Views on NETeller please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get in or get out, any comments welcome.............................

My worst performer this year by some margin - serves me right for breaking one of my golden rules and investing in a non dividend paying business. Bought at just over 7 and stopped out on most at 6.(Broke another rule by not selling the lot). According to RNS, as at end Sept has $200M free cash and by the time they stop accepting any US business that may be up to another $50M. No debt so unlikely to go bust and the intangibles in their balance sheet much less than in FPA before recent writedown. So what happens when they lose 70-75% of their business? All imo rests with quality of management and I currently am considering averaging down on present holding (thereby breaking another rule).May be better to wait for next results to see level of writeoffs and strategy going forward, but one to watch. Always DYOR etc.

Morgan Stanley has bailed out of NLR and UBS AG has reduced its stake from 4.04% to 3.68% today

Next scheduled trading update on Thursday 18th January 2007 - any one have any views? Been moving up nicely over the last few weeks...

Bad news again today...2 former directors of NLR had been detained by the Feds in the US. Looks like there is some dodgy dealings although they are ex-directors. Otherwise why would NLR SUSPEND itself???

looks like the yanks have planned this...i bet they have gone short on neteller but perhaps didn't count on them suspending the share...hope they get released on no charges and after suspension is lifted hopefully after trading statement it will rocket 200p+

No chance of that:

Billion dollar laundry

The US has a dim view of Neteller, clearly.

BARSTARDS!!

Could this be a sad end to what should have been a great story?

Interesting development.

e-Wallets Neteller to be Replaced by YouTeller

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - London, United Kingdom, 01/30/2007 -

Shortly after Neteller announced its decision to pull out of the US gaming market on January 18, the London-based technology company Seed Capital Ltd. introduced a new payment processing service 'YouTeller.com'.

"We will start in March with a revolution in simplicity of worldwide online payments. Everybody who can download songs or play online games will now be able to pay for that instantly," said Johannes Knierzinger, CEO and co-founder.

On Monday the British Financial Services Authority (FSA) granted YouTeller the "Small E-Money Issuer Certificate", therefore making it possible to operate as an e-wallet. "The FSA has already given us the green light. We will begin services after the server-security testing period is completed," said Florian Schweitzer, company spokesman and co-founder. It took three month to develop the new online payment framework.

"We have no overseas branch in a NAFTA-country like Neteller or Citadel, so we are not affected by US legislation," underlined Schweitzer. YouTeller is part of an international lobbying task force that works on the issue 'worldwide online payments' with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the European Union.

The WTO has again ruled against the United States in favor of Antigua and Barbuda, this time for not taking "the necessary steps to comply" with the April 2005 WTO ruling to correct discrimination against foreign internet gambling operators, Reuters reported late last week.

Earlier this month, federal officials arrested the founders of Neteller, an Isle of Man-based online payment processor, while they were in the US to switch planes. John Lefebvre and Stephen Lawrence are set to fight the charges laid against them when they appear in court in February.
