I reckon that when Tosca get to 30%, they'll announce a plan to take Blinkx back into private ownership, and in conjunction with RG (10%), Mike Lynch (4.5%) and the assorted shareholdings of the BOD (c.5%), will get the required 50% needed in order to do it. They'll de-list Blinkx from AIM and re-list it on Nasdaq when the company 'suddenly' becomes profitable again.
I fully expect another disappointing trading update next week that will drop the price to its lowest level for years. This will help Tosca over the finishing line and will allow JPMorgan Assets to close their short with a very healthy profit. JPMorgan opened the short at c.38-9 and it was noticeable that they didn't close when the price dropped down to 15p after the last profit warning. That's because they know it's going even lower.
We'll be lucky if we get 50p per share. I say 50p because that's what the price needs to be for BM to exercise his 7 million share options announced the other month.
I think they're all in it together and BM and the BOD are fully in on it.
This fits in precisely with Mike Lynch's article in the Sunday Times last year, when he said tech companies like Blinkx would be better off on Nasdaq. I reckon that's why he reduced his holding back then so that it appears that others have done the dirty work, but I'm sure he'll be back in there once it's off the casino called AIM.
Blinkx will be re-listed as RythmOne and will then become a highly profitable company. All these major players will make a fortune, and the rest of us will be left holding the tab.
All IMHO of course.
