IAL has been tipped by two people on different BB's and I was just wondering what peoples views are on here.

I notices that one myself Bosley as it went through as an unknown trade, has someone picked them up or sold them for that price?????

no idea , dandu . has it got anything to do with the share options arrangement announced in november? or does someone know something we dont ...........dah , dah , dahhhhhhhhhh

I would think that this transaction would have something to do with a share options agreement and that the shares were arranged to be purchased at a later date with a pre-arranged fixed price, most probably by a director or manager of some description......

Offer price fell yesterday so tightening up the spread 2-2.25. Looks attractive as a specualtive punt, trading volumes are very low though..........

I think i will buy some on monday as specualtive punt? about 5000.....

buys far outweighed the sells on friday 2nd Jan, maybe someone is expecting good news or soemthing, they did say they were due to be cash flow positive in the first half of 2004, are they about to release a trading statement??? As i have a big punt in this firm i`m watching it like a hawk, the number of buys on friday will certainly help make the stock more attractive and go some way towards raising the price.

MACD chart showing positive outlook! Also, buys are still out weighing sells.

sells ouweights buys big style today with big batches being sold. bradley, what does the above chart mean, are you able to explain it to me, sorry if i sound a bit dull but i`m not familiar with this kind of chart. thanks daniel

Neutral (Long term) - Jan 5, 2004
Has fallen 100% since the peak on 16 Aug 2000 at 525. Shows a weak development within a falling trend channel. A further negative development is indicated, and there is resistance against the ceiling of the trend channel. The stock has broken down through the support at p 3.00. This predicts a further decline. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 100% of the days, mean 5.93 mill per day) may weaken the analysis.

Neutral (Short term) - Jan 5, 2004
Has fallen 35% since the peak on 11 Sep 2003 at 3.25. Is within a falling trend and continued decline within the current trend is indicated. On reactions back, there is resistance against the ceiling of the trend channel. Is moving within a rectangle formation between support at 1.99 and resistance at 2.25. A decisive break through one of these levels indicates the new direction for the stock. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 100% of the days, mean 5.93 mill per day) may weaken the analysis.

Neutral (Medium term) - Jan 5, 2004
Has fallen 98% since the peak on 18 Jul 2002 at 114. Is within a falling trend. Continued negative development within the trend channel is indicated. It also gave a negative signal from a rectangle formation at the break down through the support at 2.50. Further fall to 1.93 or lower is signaled. The stock has resistance at p 3.00. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 5.93 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

You guys may get some news on Friday regarding an acquisition IAL wish to carry out. I don't know how it will be financed but it is rumoured to be at 15 or 20 million pounds.

Best Wishes,

Sue.

DJ Inter-Alliance Grp Homes In On Acquisition - Sources
18 December 2003 12:28:14


LONDON (Dow Jones)--One of the U.K.'s largest independent financial advisors, Inter-Alliance Group PLC (IAL.L), is in talks to acquire one of its U.K. peers for around GBP20 million, people familiar with the situation said Thursday.

Although an announcement isn't expected imminently, key details of the acquisition could be fleshed out as early as Friday, one of these people said.

The purchase would add significant scale to Inter-Alliance's business, itself only worth just over GBP20 million by market capitalization.

The sources declined to disclose the name of Inter-Alliance's target, noting only the large number of IFAs operating in the U.K. and the fragmented nature of an industry ripe for consolidation.

At 1220 GMT, Inter-Alliance shares were flat at 2.25 pence.

Is is past-dated, so I don't know about the accuracy.

GoodNight.

what's happening.....?
expecting some news from IAL, but web site is under-construction. any body with info is welcomed.

thanks

I also bought into this company after reading two positive articles in the shares mag. Aswell as Royal bank of Scotland and Norich Union Henderson global investment own a large % of the shares (have proven track record with investments). I bought in at 2.75p and have since lost nearly 30-40% of my investment. I stronlgy believe and hope that the comapny will tunnel it's way out of this proverbial f**king hole! Good luck everyone...............

I bought in @ 3p 4 months ago on the back of shares mag. it should be a good recovery play. I wish got some more earlier today @2p.
I'm not entirely sure how it all works but... I reckon the price has been driven low to ensure that there is anough institutional interest/support to underwright the funding for the aquisition. Normally when an aquisition is announced a share placing is also announced to fund the move. If this happens the share price stays the same or goes down !. Lets hope it's different (skyhigh ?) this time round. ! and lets hope it's soon..... good luck all :)

thanks sue, one hell of a rollr coaster ride for ial today, i too bought at 3p back in october, i`m hoping it`s only a matter of time before it turns but there was some big sells today which i can`t see as a positive sign if people are wanting to get out??
