Should I sell my ADVFN shares? (AFN)
Stuckinrut - 18 Feb 2003 10:04
Been a holder for too long but now getting very nervous, bought at 6p. The share price has held up in the last few months but looks like the market makers were dumping stock yesterday. I presume there are some concerns now that they have a competitor but also at a stroke they have wiped out some of their income and path to profits by reducing prices last week.
I sold 100,000 yesterday and am in 2 minds what to do next, anyone holding or selling? Anyone know how much cash they have left as its not too clear from the Annual Report?
Thanks Stuckinrut

Quite apart from their future prospects, 'tis a bit late to be nervous. You should have been very nervous around 5p. Until yesterday you could have sold at 1p, which would have represented an 80% loss on your investment. You sound as though you would have been quite relaxed about that.
There's not really much point in worrying about the other 20% at this point.

Diffrent picture showing now, glad I kept hold of my position built up downwards from 10p..just gotta wait for the mark..and its a long wait :-(

Sold some of mine yesterday and balance today. I wonder how the sale of Ample(iii) is progressing. Heard rumours that ADVFN where trying to do a deal but didnt iii lose millions before it was bought by AMP? The time taken to manage such an operation after it has been through so many corporate hands will be a nightmare and a huge cash drain surely. Scary.

Are they bust,ie, finance, or is this a tech thing?

romanway:> I was told when I phoned it was a techie thing. however down a lot longer than usual - BUT if finance I would have expected rumours and so far as I am aware there have been none. Certainly based on the quality of the Threads I follow they seem to atract more posters some of whom are v-knowledgeable.

They are looking for electricians for Colt Telecom to help out as total power failure in their building, I presume that is where ADVFN is hosted.
