a nice little business here. Poland is looking to be on the up.One of their cities is going to be cultural capital of Europe next year. Whatever that means, but it's publicity. I had a little dabble and then another one.
Didn't realise the hearing was that soon. Eyes down for a full house on Monday then. Willl watch with bated breath, lucky charms all lined up in a row, tea leaves analysed and a telescope to the stars. Bring it on.
I worked for Mecca as a croupier in the Sportsman in Tottenham Court Rd in the dim and distant mist of time c.1984.
I've been partial to gaming stocks over the years. Held William Hill and 32 Red. Don't hold them now. They helped cover some losses. Can't really contribute the discussion about Sportech and this proposed buy out. To be honest, I'm not very good at tech analysis. It seems to change everyday. Hope to talk again at a quid!
Just to let you know you are not alone. I'm listening.
I know Chrisking. I boughtt them at 17 and then again last week at 8.5. Mind you a few years ago I bought them at 50 and sold at 75. It's a crazy game. I've taken some losses, I've made some gains on shares. Just about even Stevens so far. But the entertainment value has been worth it. Zox has so much bad luck it reminds me of an old blues lyric 'If I hadn't been born with bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all'. I have faith.
I'm quite used to drops when Andrew Woolett comes online to say there's a problem with some gizmo or other. Not a squeak today. I bought a few more but that's my lot.
of late. As long as they maintain the dividend and don't draw down too much on their cash unwisely, they could be going places. I'll sit and wait.
It's actually gone up!
always: exciting = risky risky= blood pressure problems. I've stuck my neck out with Sim more than I would normally do for a small company. What the hell, I've done it. Come what may
Thanks for your thoughts Jolly. Very well put. A dose of modesty never goes amiss on these boards.
Draft Why do you direct people to positive sites and then remain negative? Also, re your point about, 'how do you sell repeat training?' You sell repeat training as things change, and the world Simigon are operating in is changing very fast. I probabaly won't know how to drive a new car in the next ten years And another point. Simigon have said they are branching out from the military use of their tech into more civil use. I know the sp has taken a dive recently. I'm underwater. But, you know, they come across as people that know where they are going.
Hello Draft I don't think a software company that employs over 40 people can be considered small. I agree with Ian though, they need to pull their finger out
is this company tanking? Is there something wrong with it? I can't see anything wrong with it.
that attracted me to this company was the very low percentage free float. I know that is sometimes considered a negative factor because of the illiquid nature of the share and the worry that more equity could be released in the future by the two big holders. Ok, that will probably mean a drop. But how big a drop? I don't think the new equity would be used to pay debts or directors, soon to disappear, salaries. As they say, good luck. I don't think this one needs luck.
but I had another little dab at 22.7. That't it for me. Until the next time
with you Paulie12. They are volatile though.That might be because they are such a favouite with the institutions. They are one one of my favourites too, and I'm not an institution. I bought back in today
I don't think I've ever seen the likes of that. On the surface it looks like sharing some of the cake. We'll see.
I hope it proves prudent for you. I like the company and the fact they are stuffed with cash
Bloody hell Jolly, your right. Who on earth did they sell them to?
