Hold both and if you'd looked, you would have seen I've been a buyer in MEQ since Spring this year and all the news is feeding through as per research.

Deal flow
Although investors have kept their hands in their pockets and IPOs have been on hold, Simpson and his junior markets team of seven have been busy on a number of transactions. Specialising in the lower to middle end of the junior markets, high-value deals the firm has worked on include the merger of independent IFAs Sumus and Lighthouse Group and the buy-out and delisting of Telent, a telecoms services business with revenue of over 310 million. Says Simpson, There is definitely more buzz about AIM, as a realistic option, than there was 12 months ago.

Much of the work for Saffery of late has been around reversals and takeovers. The stock market seems to be showing at least some form of recovery, and that will always be positive in terms of businesses looking for admission. A number of companies are ready to IPO effectively, theyre beginning to queue up and wait for the markets to reopen, comments Simpson.

Substantial interest is coming largely from overseas companies, notably those based in China, India and the US, says Simpson. The last of these may come as a surprise, given how US ventures have had a mixed experience on the exchange: US companies are continuing to look to AIM, where the regulatory pressures are less onerous. For these companies, its also about getting into Europe, establishing a presence and gaining market visibility.

Any reason why you are not posting about Rlh this evening after that rise ?

Coz there is no new information I've found. I'm going to watch Eastenders now if you want to know.

Actually 0.25p or higher seems extremely high risk given the recent news.
If they actually raise funds the existing shareholders will see massive dilution
and a price way below the current price, cannot see any reason to buy this.

Further re: Share Price Movement

Further to the announcement made on 12 May 2009, the Company announces that the
negotiations referred to in the announcement are ongoing. There is no guarantee
that these negotiations will result in a transaction involving an equity
investment being concluded. However, in the event that the parties involved in
these discussions make an equity investment into the Company it is likely that
this investment would be made at a significant discount to the current
middle-market share price of 0.26p per share, being the price at close of
business on 29 May 2009. A further announcement will be made in due course.

gravy - squelched.

Do you not like reality, that is what the directors of the company said not me.

A "significant discount" to market price which happens to the current price.

Just incase you need to read it twice to understand, not sure why you think
this stock should be bought at 0.28p when they plan to raise capital at a fraction
of this price, the price would probably collapse on that news should they actually
raise the funds but 6 months down the line and nothing has been said ?

That comment above confirms you are running out of ideas here !

Lets just wait and see if they manage to pull off a heavily discounted
placing from the current price.

No reason to buy unless you like losing money.

As well as the mention about Canisp. In the event of the worse case fundraising at 0.10p as carried out by Canisp and Zest (beginning of November) recently, Canisp went upto 0.65p and now at 0.40p and Zest climbed to 0.30p despite issuing 300m shares at 0.10p raising 300,000. Once concluded, MEQ are in a much better state and have the cleanest balance sheet, with lowest number of shares in issue at the moment of just 115m and also the mkt cap of just 250K compared to others so imo will be better placed to further go on and conclude any acquisition and more significant rises than others in similar positions on AIM. I'd still expect an immediate rise to atleast 0.50p on concluding the seven month discussions on equity investment!

Very misleading post treacle !

You of course have used the very rare examples of a couple of stocks who indeed
did raise funds with heavily discounted placings that later on did go onto rise.

However you fail to mention the many many more stocks that did the same that are
now bust or delisted or simply going nowhere.

I see the price fell sharply today, i've just read the RLH thread on here, you claimed the price would be re-rated so why did you sell them so low ?

Are people that gullible anymore, i think we all know your agenda by now !

bravo RDG..;))

Opens down 41% on a desperate placing for survival.

I'm just so pleased nobody got wrapped into another treacle attempted
pump and dump.
