thinkBIG,

your news coming next week or soon is becoming a bit of a habit..it is not
materialising IS IT?...say enough times it will eventually come...if I can use that style too!...It proves you know nothing really

[andrewbatchelor] 03/8/2006 12:57

thinkBIG? - there was a trading update on 10 July. Why will this news you are expecting make any difference?

[thinkbig?] 03/8/2006 12:25

Yes i know buying has stopped but, the market in general is dead, still holding and waiting like everybody else. I know i have said news will be due!! was expecting news over the coming week, but now it will not be out till end of month!! VI is on holiday next week, will say everything is ahead of plan just have to wait, their are some big buyers waiting to buy in now as well.

You will just have to wait, will buy more when he comes back of holiday as well, no volume around now over the next two weeks every one is on holiday, I am off on the 26th for 3 weeks but will top up before then.

Still stick with 14p by results (Sept) and 10p before month end.

thinkbig..

"Staying with this one again!! starting to move of the bottom with volume last week,plenty of news due over the coming weeks, buyers have returned raised money at 8p with directors buying most off the shares target 10p by weekend"

a day left then!

[jailbird] 03/8/2006 08:58

tb,

looks like you were the only decent buyer recently or one of your mates...
volume has dried up again.

Balence small losses,which we already have some idea about from last figures aginst, growing profits from Verticles.
Local can grow at its own speed, or money from Verticles can be used to advertise.
Anyway Local has clearly grown by word of mouth on the web, advertising is not always needed for web growth.
New popular sites fly out from back bedrooms, its a whole new world.
Look at Verticles.

They will concentrate on Veticles as the story to move the sp, and if they told that at the presentation two factors are in play.
1 Wrong time, end of July.Falling market, small aim shares, not flavour of the month,let alone year.
2 As I said a few weeks ago, moving a real loss maker is traditionally a huge problem to start with.It will take more than talk on this one, real consitent profit needed.

yes more hits ham but they had more hits last half of 2005 and still lost money about the same amount of hits as now,something has to be done to increase local profits .other parts of buiseness doing well so have to hold this is medium term .

new sales team will turn touch around i suspect.

[hamidahamida] 02/8/2006 19:37

even local is getting more traffic (more hits more money)
see the traffic graph as a proof

[patviera] 02/8/2006 19:14

haydock...presentation?? buyers aint exactly flocking in!!...haydock..you say dont worry about local but they have large expenses and local wont make money without advertising so u are wrong.

[haydock] 02/8/2006 16:47

Why worry about Local at all?

If the figures for the Verticles are even anyway indicative of the future, Local will be the back number & certainly will not cause a cash flow problem going forward.It can grow at it's own speed.

Local is the red herring, Verticles has grown rapidly & unanounced, and KP, if he is even partially right is showing where the market should be looking, but it isn't.
Everybody has been missing a trick even the regulars on here.The cash flow problem could be short lived, and cash flow going forward could be very significant.
I wonder if they told the assembled throng when they did that presentation? They still have'nt told us the story.

[patviera] 02/8/2006 16:45

hamida...i dont doubt that...but surely for touchlocal to have a chance money is needed for advertising?

[hamidahamida] 02/8/2006 15:22

kp is pointing towards the massive hidden value within the group

[patviera] 02/8/2006 14:51

kingspot...noones worried about verticals/briefings...its local that isnt producing

[hamidahamida] 01/8/2006 15:39

good post kp

[kingspot] 01/8/2006 10:26

thanks every one

[kingspot] 01/8/2006 10:25

briefings already have over 1038 customers in all the vertical field so they could easly get there busniess

no wonder vincent has taken 50% of vertical revenue cheaky so and so


people are forgetting some thing here they do not need any more money things are going to plan as far as i know they are well on there way to beat the m/forcast of 11.6 million t/o
They have started to understate and over deliver ie first they were going to do 50 reports now it will be more than 60 reports


Lets talk about.......THE VERTICALS
.............The Jewel in the Crown

Each vertical will have 1000 suppliers they are charging 2000 pound per year per supplier

Briefings aims to get 30 verticals fully functional by the end of 2006

1000 suppliers* 2000= 2 million pound per year per vertical

They will have 30 verticals =========potential 60 million revenue per year

I think verticals have the potential to be the bigggggggest part of the group

Check out the big names they have signed up already

[kingspot] 31/7/2006 09:08

they are in it for money more prints more money
my above post goes to show the potenial of verticals alone
just think how much value it would add to briefings

[patviera] 30/7/2006 21:55

kingspot...they may produce more journals but are they receiving what they budgeted for for each journal?

[kingspot] 30/7/2006 21:11

Just goes to show how under valued touch group is right now

who are the 3 major shareholders and how many do they have?...my main concern is that if they dont raise the cash then touch local will have a negative value due to high related costs/wages....leaving us with a cash drain vs a profitable briefings bus.

[thinkbig?] 30/7/2006 18:29

Touch Group PLC has a total of 3 major shareholders.

Together they account for 29.36% of the total shares in issue.
