Post 815 -I tried that once when I was drunk and didn't do any damage, so I tried it again a few years later when I was stone cold sober and fractured my skull!:-)
I notice Dil didn't put a time scale on his latest tea leaves prediction. His tea leaves a few months ago did say 10p by Easter. I wonder if 14p is the revised Easter target:-)
I see that COMS is going to start advertising on TV in April. How about an ad. with Dil and some chimpanzees doing a PG Tips scene predicting the COMS share price from the tea leaves? :-)
I was going to say I would know the difference as I don't think chimpanzees have Welsh accents, but Dil does look like he needs a haircut in that picture. Perhaps he was just referring to his table manners.
The best is from Coms (COMS). As well as announcing several new contracts, the company acquired Actimax last Friday. Actimax provides managed network, data and communications services across several sectors. It had revenues of £10.5m last year but made a pre-tax loss of around £0.76m. Coms believes it can save £3m in annual costs by absorbing the business. The cost is £2.4m in cash with an extra £1m subject to performance. This looks like a good fit and a good price.
In order to pay for it and to provide extra funds for the business, Coms raised £7.9m by issuing new shares. The move generated huge interest and has increased institutional support for the stock. CEO Dave Breith reaffirmed this, saying 2014 has started strongly. Buy (todays close 9.9p)."
