will see shorters squeeze with spread widening - I guess when three MMs on spread they can easily tuck us up - long and shorts

Gismo - I'm here and not really sure where this one is going to be completly honest, I have taken my initial investment out and will wait until after the EGM before buying/selling any.

Just in from Watshot:

Leisureplay (LPY) * - I must say that I have really enjoyed the significant price rise in this company's shares since I put out my Hot Tip to buy them at 4p on 30th June. The petty sniping from small minded plonkers on the bulletin boards questioned why I should be following a stock connected with a man with Terry Ramsden's reputation - that it has risen 375% to 15p within eight trading days provides the answer.

You do not have to like Terry Ramsden or applaud his previous endeavours to realise that the man is a 'mover'. He has a street sense on how to play these markets and gain advantage for himself, and his shareholders, as he puts into action his plans for his new vehicle, which incidentally is his first such foray with a quoted company for some seventeen years.

His ambitious targets need to have such a quoted vehicle as the base and that is what Leisureplay is going to be, it will be renamed Caplay before the end of July.

Last week I watched with total fascination the way the shares just carried on rising in price day in, day out. I also laughed when I saw another tipster telling his readers last Friday evening to follow what Gyllenhamar did with his 12 million shares, namely selling out. I laughed because his example would be a poor exercise, he sold out at 4p so how clever was he?

I understand that there is an ongoing demand for the shares from American and Canadian investors, and it looks to be unsatisfied. In fact as it gets higher it seems to be attracting even more interest from over the pond.

Do not get me wrong here - this stock is strictly for gamblers. It is highly speculative and most definitely not for widows, orphans or those with a weak disposition. Even so I must admit to some real fascination with this situation - the shares could fall back on profit-taking. I actually think that such risks are reducing, because long term holders, of what was the old Murray Financial Corporation, have probably blessed the heavens above that they at long last had an opportunity to get out of the stock and have done so.

Equally those who bought in early on and have needed to establish their profits have probably done so. That leaves some of the recent buyers, the short term traders, as sellers - but I would imagine that their selling will be more than matched by overseas buyers coming for the stock.

Terry Ramsden is a man to watch - I believe that he will be quiet until after the EGM on 26th July, which will then vote through the name change and the issuing of more equity to increase the cash coffers of the Company before stage two of his plan kicks in. That is why I think these shares could go a great deal higher before the EGM. So Hold very tight, if you can afford to do so.

This is great! Not a holder but nice to see peeps making a few £'s.

[s4kcm] 12/7/2004 08:30

Up she goes must have been listening to me

[s4kcm] 12/7/2004 08:29

I wont be selling Im looking for more and totally agree with your comments. I hope that people dont start to panic if they see some red so lets hope for more blue today

[shaunoneill] 12/7/2004 08:26

I have been reading this board and it sounds like most people are looking to sell out just before the AGM.

It has looked like everyone is buying on the back of Terry, it does not look like he is buying making a quick buck then selling so why are people of talking about selling when it seems like there could be loads more in there?

Any commnets would be good.

Lets hope for BLUE.

[tonyx] 11/7/2004 21:24

Wow-can they make it 10 in a row?

Gainers for 9 days

EPIC Name Price Today Price Then Change Change %
LPY LEISUREPLAY 14.875 2.625 +12.25 466.67%

[paddyfool] 10/7/2004 13:29

There can only be one reason for this rise and that must mean the arrival of some assets shortly!

[merrickman] 10/7/2004 09:45

In the meantime, former boss Ken Murray's claim against the company for wrongful dismissal is set for 13 July. Murray believes he is entitled to almost £800,000 for loss of office. Leisureplay is vigorously defending it and is confident of victory. Could be interesting week as the founder I think Murrays case may receive some support.

[thumbtwiddle] 09/7/2004 16:23

what the hell is going on here - and WHY DID I NOT BUY ANY AT 6P!!!!!

[skipster] 09/7/2004 15:37

Have a look at MUU. Doing the same as LPY but about a week behind.

[james 2] 09/7/2004 15:23

Paddy - FOUR is an EPIC.

[guru11] 09/7/2004 15:23

This one has been up day after day this week a
and just defies logic on fundamentals
and the fact that there are 5:2 sellers today.
But who knows how far it can go.
Yet still going up 14.25 / 15p now..
