Catalyst Media 24% up (CMX)     

Keysersoze - 08 Nov 2005 15:30

Chart.aspx?Provider=EODIntra&Code=CMX&Si


I have noticed over the last few days some strange trading going on with Catalyst shares does any body have any views on this?? Is something about to happen at last. No news to speak of as such .I have been in these from the first day after the shares where back to buy after the suspension with an average price @ 4.12. Maybe some one will make a response after having no luck with previous posts.

This should be renamed the Keysersoze & Squid Chatroom !!!!!!!! old chum.....

I thought you may have said that but long at my investments I have a sreiously unbalanced porfolio at the moment but I am short term leave it like this up until xmas to see where it goes then in the new year add another 10k but maybe not as I suggested in my last post. What are your thoughts as to how i a should re organize this mess.

Keysersoze: Sorry, I never advise anyone to buy stock, but I do post details about my own buys on the relevant thread, mainly to invite critical comment, and if anybody follows my lead, well that's their decision. I'm glad I bought CMX ahead of YOO and expect to continue doing so, but might pile into YOO when the dust has settled.
I'm essentially a bottom fisher; look at the chart for ELA to see the sort of collapse that can overwhelm a sound company, and the rewards for anyone brave or foolhardy enough to jump in afterwards. I think there could be a lot more mileage in ELA, and have posted on that thread, but be aware that I'm in deep at below 1/2 the present sp, so am unlikely to lose.
Meanwhile I think CMX continues to show promise so keep up the newsflow.

Squidd ,Been away looks like another big investor into CMX do you think the two 500k buys friday would be connected to this or will they all ready have their 40 odd million shares before hand.

Keysersoze: You are repeating yourself, but no matter and it matters not too much who the buyers are. I'm glad to see that CMX is keeping up its volumes - very necessary for a media company in my view.

Squidd, Do you have any idea`s regarding the dividend we may see from SIS due in 2006 if any at all.

Keysersoze.

squidd - 27 Nov 2005 19:09 - 26 of 49

KZ: I find a 4 year divident payment interval bizarre - my bank works out mine every day, which is easy in this computerised age, but it seems that the 2006 instalment will be paid by SIS to CMX. It might brighten up the sp, but having already been factored in, I think the bigger picture provides the main attraction.

Going back to high risk, in case you have any spare gambling cash, have a look at PMK

Squidd: Funds are very tight at the moment stuck in VOG at 1.35 13.5k ouch !!!!!!lets hope this week that news about the oil is released and positive these look excellent long term still plenty of upside.Watch KCOM very carefully Tomorrow word around the camp fire is ^^ All funds remaining are in this then I will take a look into PMK.

Regards

Keysersoze - 27 Nov 2005 20:54 - 28 of 49

Squidd :PMK looks a very good investment but where is a good entry point?How long can the chart keep up this rate of steam what price did you get in at?I always feel that charts like PMK seem like im too late for the party (If you didnt go to the wedding then dont go to the funeral) keeps haunting me i will see how this week unfolds and keep an eye on PMK.

Regards

Keysersoze.

squidd - 28 Nov 2005 17:48 - 29 of 49

KZ: The dividend seems to have arrived, but surprisingly is described as an interim with another due next year. Looking good and buyers coming in.

On the PMK front, it's in unknown territory and should I think have eased back on profit taking. Just have to keep watching.

squidd - 29 Nov 2005 18:59 - 30 of 49

In addition to the interim dividend, which I regard as a bonus, the directors are making encouraging noises about restructuring and profitability, so I am optimistic that the sp for CMX will soon return to the pre-suspension price of around 7 - 8p.

28 November 2005

Catalyst Media Group Plc

Catalyst Media Group plc ('CMG') is pleased to announce that the Board of
Satellite Information Systems (Holdings) Ltd ('SIS') has resolved to pay an
interim dividend of 10 million with immediate effect. CMG's share of this
dividend is 2.2 million which will be applied to the early reduction of debt
which was raised to part finance the acquisition of a 20% interest in SIS (the
'Acquisition') in September 2005 for 23 million in cash. This interest was
increased to 22.2% following the buy back of shares by SIS in November 2005.

