Why doesn't the header reflect that the company has announced a dividend for this year, this factor plays a big part in how some investors choose their portfolio. It should say something in the region of 3%. Is it because the company is listed on AIM? No flannel in here about being one of only a handful of AIM listed stocks paying a dividend either. I'm flabbergasted how hard this share finds it to reflect true value. How hum, I'm in here so I'm not too bothered really

Make your mind up, first you've bought 400k and then you haven't ;-)

Good to see you both alive and hopefully well. Norseman's had issues in the past, shareprice has been a fair bit lower than this too (less than 2p) as recently as 2009. I've not peaked too much in to this but might have a look at it now. What's worrying is that gold is in such demand yet the company is struggling to survive when the commodity is at an all time high. $1600/oz costs are huge and that would make mining unprofitable in all but the last year or so. As I say, I've not really been in the game recently but this does look like an opportunity if there's a reason why the costs are so high. Presumably the $1600/oz is Aus $ so roughly $1200US/oz. There's a little bit of profit there, providing they are realising a good price for their gold

They are my main client and have been making noises about cutting budgets. Stores are well stocked though and staff are their usual happy helpful selves. It would be a real shame to see them struggle, not just from a personal perspective, but I think the decision to offer the product in supermarkets has detracted from the premium appeal that it had for so long. PS, I'm invested here, have been since 2009 and have increased my holding all the way down. Looking forward to 5p which would see me in a nice amount of profit

:D

How would Marmite make their money if they didn't have the recipe for Marmite?

I might jump back in here, totally overblown IMO

Company's trading update for Q3 reads relatively well, except for handset sales which were 16% lower. Full presentation is here. Cash levels seems quite decent at £14m. T/O increased to £170m+ and profit margins look really strong. So what's driving it down? If product margins are good, how bad are the other operating expenses? Is there a high cash burn? Date: Friday 03 Dec 2010 LONDON (ShareCast) - E-learning group Promethean World is teaching its investors some harsh lessons about new issues with a second profit warning since its listing in March. Promethean World says order deferrals mean fourth quarter revenues will be lower than in the same period last year and full year results will be below market expectations. "The current slow down is primarily the consequence of a deferral of customer spending, rather than any alteration in customers' long-term intention to adopt interactive learning technology," the statement added. Promethean World flagged the problems in October when chief executive Jean-Yves Charlier cautioned, “It would not be surprising if such uncertainty continued in some regions, particularly in the United States, in the near-term.” Promethean World floated at 200p, but yesterday the shares were trading at below 78p.

Hello mate, long time no.... I think I held on to some here above a quid but only a couple of thousand shares! AAAAARGHHHHH!!!

Seems I wasn't the only one that was a bit too hasty. This remains my best performer at the time I sold it, so I shouldn't complain. I remember loads of folk saying 'put it in the drawer for 2 years' and copied that mantra on the boards on a regular basis but failed to heed my own advice! I seem to be continually chasing my tail and still haven't managed to break even on my investments overall. D'oh and double d'oh!!

Did the hard bit and bought these at 14p a couple of years ago. Silly boy sold out in chunk up to about £1.80 iirc. Would've made £65,000k had I bought and sold, a life changing sum for me (and most folk). Advice to newbies. If you've done your research and bought in to a decent long term company, stick with your feelings. Unfortunately I got in with a bad crowd and was advised my funds would be best placed elsewhere. I didn't think for a moment that the advice was for their benefit and not mine. D'oh Well done anyone who's been here since the bottom, seem to remember definitely Chan and possibly Collette or Wraith but can't remember.

To all investors trapped in here. I held these for some time in 2009 but sold out (can't remember if in profit or loss) as funds were needed to work harder elsewhere. Let's hope that there are not too many workers or small companies that are owed by the company. One corporation's inept trading shouldn't impact on anyone else. In Dubai you're jailed if you can't pay your debts, perhaps it's time that our government deployed similar tactics. My company has suffered a lot during this recession but I'd never dream of stitching up my suppliers.

Hi matey, Nearly back to where we started here, not sure whether I want to keep the faith or splurge what's left on an LED tv :D

http://www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=201007291440181814Q&fe=1 Finally showing signs of recovering

Will be in half an hour, just putting some discount vouchers in to envelopes to see if I can resurrect one or two dead quotes. Oh the joys of owning your own business ;o) Not in these at the moment. Sold at 30p last week or so but will be looking to re-enter at around 25-26p if I get a chance. Need cash ATM

Don't mean to pee on your bonfire but, it looks to me like they've decreased their holdings by 787783 shares. Says holdings prior to today's trigger was 8.4% and after 'trigger' is 7.98%.

I wondered if you thought that the chief ramper on LSE may have 20+ IDs, each ID having the task of ramping one particular share and who tend not to post on anything other than their designated share? I noticed a while back you praising a poster on a rise in the London Mining share price and it got me wondering if you had any opinion on ramping by multiple posts and gang posting? I wondered if you'd considered the share price since it's spike to 250p and consequent decline, coupled with a decline in posts on the LSE forum? I wondered if you had noticed a subtlety with other ramping brigades and posting styles of certain forum posters? I can't stand hypocrisy, I'm sure you feel the same. There's a risk that some naive posters on here are being duped and conned out of their investment funds, perish the thought that it's an orchestrated mission by a few very clever individuals.

www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=201002020700084909G&fe=1 Revenues look stable, cash balances stable, German commercial property prices stable. Let's hope that the banks takes this in to account before passing judgement
