Massive "T" trades also fuelling the rise...somebody obviously knows something

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 12:27 - 1434 of 2037

Could be Mr Currie again, he seems to know his stuff.

AdieH - 29 Jun 2007 12:35 - 1435 of 2037

Yes just noticed that Beemer, seems like rumour is gathering pace... Likely to fall back abit unless we confirmation of this potential buy out, guess RW is very busy at present... If the SP keeps increasing I would guess COH will release a RNS to either confirm or deny... The quote of American coffee house interests me as we found out recently that Starbucks are entering market through Franchise so would they really be interested in going for COH at this stage, personally I doubt it but can't think of another that would be willing to compete with Starbucks, any views?

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 12:36 - 1436 of 2037

Well still waiting Mr BMW show me and this BB just one incorrect word that I have posted against COH.

I can show you a pile of emails supporting my evalaution of the company.

Seems the only people I offend as those with the most to lose.

Yes I note the buys todays and good luck to all. Unfortunately they wont lift the SP as its the MMs ploy to mark the SP down later in the day.

Have a really nice day

Don't think it is Bill...but he does back winners.

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 12:38 - 1438 of 2037

Like COH at 48p do you mean?

beemer2 - 29 Jun 2007 12:41 - 1439 of 2037

AdeiH

I have always said COH would be taken out...this could be a newspaper rumour at the moment, but it will happen in the future, there is no doubt about that.

AdieH - 29 Jun 2007 12:47 - 1440 of 2037

Yes totally agree and when I purchased that was one of the reasons that if the company got it right then logic says one of the big boys would snap it up... I was hoping we would get to 100 stores before that would happen... Its happened with a couple of shares i've purchased and i've done very well out of it but I believe COH would be worth alot more if we could get to 100 stores... before takeover...

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 12:49 - 1441 of 2037

But gentlemen are you not forgetting Mr Worthington's statement, that COH is not for sale---Or could it be another shareholder sell out is on the cards?

beemer2 - 29 Jun 2007 12:50 - 1442 of 2037

Totally agree...

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 12:53 - 1443 of 2037

so you agree that yet a shareholder sell out is possible. Thank you sense at last!

AdieH - 29 Jun 2007 12:55 - 1444 of 2037

Of course the CEO would say company is not for sale... Oh excuse me sir would you be willing to sell your company, shows how much you know about business... Does he want the best possible price if they are to sell of course you would say No... From a personal point of view i'm sure he wants to see the company grow see my previous comment, he was at Estee Lauder for some time building the company but market forces will dictate if COH is sold... Anyway for us med/longers its great news as it is only building the profile of Coffee Heaven.

Your comment about another shareholder is another of stupid ill thought out comments have you seen the trades today... 1/2 million T trade does that look like someone is dumping stock... You should have followed through you said it would go 35p it did but you didnt buy are you feeling like you missed the boat... your on the submarine my friend... and were on the jolly ship Coffee Heaven...

I was agreeing with AdieH, not you, you idiot.

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 13:01 - 1446 of 2037

What Mr Worthington said was that he felt the cost of each store was too high too make a bid for COH a feasable option and that it ws not for sale in any event.

Yes I have seem the trades today just like I saw them at 49p. I never said anyone was dumping stock please get it right!

It will still fall back to 35p and below.

I said I would never buy COH if you recall so 35p or 25p does not bother me as its still only worth its NAV ie 6p

David10B - 29 Jun 2007 13:02 - 1447 of 2037

Does not seem that way as the tread reads, please be more dilligent and take more time to consider your postings

Your "tread" is a bit worn...time you had an MOT.

beemer2 - 29 Jun 2007 13:14 - 1449 of 2037

250,000 buy at a premium price...looking good.

beemer2 - 29 Jun 2007 13:58 - 1450 of 2037

SP still going north...pissed off all the doom mongers no doubt.

ptholden - 29 Jun 2007 14:01 - 1451 of 2037

L2 looking quite encouraging, 7 out of 8 MMs on the Bid, just KBC on the offer. Seemingly short of stock, FWIW

beemer2 - 29 Jun 2007 14:04 - 1452 of 2037

ptholden

Thanks for that..very encouraging
