Media Square Share Discussion Threads

Looks like last Friday was a good moment to double my holding! Great news - let's hope it all falls nicely into place.

spooky..I wouldn't disagree with you, from really exciting news to concerns about trading patterns to the well respected Chairman stepping down does not make for good flow. Buchanan Comms may be the party responsible for the overall construction of this release.
That said I don't foresee anything like a struggle to go forward with this deal.
"This is a huge step forward for the Group in our strategy to develop a
powerful marketing communications and marketing services business. Media Square
has an excellent track record in making accretive acquisitions. The Company is
now well placed to make this Acquisition which has the potential to drive
significant future earnings and sales growth".

Todays announcement must be one of the most poorly constructed that i have seen in a long time,they may well struggle to sell the deal to shareholders unless they can tell a more positive story than is implied in the statement.

Huntsworth is selling a total of 16 businesses including its sales promotion,
design, direct marketing, sponsorship consultancy, publishing and specialist and regional advertising businesses.

Somethings cooking here.

Down to 23.5p - almost top up time!

[spaceparallax] 23/9/2005 12:37

How low can we go? Will lodge a buy limit at 24p to hopefully top-up this afternoon. If JM, says good news soon, that's good enough for me.

[puregenius] 23/9/2005 12:24

Thanks for sharing that addas. BTW there's still time for a pre-close update. I doubt their close period will start for at least another couple of months or so.

[addas99] 23/9/2005 12:18

The 250K sell this morning has finally dragged us lower but, in an email reply from JM this morning, his middle paragraph read..

"I hope to be able to give you and other shareholders in MSQ some more good news before too long."

Good enough for me, somethings cooking.

[addas99] 22/9/2005 16:45

Had hoped for a trading update before entering their closed period.
Some pretty determined selling being seen of late although so far the share price has held up well. Few doubts about their full year performance but we may have to wait quite a while before we learn just how good.

[roosterhead56] 21/9/2005 23:16

But why would you get a better price after that for selling 600K?

[spaceparallax] 21/9/2005 16:45

That closing 0.5M sale suggests that we're on the way down again!

[barryrog] 15/9/2005 17:44

hi tehmac,
still hold half my holding bought one year ago @18.5p.
with hindsight should have maybe sold them all when i top sliced at 28p but the share price is getting back there again.
the problem with this share is the small punters get bored and sell and as the stock is not traded that much it forces the share price down even on small volumes. however the big boys continue to buy and patience will continue to be rewarded. the danger with being out is a potential takeover which is a distinct possibility with the advertising/media industry looking to consolidate and this co. has a lot of 'blue chip' customers.
rgds.

Nice little tick up today, hopefully a sign of good things to come...

[tehmac] 14/9/2005 11:53

Another 500,000 in volume today gone through, that's 1,000,000 in the last couple of days, someone is buying big!

[tehmac] 12/9/2005 20:57

I just can't figure out why it's not more widely recognised despite the fact that it's been tipped many a time in many of the "rags" etc...

I'm still out of pocket by a fair bit on this stock by selling on a couple of the major downs earlier in the year so I was thinking once it got back up to the price I last bought at which is another 1 or 2p I'd say... then I'd maybe sell and wait for the drop again if there was one and buy in at the bottom... make money off the drops than the rises if you get me... but it looks pretty solid at this level so I'm not sure right now.

Also, everything was showing up as "Unknown" today for the 550,000 volume... was it someone buying then? Still seems a fair bit of in and outing by the big players rather than the smaller investors. Unusual to see so much involvement from them in a stock this small.

P.S Roguie: I hope so... I bought in around the 29p mark when it was first set for big things at the start of the year and unfortunately 9 months on it's even lower so here's hoping...

[roguie] 12/9/2005 20:41

I've held these for a while and topped up recently. I expect a quiet time in the short term but have no doubt that these will rise significantly over 6-9 months

[spaceparallax] 12/9/2005 20:11

Have held and will continue to for a long long time, adding at the lows. Still can't believe why the virtues of the stock and its excellent leader are not properly recognised. Providing that they can ride any downturn, I see this being a big player in future and presenting a compelling case for investors.

As with you Tehmac, I am pleased to see the overall upward trend of recent weeks - certainly a couple of decent buyers seem to agree with me today.

[tehmac] 12/9/2005 10:36

Just wondering what everyone is thinking with regards to this stock at the present, been very quiet around here lately. It may be that all the bored investors have come out now due to the lack of movement and it can't be valued at any less than this, looks like a bounce upward is on it's way from here.

[tehmac] 06/9/2005 09:09

I've been holding since February time and as you can tell it's been all downhill, unfortunately I picked the worst times to get out and back in and lost a fair bit, I'm just hoping it will pick up soon and that slight rise at the start of September was promising. This is a stock that is in my 'leave it be' and look at it every few days if needed section.

Space.....I must remember to not post after the third glass :-)

[drewz] 02/9/2005 17:38

At last, a bit of buy side strength. This share has fallen far too far since March.

Back to 28p in short time I would guess.

[spaceparallax] 02/9/2005 17:23

I'm sure it's down to the sensitive fingers!

[sheeneqa] 02/9/2005 17:08

Well mighty glad I bought a few more at the bottom, looking for north of 27p to be in profit overall.....
