Should I sell my ADVFN shares? (AFN)     

Stuckinrut - 18 Feb 2003 10:04

Been a holder for too long but now getting very nervous, bought at 6p. The share price has held up in the last few months but looks like the market makers were dumping stock yesterday. I presume there are some concerns now that they have a competitor but also at a stroke they have wiped out some of their income and path to profits by reducing prices last week.

I sold 100,000 yesterday and am in 2 minds what to do next, anyone holding or selling? Anyone know how much cash they have left as its not too clear from the Annual Report?

Thanks Stuckinrut

" ADVFN is currently unavailable due to a power failure at our hosting facility.
July 4th 2008 20:00: Our hosting providers are not providing an ETA for power restoration, but our best estimate at this point is at least 6 hours. When power is restored our engineers will then commence brining services on-line. "

Not sure the salt will do the circuits any good :-)

Exotoxin:- Thanks - May I ask where you got the data as I am still getting nothing on the main site. Some years ago they had a check site but I have lost the reference.

Thanks in advance.

I wondered if they had gone bust! LOL! Particularly because private investors are fleeing the market in droves now.

Pug - it's on http://www.advfn.com/ for me

The 'status' backup site used to be http://www.success-events.co.uk/Status.htm

Power failure at host, down until the morning. I doubt Clem will lose any sleep though..LOL!

Mr Magoo - 05 Jul 2008 00:07 - 46 of 91

is it really worth it, could only get 2.8p at most

Andy - 05 Jul 2008 02:07 - 47 of 91

It may be longer than the morning.

We have just received a call at my company asking for any possible technical help, and we are not the provider, and have no connection at all!

They are looking for electricians for Colt Telecom to help out as total power failure in their building, I presume that is where ADVFN is hosted.

@DVFN is currently unavailable due to a general power failure at our hosting facility.

July 5th 2008 00:30: Our hosting providers are not providing an ETA for power restoration. They have found the fault and are now testing both sets of of power supply systems. When both sets have been tested they will gradually start supplying power to the data center.

When power is restored our engineers will bringing services on-line.

We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

We will update this page with more information as it becomes available to us.

Latest site update.


July 5th 2008 06:45: Our hosting providers are not providing an ETA for power restoration. Some power has apparently been restored to the data center, but not to any of the cabinets in our area. We are on site and seeking further information.

I don't know whether to sell the shares but as I haven't been able to connect to the site for the last 20 hours, I'm wondering whether they've gone out of business.

Sorry - I should have read the posts before I posted that.
