Thanks, driver.
I always take heart when that happens cos it means I'm annoying someone who desperately deserves it!
When you put wit, I think you were half right ;-)

From another board, all looks passable looking at what PCM said last time round or a possible ramp
I have been watching this the lt few weeks and was recently doing research
As we all know the results are due soon and key to driving the share price will be the growth rate in Q3 and Q4 2005 v Q1 and Q2 as this is a growth share.
From various contacts in Shanghai I have gathered the following:
a) The Watsons Personal stores have made dedicated space in 131 stores
of between 25 and 30m2 for dedicated PCM personnel using DVD based infocomercials and that this is proving to be a big uplift in sales to young women re the two key products which are Rapid White and the self adhesive feather bra. Indicative store uplifts are between 600 and 720% but this varies by location. The strongest uplifts have been in Shanghai.
b) Indicative impact growth of the infocommerials are that more impact is made from the 15 minute variants than those of 5 minutes so there is to be more longer ones that allow a full demo of the product. Recently several further products have featured and these are cosmetic based. Of about each commercial the response depends on the time of day and thus targeting is paramount. Peak reponses generate approx 150 calls in the 15 minutes after the infocommercial with 72% converson rate. Indicative revenue growth is 15 to 22% month on month.
This would on the face of it be good reason to invest.
I am confident, but I will choose to ignore this as a ramp.
I never trust anything that includes the words "my contacts in".
I look forward to the results, and hope I am over cautious in ignoring this post, but I think we will see good growth anyway.

I agree the sp is holding up well with out news. The problem is any positive news this is going to rocket so you have to be by your pc or be happy with your holding.
Oh I'm happy with my holding.
I've never had as many shares in one company!!!
Granted they add up to about a tenners worth, but if I bought anymore I'd need a bigger calculator!
Dripped into this over a period of about 5 months with my silly gamble money, so it is a considerable holding for gamble money standards.

PCM is in demand or punters are holding I some times do a dummy run and you can't buy more than 2k on line when it was .7 you could have got 20k's worth.
