Member Info for Dar-

Hi Matt, I tried to top up today but HL wouldn't take my order. I left a buy note, so hopefully tomorrow............. I do like the company and judging by the buys today, we are not the only ones. All we have to do is wait (patiently) until the 11st September. Patient is not a strong point for me.

Hi Matt, IMO it was a reasonable update, but lacked some substance, I was not overly surprised the sp has fallen. If the price falls further, yes I too would find some capital to buy lower. Regards David

Hi I think we all knew it the wrong board, this note cannot be Watchstone "Start of an exciting new week, much to look forward to, I wouldn't want to be out of this!". The alternative is men in white coats

Hi Matt, I sold some of my holdings in RESTORE at about £4.65, I felt it was getting near a ceiling, still hold a reasonale amout and waiting for interims accounts to be filed 11/12th August. Just for your info, the funds were invested in VITEC (VTC) and IMARSTAT (ISAT). Can't complain on these companies, however I still watch RST

Hi Matt, After today's spurt the sp in Restore is now £4 .72. The interim accounts are scheduled to be released on 11th August. The last brokers "target" was £4.70, is a further note due. What are your current thoughts on the long term prospects of Restore. Atb

Hi Lindoser Yes, I should have mentioned, we have 10 member, so my personal holding is 4 shares. I live in hopes about be a millionaire (not with my daughter). my mission statement "You, Grumps and Mr Marsh can do all the important stuff while I potter about pretending I'm doing something". Basically sums my work ethics over 40 years. There were claims that I used to walk about carrying the same sheet of paper for years. Cheers

Hi Lindoser, not overly easy question to answer, but here goes... my postings have no relevance of the club's view on WTG............ Basically the club do not discuss WTG anymore, for two reasons. We hold 40 shares, therefore our value holding is in the region of £45, but of dealing costs in the instance would be £23 (I really don't want to talk about that as sore point), we (the club) would get £22 - so no point in selling. I am sure you get my drift. The other reason is a "reminder of what can go wrong" and the need for better research. Our research in QPP was exceptionally poor, accepted by all. Your second question "Does your investment retain shares that go right" The short answer is yes, however we try to retain 20 companies within our portfolio, so we make take profits - as and when - we "find" another company for investment. There are companies we hold have been a long term Of our portfolio about 40% is in FTSE 100, about 40% FTSE, about 7% All share and finally 3% AIM. WTG is about .07%. You need to be a fly on the wall........................

Shares are retained as a reminder what can go wrong. I belong to an investment club and watchstone represents a small % of portfolio. Best wishes

The recent updates from innocare and hubio read very well. There is no doubt that Watchstone group are in a better place than 4 years ago and the garbage updates from the previous CEO (forget his name). 🏡🐵🐵🐵🐵 However, because of the, as yet, unresolved historical issues, some pi's just want to watch from the sidelines, whilst the majority of pi's have sold or reduced the holdings. The Watchstone Group is better balanced. ATB

I live near Worthing West Sussex and because a pound saver shop has opened opposite poundland. Poundland has been forced to reduce their prices to 90p. Price war bring it on.... Bargain

"Fund Manager's? A pox upon them, sir", as Dr Johnson would say. Yes I would definitely agree with Dr Johnson. Everybody on the BB does agree --- Rob Terry is a .................... But I do get your point - far too many views. Many fund managers in 2012 to 2014 did agree that QPP were the greatest thing since sliced bread. And Rob Terry was almost a god. I wonder where those funds managers are now. Beats me how Fund Managers do reason, why their observations and musings are a mystery to me. Why do we (on the bb) keep looking at Watchstone?

Certainly not trying to mislead.....

I have just looked at watchstone website, yes Indro's still CEO until end of year. There is no mention of any shares held by any board members. But all shares held by Indro are no longer shown on another website I use for research.

Totally confused, well I am now. As polygon has just invested 14% or £6.5 million, fund managers now hold over £27 million (or I can't count). Therefore fund managers will be able to start playing games with the BoD and tell what to say and do. Of course charity, fund managers are well know for their kindness. Btw I was looking at another website and Indro's name / holding has disappeared. Is he no longer the CEO or has he sold his shares. Any thoughts DAR

Thank you Grumps that is very interesting, and a sizeable holding. When he becomes the CEO is will be shown. Any idea how long he has held them? What do you think will happen to Indro's holding of 50,000? (I'm not interested).

Hi AEM, Yes I do agree I must have been pre Gotham to get a price of 41p, and yes I should realize that some postings on the BB are not accurate (big fat whopping lies)... As yesterday - today nothing from the BoD, are they looking at the sp or a quick exit. Perhaps they have slipped out the back door. At least with RT we got a constant newflow Good days................. lol

If you sold at 41p (July 2015 !!!!), Why keep posting on this by. Maybe YOU have lost the plot ----- two years ago Strange fellow

Hi lindoser, I have looked at his previous postings on this by ---- everyone was negative.

Of course I meant jibes, my partner had just served food and the spell check changed my posting. Still it raised a chuckle... I have not had a good (many reasons) mainly my daughter (31) still can't budget. Perhaps she could get a job as CEO at WTG or SGH

I just sit and smile at your jobs.
