Resolution passed conclusively!!

Last trade 45 mins ago...even the in- out merchants dont know which way to bet!! So do a straddle guys!

Has someone come in and spoiled the party?

Not today rugs...she's too busy serving pints to bother with me!

I know....its a riddle wrapped up in an enigma....

Ain't telling us nothing...I give up!

Heh guys their arguing over the price...? Jeez get a grip!

Heh guys....no news is bad news!!?

I shudda gone and joined the jolly!

Well one day they might tell us!

A little shake by the Barrow boys looking for some cheapos!

Remember Sphere shares go down a hell of a lot quicker than t'other way round!

Morning Del....As ever I tend to look on worst case scenarios praying I'm wrong. Don't work too hard!

Costello as your the No 1 bad mouther of this Co (fair enough I have no problem with that) why not sell up? Take your loss and move on. You seem certain there is no future for Sphere so why stick around? If I was as sure as you of Sphere's imminent demise I'd be outta here yesterday. Comments such as 'garbage' shares 'dog poo' and the like don't cut it on this BB. It might ease your frustration for a second but it ain't no long term palliative! I know.....stuck in a suspended share for 14 months! Try that one for size and more invested there than here! Anyways enjoy your last few days on this board I hope they are pleasant ones!

Savvy66 we are way past P3 which was basically a lost leader and used to gather feedback from users. We're very much into P4+ and the auto version P5 aimed at the US market...when & if. There are drawbacks from going private the main concern for those who have only the Ords it's unlikely they will see dividends (if any are issued) that does not bother me.....it is will Sphere ever be in a position to return to the public markets and will W want to recoup his considerable investment which could be upwards of £30-40m? He may, he may not? Another consideration is will you be able to sell once inside a private Co? Will you find a buyer should you be desperate for cash? If your throwing your lot in with W&E you better hope he will! W&E& LSF hold 76.3m shares so assuming all the iis and other smaller iis have gone there are c 66m left. Since the crash c106m have been traded so lots of churning however it might be safe to assume that come delisting pis might well own 40% a huge increase from pre crash levels. I bet W didn't see that coming. I have absolutely no idea how the sp will react if the vote passes....I hate this phrase "it's already priced in!" But it might be? Sentiment will improve I'm sure the sp I'm not so sure. Tbh as I'm intending to keep my stock until the last minute (in case we get an offer)...Yea right, sp movements are neither here or there. Expect lots of gyrations between now and the 19th. By then we should be in a better position to decide..."is it with him or agin him?"

Would I be happy to see the sp at 2? Maybe? At 3 I might crack a smile. At 4 I'm warming to it. At 6 I'm defo interested. Then I look at the date....EFF ME it's 2022! Jeez where has all the time gone?

Del...as I understand it the HALO principle can be summed up as... " Be careful what you wish for you might just bloody get it"....along those lines...

Sp on way down as is the norm with Sphere a bit of barrow boys shake about....methinks....meaningless imo....

It ain't going into administration!! It's delisting and going private! Administration might happen if the vote is 'NO' and even then it might not. If investors vote for crippling the Co and their investment then we bloody well deserve everything that's coming to us....which won't be much! In such matters one can never be absolute...ask the supply teacher!

Yup shares traded on crash day was 21.6M followed 3.74M then 4.1m then 2.8M. Today has been by far the bigest trading day! To what pupose and why I have no idea. Still I have near doubled my last two purchases so the play would be sell and reinvest. Will I? Probably not, no make that definitely not pre vote just in case that booogey man strikes unwary investors. Take your point re HALO principle or confirmation bias luckily I don't suffer from this...I think!! It's a very rare day for Sphere to be the centre of attention after years of heedlessness so one days excitement don't make a summer! Won't grumble but we need more info from the EGM whether we get it is questionable.
