saffy..

Good day all,
It is realy difficult to buy in any good quantity?
There has been the sells so why not match them with buys and make money?MMs.
More is going on behind closed doors!
I do not think they can tell or give information to individual on the phone.
I will try to buy more but not very +ive about the possibility.
There has been a buy order i know of for 5m @3.5p since 2nd Jan.No chance.
why one of big holders are not selling?
@3p will try to buy 250k?
Good luck to all.

I have sold down about 3/4 of my holding as on trying a dummy sell today
I was offered 3.16p after previously having sold half to lock in
1bagger plus gain so decided to sell that tranche to to make my total sell
of 3/4. I posted on Sharecrazy b4 my sell today however as follows:

"I still hold and spoke with the non exec chairman of
MSG over the telephone.

Timescale for possible action is about the end of
this month. I have to pay Gordon Brown by 31/01/08
hence my recent locking in of some profits.

RTO possibilty terminated some while ago when
new parties interested in new media direction
for MSG (a tiny TV co atm virtually
a clean shell). New media MSG could be
non-geograpic common interest type.

Some new blood and cash can also be hoped for
though if v. successful the usual caveat about
future cash raising.

Decent MM behaviour over share price atm.

Despite my
sells yesterday of just over half my holding
buying online today still difficult and bearing in mind
1400% share price gain since September the couple of % points fall
is miniscule.

All imho so dyor"

I now hold c.1/4 of my original short term stake. As will be seen
from my SC post above, Gordon Brown will want some dosh from
me by 31/01/08 hence the need to extract some from MSG profit while the going
was good.

Interestingly the 3.16p bid share price which I took was offered
after the initial 4% fall this morning. Also I still could not
subsequent to my sell, buy any online for my long term SIPP.

[safman] 09/1/2008 09:16

morning ..

saffy..

[andrbea] 09/1/2008 08:50

down 4% in reaction to what looks like a buy (100k)?

scare tactics methinks

could be an interesting day ;-)

maytrees GLEN GROUP/GLN.SOLD BUSINESS FOR 2.25 MILL IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY.TOUCH PAPER READY TO BE LIT.

[maytrees] 07/1/2008 11:47

I see the trade does show up on advfn.

[maytrees] 07/1/2008 11:41

Locked in just under half my MSG gains (at 3.15p)
Intersting the sale showed up only momentarily
but seems to have been deleted though it ticked down
the share price by c. 1.5%

DYOR - I still hold quite a few

[maytrees] 07/1/2008 09:47

Agreed andrbea

Is that another late reported trade of 110K+ at 4.40p?
If so what next?

[andrbea] 07/1/2008 09:19

Friday night
if a 110K msg shares buy at 4.40p (4840 pounds)
goes thru' at a 30% premium to the offer price, makes U wonder what a bigger buy would do to the share price ..

free float: tight as a drum if U ask me.

"Although investment in the group's local TV licences has been fully written down in the Company's books, the Board believes the channels could add value either to an enlarged Milestone Group or a third party."

good luck..

[maytrees] 05/1/2008 17:20

Greetings mm2.

The following from the last results statement may be the basis
for any corporate action:

"The television division continues to trade at a modest loss broadly in line with expectations.
Although investment in the group's local TV licences has been fully written down in the
Company's books, the Board believes the channels could add value either to an enlarged Milestone
Group or a third party. The future of the assets is therefore likely to be influenced by the
Company's wider strategic review which is ongoing. In the meantime, trading is expected to remain
subdued in light of the exceptionally low overheads now in place.
The Company continues to be at the forefront of campaigning for local television to gain access to
the Freeview platform post digital switchover. Meetings have been attended with both DCMS and
DTI who are now expecting to make policy decisions, with Ofcom, in the coming year."

4.4p is a vote of confidence, this would of been the best MM price offered, the MMs for a while have been hanging onto this stock not allowing any decent buys and the 4.4p trade confirms this with a way over the odds price, why ? the MMs certainly know something and im sure we shall find out soon, and with next to nothing free stock the price could move north very fast from here

All IMO

[maytrees] 05/1/2008 11:57

Greetings timely

For some reason the MSG thread on ADVFN seems beset with posters
enthusing about other cos' prospects. whereas MSG has so far
been the best investing home since September 2007
anyway when its offer share price was c.0.27p or lower.

