AdieH - on squelch - sorry OM but you just can't resist unsquelching can you?
Best of luck
UC.

Adieh I love pure raw aggression and find its best channelled into stock research. but I doubt if you have the inner character to fulfil your threats or were they dreams.

Oh yes I spell Ok when I write my big problem is typing as I find it rather boring, and yes sometime confusing when all the word run into one.

I never said that I pick stocks for fun, stock picking is serious stuff, and done with hard earned cash as you say.

Now perhaps you can understand why I warn people against COH as it has no value, no substance, no profits after seven years its still loss making, its all just hype, all jazzed up on great improved like for like sales which are obviously costing an arm and leg to make.

Hey man you right about one thing, my investment strategy may well be flawed, but hand on heart I am up again so far this year.

And my aggressive peanut I would not call a 100000 trade a large trade as there were plenty of sells of COH to that value last week.

Its nice to see you have a laugh, especially as the value of your investments is falling, you must be some kinda guy with a great sense of humour, its a pity its all masked with your petty childish agreesion.

As to your threats, apart from being illegal, which I will over looking not wishing to be seen taking an advantage over the poor less abled mentally inflicted----I bet you would not even want to try should we ever meet.

Why? You will probably think better of it as most bullies do when confronted. So I will forgive you.

Now you really should be a good lad and listen to Trigger 45. I promised not to post here if you dont but I can see you are obviously mesmarised by me, dazzled to distraction---a big fan.

Have a really nice night, and I trust trigger will care for you whilst I am away.

NITE NITE LUNATIC

Sorry UC he is on squelch most of the time, just like to keep up to date and put him straight when he goes on one of his rants...

We do not tolerate abuse on our Bulletin Boards. This thread should be about Coffee Heaven not about individuals and threats. In all debates there are two sides to every argument, the same goes for stocks, some posters have positive views and some have negative. MoneyAM is pretty liberal in allowing freedom of speech but we do draw the line at personal attacks and threats. We have taken the liberty of editing a post on this thread which despite lots of (dots) was unacceptable.

We do try and take an even hand in all debates and will continue to let comments run where they do not breach our rules.

Bullshare it is about time something was done, I would hope that you continue to monitor this thread very carefully and not just edited posts like mine, please look at the content of David10b posts and the history on this thread. There were positive and negative posts on this thread before David10b came along but he deems any posts that have a positive spin on as ramping. I have never ramped this share only imparted my view and knowledge of the company but David10b continues to make allegations against the CEO of COH, the content of which have been forwarded to Richard Worthington (I believe he has contacted MoneyAM about the content) but you seems unwilling to action against this poster... I look forward to your intervention in future. Regards.

Bullshare

I have not got a clue who you are but if you bring this thread back to normality by helping to remove David many posters would be eternally grateful

AdieH

We are not getting much support here are we

I recently emailed Ian about our ubiquitous chum. I know it's a bit like running to teacher but something must surely be done. Why should everyone on a thread be compelled to squelch someone who so obviously has an axe to grind and would therefore be better off posting elsewhere? Anyway, I see nothing has happened yet. Rather than the mysterious Bullshare popping up and arbitrarily censoring posts, he'd be better advised getting to the root of the problem, taking action to rescue this thread and so arrest an exodus from the site.

paulj post - Recommended!
UC.

second that...

me too ..

I thought long about commenting.

I am a longer term shareholder from the old days.

I follow the debate on iii mainly, although I never comment as most of what one finds on this BBs is a just a personal spin on what we know already and the usual jostling for position.

I must say that sometimes I have found 10B's posts rather confusing, however he does raise some interesting points which have been confirmed via his share price predictions.

I also must say I think our company has entered into a period of stagnation and therefore concern for the sharholders.

I agree that all shareholders should express their concerns over the board members, as that will certainly keep every one on their toes.

Each and every company officer has the right to defend their positions through a formal reply within the rules.

What I find most upsetting was the post that Moneyam removed, as when we have this sort of irresponsible violent verbal abuse, we relegate, not only ourselves but our race, and goodness knows there is enough violence in this world without bringing it into our homes via the PC.

Therefore well done Bullshare in keeping these BBs "clean"

Finally we are very short of news and the moment as I said, have we as a company began to lose direction? We lost EMPIK, what now is the true situation with Snack Attack etc , and I also believe that we have turned in losses for long enough.

Just my honest thoughts as I dont have the gumption to ask the company direct and therefore do it here.

There now are more than one here, and on iii, claiming our compny's SP is heading south, and a number of my fellow long term holders appear to be selling their holdings, therefore some recipricol support for the company would be very welcomed.

Please no abusive replies, if any, as its obvious the debate here likes to be only very postively inclined and that does tend to frighten off an open expression of one's concerns.

Good post umax. Sadly it has got very personal on here and I hold my hands up to being part of that by answering David in a very childish manner.

I'm far from proud of that and you will have hopefully read my last few posts where I have asked if everyone could try and forget the past and discuss this company in a more adult way.

I'm not holding my breath but lets leave it at that.

David although frustrating at times has raised some very valid points. The main one being they are yet to really show a profit.

FWIW, I think that quite a few investors have been frustrated at the store roll out and the threat of the impending competition.

There seems to be support to the arguement that it takes time to locate good sites and the fact that it is not as straight forward to do business in these countries as in the UK.

I accept part of that reasoning but feel the company has been there long enough now to have been able to learn how to address some of those issues and be rolling stores out faster than they are at present. They have the capital to be able to do this.

I'm not too worried about EMPIK pulling out as if my memory serves me right were they not looking to take control or at least have a very big influence on the companies future.

As you state the situation with Snack Attack is still very unclear at the moment so it's hard to comment.

On a more positive note according to Digital Look there are three brokers stating strong buy with none being negative.

On a personal note this will be a very important year for COH as far as my investment is concerned as they really do need to start showing a profit after all this time. I'm lucky in that I am well up so far but each drop in the price is making me reconsider.

It's my view that RW has been over cautious in growing the company and that is why investors are starting to question things.

Of course I could be talking rubbish, and it would be nice for those more experienced with the numbers etc than I am for there views.

Umax I understand your point of view, I got the reaction that I was hoping for and BullShare took the necessary action and hopefully he will in future, the thread is being watched carefully and no one has been banned (confirmed by IanT)... The board seems to have calmed down for now and I hope it remains that way...

As for Snack Attack, RW stated in an email to myself that the board were aware of the article but have denied any tie up there... I believe Snack Attack are looking for press coverage and the idea of retail space being utilised by Snack Attack and COH most certainly doesn't fit with what I have seen in Czech Rep...

Regarding SP I see as some comfort that we seem to a period of consolidation and if and when we get news of roll outs then that will be the time for SP to move north... I cannot believe that RW and the board are sitting on their back sides doing nothing , there must be things happening in the back ground and once we see evidence of this then hopefully we will be back heading north towards the brokers targets... Regards.

Adieh, I regret that I am unable to reply. I am a staunch pacifist, I reiterate an extraction from my above posting in an attempt at the continued preservation of the civilities which I believe that decent people should allways observe.

The post will be my last as I return to the anonymity of being a reader only.

What I find most upsetting was the post that Moneyam removed, as when we have this sort of irresponsible violent verbal abuse, we relegate, not only ourselves but our race, and goodness knows there is enough violence in this world without bringing it into our homes via the PC.

Therefore well done Bullshare in keeping these BBs "clean"

Well since I was in the Royal Air Force that probably means we have very different views on the world. Regards.

Ex RAF myself...long time ago though.

Me too makes me feel very old, where were you based I was Odiham close to where i live now...
