Member Info for Davius

Lol, I hope that we all knew that. I assume he meant in the context of the company, i.e. Why call itself Zoo Digital? Whatever the origins, I'm still not tempted.

I'm not a big fan of thinly traded shares. Lack of news can quite halve your investment, particularly if the spread is large. If it's this much hassle just to find info on this share then both my punting and barging poles will have to stay well clear. The market is awash with good opportunities at present with good potential upside and relatively limited risk. I'll be sticking with TAN (for longer term growth) and SEO (as my potential multibagger). I'm still in FEP (longer term), MOB (until tomorrow anyway) and SKP (very long term, sigh) and I keep a beady on ACE (day trading possible it's so volatile), as well as a few others. And EME is my only other oily at present.

No I'm not. I can't find any info available on the company, even the market cap is coming up a £0. It's listes as an AIM stock but is very thinly traded, one or two trades a day. A quote provided 0.15-0.16p so not a bad spread for such a thin trade, but without any info available I would not punt here. My comment was in response to the wild suggestion of being a quarter milloinaire on the back of this, er, company. :) I think that is a bit wild but could not give an overall opinion without any info.

LAUGHTASTIC! (and turn caps lock off please)

On the 12th September 2000, GTL hit 3375p (effective SP after rights)! Since then the steady decline looks to have been due to repeated fundraising as turnover has remained nil. For the 2006 accounts they had no turnover, and losses of £7.22m or 46p per share. Decent assets of around £18m, mostly tangibles, and cash and securities of over £11m look to be what's keeping the company going. Profits are not expected again for 2007 but at least the company will have some income. In 2008 the prediction is for £60m in sales and profits of £5.1m which would put the company on a forward P/E of around 7.5, a very cheap rating. I suspect that worries over failure to meet the forecasts for next year are responsible for the continued lack of support for the shares. The announcement of sales in January caused a brief flurry of interest, as did the first $1m in revenue payments later in that month, but the SP has continued to drift since then. I could not guess whether we've reached the bottom yet, but there has to be good potential as a recovery stock, now that sales have (after a long and arduous journey for shareholders) finally commenced. One to watch for the bounce I think.

...I am holding, at least until the aftermath of the EGM.

I doubt they'll be much movement left in it today, although you can never tell. Here are my latest comments from ADVFN: The ZED deal was good for MOB as it gave it the cash injection to sort out the debts and commitments, but not so good for existing shareholders as they had no immediate benefit, the company had just doubled in size and would need to use the extra cash to meet debt. Hence the shares gradually dropped on lack of interest, briefly dipping to below 40p. Long term the ZED deal should have help them recover, but it wasn't a very exciting deal for shareholders. The tentative 65p linktone offer has now solidified somewhat on the news that due dilligence has been completed. It would make little sense for shareholders to accept the ZED deal at the EGM on Friday, as Linktone made it quite clear that they would only bid for MOB if the deal was rejected. However I can't see ZED doing much before Friday, as there is a slim chance that they could still win the vote (supported by long term holders who see more than the 65-67p value in the share offered by Linktone). Assuming we have a rejection then I think we might well see a 60p share price. Whether it goes higher depends on both ZED and Linktone. If ZED are serious about MOB and have the funding, they might come back with a counter offer, perhaps 65-70p. If that does happen then we have a good hike in the share price and us shareholders will be very happy. Despite the moderate risk of it all going pear shaped,

What's the appeal on this one then? From April until October the share price didn't move and there were just one or two trades a day. To the year ended March 06 they had a turnover of £4.98m but lost £5.5m. The interims to the end of September showed a 6 month turnover of just £0.468m with a loss of £2.173m. Directors buys look encouraging, but why do you see this as a buy? Not a criticism, but I can't see any RNS that makes this stand out as a good recovery stock, have I missed something?

Quite a lot of news out, MOB up to around 55-57p. Long release from Linktone, except follows, read the full release if you want to: As a result of those discussions, Linktone has completed its remaining due diligence and has also established a mechanism for providing MonsterMob with funding to meet its financial obligations in the period leading up to completion of a transaction with Linktone. The due diligence condition has now been satisfied. As referred to in the 15th February anouncement, on the basis of the closing price of Linktone ADSs of US$4.34 on 20 February 2007, the Securities Exchange Ratio as referred to in the announcement on 15 February 2007 (and as defined below) values each MonsterMob ordinary share at US$1.31 being 67p at the exchange rate of US$/# 0.5126 (at close of business on 20 February 2007). The Linktone timetable would envisage completion in early May. There is no SEC review for this transaction in the United States and minimal completion risk.

