I've about £60 on it at various prices as high as 26/1. Good luck
I don't know what price your getting on the horse, but Betfair had odds of 24/1which is a lot better than last night. If it's got a chance like you say it's worth punting more and at those odds I could trade out for a nice profit, but it's got to be in a good position for that to happen.
I know you said it had a good chance for a top 3 and your looking at about 8/1 on opening. Having just checked Bet 365, they were offering 10/1, so when I checked on Betfair, which is my main punting site I managed to get on @ 17/1. But the price offered currently for a place was just 2/1 so have left it and "IF" I remember I'll put the place bet on. Ps I lied about a Monkey, was just a score I had on it. But I just hate horse racing for betting, just to easy to knobble a horse or a bribe if your a Munchkin riding it. But don't mind the odd tip, but having just read Willie Thorne's autobiography it will be a while before I back another horse....... Good luck with it and thanks for sharing.
Although off topic, I feel it's worth a punt seeing though there's fk all else happening. A monkey each way it is then chaps, and thanks in advance for the tip.
Re .20p I hear what your saying, but I was jumping on the band wagon from what others had said. But you have to ask yourself, are people who hold MTA shares and are so adamant that they're going to be taken to the cleaners that they would sell at whatever price so they could cut there losses. You know more than me of course, but can you seriously think that they are so desperate to get rid they would except anything and that anything 'could' be just .20p. It's all ifs and buts at the moment, the fun starts once they delist on the 1st May. What do you reckon if no suspension and we were trading today would you think the price would currently be at?
With regards the meeting on the 23rd in London, it would be nice to know if anyone else bar myself is thinking go attending? To be honest I don't really know why I should bother, everything is going to be passed and it should just be a straight forward no thrills meeting. But if of course someone would like me ask questions then I will be asking nearer the time for those said questions. I know I asked earlier, but it just makes it easier for me to be nearer the time rather than now or previous, although I do still have the 3 key questions to ask from previous posters. Stav, What do you mean in your comments about me saying don't even go there..... Are you referring to me buying bargain basement MTA shares from Jenkins? Lol ........ If so I to also feel if shares are being offered @ .20 then I think it's a steal. At a guess I'm thinking it was SuperTed who said adding more on top of is £80k holding @ .20 is without a shadow of a doubt the right thing to do, and like said what's an extra £6k on top if they do re list in about 2 yrs time. I feel it's a no brainer considering the risk reward factor. I'm now fully behind the company and retract all the threats made by myself, although if it did go tits up I would hunt him down like a dog if of course this was all planned to rip off the PI's, but I'm not going down that road yet. Like mentioned this could turn out to be the best thing for holders if and when they relist, it's just about the time it takes is the real question, and when shareholders can release there profits for keeping the faith. I'm sitting on the fence regards Matra being sold so quickly Stav. I just think the amount of work that's gone in to what it is currently and the fact MB wanted to make Matra into that Mid size oil company just says it's not time yet, but that's me thinking, and I know fk all.
Jumping into this board, I simply mis clicked and then started to read the board and Betfair. I like Keith have been Betfair customers for donkeys and he is right what he is saying. But I don't want to go down there and get involved in your debate. But Betfair is top of the tree in exchanges and it will be many years into the future. But the only way it will start to lose to other exchanges, and your talking like I said years into the future here, is if they don't keep an eye on the commission they charge. Most markets are 5% which is accepted of course! but there will come a time when this will need to be looked at. The only possible way Betdaq or any other exchange could ever think to compete would be the commission they charge, and your talking about multi millions on marketing and advertising for the other exchanges who want to take a shot at being number 1. Plan and simple, and even then, all Betfair do is lower that 5% to 2 or even 1%. They've made there money by being alone for so long, and could afford to lower the commission in time, then what for the other exchanges, what else could they possibly offer to try and match or overtake Betfair as the number 1 exchange. Nothing, is the answer. Maybe in twenty yrs or so but not before. Sorry for interfering and I'll leave you to it.
Now I know I said I was having a break, but I jumped on to see how my ISA company was doing and threw bad habit punched in MTA and well here I am. I promise to be polite and not threaten to muller anybody. But I see the thing about ISAs and private companies. I had no idea if it is true about not being allowed private companies in a stocks and shares ISA. If I was not in a tither last year I would of used my full allowance into MTA. But being my broker, they told me I had to wait 3 days from selling to be put into the ISA. Obviously this was pre suspension so it never happened. But my ISA is now full of my 2nd biggest holding, and is basically a cash shell and anything could happen I guess. If it did happen, would I then have to sell those? I also see my question yesterday was unanswered. Again, what does it mean when Matra said about trading in the CREST company. I'm not sure if you saw it or not, but I read the RNS from the Matra website, so it may not of been in LSE RNS. But please could someone have a look for me please and get back to me. I read below that this could be a gold mine now for picking up cheap MTA shares. I would certainly buy cheap shares if it came to it, and for all those who believe Matra will come good, it might be a good opportunity for yourselves. To bow out with, I read a comment about Matra being valued at possible $200 million in a year and then getting shot down. I wouldn't be to quick to put that down. If the RTO goes through, even before all this RNS came out, it was mentioned that the deal itself could be worth that amount.......
