That was a painfully slow progressive takeover!

CEO Keith gets a nice golden handshake for his share holding. Won't need to work for a few years!

Be interesting to see where spg goes now.

I'd sell at 12.25 I wouldn't gamble on Progessive going to fruition for a 5% premium over 12.25 at 13p
What they (SPM) had been planning was to hold the stock at 9p and offer a rights issue at at least 7p before letting the price slide back before the new stock reached your account, to 4.75p then buy back without telling the SE.
The real value of this company as it stands is intangible since it has always been a conduit where revenue after expenses goes to the salesmen to feed their drug habits, note how it hovers at breakeven regardless of turnover for about 6 years now.
This is a stock where the company and the mm's are in collaboration so not like NAE where I re4commended waiting for the 460p, tho I took 447 myself to take the kids on hols

This share has just come alive - but no news posted - any ideas anyone?

The 'who' could be a rival company who just want to take a curious peek at their books. Either that who someone fishing around to see if they could salvage something on the ridiculously cheap from a business in decline.

On current trends SM is loss making, losing cash, has a 5 year decline in tangible assets,and similarly a horrible decline in turnover.

If the 'titles' had an value than SPM would be extracted it from them. Similarly, the interims were promising a lot of q4 'catch up' in events. Events revenue was down.

Spiritbear - youre right its a snakepit, but if you hold then you too have seen the value of your investment go up 30 - 40%, and lets face it this shares been a dog so I'm not complaining on this rise.
What stinks is DOWNWARD manipulation: small sells to suppress the price, negative attacks on bb's to suppress the price etc. etc. in order to maximise profit when the good news is made public.I dont think there is an even playing field.
There was a brief period at the end of the last century when it evened up - the city was shouting to the roof tops about the power of the internet without realising its impact on their own line of business and briefly pi's were able to access information and trade on the internet in a way that had previously been the preserve of financial institutions: this particularly impacted on momentum investing.For the first time the city was chasing the game, and we had the tech boom with ludicrous overvaluations,pi's sitting on huge gains which they then lost if they were too greedy and believed their own hype when the fight back started, and failed to sell in time.The rest, as they say is history - the city has now learnt to use boards like this to manipulate sentiment, and a market maker with a strategy is always going to be ahead of you and me because they have the power, and better information systems, to move the share price.
In the case of this share I think inod is right - ultimately its too small to really matter and the turnover has not been large enough to suggest anything really dark.Personally I'm just hoping this leads to a decent offer and I can move on.
In this particular case if you were the suitor company you would I assume look to buy as many shares as you could, at the lowest possible price, without declaring your hand : I certainly would, in order to offset dead management time in the event of a failed bid.

DavidB - You seem to have changed your tune...we did try to tell you! Do you still feel this could be a take over target?

Both Steve and the new CEO own a vast amount of shares as they tried to prevent a take over, but with Steve now gone, I'm not sure what happens to his share of the pie.

Do you think Steve N. will use his share plus the investors that he brought in for a take over? Will he have the Will power to walk away? It's time for a new twist!

Haven't checked this stock out for some time, but I come back to see the whole boardroom thing turning into something out of Dallas!

So Steve's on gardening leave eh? If you're around Mr N, I have about three quarters of an acre which I really can't be bothered with in this heat. I'll slip you a few quid if you're interested. :-)

SPM and comedy value. You heard it here first.

I see that there are a number of Board Directors that Steve has employed over recent times from print publishing backgrounds e.g. Emap, Reed, Mirror Group etc. And they may not have agreed with Steve on his new direction with Print. i.e. End it. This could have led to a split in the Boardroom voting Steve off. It wouldn't be difficult to use the last three years results and share price as an excuse to wield the axe.

This I think is what has backfired on Steve.

Bloody good show Steve!

And there you have it...if you live by the bullet, you die by the bullet! This time administered by the Board.

"SPG Media Group PLC said its Chief Executive, Steve Nicholson, has been placed on gardening leave with immediate effect. Until a successor is appointed Keith Sadler, Finance Director, has assumed responsibility for the day-to-day running of the business."

Even in good times, nothing is ever straight forward for SPG.

Now, this makes SPG prime for a take over...do we have any bidders?

The comic value still strong though.

There must be more to this than Steve firing/resigning of one Non-Exec Director? Perhaps with the realisation of 'The End of Print is Nigh!' The Print section being worthless to sell as an asset had meant a few Steve silver bullets to Print Sales Directors. And maybe this has caused chaos in the Boardroom.

Now where does Chris Blake fit into this as a Director of the audit, nominations and remuneration committees? Share dealing scandal? And both Steve and Chris asked to leave?

I have to say, that I really look forward to the next couple of weeks as to how things unfold in the SPG saga.

qut, are we also investment mates with Profile Media, as I've seen you post on there a couple of time too (well, a couple more LOL's anyway). I bought the odd few thousand the other day. Do you reckon it's a good investment? Now that's what I call good timing - or was it just the masterstroke of a stock market genius? 0)

Top share price riser of the day. wooohooo! Another decent rise on Moday too, methinks.

I can predict decent share price risers, but obviously not the date of spm's release of final year results. End of this week? It's been and gone, and still no news. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be next week. Right now I'm off to the pub to part with some of the winnings from PMD. I might even chip in a round for some of the regulars, as I'm that kind of jovial, fun loving guy. 0)
