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??

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!

BUY BUY BUY is the message

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

dealerdear you have made a very valid point it may just be a coincidence timing wise but BLNX's AIM admission document states that both Autonomy(10%) and Mike Lynch (8.7%) are free to sell their shares after 360 days from 22nd May 2007.

Halifax. presumably you are making the point that a potential bidder is buying those shares up?

Possibly as they are likely to have to sell them to an institution otherwise in view of the size. That is of course if they want to sell at all. Dont forget the old maxim buy on the rumour etc!!

60p will be achieved and very surprised if not exceeded

RNS BLNX directors have no knowledge of any takeover bid.

oh dear...this has roll back down...false rumours have occurred. I just sold nursing a loss

Blinkx moves to quash bid rumours - AFX

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Blinkx Plc. issued a statement saying that it 'is not aware of any external bids or bid-related reason' for the recent rise in its share price.

At 1:32 p.m., shares in the software developer were up 2-3/4 at 27-3/4, down from an intraday high of 38-1/4.

The company's shares were boosted Friday by rumours swirling around of a 60 pence per share takeover for the company, possibly by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

I'm still holding for the results--any time soon. Microsoft, Google and News Corp are all well aware of the merits of this co. and have sniffed around before---only a
matter of patience IMO.

I'm holding on also(unusually for me!). I believe the fundamental technology is what it's all about, and I thought this little snippet that I came across today was interesting - and would show why Google might be interested:

"More people visited Blinkx-linked videos by weekly market share than Google's UK service, data compiled by third party reporting agencies like comScore, Hitwise and Quantcast showed in November."

Furthermore, the sp has recovered reasonably well, considering the earlier panic sell-off.

I added a few on the dip--no smoke without fire! mind you some people made loads today on trading. I just think the people buying 500000 lots today are not buying for a quick buck. If this copies Google sp I'd be well pleased!

I am holding - this with patience will keep rising even without an imminent bid - but i am equally sure a bid will be forthcoming eventually and a bid war to follow - blinx small bucks spend wise to the giants of google etc & Toya picked up interesting item also
