MARKET REPORT: Cupid ( CUP ) tugging at the heart strings / By Geoff Foster / 11 June 2013
Broken-hearted investors in AIM-listed online dating company Cupid have seen the shares collapse this year from the £2 level to an all-time low of 38p amid claims that its business involves inappropriate practices. They had their spirits somewhat lifted on Monday when they rallied 1.75p to 73p on news Martin Hughes’ Toscafund had increased its stake from 8.2million to 8.5million shares, or more than 10 per cent of the equity. Hughes has a huge following in the City and certainly knows an oversold situation when he sees one.

Sentiment in the stock was also helped by the fact it was removed from the SETs trading system in order to stop market manipulation. One big seller was apparently having kittens because he or she was now unable to dump a shed-load of shares in the market.

Cupid in May forecast a sharp fall in half-year profits and said it was in talks about selling parts of its business. An increased spend on marketing in the first six months of the year would hit its bottom line, prompting it to forecast core earnings of £2.5million, compared to the £5.9million posted in the same period last year. Earlier this month Cupid attempted to allay fears about its balance sheet by declaring its cash position at the end of June would be in excess of £10million.

On that note, a sexy jackanory doing the rounds last night suggested co-founder and 15 per cent shareholder Max Polyako, the Ukrainian former chief operating officer of Cupid, is on the verge of bidding £40m for the group’s casual dating business which operates the benaughty.com and flirt.com websites.

Should that materialise, Cupid would then have £50million in cash on its balance sheet and a market capitalisation of £60million! Buyers then would surely become smitten again.

German court says won't be swayed by ECB bond-buying success

KARLSRUHE, Germany | Tue Jun 11, 2013 12:25pm BST
(Reuters) - The head of Germany's Constitutional Court said on Tuesday that the success of the European Central Bank's bond-buying programme in restoring calm to the euro zone would have no impact on its ruling of whether the scheme is constitutional or not.

In a two-day hearing, the court is looking into complaints by over 35,000 Germans that the ECB scheme, dubbed Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT), is really a vehicle to fund euro zone members through the back door, in violation of German law.

Britain's recovery strengthens, house prices rise

LONDON | Tue Jun 11, 2013 3:01pm BST
(Reuters) - British house prices are rising at their fastest pace in three years and the country's lagging industrial sector is now contributing to the economy's recovery, data showed on Tuesday.

After a surprisingly strong services survey last week, the figures suggest incoming Bank of England chief Mark Carney will inherit an economy already on the way to what he has termed "escape velocity".

Britain's economy grew 0.3 percent in the first quarter of this year and looks on track to achieve possibly double that between April and June. Still some way behind the United States, Britain seems to be pulling away from its euro zone neighbours.
