Don't know why they are offering at 2 when you can buy at 1.35

Cart,

in all fairness I can't see a Sport reader doing a cover to cover read so maybe they can charge a little extra in a 40 page version??

Good spot though. Less staff also required if the paper is smaller..mmm

Chaps,

any uplift in circulation figure will go straight to the bottom line. It does seem like they are now on the right track.

They're relying on RBS to give a holiday on loan payments. I can see the daily mail headline now.

'State owned bank props up porn empire'

Had a little punt in this from todays results. Fingers crossed.

[pedro57] 30/9/2010 14:13

I agree with your assessment, currently company is priced for going bust and today's interims have shown that company is generating enough cash to pay interest cost. The key question is where do we go from here and whether we will see institutional interest and new investors in the stock. Net debt is significant, but if the company were ever to improve the operational performance the improvement over current trading would be considerable. It would also be good to see some director buying, which so far has not been the case. The underlying value of company is a multiple of the current share price, but question is how soon will this crystallise?

[luchan] 30/9/2010 11:34

Chaps,

SPMG is priced to go bust which is not the case looking at todays interims.
In rude health they are not but at the current market cap the co. does look to have upside now.

I think Lloyds has offloaded their stake given that they moved to below 3% in mid-Aug and since then we had a continuation of days with heavy trading volumes.

[luchan] 28/9/2010 12:24

Chaps,

have Lloyds completed their off load?

luchan.

[pedro57] 28/9/2010 12:13

There was a big 500K buy order that went through mopping up some cheap shares. Interim results should be out in the next two days given bombed out sentiment SPMG could be on the radar of some investors.

[morkandmindy] 28/9/2010 11:57

Price ticking up - any idea why?

[pedro57] 25/9/2010 18:50

The merger of LLoyds with HBOS caused a rationalisation of two funds, affecting the share price of several Aim shares.

[vulgaris] 25/9/2010 15:08

@pedro57

why is Lloyds a 'forced' seller?

[pedro57] 24/9/2010 11:03

Next week should be exciting with release of interim results; in my view these results will be make or break for this company. Reading through previous announcements the results should underline that the worst is over and path to recovery is taking place, but company has pretty much disappointed on all results for the past three years so the jury is still out. Although there has been significant share buying of individual small-time shareholders over past months, particularly in August, this has had no impact on the share price and excess volumes from the Lloyds selling has bombed out share price to an all-time low. My feeling is that there is still a share overhang, but it could be cleared on one day of good volume if interim results next week show that the worst is over. If this is the place shares could re-rate quite quickly.

[pedro57] 21/9/2010 12:38

Interim results should be released before the end of September given that AIM listed companies have to announce their results within three months of period end (in this case 30 June). Results will be of significant interest to the market as the key question is how much has net financial debt been reduced and what current level of profitability is. This stock has been sold down significantly given forced seller Lloyds, which has sold shares no matter how low he share price has been.

[golla] 21/9/2010 09:59

Whats happening here?When is the result?

[bryproj] 17/9/2010 15:12

Does LLoyds still own any shares?