The Acquisiton was partly financed by the issuance of secured deep discounted
Bonds to Eureka Interactive Fund Ltd for a subscription of 11.75 million.
Whilst the Bonds have a nominal value on maturity of 16.7 million they may be
redeemed at any time at a deep discount which equates to an interest rate of 10%
per annum. Consequently, following application of the funds from this dividend,
the outstanding balance will be reduced from 12.09 million, including accrued
interest, to 9.9 million.

SIS has, in the recent past, had a policy of declaring a substantial dividend
every four years. The Directors of CMG expect the next dividend in line with
this policy to be declared before the end of 2006.

Since the Acquisition, CMG has comprehensively restructured and the Group is now
profitable on a monthly basis.

Squidd. Volume up today with some large size buys.Any thoughts as to why there are only quite large size trades going through and no small trades smaller investors seem to be staying away.I think your SP quote of 7-8p is very easilly achievable short term but i am holding these as a 2-3 year investment in this time scale I would think the SP would be at least 20p+.

Keysersoze.

squidd - 30 Nov 2005 04:36 - 33 of 49

KZ: Yes, we seem to be the only small fry that have found this one so far. Often though, I find bottom fishing a very lonely meal. I agree with long term prospects.

Found this over on iii on the CMX thread.

Peter Shearlocks Small Cap Stock Picks.

Catalyst gets interim divi from SIS

When I tipped Catalyst Media Group a month ago I was hoping that Satellite Information Services (SIS), in which Catalyst has a 22.2 per cent stake, would pay a 50 million dividend to its shareholders in early 2006. Catalysts share of that would have come close to wiping out the debt used to fund the purchase of the stake.

Well, last week Catalyst announced that SIS was paying an interim 10 million dividend, and that the substantial dividend expected will be declared before the end of 2006. That is not quite as exciting, since SIS share of the interim payment will be just 2.2 million though it will reduce the outstanding borrowing from 12.09 million to 9.9 million.

SIS has confirmed the borrowing came from a hedge fund (presumably the only source willing to fund the deal at the time) and that there is a substantial financial penalty to pay if the debt is allowed to run to maturity. Hopefully, by this time next year, a 10 million dividend from SIS will have come close to eliminating that borrowing.

Catalyst also said last week it was now profitable on a monthly basis. The shares have come up from 3.13p to 4.13p but have further to go. I still believe they are selling for little more than six or seven times earnings. Hold.

Keyserseoze.

squidd - 04 Dec 2005 16:14 - 37 of 49

KZ: This latest news makes me feel uneasy. Presumably, SIS bought back their shares with cash that would otherwise have been a dividend, and although the value to shareholders is unchanged, the ready cash available to CMX is mostly delayed until next year. Still, USS Ltd seem unconcerned and continue stakebuilding. Will keep holding and watching.

Keysersoze - 04 Dec 2005 17:24 - 38 of 49

Squidd: I dont understand as to why this would make you uneasy??CMX have a larger holding in SIS now as a result of SIS buying back their own shares. Agreed it would have meant more money towards the divi but I see this as a better long term prospect greater stake for the future with SIS turnover consistently increasing year on year this can only be seen surely as positive. Once the rest of the money is paid back for the stake in SIS then with the steady year on year growth in SIS then this will put CMX in a great position with the SIS holding just on its own without any other revenue of at least 25mln+ with big fat divi`s just rolling in.

THE FUTURES BRIGHT THE FUTURES CMX

Regards,

Keysersoze.

squidd - 05 Dec 2005 06:21 - 39 of 49

KZ: I agree that CMX have a more valuable investment in SIS, but I suspect they would have preferred money up front to avoid the possibility of penalty payout on their loan. Time will tell.

Happy New Year Squidd,

Off topic but have a look at EME and let me know what you think. Looks very promising IMO.Look forward to the Squidd Analysis
