I am about to sell some US shares which will pay me in dollars-the banks really sting you on handling this. Can anyone advise me the cheapest way of obtaining the money? thanks MP

The cheapest way of obtaining money is to nick it or print it yourself. ;-)

Or be a labour minister/spouse!!

Tis a truism that if you steal a fiver, you are a common thief. If you steal 5million you are a folk hero or a government.
Never been in the position of making money on foreign investments. Can't help you on that one, I'm afraid.

If you remember the old Blue Arrow scandal-they were the original shares! can't remember how long I've had them about 15 years! They were taken over by Manpower and delisted from the LSE, I had to return the dividends for reinvestment because the bank charges were higher than the div and so I've tended to forget about them! maybe I'll leave them to my family!!

All quiet today on here. Not a very good day for my picks -some up a touch most very dull.

Tip For today DCD.
Bought in today after reading the interims of the now newly formed DCD looking good for the future.

Driver-check out INDY-good results and prospects IMO also Starvest have added another 15 million to their stake.

India Star looking good they look very full of activity with their acquisitions of interest its on my watch list

DYOR but I think the SUN is going to shine! Undervalued company moving in the right direction for the past 3 years or more, branched into engineering with Rolls Royce 10 year contract last year. I don't think the share will be as hot as the real sun but who knows, one to tuck away in any event I think. Some details:-

Any one have any views on Shell companies I have been looking at one recently they can give large returns if you pick the right one and they do a RTO till I saw this below, any thoughts.

Small Talk: Cash shell minnows to be squeezed out of AIM

By Michael Jivkov

Published: 06 March 2006

Up to fifty companies listed on London's junior market face having their shares suspended at the end of the month. By the 1 April deadline, all remaining AIM-listed cash shells with less than 3m in the bank must complete an acquisition. Otherwise trading of their shares will be halted and, at a later date, de-listed.

The London Stock Exchange, which runs AIM, decided last March that it wanted to stem the steady stream of tiny shell company floats on the junior market by giving them only a small window in which to make an acquisition. Of the fifty remaining shells - most of which have less than 1m on their balance sheet - a good number are likely to be working on deals ahead of the cut-off point. If they can demonstrate to the Exchange that they are in the middle of a deal they will avoid suspension. But those companies that have left it too late to comply with the rules face an uphill struggle. As the deadline approaches the value of their shares is likely to decline. Further, any target company they are in talks to buy will be aware of the looming deadline and will certainly push for a better deal for its own shareholders. The biggest risk of all for cash shell investors is that their boards rush into an acquisition that they subsequently regret, wiping out shareholder value in the process.

There could be a rush for cash shell shares over the next week Driver, and some fingers will be badly burned! Obviously if there is a fair amount of cash in the bank there is a bigger chance of something useful happening. There are a few companies on the leaderboard from Friday as far as I am aware, MYA, NNN possibly, CRYB WAS a cash shell but I don't think it is anymore - don't know what's happening there, but haven't really checked! My favourite is NCS which is now being controlled by Howard Crosby so something positive is coming about there. I have traded the share and am sitting on a small amount of now free shares (only 20k), I would not like to make a recommendation, but then, all share dealing is risky and this IMO is worthy of a punt but I won't even hazard a wild guess as to what company will be backed into NCS. Anyway, I don't fully understand the workings or necessity of shell companies....so long as I can make enough for my next bottle of Welsh whiskey I'm happy....hic!

My tip is CAR, yes the same company involved with SEO. Apart from Aquasol it has stumbled across a way of printing an ariel on to mobile phones CIT conductive inkjet technology, and also replacing bar coding on "every product imaginable" with RFID. This is medium/long term.
VOG AND EME are both oil and gas expo's and both could rocket at the blink
of an eye.

Kimoldfield,howard crosby has the midas touch it seems,Been a multi bagger for me of late still a fair way to run on NCS,DYOR.

Cheers for your post your NCS has put shells in the spot light 300% up last week it may side step till more news looks like I have missed the boat on that one. With shells you really do have to use money you don't mind loosing. MYA Myratech.net has its Chairman as Michael Jackson thats enough to put any one off. The one I was looking at was avc.

Driver, MYA could be a bit of a Thriller then?!

As I understand it, AVC is not a cash shell company but a split capital investment trust, but don't take my word for it. It is not a company that I would invest in but that is only because I don't need another company to loose my money with their investments when I can do a pretty good job of loosing it with my own investment choices!!

There could still be some upside with NCS, as Daves Dazzlers says, Howard dose seem to have the midas touch.

I still fancy SUN as being a medium sort of mover over the next few weeks, results are due on 10 April and should, repeat should!, provide good reading. But there again....who knows?

Sorry I got it round the wrong way ACV
Stephen Barclay and John Shaw became directors in 2005 and took a 29.9% stake in the company for 75k.

Ah yes!ACV. Not much cash in the box there. Did they ever announce the result of the EGM on 24 January? Could be worth a punt at the sp level though.
