would be interested to hear from anyone who is holding COFFEE REPUBLIC or wishing to add to their portfolio etc. I understand that they have a big demand for the new franchise model that they are about to roll out across the UK etc.M y company hold a position in the shares and will be taking a franchise for a store down here in Devon. Looks like a winner if the franchise model becomes a hit. Shares up 30% plus recently with a bloke called Trevor Brown raising his stake from 4% in May to 10% last week.Also Julian Richer holds 17%. Any thoughts.
Cheers Barty.

hi , the franchising is going very well etc , but the mangement are def planning a cheap MBO etc , money is flowing in and area franchises have been sold, the upside is huge. There is a shareholder group that has 20% shareholder support !!! would luv to get any more support from anyone on this site ? if interested please contact ' coffeerepublicshareholders@hotmail.co.uk' . thanks barty.

Something is happening here.I hear all sorts of things, has anyone heard anything?

heard nothing ! what have you heard ?

Several groups are trying to get info and buying up shares. Rumors of an MBO but more likely an outsider looking for a UK foot print

Did you see TASTY IPO, stock doubled in one day with three restaurants. All you need is someone like the Kay brothers to discuss CFE and it's a 3 pence share price in no time. I hear a guy from Plymouth owns 10% and an investment banker owns almost 3% and a hedge fund owns 6%, all are fairly recent purchases.They must see value in CFE shares.

it would seem that bobby has a small problem on his hands after a real rally yesterday, and the news paper reports. at least 40% share holders think he has not performed. any thing could happen now. any ideas?

No idea at all but not complaning and sp is strengthening all the time..

skyhigh
YES, excellent sp progress, in for medium term though,but just set a stop loss at 1.47p.
looking at the graph, it looks like seasonal thing, where the sp always reach 1.50p
and by the end of august start coming down again. this does not bother me because i will buy low and wait for maturity. nevertheless the business itself is now renewed and the future can be bright. the balance sheet needs to be strenghtened at this stage.

A good day again, sp up yet again, one must think some thing is going to happen in the near future, far to much activity for this time of year, any thoughts ?

today's sp performance is eagle wings phenomenon. what's the cause?
may be the franchise strategy is going high places.

Market sees reason for Bobby to step down as he indeed should. Shares are cheap if and only if there is new management in place with a clear and transparent growth strategy.

It was this article on Sunday that kick started this latest move:

thanks SNIFFER AND WINPIK
sp now at 1.94p, i've just push the stop loss to 1.85p. no doubt they have excellent product but like every top quality car, excellent driver will be perfect.
best luck

forgotten the major shareholders name, but i read the article in Sunday Times ..... looks like another but cheaper version of Mr Timmis and well worth a detour!

Anyone else in CFE ? It's doing well. Long may it continue !

SKYHIGH

I BOUGHT CFE at 1p sell some at 1.5 because of the historical chart, and at 1.6 but still got more left with a stop loss at 2.70p. not bad

Nice one george.

Well detoured cynic.

SNIFFER

YES, IT IS A NICE ONE BUT I WOULD NOT BUY MORE AT THIS STAGE TILL WE GET SOME NEWS. HOWEVER CFE remains a top banana

Good to see others here... I got in at 1.3p so have doubled my investment. Didn't buy very many.. wished I'd bought more, always the way isn't it.?

sp looks to be taking a breather. wonder if it'll go thru the 3p level ?

skyhigh
it is not easy to tell but it is not far from 3p, since that article in the sunday times
pointing out that cfe is undervalued and so on, eagle eyes investors become aggressive buyers. maybe is just a quick breather before another spectacular run.
will see, fingers X
