no-hobby mags, then? (HHO)     

hangon - 19 Jan 2005 17:25

Whenever I go into Smiths there is sea of Anoraks that one has to elbow aside, to read Old Steam Monthly ( I get it for the nostalgia) - and HHO has plenty of such Titles including some for the missus.
They also run the Model Engineer Exhibition at Sandown Park (the 2.30 was won by 4-6-2 also known as Lucky Jim)
Howcome there is zero interest (ie Postings) here? Don't you chaps read on the train, or are you armed only with a crumpled FT to fend of Muggers and Poor People?.....

Mindyou as a corporate business HHO are pretty laid-back with their sales efforts....something that might just improve their performance now that Smiths has culled the marginal Mags....... this doesn't include "Shares" which is still available at my local high-street shop.
Chuff, chuff.

Woodie - I think he will really develop the lad mag Front and develop some of the prosperous titles - anything to do with boats etc and dump non lucrative titles like Old Steam Engines!

If I was him and I had the opportunity I would take the whole sad affair over completely and make a killing. Get a brilliant team together, marketing team, attractive leggy blonds with brains on board to develop the 'sexy and powerful' mags and hand it over to my friend. He would turn it around in a couple of years and make a few million.

Alternatively, he could try and get a place on the board but let's face it - a man like Kelvin McKenzie - would he really settle for that? If I was him I would want to get rid of the existing board and be the Chairman and create my own Board. I can't see him playing 2nd fiddle - he's not the sort.

I wouldn't like to say but I bought in yesterday and I would like to see myself doubling my money at least but wouldn't we all.

17% up from this morning - just made 1K so hope this is just the beginning.

I bought this morning on the basis of this chart. The p+f target is so high that it is off my screen

didn't they recently reject a 10pps offer?- the company is now better positioned with game win.
