Time to buy gain?
Along with aberdeen new thai

12100 in two lots, so cancel the toast

Could not resists so bought another 27500 shares now its toast and water for the rest of the month

Just looked in at the posts and as we thought you are all niggling at one another again, sign the SP has dropped, after a nice peaceful spell with very few posts. Noticed we are getting the "tomorrows" "next Week" promises again. If they come they will in their own good time, if of course they come at all.
Bit fed up at the MMs who continually have cancelled trades after trying to get people to either buy or sell.
If it goes any lower we may be tempted to add again. Has to be well below our average to get us buying more.
We will look at some of your posts next week to ascertain your mood.
Take care all

We note that at 11:28:58 they indicated the bid / offer price was identical when a 25000 trade was listed, indicating we were quoted correctly when we had that unusual quote we informed you about. Doubt if you would have been able to have exercised it to any worthwhile amount of stock.
Did have similar thing happen on a couple of occasions when actively trading options. Large companies where there is very little difference in the bid / offer do occasionally show a reverse price quote when you have ten or so dealers involved with a lot of deals going through and the bid is fractionally higher than the ask price.
We have all our other investments to look at and change if the time is right. Took a lot of profit from WKP this morning while retaining a nominal amount, so have cash to invest. Medical things call again and we hope to see friends in the waiting for God hotel later. hope to look at what you are saying later next week. take care all and hope that promised good news will appear soon.

8.8 to buy

NO offer to sell

from IW

We sold out of INTU 2 -3 yrs ago and we noticed a steep decline in the SP so have had a quick look to see if it was an opportunity to buy. Reading your comments makes it clear to stay away at the moment without further investigation.
They appear to be struggling to pay the cost of the loans and may have to sell property to cover the cost. If this is the case we all know you cannot live with huge loans as many have found out in the past especially when income from the investments may drop by 30%. We will look to see if there is any current NAV, which we doubt has been publishised.
We will look again when the price is 10p. Property and property linked stocks is one thing we have always made money on. How this company has got to its present position is mind blowing. Property is low at the moment and worth buying in to soon but NOT INTU.
We have an investment in FFWD where the shares are 8.5p with a declared NAV of 13p which may in fact be 22p in the next accounts. makes us wonder why we should buy in to INTU with little or no future and doubtful value.
We have large investments in German property which are at least steady with small increases in their SP and we will be looking at other UK property.
If you own stock here the best of luck.

Rich, your comments saying that 1000 posts have have been left regards "Good news tomorrow" we think you are about 237 short in your estimate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least when people say it will rain tomorrow they do have a 1 in 3 chance of being correct.

Re you comment sa

Just back and curious to see what the bid / offer was in reality. Quoted 8p sell 8.15p buy

Perfectly correct Rich, especially about dwelling on it

Just looked in to see if anything has occurred and am pleased to see we have cash instead of dreary going nowhere stock. Put the cash to one side for the time being and do not rush in to anything to soon. Overall a good disposal even at a loss.

Just a bit of harmless humour, that came to mind that hurts no one. Oh and we do not drink anymore so it must be the morphine.
You are all getting a bit itchy for some real information we sense, where as at this point some will start to questioning whether these things will actually come about that you all keep indicating will make us a massive profit. So those who question it will start to sell off when they have made a little profit or are at their break even point and happy to get their money back. From now on there will be a lot of three steps forward two back with those selling off when in profit or around break even, giving buying opportunities to those who wish to add to their holding. Plus once it gets to the 16p - 20p point you will get those who have doubled their money selling half so they have a free ride with their other half of FFWD shares they hold. So many variations to a theme. Interested to know how many will hold hold and hold until FFWD has maximised their value and have nowhere else to go. A few more sales gentlemen please then WE may be able to buy a few more to reduce our average even more in a weeks time, as it is doubtful if we will ever be able to buy any more below our average cost of buying.
Keep the faith