When YOU see her, is what it should have said...

Give her my regards when I see her, tell her Davius says thanks for the other night ;) Anyone think that might be a mistype and Evolution meant to say they'd go to 0.25p? they could be serious of course, 6 fold or so increase on the current SP, that would rate the company as worth roughly £14m. Hard to see how they get that though, as still no turnover yet. But this is the way 'eco' stocks are talked of. Re the trading today, 2.7m (mostly buys by the look of it) are delayed trades, only 172K showing as confirmed buys definitely today. Prior to the increase in business yesterday there were typically only 1 or 2 trades a day in this share though. No opinion.

Lol, a pound. Pump and dump is still all the rage on this one then, hehe.

No, I'm pretty sure it was a buy, latest pricing was 23.25-23.5p, I keep a close eye on it as a holder. I'd be surprised if someone received that price on selling shares in after hours trade. If it had been delayed I might have believed otherwise. Not a huge transaction on the face of it but I still think we might be due a small rise, and at this SP even a couple of pence means a reasonable return.

There's a 1m share buy showing up at 17:11 at 23.4735p. There were also two buys of 250K and 750K shares at 23.5p at 16:18 and 16:23. It looks like someone picked up 2m shares in SKP late today, with overall buys at 2.8m and sells at 400K. The company appears to be still some time from profitability, but with the recent share placing they should not need further funds for now. When they finally get the cash from the injectibles sale we might see a little activity here. It is frustrating because it doensn't take much of a rise from these levels to see healthy profits. Although I've been in fairly long term at a higher level, I have bought and sold two or three times since we've been down at sub 23p, each time at a profit. My latest punt was at 22.98p last week, I'm looking for that break out towards 27p again in the not too distant future. I would not particularly recommend them as a buy to anyone else as they might test the 21p lows seen previously, but I am encouraged by a bit more buying lately.

Turnover slowly dropping (£12m in 2002 to £9.3m last year), loss of £1.7m for 2006. Virtually no assets accept plant of £0.26m, just £112K cash and they owed more money to creditors than was owed to them from debtors. The accounts say the company is all but bust. However, the interim reulsts to September 30th showed a profit of £170K on reduced turnover and the order book is very strong with £2m on the books. A slightly odd situation as Trianda Ltd (a Bahamas Company) owns 60% of the shares and under normal circumstances would have to bid for the company. However the takeover panel waived the obligation so long as Trianda did not vote at the EGM. A hefty placing earlier last year raised £1.325m at 0.25p per share, but with profits coming in they may be safe from the need for further fundraising. VERY thinly traded and a huge spread (0.5-0.7p) might mean a long wait for a profit for anyone buying shares. The market cap at £5.2m is well under the yearly turnover though, so if they can start making a decent profit on that then a rerating would be in order.

>This is tipped to 125p can this really be true You want the short 2 letter anwer to that? :)

All I can tell you is that it has doubled in a week but no RNS. Presumably linked to progress on mining in Madagascar, perhaps a leak ahead of a formal update. No turnover reported for 2006 and £0.5m loss, but £2.3m in the bank. The trades have been pretty thin, and would not normally be enough to drive up a share in this way, I'd have thought. Even today we've only seen 18 bargains, although mostly buys, a couple of hundred thousand shares bought (but that includes a 100K cross trade at 40p). Either expectation (or leak) of news, or perhaps the MMs are reappriasing the market cap of the company.

Whatever the derivation of the company name, or the personal slanging match between (dis)interested parties ;) things are looking pretty bleak for ZOO. Of the few trades in this share there have been just 2 buys since the 8th February and the share price has continued its downward trend from 30p then to 26p today. This follows the peak of 76p on the 5th December after the share consolidation. Having made an upbeat statement on the 22nd December they then issued a profits warning on the 19th January. I could almost be writing about TRX and look what's happened to that company. One to avoid.

Up 42.94% (and it has been higher today as well). Hit 4p on the 6th February, so 12p is a threefold increase in a fortnight. Generally under 10 trades a day though, so once the furore dies down it's likely to go quiet again. I don't think I'd punt on this at these levels, but good luck to the brave.

Sorry, that should have said fall to 27p or so...
