End-of-day Market Summary

Have a good weekend traders! Don't let anyone make a fool of you in the morning.... ;-)

G.

nbsp          JOKE OF THE DAY

Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette
after not seeing one another for some time.

After inquiring about each other's health,
one asked how the other's husband was doing.

"Oh! Ted died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up
a cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped down dead
right there in the middle of the vegetable patch!"

"Oh dear! I'm very sorry." replied her friend
"What did you do?"

"Opened a can of peas instead."

                  

Probably a bit late to be asking this, but does anyone have any info re the imminent floatation of XYZeetrak (XYZ) ?

"The first of April, some do say,
Is set apart for All Fools' Day.
But why the people call it so,
Nor I, nor they themselves do know.
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment."
~Poor Robin's Almanac (1790)~

APRIL FOOL POEM
Small April sobbed I'm going to cry
Please give me a cloud to wipe my eye
Then April Fool she laughed instead
And smiled a rainbow overhead.

Juzzle
Earlier plans to list simultaneously in both London and New York have apparently been deferred. The NY listing will come later.

Latest indications are of a likely launch price somewhere between 115p and 125p.

I could only get this from the press..........

"..Savvy investors are this weekend fighting to get their names registered
for shares in a small company which is being fast-tracked for launch on
London's Alternative Investments Market (AIM) this month.

XYZeetrak has already won itself a huge customer base in little over
8 months of trading, relying entirely on a viral marketing scheme.
It specialises in a tracking service available to any user of current generation mobile
phones, at a tiny fraction of the price of any other tracking system on the
market. It is already attracting the attention of the biggest names in the
field, two of whom are rumoured to have attempted a buyout ahead of the
proposed floatation. The company however is adamant that the float will go
ahead. Analysts are convinced that if it does so, the share price will be
quickly driven to a huge premium, especially as the predators who have so far
been rebuffed are likely to continue pursuing a company which seems to have
stolen a march with some amazingly clever and cheap-to-produce technology that
is expected to achieve immediate worldwide success.

Controversially, the company is promoting itself using large grafitti images,
some of which are then featured on billboards. An approach which recalls
the shock tactics employed by the fashion firm Benetton, and the betting
firm PaddyPower - which many critics condemn as irresponsible.

The co-founders, Val Mitrenko and Clive Pearl, who first met at Edinburgh
University, already have two successful businesses to their name. One of them
in the fast growing wi-fi field and another in property - the latter utilising
profits from their earlier projects and from this latest XYZeetrak phenomenon.
Together with two other directors they will initially retain 45% of the shares.
Institutional buyers are thought to have already laid claim to more than half
of the rest..."
