Cineworld to project itself on to market with 245m flotation

Morning all. Just bought some AFC on speculation that trading is going to be strong.

AFC SP currently: Bid: 26p Offer: 27p Change: No change reported, but I have seen the price drop from 28/30 down to 25/27. About 200k traded so far.

Good luck to you soult, but buying on the strength of a newspaper article only is a big risk. But that's what 'a punt' is all about eh?!!!

:o) I just had to have a go, Harry :o)

Pret a Manger is considering a stock market flotation within the next 18 months that could value the sandwich chain at between 150m and 280m.

Pret a Manger considers stock market flotation

Bglobal looks an interesting punt.

Correct, GF. but according to my quick scan in Shares Mag, it's very similar to Qonnectis, (QTI) from which great things have been expected, yet the SP has gone nowhere.

The paper cited Ibukun Adebayo, business development manager (India and international) at the London Stock Exchange as saying: 'This year there is a slowdown in the domestic real-estate market and this mood is reflected at the AIM market as well.'
