Went through the same Bz: condolences and best wishes from me and Mrs M. We have appreciated your thoughts since joining the BB.

My point entirely pi…..and as with lies eg Herr Schicklegruber…..if you tell one make it a big one then people will believe you. Look forward to another 400 or so insightful contributions tomo. ATB.

Ps : Also fascinated by the talk of that deadly sin "debt" probably by many who are themselves in "debt" and as most of the population are in "debt" and not least HM Gov. Sadly thrift went out of fashion with Mr Micawber and JM Keynes though still observed by Mrs M who is looking forward to her visit to the pictures come the winter evenings.

Sound sense AJ: can't see what all the fuss is about but it all makes for the modern delight for rumour of disaster, penury, famine, plague, and the ice caps melting. "Need more wood, Mrs M and don't forget to put the cat and the budgie on board." cf The Miller's Tale: better read than this BB.

Thank you Poker: couldn't have put it better myself: extraordinary hysteria "on a report". Told Mrs M that all Cinemas are closing down and she will just have TV to watch so will need to put popcorn on the Waitrose order. She found it difficult to believe........says she hears lots of reports, especially in the Daily Mail, but never takes much notice. Prefers to look at the real world not the virtual portrayal offered by "reports".

Was about to post mk.....news says "on a report"....Whose? When? on what basis? from whom? seems to me to be about as reliable as the BBC climate global warming reports following a bit of a drought.

ps AH : Mrs M says she is very glad that I don't contribute to the BBs of shares that I don't hold. She says it must be a full time job: has he nothing better to do? ATB

AH : do you mean 1980s or 80p? If you have made a "nice" profit at 80p then I for one would question your definition of "nice" and I do feel that your Aiming High nomenclature is also somewhat overstated, even more so if you boast of "nice" profits since 2021 - or perhaps that is just your area code. Since you have "sold out" I am mystified as to why you need to clutter this BB and wish you all the best as you seek further "nice" profits elsewhere. For myself and Mrs M I have a feeling that profits are going to be rather "nicer" between now and 2024 and not only for CINE. ATB to ALTHs

Many thanks Th....looking forward to the weekend for the explanation. Please make it simple so I can pass on to Mrs M.

"Substantial revenues from fewer customers often generate larger profits through economies of scale......"
ATB jd : just trying to say that substantial revenues from richer and more extensive customers could generate even larger profits.....but I think we agree on the direction of travel for ITX. Never been an FD but do understand that when EBIT2 and SP2 are larger than EBIT1 and SP1 I can make Mrs M happy. Looking forward to taking a bit of profit this time next year - but might have to be earlier since the BBC declare the end of the world is at hand! GLALTHs

Interesting comment jdz: VLTH and still here precisely because new orders and new markets are coming in. Indeed, have sold elsewhere in order to top up ITX because two other holdings showed absolutely no increase in market, revenue, orders and therefore not a great expectation of an SP increase between now and 2025. And as a LTH I find it best not to react to a price change between 0801 o'clock hours and half past four: bit of a Buffet man meself so keep news coming Th - makes for interesting reading. ATB

Can't help I'm afraid opu. Been a holder since I were a lad and just popped to the BB for a rare visit in hope of some insight or development: in absence of either will continue to hold, take profit in due course, get back in, take profit again, all based on vagaries of the seemingly random movements of the SP and with little regard to economic orthodoxy. You have to agree the strategy has been pretty consistently inconsistent over the last 10+years (or is it 20+ now).
Very inscrutable, as befits such an enterprise! ATB to ALTHs.

Morning Woody. Thanks for the most sensible piece I have read in a long time. Very sound analysis. ATB

Mrs M is a very simple person who asks pertinent questions: eg Monty, you paid this Co £1.75 so that they could run a test; the SP went from 223p to near f/a because the Co f/ed up but you have no explanation as to why, who, where or what from the people who are paid to do the job; and you now tell me it is exciting because they are going to pay someone lots of our money to write about why it all went t**s up: please could I have my housekeeping money now for next month and please can I have back my £1.75 per share now which was a loan until the SP went to £5 per share like you said that clever broker man said: so he doesn't seem to know much about it either. I would be embarrassed if it was me.
Oh, go back into the kitchen my drear....leave it to us chaps who understand these things.....................

Gosh; trust you didn't fall for it Thomas. That was the year of the General Election in India I recall and John Thomas won Love Island: in 2005 Barclays were c£5. As JMK said: "Bygones are bygones". Do you work for the BBC? "We are doomed; life will be solitary, poore, nasty, brutish and short". On the other hand.......by 2023...........bids could be 4p - a nice increase on 1.95p and with a fund raise and shrewd use of funds then by 2024 it could be 5p. Mrs M very satisfied with progress. ATB and GLALTHs Off for aperitif and to enjoy climate change i.e what we used to call summertime.

Didn't buy today Bz : been promised 1.95 again soon by Girdsy et al but it just doesn't seem to happen. Beginning to lose patience. Mrs M frustrated too but that's not unusual. ATB

Hmmm: but 3x what it was 12/20! As Mrs M appreciates this is not one for a quick in and out. GLALTHs

And again, Nom: a very interesting read. I will continue to follow and attempt to persuade Mrs M that a further top-up is in order.

Many thanks nom: and also for your consideration. I do get very weary after one page but will get Mrs M to finish the article and explain the difficult bits! ATB

Oh no; still not 1.95 as promised by the cognoscenti: Mrs M disappointed again.