None the less tx for raising MHG. A cursory glance indicates
some similarities fin/fundies-wise with MSG, although the financial
sector is not in the best shape atm. Whereas MSG's exit strategy
then boiled down to a voluntary closure with net
assets returned to shareholders or a RTO (maybe now a straightforward
t/o) MHG's is "focusing on its core strengths in the
areas of advisory services, investment and proprietary share trading with our
recruitment programme will generate increasing value for our shareholders".

MSG strategy when I DMOR on it in Sept. 2007
appeared to me to limit the downside for shareholders whilst offering
possibly large rewards, MHG's likewise offers the latter
but not so clearly to me anyway, the former, which is
a not uncommon investing dilemma to face.

All imho so DYOR

[maytrees] 05/1/2008 11:41

k123 greetings again. I hope you spotted the "lol" on my
post above as the suggestion that the 4.40p buy might
have been yours was intended purely as tongue in cheek comment.

You might be interested in the following extract from my earlier
post on sharecrazy:

"...Only 3 possible reasons (imho) for someone buying 100k+MSG shares
on Friday at a premium
of 33% over the published mkt sp, namely:

1. A PI having seen the share price rise almost daily for
weeks decided that investing in MSG
shares is like a licence to print money so
s/he made a buy at a wildly high share price to join in.
Unlikely imho as even the current published
sp of 3.30p is way over SC BB guesstimate
of 2.50p take out share price and a stock like
MSG hardly known outside of BB talk.

2. Insider knowledge. Legal insider knowledge
I comment on in 3. below but illegal insider
info seems highly unklikely to me. Afterall
the probability of a t/o or other shareholder
value enhancing corporate action has been
in the public domain for weeks - which is
exactly why I invested. Also risking
a criminal record for insider dealing, would hardly
be worth the bother for only a couple of thousand £s.

3. Legal insider dealing. B4 Friday Finn's last
published holding exceeded 28% of MSG's equity.
They or their clients must be involved with any
corporate action. The way the share price has been rocketing,
the longer they wait the higher the share price and the
more expensive the corporate action. My concern has been
about them walking away but no large share sales
have taken place and b4 Friday's close there were
yet again none available to buy online. The 100k+
buy at the one third premium therefore could
be the Finn team taking their holding
up to the t/o threshold. If so the 4.40p
they paid could be indicative of the offer sp
although the quote at 4.5p justb4 theclose
is interesting.

3. Above seems the most likely but an RNS next
week perhaps even on Monday should then follow.
There is I suppose a 4th possibilty namely

4. Wishful thinking

I have put these thoughts down in some detail
as if 3. above proves correct then my current
investing strategy of (trying to) limit(ing) DIY investing
to a handful of tiny caps and even then
subject to much DMOR first, may be be vindicated.
If not, re-reading the posts may assist in working
out a better method.

All imho so dyor

DYOR"

We should know more next week.

[timely] 05/1/2008 08:20

Hope you guys won't mind me asking about another stock on this bb, but you seem to be in the 'know' - has MHG appeared on your radar or are they a waste of time? Any opinions welcome.

[k123] 04/1/2008 20:08

Maytrees- No it was not.
I will have to contact few people over the weekend,maybe someone i know?
I am not ready to pay more than 3.5/3.75p,but happy to see someone has!I never thought this will get to this level.
we should look at 5p now?
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

[maytrees] 04/1/2008 19:58

Greetings k123 - I had wondered if that buy was yours;
averaging up again - lol.

I agree that news should be v. soon; hopefully next week.
Have a good w/e meanwhile.

[k123] 04/1/2008 19:40

I think is more than hope paying 4.4p for offer of 3.3p!nearly 30% more?
What are they expecting?100% 0r........
But i hope they have some information we do not.
We could be near! imo.

[maytrees] 04/1/2008 16:48

Someone bought 110K msg shares at 4.40p at the close
when the published offer share price was only 3.30p.
Presumably like myself they hope for if not expect, an RNS
v. soon.

But DYOR - I hold

[dorset64] 04/1/2008 15:15

Now the on-line buying opportunity has passed again, again there is now no on-line stock left. Must be due another tick-up one assumes.

W47 - If you hadnt noticed people tend to discuss MSG here, not the other dozen or so 100% in a day you profess.

[maytrees] 04/1/2008 14:48

Good fortune to you william47