Perhaps they should use something called FACTOM we have heard so much about somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RTNs comments we agree with. It always has been looking after the Boys. Any one kicked off any board in disgrace waits 3 months then has another appointment miraculously comes along. Especially those who are ex OXCAM. Very ordinary folk or lateral thinkers rarely get a look in. That's life and you have to accept it at the moment.
As for the SP, think it will stick around this range for the time being until more official new news arrives. Any fall back to under 8p and just above will be quickly snapped up. As good new news arrives the SP will be about 66% of the NAV. If it goes a lot higher, then the clever ones will sell some of their stock and be able to buy it back cheaper later. As happened when it touched 13p a few months ago.
These figures seem to occur with any AIM and small company where there are few trades, making the SP fluctuate a lot.
We have run out of pennies at the moment so until more arrive we just have to watch the SP and trades. If it drops we will have to hope we get some pennies before it recovers, if not and it goes up, then we are making more money so it will be a win win situation for us.
We would imagine that most long term holders have averaged themselves down to the 8p mark or at least just under 9p by now.
Day off to day then back to the docs and hospitals again, certainly had our money's worth with the NHS, from the 12 shillings and 6 pence national insurance we paid each week for years.
Take care all

So much for modern technology with them showing all the buys as sells. Will they ever get it right? instead of just using the middle price. asa buy or sell.
Ah well of for a bit may you all have a happy and prosperous new year.

Managed to scrape a few pennies together to buy another 1600 @ 7.75p that will be the last for a bit as we need to eat

Nothing wrong with a bit of dreaming, in time to come it may eventually materialise. Our hope is it reaches 39-41p offer bid range after some IPOs etc. However we think the 20-23p range is a more likely outcome as these stocks are usually traded at a 10 -20% discount. Once everything has reached it potential then the they could sell all the holdings to get the full benefit and close the trust down.
As for a distribution of income (dividend) in any form is not our preferred option, looking for another young company to invest in would be our preference, so long it had been well researched. These directors have certainly made some top class investments to date (as well as putting their pennies in to them as well) and our only hope is they only invest in a company worthy of our money.
By the way when people have a go at us for whatever silly reason we do not mind as it means they are not having a go at others who may in fact get very upset by their words.
You may notice that we usually remember to click on strong buy as our opinion, which some of you never do.

Sorry but we meant to mention a few days ago that we have remembered the father of one of the contributors on here who is sick in our prayers and hope he will fully recover.

Why on earth do you say we are not holders, you are rather silly. How can you claim to know what we hold in our portfolio. For your information FFWD has an exceptional high percentage of our portfolio (far higher than we like) . For your information we hold our FFWD stock through two of our brokers at the moment ADM and IW.
We have been very very strong supporters of the stock and the directors, who a number of you have criticised at time for lack of information. Yes we have had the odd wobble in our faith for FFWD, but only momentarily.
As we approach 80 years of age, we may even have posible been dealing longer than some of you have been alive.
We are also both disabled, having to spend a lot of time traveling to and from hospital, which is a 5-6 hours return journey. So why would we waste our valuable time writing about a small Investment trust if we did not have an interest in it.
We have always said we are not as knowledgeable as some of you and congratulated you on the work done by you in researching the stock. This research you have published is why we have such a large % of our portfolio in FFWD.
We have always tried to calm some of you down when insulting each other when we bother to read what is written on here these days. Would some you criticise and run down people on here if you actually were talking to them in public? I doubt it very much as you hide behind this platform.
Our few hundred thousand shares may be very small holding compared to some of you, but we are still entitled to comment on FFWD.
We all trade differently but so long as it increase the value of your portfolio then you are doing it right.
Over the last year or so we have tried to bring a bit of lightheartedness and calm to the posts on here and privately thought some of you have an obsession with FFWD, but you are entitled to that if you are that tied up in it.
We do not read all the posts and go 5-6 days before looking at what is written just on the day we look, but watch the price and trades carefully each day when we are able to.
We actually do not care what anonymous people think of us and what they speculate about us if that is all they have to fill their sad day.
So with the new year approaching we wish you all well and contented in the new year.
