anyone have an idea why this has been flying over the last week? had Hutchings finally bought something?

interesting levels now...

Having been a big holder I bought at 4.5p and 5p.
Took my profits on the way up.
Now support is crumbling next stop 8p.

so you think hutchings will fail???

he is the only reason i hold and he is the reason why there is a "tycoon premium" in the price. without him, i agree, LUPUS is sub 8p.

Hutchings been out of the thick of things for a long time.
In my opinion time can be the great changer. He made a lot of money.
If is difficult to come back when much older, the desire isn't there.

he has a huge point to prove and if he hadn't bought into lupus i would agree but the hunger for these old boys is there and in my mind he will make a purchase which will make front pages everywhere. couple of years down the line he takes a chairmans role and sits back.
i totally agree that the environment has changes and if u look at my views before i have stated that the days of stealing an industial firm firesale style is long gone with all the PE money sloshing around.
i am sitting on a small holding so lets just see....

More than a year since Mr Hutchings took the helm.
When will they reach Treasure Island ??
I am sure that ANY announcement will move the price sharply
C'mon, let us know what's happening, at least an update on the prospects.

i agree, it is getting dull....

Has anyone been in touch with Lupus to gain a progress update?

Any Idea when the final results are out ??

Last year was 30th March

I have sent an email to the company and will post when they reply.

Well Lupus bounced off it's recent lows in a quite spectacular fashion.

Does this mean an announcement is imminent??

Well it's about time Mr Hutchings.

our patience is certainly wearing thin!

Down again.

If it wasn't for the fact that the accounts appear to be late then I would consider this a buying opportunity.

Just what is going on with LUP?

no idea. sticking with it, for now.

when were the accounts due?

28/4/05 according to some sources.

I thought it was the beginning of April.

i have just spoken to the company and they have confirmed the 28 April.

Hopefully the accounts are late so as to include the new that we have all been waiting for ??
I live in hope.
