Monstermob - the name is enough to put a serious investor off. But you should take this business seriously and the accounts look pretty strong!
Shame really, about the name, given recent superb results. Shares are now at 80p, but given they floated a few months ago at more than double that, had a profit warning and have since consolidated over the last six weeks (initial profiteers out) they are worth a very serious look following the numbers.

There is a market cap of about 20 million and eps came in at the half-way stage of 3.3p. A profit post tax of 827,000 is very encouraging indeed.
Turnover is up 32% and there is 6 million in the bank.

Monstermob markets differentiated and easily accessed mobile phone entertainment
and personalisation services. These include ringtones, java games, colour
wallpapers and videos as well as community chat, competition and gaming
products.

Not exactly thrilling but consider the vast growth lined up:
Monstermob is in the process of rolling
out a subscription based ringtone application on China Mobile, which is the
largest mobile network operator in the world with over 160 million subscribers.

Two small profitable acquisitions in the period should enable yet further expansion, and a bigger one announced today which gives them exposure to another 85 million customers in the US.

The market is beginning to react very positively and I think we could see these shares gain 50% of the lost ground since flotation very rapidly. Could be best for a short term trade of maybe 2-6 months, given longer term competition questions, but for the moment and up to next results, things look very rosy.

Dixon's took options at 165p, while Shares mag should comment on the results tomorrow - they are a fan of the company.

Too much to hope it might be a play of the week?

Chart shows fall after warning consolidation and now a possible (substantial) brakout after results.

Over 3.00 this morning, article in Sunday Times very bullish about the sector. Mob operating at the best margins of all the companies and Higginson quoted as saying that his aim is to build the largest and most profitible mobile content distribution business in the World. I'll drink to that.

Added a few more first thing :-)


capa

What are peoples long term views on this share - in at 363p? I really should have thought a bit harder about my nickname!

Tipped in the Daily Mail today (Saturday)as a BUY, suggested that Monster Mob will become a world leader !!

These seemed to have dropped to a reasonable level.

Back In for a profitable trade hopefully.

Big rise today so out this side of the tax year end +14.

Seems like a man of vast experience has been appointed here.... market seems to like It, up over 6% so far at 238p.

Interesting read on www.citywire.co.uk If anyone's Interested.

Up another 6% so far today.

Start of a bull run in the making here, what's your target Stan?

No target as yet Chiva, letting It ride for the moment.

Have you got one?

Same as you to ne honest. 282 is a resistance as is 310/315 I'll be watching closely then. Feel relatively confident we could march through both of those.

Yep, me to.

I think I'm right In saying that the Barclays last topped up at around 280p

so anything above that looks achievable.

Marched through 282 Stan, this is looking very strong

It Is, tempted to sell as it came down after a good rise yesterday, then get In again on the dip...but holding firm for now Chiva.

This is showing great strength Stan and no sign of slowing up. Will be interesting to see where it ends up this week, looks set to steam through 320. Marvellous.

Technically on hols. but could not resist looking In, steady as she go's.

Up to 405p so far today.

Looks like that China announcement Isn't to far away now.

vertical p+f targets for monstermob are 468 and then 618 so a very definite hold for me and a recommended buy for anyone who doesn`t own them dyor etc

Results due 5th Sept
