Minds + Machines Group Limited (AIM: MMX) has been notified that the TR-1 form below relates to the acquisition of Hargreave Hale, and the funds managed by them, by Canaccord Genuity Group, which completed on 18 September 2017.

I don't think so?

yes Sundaysun, hopefully forward guidance will balance out the poor first half figures.The quicker they can get this bloody review sorted the better for me too.It could get a bit rocky next week if the review has been a waste of time on top of a dismal first half.If it goes back to the 9p area I won't be surprised and I will be in for another million shares at least because ultimately it's going north and I can wait.

hope nobody is expecting any decent figures coming up as they will be disappointed imo.Going forward is what matters most and that looks rosy but it won't stop the scaremongering next week.

trades missing here but they are all there on my phone.

Sunday, do you think it would've taken 4 months to make a decision? It should not have taken more than a couple of months DD for any would be buyer to see what it's all about and make an offer imo! As I said before, if that is the case it hopefully can be offset by some other good news like a small divi maybe!

I am looking at 3/4 years before I will look to cash mine in so plenty of time for that, unless of course it's taken out before then and a buying opp at figures mentioned would be a very nice bonus.As I said the business is 'in great shape'

yes Imnot, .vip alone could well get 4/5m+ reg's in time.Watch the lemmings when it's announced it's no deal ha ha! Would love to get more at 8/9p ..

I just have a feeling that there is no deal at this point in time as it would not have taken this long to come to some agreement.That said, how low will the sp sink or has it been priced in a little with recent selling? As long as it's short term then it can go as low as it likes as I will add quite a few.Bottom line is the business is in 'great shape' so no worries short/medium term even if it does sink a bit! So is it deal or no deal??

now back over 100k.....inc deletes...not too shabby lately!

ultimately, as far as I am aware the business is in great shape so that's all that matters to me.This company will flourish whatever!

and just to remind that 1H figures WILL NOT be as good as last year so no dummy throwing when results are out!! "However, whilst the holding back of material premium inventory in China, and no scheduled new domain launch in the period, will mean H1 2017 sales will not repeat the quantum of H1 2016, the quality and make-up of the revenue is significantly improved".

why are people getting soooo excited about a few weak hands selling.It's probably only the crowd who know feck all about the business and bought because ST said so and now getting cold feet because they see a little red on the board and follow like lemmings because they know no better. People are forgetting the underlying business is still very good and will very soon be showing profits.If there is no deal on the table I hope they announce a small divi to balance things up a bit.

yes it certainly is a bit odd considering the good RNS's we have had recently.There is a lot of scepticism around this share, I wonder why?

I agree, there was no need to announce it when they did, just made things worse with all the speculation.Fair enough if it was going to take no more than 6 weeks or so, but 4 months is way over the top imo.Let's face it, we're talking a minute business here, not a multi billion pound company.

obviously many still doubt the outcome and expect the sp to tank it seems.

I remember reading recently someone putting .vip at about £57m .I think it might have been someone at IC or Proactive, can't quite remember.

courtesy of GHF on Advfn; Having waded through 100's of useless posts on both MMX threads, thought it worthwhile to post an update that may assist those that look at the fundamentals of a company rather than speculate with their student loans that this will be acquired for 18p. Due to the strategic review house broker finnCap required to withdraw forecasts & target price for the shares.They however issued a small summary today concerning today's positive news on premium domain sales & summary of recent news, which is bullish in tone. Today MMX has disclosed that .vip premium inventory bookings in China have reached $3.4m. We estimate this represents c.50% of the comparable figure from last year; however, this been achieved in less than half the time (three months, versus eight in FY16). In our view, this achievement is a result of two key factors; management has managed the supply of new premium inventory (hence creating scarcity value); and .vip's brand strength has not faded one year on from launch. This news, together with July's update (.vip: 75% renewal rate) provides compelling evidence that the domain's status within the investment community is exceptionally strong, which in turn is an excellent foundation for broader adoption with new user groups eg SMEs – an opportunity that has been enhanced thanks to recent licensing approval in Beijing (22m inhabitants). Encouragingly, there is evidence this adoption is already taking place – with China's leading search engine (Baidu.com) recognising c.189,000 different .vip sites. In July MMX updated the market that .vip has been renewing at 75%. We reiterate that is comparable with industry leader Verisign (2Q17: 74%). Phrased alternatively, we estimate that .vip's churn is c.30-40% lower than the new gTLDs industry as a whole – either way, renewal demand appears exceptionally robust."

Tap, every person on this BB matters not a jot...I still reckon around 17/18p is the mark... though hopefully I am wrong.

whoever said it was worth 20p+ ?? Don't forget it has risen 30% since the news broke! If the options don't match what they think it's worth then what do you expect them to do? For me they can feck this so called interest into touch, build the business, hand out some divis then sell at a later date, no probs.
