INTELLIGENT INVESTING WITH BANJO,well sort of! (Ed-hmmmm-lol)

Galleon Holdings plc has three key divisions:Galleon Entertainment for entertainment type IP,Croco Worldwide for product IP,Phoenix for interactive TV services for broadcasters in China/South East Asia which includes Robot Information Technology (Lushy Assets ('Yunbo')) who are a wireless interactive platform service provider in China who will work alongside Phoenix to enable GON to hold on to a greater part of the generated revenue and so increase the profit margin......think that's the plan! :-)

This makes Galleon Holdings a 'One Stop Shop' to develop and complete new and existing IP's.

Here is the website for Radio Television Malaysia the TV station broadcasting SSS (auto scrolls in big window near base of page)

I note with interest that there is a 'Roadshow' event being held on the 25th October 2008 for 'On Ground Recruitment'.

As I have said a number of times the SSS ethos is spot on for this part of the world or any part of the globe come to that but more especially in this region as in it ticks all the right boxes.

CHELSEA FC WANTS YOU!

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 - Just 10 days since registration for Super Soccer Star opened, and over 1,800 hopefuls have already signed up and are presently garnering votes to become the next Super Soccer Star! The response is overwhelming, and if you havent already signed up, you can do so before November 9, 2008.

These hopefuls have signed up for a chance to join some of the worlds best young football talent at the Chelsea Youth Academy in London.

Super Soccer Star is a reality TV programme that is making EPL dreams come true and is an opportunity that should not be missed for all young Malaysian footballers between 13 and 16 years of age.

Apart from online registration, the Super Soccer Star crew will be making visits to several locations within the Klang Valley to allow for on-ground registration. Check out more information here .

300 registered users with the highest number of votes will be selected for an actual try-out on 16 November 2008, out of which, only 20 of the best will stand a chance to continue on this reality TV programme that will air for 13 episodes, beginning 18 December 2008.

Stay tuned for more weekly updates on www.supersoccerstar.com.my!

Galleon claims good progress

Companies: GON
07/10/2008

Entertainment media group Galleon Holdings says it anticipates annual profits at least in line with market expectations.

London-based Galleon, which chalked up a maiden first-half pre-tax profit of 355,000 in the six months to March, is upbeat about the full year to September. In a confident trading statement, the AIM-quoted company, which focuses on entertainment for China and various emerging markets, says one of its recent acquisitions, Yunbo, has become the tenth largest mobile service provider in the Peoples Republic.

Galleon, which has agreed a strategic partnership with Dragonfruit Studios of Atlanta, is faring well with products, notably Chinese interactive TV talent show Super Soccer Stars and Apollos Pad, an online animated sitcom aimed at a young male audience. At 15.75p, the shares have worse than halved in a year and should achieve a re-rating if more normal stock market conditions return and its projects continue to bear fruit.

OMG IS FUELLED BY DESIRE (Not that OMG-lol)

Tell us what you hope to see soon in the industry

I think as custodians of our own future, our own industry, we really need to be more careful with what we are doing. I dont have the best advice for anybody per se, but Im adamant about this. We have to concentrate on making our people better and not let them just leave, for one thing. I want to see people who think laterally, who are explorers.

I am proud of being part of the OMG connection, and am grateful to our team at OMG (Malaysia) for the accomplishments gained. Im also fired up about OMGs involvement with a new show called Front Page, slated to be one of the highest rated shows on Ntv7 in the fall. Its a brainchild of The Star, enabled by Media Prima, and produced by Juita Videna guaranteed success! OMG has taken a leading role in securing the sponsors for this show, and thats just the beginning!

We will be fully committed to identifying and supporting on behalf of our clients the shows and productions that elevate our brands to a true level of engagement with the target audience. Activation of brands happens in such ways, and these productions we select can be a catalyst for successful brand building.

Our very next project will be the making of a reality-TV show called Super Soccer Star (SSS), which will be rolled out in the Asia Pacific region from 2009 and beyond. The show, which surrounds the quest to discover which talented Malaysian teenager will make the best Super Soccer Star, is fully supported by the Chelsea FC. Watch out for more details and announcements to come soon!

It would appear there are now 3331 SSS hopefuls signed up which may have had something to do with yesterdays roadshow:

RDF Media unveils powerful MIPCOM slate

I still find it odd that Dragonfruit Studios don't have an official website up and running,very strange!

Just typing aloud :-)

The reason for the above statement is that Dragonfruit Studios is run by Michael Koziol and Melissa Honabach who if you read the link in the header:

Latest News/Events

CLIK HERE FOR SOME BACKGROUND INFO.ON Michael Koziol and Melissa Honabach (DRAGONFRUIT STUDIOS)

appear to have omitted their own rules on bringing things to the fore,so to speak!

Is this intentional,well you would think so! Are they building Dragonfruit Studios up before they commit,that's my view but who knows?

Another roadshow:

Butir-butir:
Sabtu, 1 November 2008
Padang Semarak RTM, Angkasapuri, Kuala Lumpur
Pendaftaran bermula dari pukul 8.30am sampai 3.00pm

http://supersoccerstar.com.my/roadshow.php

And it would appear that there are now 3666 registrations,which is nice! :-)

Edit-I say 'appear' as although there is near enough 130 pages which are grouped into 16 people on each page there is however a bit of a void between last page and first.This may be due to the time it takes to update what would be 3666 (at last count),actual webspace or they are just waiting for the closing date for entries IE November 9th to complete.

It hasn't gone unnoticed that GON have not updated their website since the 24th September where at least the Trading Statement should have been added (7th October).

Not saying it's good or bad just interesting so made a point of noting me thoughts.

Might have to wait until Final Results or perhaps a trading statement before then and then I think we may see a good old fashioned re-rating of say 30p.Just typing aloud really and all depends if GON can prove they are worth that valuation,this would then stimulate trading.
Another option might be an acquisition via a placing to enable big chunks to be purchased by the major players and highlight GON in the general market place.

Think I've rambled enough! :-)

And it would appear that there are now 3984 registered for SSS
