Media Corp (Gaming Corpoartion GMC)Attracting Some Big Names. (MDC)     

goldfinger - 05 Dec 2003 00:33

Up nearlly 15% today and I beleive there could be more to come.

Evil Knievil has tipped it on EvilCast and has bought in 100,000 worth of stock a notifiable interest. He rates the management very highly and says they are attracting all the big bookmakers to the online casino site including punters the likes of William Hill, Chandler, and Ladbrokes. The company are now running at a profit every month and should break into a yearly profit from the years previous loss very soon. The company also ownes in partnership with a Swiss firm Boss another casino site and by all accounts that is doing well.

Im looking at this one as a momentum play pretty high risk as there are competitors out there but I feel the management will give it the edge.

Please DYOR, and remember you are responsible for your own buying and selling actions.

cheers GF.

Not updated.

Major shareholders/directors now hold 78.4% of the company (145 million shares)

And agin from the other place. Next week will be very interesting, exciting and nail biting. Can't wait.

Since most of the shares were snapped up at around 2p, but the company's prospects have since increased, there is clearly a shortage of stocks. Not including Cantor's, Evil's and other recent buys, last count was 40 million in free float. Not a lot at all considering how much was traded today. Easy to see why the price is rising on big buy volumes. Basic supply/demand. Profit takers aside, I have not seen a significant dump in the last 2 weeks.

LOL

mickeyskint: you are a mega-hero. Your research is fantastic and, even better, you have posted it here. There will be demand for 40M shares on Monday! There are 40M shares in free circulation - and mine aren't available! So what on earth do the MMs do? What would I do? Mark the prioce up so much that it slows down the demand? Problem is, and I suspect there is a name for this theory (if not, I will patent it!) the more you put the price up, the more people will want to be in. Why should it stop when you see the mega-values on poker stocks? And GMC have the leading internet casino site plus a new poker site plus poker games. The world of investing has to be on board! Why are you so cautious bigbobjoylove? lol! Hope holders read this thread and DO NOT SELL!
ROFL! All the way to the bank!

Eric , have a read of "the online gamble" Shares rag.

vwrich - 26 Feb 2005 19:55 - 182 of 1117

im in for the long , still plenty more to come , a big demand again on monday, should see the other side of 20p.

EWRobson - 26 Feb 2005 21:54 - 183 of 1117

Maddoctor: "TA says short, soon" - don't get the reference. Brave to go against the trend on SBT (Sporting bet). So on-line gambling marhet will only increase from $8bill. to $10b out of market of $200b. Talking about an increasing share of an increasing market. SBT may, as they suggest, be having back-office problems in the US. Nothing to trouble GMC there: still a minnow but going places if the Directors can have the courage to see off any bid from SBT. Suggest we all stay on board and don't let go until 60p is reached.

THIS WILL BE ROCKETING COME THE MORN,I've an order for 50000 @ 19.5 for the shareclub.
Question : can i trade with comdirect pre 8 am ?? Keep seeing these trades at pre market yet comdirect won't deal online before 8.Where or who deals pre 8???

short termism - 27 Feb 2005 10:31 - 191 of 1117

Do you really believe this will op[en up flat Bob? You are suggesting you will get in at Fridays close?

bigbobjoylove - 27 Feb 2005 10:58 - 192 of 1117

no way!! Its a cheeky order and the only order i can do online over the weekend.Our club meets this afto,i'm printing off all the media stuff and am going to suggest we put an order up to 22.Without wanting to be stupid this could be 40p the next few days but i have to argue with the fuddy duddys who won't want an order in at well above offer even.
Personally i think they'll open up about 4 but too many mavis and ritas in the club who won't see the light of the small caps.

mickeyskint - 27 Feb 2005 12:04 - 193 of 1117

From the other place. Also interims are being reported on the 14th April.

worth reading the final results to end sept, in tandem with latest trade update.

for the year to sept...turnover was 7.5M in the 2nd half...5.5m in the 1st half (NB: since the 2nd half customer base has doubled - thus i think turnover is now running at c15M for the half).

Gross profit for the year to end sept was 868,000 - with most of this coming in the 2nd half.....NB: again with customer numbers having since doubled, i think gross profit for the current year could be in the region of 1.5M - 2M....thus delivering a small net profit.

if growth can be sustained, GMC has futher to go & Simon C's 50p target is not beyond the realms

LOL for Monday

This guy seems to command a lot of respect from the other place. Don't know him so can't say if his views are good or not.

JONNO1,

I was a little surprised at your assertion that casino.co.uk does not attract substantial punters. So I asked. And you are wrong.

Casino.co.uk has lots of players holding sums of the order of 500 on Blackjack hands and many who have had big five figure swings in fortune on the site. Indeed, I understand that GMC has better than industry average returns from visitors to its sites.

Of course, the significance of all this is identifying the gathering of momentum. I do not think GMC has anything to worry about.

Simon Cawkwell

Full page article in the Sunday times on the phenominal rise of Internet Gambling. GMC gets a mention as one of those compan

Bazaies that have benefited massively over last couple of weeks with more to come.

jimmy b - 27 Feb 2005 22:04 - 196 of 1117

Who thinks these are heading north again tomorrow,,can they climb to 25p ??

EWRobson - 27 Feb 2005 22:17 - 197 of 1117

Yes, Jimmy, into the blue yonder! Eric