about that crest question I posted. I'm going off board for a while, and for my own good. I don't get visited every 2 weeks from the Mental Health for nothing ya know. My aggression is way to high currently and it will only get worse with the more I read. Don't know when I'll be back. It's not like we are going anywhere is it.... Adios
AIM is a crooks paradise. Look at EMT today. It closed Fri at 112.00 and this morning shot upto 285.00 with no rns, and now up just 5%. How many lives have just turned for the worse. Unreal, Unreal
Ultra, they say possible US. the Board currently intends to seek to have the Company listed again on a public market, potentially in the United States
please explain what they mean in this statement please. The Ordinary Shares will remain eligible for settlement in CREST. Accordingly, Shareholders will continue to be able to hold their Ordinary Shares in CREST after Delisting. ps. I did tone it down about a certain person, and you really think if i was going to do something like that i would say so...... Come on, i cant even p1ss when i want to let alone threaten anyone in person, what you lot like tut.
so your saying its business and to let it go huh. now if what your saying about the shareholders means nothing, how come we dont read about bosses getting gunned down or murdered. Because I can be very sure, that if someone just took a big wad of cash of mine and run off into the sunset which lets face it is basically what your saying and have no comeback then the world is really screwed up. I would hunt him down like a dog and beat him so bad he'd wouldnt eat solid food ever again..... You say just let it go lol yeah right. But thanks for the heads up
Investment. Although off topic but with no RNS yet here what the heck. But just wondering if anyone took a punt is all. If so another 10% rise thus far today and already 50% up in my ISA in just 2 weeks. I may be down and almost out but nice to see neitherless. Now just waiting to see Maxim multi bag my other investment!
I know I wouldn't be trading my bargain shares at a discount price. I didn't sit and count down the days and weeks following the suspension to be offered 1p if I'm lucky. I want my investment to fully mature and if they can give that in there speech on the 23rd then I don't have problem being locked in for 2 years even. I've spunk most of my compensation away, but at least this way I win the bet wifey, who said I would of spent the lot in 5 yrs.
I see my other investment up another 9% today...
Monday it is then, and I'm 50% on replies out of 2. Mike, I'm going to hang fire till Monday, and if I have to I'll go back and your post re ur questions.
Bravo fella, very well thought out and for me now, this is where I stand. It breaks it down beautifully, and although Ultra makes a valid point, although I can't recall what for now ffs, anyways he makes a valid point in something. I am 100% going to the meeting on the 23rd, now I have the date wrote down and can't forget! And from the last 7 pages of this BB I have wrote down 3 questions that people have asked to be asked at the meeting. If you want me to ask a certain question without trying to belittle Barski or Matra then I will ask it. Of course I'm not going to ask the same question twice, so if I feel I have the question already wrote down then I won't repeat it. Just a quick recap of the questions already, I have, is it MB intention to freeze out the pi's who have backed him and to elaborate on the way forward. About Matra offering a buy back for shareholders who don't want to run the risk of losing everything with the company going private and with no date for the shares to begin trading again. MB, did you always intend to use the rule 7 to delist from AIM, and if it's only 12 months for a lock in, why can't this happen, we've already been suspended for 5 months, so what's another 12. There not word for word, but you'll know it if you asked it. It would be great to know if anyone else is going. Oh forgot, yes I do have the balls to stand up and ask anything. I have also no quarms in saying how much I had invested in Matra. I received £177k out of £200k in compensation from my works accident, and over 3 yrs I have 10k left once Matra is delisted. I've probably put 100k into Matra alone in over 2 yrs and then watched it go down down and more down to the £21.5k I have left presently at 1p. So if your asking if I have the balls to stand up, threaten, punch and kick if I feel fit then yes I do have. I should of been celebrating in 2 weeks with Matra open for trading and watching how high we would go on the RTO and SOKO news, but I find myself almost broke now, so I for one don't mind being locked in for the fruits to ripen, just don't run off with my money is all I can say! Right then, that's that out of the way, so again, if you have a question write it on here. Of course we await the circular next week, which should provide some answers, but may well bring more questions, we shall see......
I've joined and posted.
The question I asked..... Please, how will Matra know how much each of us have in shares. Simple question nothing to complicated there is there, but yet no answers. Do I ask my broker for my shares certificate, or do I do nothing because Matra know I hold x amount. I must admit, if someone asked me to sell my shares to them for double what there worth currently, I would refuse. Although I still feel physically sick with the thought of losing all my cash, which I invested to buy a retirement home with, I feel a bit better. Ok, I'm like Stav in that I really couldn't wait until next Summer, but if I have to then I have to simples. I will still be going to the meeting on the 24th I think from memory, I won't be hard to notice...... I'll be the one that causes a commotion if I don't like what I hear....... Looking into the future though, it would be a blessing if and when we can trade again, that while locked in the growth of the company as increased ten fold or more, but one step at a time I think. Good night peeps, and remember my question ffs
