BKE - stupid little company with 0.5m cap ..... if someone sneezes with 20000 shares, the price will rocket/slump

COH - sp heading into o'bought territory so would not be buying at this juncture

Cynic

"Do not confuse the size of and population of a country with its appetite for coffee shops!"

I'm not....having worked for a total of 9 years in Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and currently Sweden, I know for a fact that they all have a huge appetite for coffee....morning, noon and night. That is to say, good coffee, because you have to bear in mind that, (excluding Sweden but including the old East Germany), the quality of the coffee available during the soviet era was, according to the locals, dire to say the least.

Having visited the COH outlets in both Warsaw and Prague a few times I was very impressed with the number of local customers, (not tourists), using both of the outlets. The coffee and service was excellent, fast and the prices were very reasonable, not like the rip-off prices charged in the UK.

My (small) home town in the UK has three major brand coffee outlets in the town centre which seem to be well patronised....so why not elsewhere in eastern europe? Especially if the prices are tailored to suit the local economy (which seem to be on the up and up).

COH sells good coffee in super surroundings.....and the locals love it. They view the 'coffee shop' experience as something modern and very Western European. They are the 'new tourists' and, having visited France, Italy and Spain etc. they want the same at home. My god, you have only to look at the original soviet non-expresso machine era coffee shops that are still in operation to see just what a change there has been. Yes, you can get a coffee in them......if you don't mind waiting 30 minutes!!

The reason I invested in COH was down to purely down to my own personal experience in both Warsaw and Prague. Good job COH....keep it up!!

However, if COH only sold tea, I really would be worried :>)

beemer2 - 06 Jul 2007 11:20 - 1659 of 2037

AdieH - 06 Jul 2007 11:34 - 1660 of 2037

David10B - 06 Jul 2007 11:41 - 1661 of 2037

Is that T bone or fillet as thats the only "stake" you will see.

The price continues to slip back so no one knows what to buy at.

beemer2 - 06 Jul 2007 16:06 - 1662 of 2037

BKE continues to rise...SP now 50%+ up.

COH will continue to rise.

beemer2 - 06 Jul 2007 16:09 - 1663 of 2037

Been a good day for RW...well dserved.

David10B - 06 Jul 2007 21:09 - 1664 of 2037

Please seriously read my comments on these two companies.

Have a great weekend

beemer2 - 06 Jul 2007 22:46 - 1665 of 2037

Now why do you think any intelligent poster would want to read your rubbish...you are a joke.

AdieH - 07 Jul 2007 08:45 - 1666 of 2037

Most intelligent people have squelched him... Off to Wimbldeon today got centre court tickets and bonus of seeing Feder vs Gasquet... come on the French.

David10B - 07 Jul 2007 09:22 - 1667 of 2037

Good morning gentlemen.

On the contrary Adieh I have quite a few email on COPH, which agree with me.

Furthermore a feww are with thanks and stating that they have not bought through my intelligent assessments of the Polish market place and the growth of the competition.

I will be doing the same with BKE as its obvious they are desperate for cash and see their shareholders as a cheap source of finance.


lets see now, so much talk of Barclays broking arm's holding I wonder if they will give BKE an loan.

David10B - 07 Jul 2007 09:50 - 1668 of 2037

From the WNG thread,

David10B - 07 Jul 2007 09:49 - 837 of 837
BMW YOU ARE RIGHT TO BE SITTING ON SOMETHING AS A PROFIT IS NOT A PROFIT UNTIL ITS BANKED---TRY SELLING ON MONEY YOU WILL HAVE A SHOCK.

I BELIEVE THE MARKET IS FINALLY WAKING UP TO THEWEAKNESS OF COH!

THE AIM and Ofex MAG HINTED AT THIS LAST YEAR SO TOO DID THE DAILY TELEGRAPH---WHEN THE HYPE DIES DOWN AND THERE IS NOGHING TO BRING TO THE TABLE---THE TEARS WILL WILL FLOW.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE STILL IN TH DARK OVER SNACK ATTACK A SMALL 400000EURO COMPANY THAT HAS PROBABLY SAVE COH FROM DISASTER------------INTHE SHAREHOLDERS' INTERESTS---WHY NO RNS.

I NOTE THAT WORTHINGTON AND HIS DIRECTOR SOLD OUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF THE SHARES AT THEIR HIGH----IS THERE MORE TO COME?

AS THIS IS NOT STABLE MANGEMANT KNOWING FULL WELL THAT EMPIK WERE SOON TO DUMP. COULD EVEN BE A CASE INSIDERED DEALING

SOME QUICK MATH EXERCISES FOR YOU---

TAKE AWAY THE LAST TWO COH CASH CALLS AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE----

ANSWER.

A COMPANY IN SERIOUS FINACIAL TROUBLE.

THE ABOVE IS WHAT I GENUINELY BELIEVE. CONSEQUENT ALL POTENTIAL PUNTERS SHOULD BE AT LEAST AWARE

HAVE A REALLY NICE DAY.

beemer2 - 07 Jul 2007 09:56 - 1669 of 2037

David10B - 07 Jul 2007 21:13 - 1673 of 2037

Lots of concern now on the main COH ramping thread on iii.

The future does not look bright at all---not even Orange!

AdieH - 08 Jul 2007 10:04 - 1674 of 2037

Didn't put enough cream on my face or neck now look like a strawberry!!! great day and bonus of seeing Feder and Mrs Thatcher in the royal box... Day for the Garden today and watch young Murray win the mixed doubles this PM... Good debate on iii again in regard to COH. Regards.

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 10:14 - 1675 of 2037

Good debate on iii my foot!

Looks more like scared sheep in a pen looking for direction.

You really should have had and RNS by now especially as seeing as your pal Mr Worthington is passing you obviously exclusive information.

Are there not rules agaisnt that sort of thing?

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 10:16 - 1676 of 2037
