Unless the buy of £1.3 million at £1.28 decides to sell at £1.40 and make a swift profit.

I did look at hotcopper and the many comments made, certainly not all. SGH can't hope the claim will be successful, WTG haven't got £600 million. I have stopped looking for any positive in WTG and I have started to think the BoD are just assets stripping.

That posting not like you GS..,..😎 Have a big glass of gin. As Morecambe and Wise used to sing "always look on the bright side of life". As Monty Python "only a flesh wound" As Richard Rose "Indro we have a problem"

GS, misspelling I think, did you mean FACES. The word used has another meaning. However could be relevant. The news amazes me (also the comments made). If RT has his day in court....? Could members of this bb form a jury ☺

so £17 has been reached --- well the next target is (logical) £18. Stellershares said on Tuesday 9th May "Ill stick my neck out and say, looking for £20 in next couple of months" Initially my thought were unlikely, however if the sp growth continues then £20 is possible. ATB

This company is also in Marlborough special situations. I totally respect the manager Giles Hargreaves. Whilst I have sold Fevertree ( I made an excellent profit - but matby I sold too quickly). Marlborough special situations also have NMC and RESTORE in their funds. Both these companies sit in my portfolio and I have seen excellent returns. I do take on board slipperyslope's about growth stocks, and I have - hopefully - taken steps to avoid a sharp fall in a bear market. The steps I have taken is :- Restore (as in the AIM) a stop loss of 15% below the top price, that will lock in my profit IF a bear market, happens before I decide to take my profit.................. That could happen any day............. NMC - I have not applied a s/l because NMC is not a UK company and bull or bear markets not overly relevant to this company. I will at some stage take my profit, just not sure when............ I do have a lot of money in NMC and watch everyday for a slight tremor. ATB

really good luck to you - hopefully a lesson learnt but not forgotten. Best wishes DAR

I must confess the RNS has left me baffled, but if the SP responds with a positive movement, then who am I to complain. ATB

Hi bluebottle, so some good will come out the fiasco that is DCP, you will be warm for a while and think rosy thoughts of the management of DCP. I would say have a whisky in front of the fire. Could be that after DCP you cannot afford whisky. Hi Valency, I totally agree with your comments / observations all parties in this sorry mess had scant regards to investors money. I wish everybody well and not all companies are ............... you fill in the blanks ATB DAR

Hello Matt, As you are the """" expert """"" on Restore, please tell what is driving the share price. Slightly confused some trades on the 8th May have been shown on the trades today. Matthew C mentioned a 'takeover', that's not likely but maybe a further acquisition. Restore AGM on 22nd May, will you be present

I really can't explain the SP movement but I feel that more factors must "drive" the share price apart from trades.

perhaps we should (on this board) form a committee and send our joint CV's to Watchstone and apply to be the CEO from 1st January 2018. I feel sure that our combined experience would lead Watchstone to a very bright future.

Hello Banksman, Don't worry about your apparent loss of humour with regards to DCP. Everybody has loss money on DCP. ---- yep a disgrace. Just think --- next time it will be different

The management made statements about the "value" of the diamonds that were mined but any diamonds found in South Africa has to be auctioned at Jo'berg diamond exchange (before they leave the country). The valuation of the diamonds was substantially less than the valuation of the company valuation. (however, that was a "distress" valuation. I do not know if the diamonds have been auctioned or in Jo'berg diamond exchange vaults (pending DCP status). I still think the management of DCP is "questionable"... Sorry I can't see a positive outcome. ATB

Hi GS I trust you had a good golfing weekend and had your fair share of gin (although I confess I don't know what your fair share of gin is ...............). There is quite a few pluses in the accounts of WTG, listed below:- Richard Rose is still there and Richard is an extremely experienced person (and I have a very high degree for his ability). Remember RR was the person who "stood up" to Rob Terry and "encouraged" RT to leave (and that took ba**s). Mark Williams (FD) is also a very experienced FD (in my dim and distance pass I have worked with Mark Williams (I think the same one became of company 'match') and he will strive to do his best for Watchstone. Plus David Currie - who introduced Richard Rose into Quindell and saw what RT was doing to Quindell. And finally the company is still cash rich, although I do acknowledge this has fallen in the past 12 months. Indro has made quite a few changes and closed some loss making division and now Watchstone is leaner and therefore a greater opportunity to kick on. As GS has already mentioned Quindell was a mess and quite possibly some people would "throw the towel in". But Richard R, Indro M, Mark W. Nobody knows the final outcome of SGH & SFO, so these issues will "hamper" any future growth of Watchstone. IMO the SFO decision will be "not in the public interests to proceed" but I do not have a crystal ball (pity). SGH is beyond me.............. Therefore I can't comment. I do think that with RR, MW, DC. Watchstone have a future, after the legacy issues have been resolved. As an american would say "have a good day" and I mean that. DAR-

Hi Whogarth, You said "A valuable mine which needs in the order of 4 million to kick start operations" Please can you tell me (or anybody else) this is a valuable mine. The value of the mine is based on the observations made by the former management. In short this is the reason why are the large share holders going to let it go? Sorry whogarth the company has not a got a viable future. DAR-

during my working life I would like to think I personally added value to each company I work for, and yes I was given increases to reflect my performance. From each company I walked away with my head held high.. If I had performed poorly, quite probably, I would have been asked to leave. Never did always resigned because I had taken the job as far as I could............. At my last job I said I was a better Credit manager than Wayne Rooney, therefore I should get £220k per week. adly I didn't The CEO of Watchstone can't say that --------------- Therefore should his salary reflect performance. Sorry being silly -- corporate world does work like that.

Words fail me..... Last year the CEO got £435,000 that was sufficient. So an increase to £1m is errr ---------------- a lot Beats me why is he leaving ????

I think the outlook is MORE miserable, than before for a number of reasons. 1/ The Ceo - Indro - is leaving on 31st December 2/ cash burn - although there were valid reasons 3/ no mention of escrow monies But you are right must never forget, the BoD are (quietly) getting on with the job in hand. I confess I don't know a solution. But plus factor the BoD are still working towards a solution

I held and then sold a few months ago, and whilst I have a tremendous respect for John Dawson cand what he his trying to achieve. I can only say look at the last filed accounts, for in my opinion the debt ratio to sales is too high. That is the reason I sold ATB
