I see people are taking profits above 50p. Nothing wrong with that though. SP just dipped below 50p now. If you guys are right about more institutions buying then perhaps more rises to come this week? or perhaps we have to wait till all the people who want take profits at 50p and above have taken them.

Can't blame profit takers, sells no doubt being hoovered up... wonder if an offer will come this year...

Underpins the current price with WC buying more, he has faith in COH and his small holding of 11 million shares...

pben10 - 19 Jan 2007 10:51 - 548 of 2037

What's happening? Is it just profit taking? Any views welcome.

shandrani - 19 Jan 2007 15:56 - 549 of 2037

pben10
sold yesterday for 44.5 will watch the share price and buy back in as I think this is a very promising company, but agree with some who say share price is currently overvalued and perhaps this is just a correction.

AdieH - 19 Jan 2007 17:33 - 550 of 2037

Hopefully this is the bottom and will stabilise for a while...

dclinton - 23 Jan 2007 08:49 - 551 of 2037

Seems to be settling back to the 50-day MA which should provide support until the next bit of news.

myway - 23 Jan 2007 19:30 - 552 of 2037

'plenty more growth to come'. sitting on a coffee goldmine.' I been reading the press re. Coffeeheaven International Plc.. I know the profit takers have been in action this last week. My own feeling is however that the coffee pot is still hot with a lot more of the brew to come.

myway - 29 Jan 2007 14:06 - 553 of 2037

Coffeeheaven International is at the same stage in Eastern Europe as Starbucks was in the UK ten years ago: its sitting on a coffee goldmine.' Thats what Shares said 21st December. With each trading week the company is indeed getting stronger

myway - 05 Feb 2007 11:45 - 554 of 2037

I note that the S.P is back on the up trend once more.. All we require now is a news update from the company.. Anyone in on the loop for COH..

myway - 12 Feb 2007 10:44 - 555 of 2037

At www.shareclubuk.co.uk meeting yesterday we took a view on Coffeeheaven, the result was that I have sold my shares in Coffeeheaven as majority voted that they are now at the top of the profits curve.. value for value over priced.. I made around 100% on the deal and did not want to over trade the position..

At a later date the time should come to trade back in...

silvermede - 02 Apr 2007 14:23 - 556 of 2037

The Company is pleased to announce that it has appointed Numis Securities
Limited as its nominated adviser and joint stockbroker with immediate effect.

SP responding.

AdieH - 02 Apr 2007 18:35 - 557 of 2037

So you would say its a positive move, I'm not too hot on the broker side of things would someone explain why this is deemed positive and why appointment a new advisor? Was the old one not very good? Appreciate thoughts... Cheers.

paulj - 02 Apr 2007 19:20 - 558 of 2037

I'm in the dark, too, AdieH. It has been unusually quiet on the COH front recently. The sp has been drifting since Jan, so perhaps there's something "brewing" now and COH want a new voice to deliver an upbeat message!
Just in passing, this appointment may not be the greatest timing on COH's part, as Numis was roundly criticised for its head-in-the-sand role in the recent SMC fiasco, when two rapid-fire profit warnings were issued in language clearly designed to mitigate sp damage rather than enlighten shocked shareholders. In fact, Numis even issued a set of (fantasy-land) forecasts between warnings.
Let's just hope that lightning doesn't strike twice and that COH's new Nomad has a more constructive role to play this time.

AdieH - 02 Apr 2007 20:40 - 559 of 2037

Thanks for info PaulJ. Just a note if you want more info on Starbucks entering Czech republic take a look at Ample (iii) website, poster Pedro has posted some interesting information, I won't copy here as its he's research... Looks like the former eastern block is a fertile market and the big boys want to come and play... pity were established already and its a difficult market to get established in... i'm Gooner by the way on ample.

paulj - 03 Apr 2007 14:19 - 560 of 2037

Thanks, AdieH. Will "Czech" it out (sorry!). As you say, the invasion by Starbucks etc was always on the cards but I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty of room - and customers - for every decent coffee concern in Eastern Europe for a good while yet. Just hope other COH holders don't get the jitters when the competition hots up, as I see that some long-termers bailed out earlier this year... and that's despite strong management, steady expansion, excellent figures, institutional backing and no real rivals.

AdieH - 03 Apr 2007 16:38 - 561 of 2037

Up 200% myself and I see alot more yet, target of 1.00 and I may think about selling out.. Been to two AGM's and very impressed with board and how they have progressed so far...

paulj - 03 Apr 2007 18:12 - 562 of 2037

Phew, can't match that, AdieH. I'm "only" up 61 per cent as I got in a little late and have also topped up several times as the sp moved up. Still, a nice healthy (paper) profit. Haven't got a target myself - that's one of my weaknesses, never know when enough's enough and it's time to offload (except on bad news or when stop-loss is breached). But 1.00 sounds suitably ambitious! Wonder when we'll get there?

AdieH - 03 Apr 2007 19:01 - 563 of 2037

18 months I would hope paul, as you say paper profit only at present but have top sliced on way also... Have met CEO who in my opinion is excellent, always responds to any emails sent, last one I recieved when I visited COH in Prague, if you want and I haven't already sent to you I can forward if you give me your email address... CFE looks interesting also but i'm waiting until it hopefully falls to 2.5p as there issuing new stock current price 3.2p approx... Good Luck.
