yep !!

why oh why did i get into this ( rude words ) ?

neither is dealing blind a sensible investment strategy ... From my stand point ..as i see things Leo appears to issue share and options like spreading confetti ..One of the reasons to see very little hope or prospect of a real capital return and none whatsoever of earning any income from the shares in the next 12 months ..
This could all change but it depends on who joins the company !!! .. personally I believe the company needs a board room addition and a major shake up ....or this company will remain as an investment avoided by institutions and retail clients ...

Jaknife ...if I do not seem to know what I am talking about ..then I am very pleased to be corrected by you or anyone else if I am at fault in my opinion ?

talking with someone very influential in the city.. warned me that he knows all about Leo and shaking hands with him ....be advised ..you should always count your fingers afterwards ....

I currently do not hold a single share in what is effectively a plc being managed almost along the same lines as a privatly managed company... However the company does appear to have a decent infrastructure already established although I havn't personally seen the main offices yet !!!

a share rises 28% on a share qoute that has a 35% dealing spread doesnt mean much to me without volume. prehaps someone is trying to pick up a holding.. who knows ?

2/ - listen to JakNife - he is respected . If he says this is pile of xxx

3/ - I thought you were going to take a substantial stake in this
company - maybe i've misread your posts .

Has it just taken off or has someone swooped?

A falcon (fɔlkən or fælkən) is any species of raptor in the genus Falco. The word comes from their Latin name falco, related to Latin falx ("sickle") because of the shape of these birds' wings.

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a tail of beautiful gold and red plumage (or purple and blue, by some sources [1]). It has a 1,000 year life-cycle, and near the end the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises. The new phoenix is destined to live, usually, as long as the old one. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egypt city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek). The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible - it is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and give him/her temporary immortality; a symbol of fire and divinity.

Just a further thought for the bank holiday

I wonder who dreamt up the company name Falcon...sounds much more like the name of a Mexican mining company than a city firm of stockbrokers ....having said this ...nothing much wrong with Mexican mining companies ;O) lol

Leo is too old and too long in the tooth to change his ways at this stage of his career ...so yes his company can be turned around but only with a change in leadership, attitude and positive direction !!!!

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007


This has been a year of establishing two complementary stockbroking businesses
and given the economic climate the Board is very satisfied to be reporting a
profit, on the operating level at least, and believes that given the momentum
of each business the Group will be well placed to take advantage when market
volumes and activity return to normal levels. I look forward to reporting
further progress to you in the future.

if you do make contact with leo please post your findings thanks!!
