Hmm interesting. Financial troubles or potential bid or director disagreement...take your pick. Maybe Crispin will launch a bid?

[8trader] 16/3/2009 12:54

Crispin resigns ???

I'm guessing he's the biggest shareholder at 23% ?

[topvest] 17/11/2008 08:55

Yes, interesting. Mongol still in the UK charts + sold to BBC I think. This film will be a good money spinner for some time.

[zedder] 14/11/2008 23:25

Looks like someone has done some good work. Just saw a Film4 advert. Mentioned Venus, Brick Lane etc. Possibly saw 5 or 6 of the WKS slate trailored.

[ldmachin] 06/11/2008 01:24

I don't think these have been mentioned yet? or announced via the market? New international titles:

Loft
Rain
Unspoken
Beautiful Kate (mentioned in the interim results)



2 of which are being screened at AFM 2008 this week:

Once again the price rises with no purchases. This week last year CB raised his stake.

Coincidence?

[topvest] 18/10/2008 15:38

Mongol still doing well in the DVD charts. Should be a good money spinner for WKS.

[swag2] 07/10/2008 18:55

lol - somethings never change with WKS (formerly CCN). 'Cautiously optimistic'!

Remember 20p anyone?? ;-)

Watched the Mongol DVD last night - very good actually. Should sell well for years. Spectacular footage.

[3104jasper] 06/10/2008 15:17

On that basis, which I do not beleive is connected to the current financial issues, I topped up a little more at 1p.

Bargain R What. ???

[ldmachin] 05/10/2008 23:13

Mongol is 33 on amazon.co.uk's DVD sales rank:



Which is pretty good for a foreign, subtitled movie.

... and number 10 on the best sellers on play.com. Which is smashing:

[topvest] 04/10/2008 14:03

See Mongol is doing well in DVD format in the high street. Number 7 in WHS and lots of profile as a new release in HMV. Bodes well!

Eggbird.

I did take profits only because it was a rare chance to sell size so
i could not be greedy and wait for a better price if all they would
let you sell on it was say 25k.

[eggbird] 02/9/2008 14:48

a £400 sell knocks 23% of the sp!! now thats volitile, results out in a few weeks time, then I reckon Barker will be buying again, and much more than £400 worth ;-)

[3104jasper] 21/8/2008 16:37

So CB owns nearly 25% of the shares.

Has anyone calculated his average cost price?

If ( and this is a big if ) CFL are interested in WKS, a bid must surely have to be substantially above his average cost price.

I think he will continue to buy more as and when available.

I will continue also to add as I think this company will thrive on the basis of their business plan or they will be taken over.

GL to all.

[eggbird] 21/8/2008 14:06

Well, someone has shown their confidence by purchasing a whoping 20 shares, round about 30 pence worth!! ;-)

[ldmachin] 21/8/2008 12:10

The share price has risen in the past couple of days on very little (basically non-existant buying)... the logical conclusion is that the market makers are trying to fill a limit order that has been placed. Maybe Barker has put in another buy order for x amount under 2p or something similar... and the MMs need some selling to fill that order amount.

[eggbird] 21/8/2008 07:42

hmmmmm, interesting!

[michaelmouse] 21/8/2008 07:25

CFL about to bid for WKS looks most likely?? Both SP's rising. WKS looks a good fit?

Michael.

[eggbird] 21/8/2008 07:20

Nice bit of upward movement the last few days, maybe we will see a decent run up to results day.

[eggbird] 20/8/2008 16:07

Was that you taking your profit today 8T? If so congrats, thats a nice % on a few days holding.

Anyone know which day the results are due out??

TIA
