1-for-100 share consolidation and capital reorganisation is proposed.


is this 1 for 100 shares consolidation a good thing?

I hold 87.000 what should i do weather the storm ??

that depends on what you paid for them and how long you can leave the money in. are you going to need this money for Christmas? if not stay in to Arpil for finals and should see another increase in sp prior to results

with such a positive result i cant understand why the price hasnt moed upwards,,it actaully fell!!!

Am i being a simpleton in my reasononing here:
when the consolidation takes place the price will be around 1.6-2. in my mind this means that they will appear on the radar screens and may attract demand from the institutions thus leading to price rises.

Any comments??

What does consolidation mean to current holdings. Do 100 shares become 1
Frodo

yes every 100 shares you now have will be changed to 1 new share, with a corresponding change in the share value

Up 20%. Is this due to news on consolidation?

any thoughts on this one?

any thoughts on this share??

got a little mention in Shares - said it looks promising

does anyone think that the proposed consolidation will lead to the shares being noticed on the radar of the institutions and lead to greater demand and hence price rise?

i bought this at 2.8p in february.
should i cut my losses and sell or hold for another 6 months?

I'm also holding at a loss, though I did average down to 2.1p. I sold half on the day before the interims at 2.37p.

The full year results will be very good and these will rise during the run in - though may well fall on the day - as so many stocks do. I also think they will be hotly tipped again this year as they were last year

This is a very strong company so I wouldn't contemplate selling at a loss. I will certainly be holding till at least the next results (when I am certain I will be able to sell at a good profit) and if we get a decent fall I will buy more.

Agreed - I'm in at 2.1 myself and am certainly not going to sell when I'd just have to find somewhere else to put this money. Hopes are that following consolidation there will be more institutional interest and at least the spread won't be such a killer. It would be nice if steadied around the 2 and built a head of steam going in to the finals.

fingers crossed then!
