Oh dear, Oh dear (BRTR)     

hangon - 29 Jun 2005 17:27

Leopards and spots I fear - although this company has NO followers yet, (here) I would like to remind readers that this company has come a long way from earlier times and different businesses:
It started as A H Ball - pipelaying in the West country
then they thought fencing (Langley and Johnson) was a better business.
Then the Internet started to errupt - so they became Medi@invest - the use of a number/odd-character is a No 1 alarm signal it seems as these shares climbed and fell dramatically.
Then as the @ became a real problem they thought about repairing TV's and shifted reconditioned units - Universal Direct -
Obviously this was a further waste of investor's money and a new scheme was found ( er, they were running the business during this time in exemplary fashion).
The new business was/is Bartercard [BRTR] the exact purpose of which escapes me at the moment, but let's hope they are shifting all the stock they have built-up running these businesses. Who knows? maybe we'll get a chance of seeing the Directors at an AGM - should be good to see if they are wearing the same AHB suits, let's fsace it they can have worn them out actually "working", so some cost-saving should be identifyable.
Grr.
