I got some free shares in this one and also topped up on the profit taking. It's been all downhill so far but I feel this one could take off very quickly or be gobbled up by one of the giants. Anyone else joining in the wait and see brigade??

early days Toya but always hopeful! Are you in AFR? That could be a potential giant--I have only a few.

Hi Moneyplus, no I don't hold AFR currently - came out of it earlier in the year and then rather forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me - it's another shooting star by the looks of things

Well it could happen I remember Imperial Energy (IEC) wass floated at 25p no more than 3 years ago and this one reached the dizzy heights of 18 ! So there is hope !!

I could kick myself. Tues this week I intended to buy at 18p but thought it would go down to 16. Stupid me today it is now up nearly 100% to 36p

Well done to everyone in.
This is just a raid by someone so I hope you've locked in your profit.

I don't think so.
the news out, is that Rupert Murdoch is looking at a 60p per share bid.
There must also be serious competition also from the likes of Google and Microsoft

Just logged on---wowee! Great start to the day can't wait to look at the others now.

Don't think AU. would let their stake go for 60p---the bidder would have to go way above that!

Absolutely.After all,they floated at 45p and they were at 67 on the very first day.
not too many months back,the broker set an 85p target.

Stand by what I say.
If a bid doesn't come in this will go back down again.

I expect their is something to that.However ,with all the deals falling in place,the results should be impressive.

I'm staying in as I think we've turned the corner--the results are key. The market potential is massive--bid could be coming--the city boys suddenly waking up to this one. pays your money takes your choice!! I know from chats I've had that funds were not interested in this one until the deals started coming in plus they admitted they didn't understand it and couldn't be bothered to thoroughly check it out as it was too small---fund managers like to play safe mainly but the signs definitely look promising but then I'm long so I would say that----DYOR!

I've topped up today. What Moneyplus says about the fund managers makes a lot of sense - everyone thought it all sounded too techical and far-fetched at the time of floatation and gradually the city is realising the significance of what Blinkx does

Sorry to be the negative here and I'm certainly not attacking the cy just a comment on the sp.
This is all IMO of course.
The rumour is probably false and has been deliberately instigated so that someone can make loads of money of it. There were rumours of other companies yesterday such as DAN and the sp has not taken off the same. Even if the rumour is correct, for a 60p take-out the sp has only reached 35p and that is when all this news is fresh. Thus unless it materialises or is substantiated/reinvented over the next few days, the sp will retrace.
I have no axe to grind and congratulate everyone who has made money in it. To make a profit in this market is excellent but I've learnt the hard way that the golden rule is once you've made your profit, bank it. Nobody can then take it from you. As moneyplus says though --- DYOR
