ADVFN PLC (the 'Company')

Exercise of Options

The Company announces that options to subscribe for 150,002 ordinary shares of
one pence each in the Company have been exercised at a price of 1.25p per share.
These shares have been allotted and application for the shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM has been made to the London Stock Exchange. Admission of and
dealings in these shares are expected to commence on 1 December 2006.

bloody hell.. 5.2m!!!...thats why we never get a breakdown of subscribers and what cupid bay is making...bunch of thieves imho..if this management can't make money in a friggin bull market they should pack their bags and replace them with chimps who could do a far better job

That is very unlikely DougalDog. Clem and Co. know it is their company rather than yours.

i notice Chambers never buys shares in advfn with his own money or come to that other directors...tight or what?

At some point they will have to stop diluting their own equity share to avoid losing their majority stake.

Maestro, the real way to catch him, is buy complaining to your local Trading Standards office and the FSA.

Im pretty sure there sites practice of banning users and then offering them an upgrade at a higher price and then allowing them to post again is unethical.

Not only that but the use of individual posters having the right to ban and monitor posts (delete them) on the threads they have created is banning FREE SPEECH, go to your local Trading Standards Office, they will take it up.

Good luck.

Not sure that the Trading, or even Traiding, Standards Office will be the slightest bit interested in "unethical behaviour" of the type you highlight, nor in complaints against the right to free speech, which by the way is not a right at all, particularly on a privately owned medium!

To prove that free speech is not a right even in general terms, do any of the following:

- stand in your town centre and launch into a tirade against any race or religion of your choice
- go up to a policeman and call him a string of rude names
- do the same to your wife or significant other :-)

They are not majority shareholders in that they own more than 50%. Far far from it.

Hodges and Chambers have been, over the last two years quietly flogging off AFN stock through ONL.

75% of AFN stock is now in private/institutional hands.

Ho hum - Let's see what shareholders really think of their spending (and on what - we still don't know - they won't tell us)

AGM is 10th Jan in Farringdon (think it may actually be moved as they need more room).

Watch this space

There is a view that the shareholders action is now talking to a major Irish shareholder and with two institutions could actually remove Clem on the 10th??

You have to wonder what Clem is so worried about??? He has doctored his own website and banned shareholders - one wonders ...... why?

P45 anyone

Hi Glenn :-)

Kayak, sorry but thats where you are wrong on the Trading Standards, office.

They do have a new policy/mandate to get stuck in and help online trading/customers/traders.

Please check it out at your nearest office, its big business for them now.

Sorry about the spelling.

The FSA have already been approached by shareholders.

I am told the majority of the AGM is given over to the FD to go through "the figures".

Hope Clem has kept those cab receipts. He may need them.

5M .... "Admin"

I SUPPOSE jAPANESE geisha girls don't come cheap...

Clem,

Can you explain to me why the following two (the only two) posts on a thread with in excess of 50000 posts has resulted in the username : Chris Mouseday being banned?

I dread to think what would happen if you were to do the same to each and every one of the 700000 individual users that ADVFN now boasts.

Morning all.

Morning Chris abuse@advfn for your reference if anybody starts trashing this thread.

Chris Mouseday - 15 Dec'06 - 08:17 - 51415 of 51419


Quite right too.

Dear Clem,

Could you please ban the poster "Chris Mouseday" because he wished me a good morning.

Kind regards
A user of a free (public) bb

ADVFN PLC

('ADVFN' or 'the Company')

Preliminary Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2006

* ADVFN user numbers up over 30% to over 700,000 (2004: 540,000)






Post an article on this thread:

So Advfn.com have blocked the long established AFN private investors thread on their bulletin board because it's been overly critical of the management....

.....the Greeks had a word for that misuse of power: "Hubris"

Indeed indeed, Richard.

Chambers seems to have completly lost the plot on advfn.

700,000 users my arse .... 600,000 are Maestro and according to Bullie 50,000 are me and Addo leaving about 50,000 aliases to share among the other 12 users :-)

Do they still use the phrase "unique users" or have they now dropped this after previous complaints by moi and others ?

Oh and to add some balance ... moneyam only has about six users I think :-)

Dil,

using the numbers quoted above, Ashley James and Maestro must share around 500,000 userids then!

Maestro starts about 8 new threads every week on Moneyam.
