gf.

Cheer up guys!!!!

Someone just bought a million,one day we will have last laugh on these.
Good luck

Still manage a sideways glance at these...up 12% today on low volume today.

Mr Mole,
Whoever bought these at .75 has made a handsome profif if they have sold already,i still think they could turn this around,what do you think?
Cheers,
Everytime i look at these ASHTEAD comes to mind and look how there share price came back from the brink.

I'm a wee bit worried abouth their debt/cash flow. I've only a relatively small holding of these, but I'd lose a bundle if I sold now (worth just about 25% percent of my original investment). Decision is...shall I hold out for a return to the giddy heights of 2p+++ or sell now and invest what's left in something that has a better chance of doubling/trebling in the next year or so. Can't make my mind up. Wonder if there are any investors out there who bought at 10p and still holding?

Thats the name of the game,i would hold!!,i am down 50%,can you imagine if we had paid 10pence,or go back further and look at 60pence!

60p!!!!!! I'd be sobbing :(

I bought in @11.3p and still holding averaged down to 9.3p. total holding 10k. :((

AHZAR,ffor what its worth,hold on as i was in the same situation with ashtead shares at one time down 500%,i ended up making 17k.so HOLD on

Still a pulse at IDD,near a mill traded today so far and up a little,

Keep the faith!!!

capetown, not much choice in selling cos i won't be getting much back. might aswell gamble. win all or lose all.

AZAR,stay with it then u can buy be some bubbly when it comes back!

hubba bubba, which flavour?

20 pence a share flavour will do!

AZHAR,and all holders of IDD,there is a BUY rating on IDD if you go into the TDWATERHOUSE website and look up idd,its a recent rating which could be why we saw a good trading day for the shares last week,any thoughts

Must have missed it. I'm a TDW customer. I'll have to check it out. Nice that someone likes it.

Mr Mole do,and let me know what your thought on this one are,
Thanks.

intresting that someone reckons they are worth buying on tdw.
could it be possible that lowered production costs in polish factory and an increase in turnover might enable company to stop the bleeding and dare i say it turn a small profit in the forseeable.
blood is on the streets justnow for these no doubt.
not for widows,orphans and sensible investors.
taking a small position tmorrow...

DRYDEN WEALTH MGT seem to think they are worth a punt,

So all holders HOLD ON!!!!!!

Checked out TDW...you're right capetown. It was DRYDEN who were mentioned in the TDW pages as a BUY.

Only other things to add is that it's a busy few weeks for IDD:

08th Aug 2005...Pre-lim announcement

24th Aug 2005...Next AGM report due

14th Sep 2005...Next AGM
