Latest on the company brokers Astaire

Andrew Monk, the former chief executive of Astaire Securities, was fuming today after he was turfed out of the stockbroker's annual meeting.

Security guards ensured Monk, who is the fourth-largest shareholder in the troubled broker, did not get into the meeting at Hanover Square.

Astaire employed a technicality - Monk's shares are held in a nominee account - to avoid facing questions from the former boss.

Monk said he had intended to ask directors about their strategy for returning cash to investors.

The shares have slumped from 13p to 1p.

"It is pretty pathetic," said Monk. "They are being disgraceful and they know it."

Astaire bought Blue Oar Securities this year and then tried to buy Hoodless Brennan.

It later uncovered a hole in the accounts of a subsidiary.

Monk said: "The directors have been totally irresponsible and mismanaged the business."

Astraire said the meeting is only for direct shareholders.

A spokesman said: "It's just a shame from his point of view that he has not got his paper work together in time."

Or perhaps the company is going to delist as so many AIM companies have this year. Either way, WKS has been a disaster for investors.

WKS is a nice little company but personally I don't see it as completely ready for a big investment; from me anyway. In 2008 they may be able to demonstrate significantly growing revenues and profits, but this year they have thus far only demonstrated a loss, and used words like 'redundancy and reorganisation costs'. Red flags to most investors as it spells a wait. There will be time to get on board even if not at today's very low cost level.

It's clear they are working very hard to turn the business round and they have picked up some very nice films, but as a distribution company they lag way behind CFL. ContentFilm went through this tough stage about 18 months ago and now are expanding their revenues and profits at a rate of about 100% pa. People have been put off CFL because of the withdrawal of the venture capitalist but behind that it's clear they are motoring much faster than WKS.

WKS is certainly a stock to keep a close watch on though.They will have an interesting next 12 months. I'd love to see them do well as it would be good for everyone in the sector.

Yeah what a great week - the price collapses to 70% fall, the directors shaft private investors, there will soon be 30 million new shares that no-one will want ..... Oh and will they get this placing away now? No quick profit now. They might have to dump them on the mkt.

This is NOT good for the WKS business!

Been watching WKS, thought of buying in earlier this week, glad I didn't now!

Seeing the fall on this news, could be an excellent time for me and other new investors to pile in. BUT, having seen the way existing holders have been shafted, do I really want to be invested in this company, after all if they can do this, what's to stop them doing something similar again?

Good luck to all who hold, I hope the share price bounces back and the cash raised is put to good use.

You cannot argue with that. The fact that they have got two major films coming out seems to count for nothing. I am so annoyed / upset because I thought THIS management would not rip off investors like so many Aim stocks. They just have not diluted in the past and all the signs were that the company had turned a corner. Now we have 30 million shares looking for a home in a small thinly traded AIM share that has really shafted its current investors; who will buy them? Only those hoping to make a quick buck.

I saw all this with NMI- the Director was regularly writing to me to tell me how well the company was doing (with the shares at 4p). He "forgot" to mention a sudden monster 1p placing by City Equities; I got out at 2p. Tonight the shares are just 0.2p.

Believe me Scottie, that overhang will take some time to clear. Oh and what then? If the price starts to recover, will the directors dump a further 100 milion at one penny? Naturally, they will all participate in the placing. Then they can sell the entire company at 3p a share which will be rather handy for them. The tame "independent" Director is not going to object - "trebles all round".

Once Directors start this little game, it becomes easier. GME has been getting away with it for ages. IDD is another horror story. As for HCEG, when they found out how easy it all was to buy the sweeties....

Its a question of trust - and I have little left tonight. AIM is becoming the fastest way to lose money in the stock market. You buy shares at 5.5p one day and then find out the very next day that the directors and unknown others are buying the same shares at 2p. It would have been easier to have sent them a few grand for nothing.

Yes that is why the AIM mkt is down 30% in a rising mkt and investors are deserting it. I appreciate they want to raise some capital but at 2p! Crispion Barker bought a load at prices up to 13.5p - he is now averaging down big time.

Come on its an outrage and why so many folk are deserting AIM stocks. The directors have awarded themselmes millions of shares at one third of the mkt price of yesterday. They dont care less about the losses incurred by private investors.
