This special dividend you refer to, what do you think it would be worth, if it ever comes about?
Will it be enough for us to update our 2015 Skoda Roomster we bought new?

FFWD dropping back towards our break even. We did say we would not add any more shares that cost more than our average, BUT as it is getting close to our average and it does look cheap, there will be a full family conference in the board room to discuss if we should add to our holding tomorrow morning if it stays at the present price.
Actually the discussion will be when I have washed up and sorted the bosses morphine patches out and we have gone and sat at the table in the breakfast room before watching more of Oak Island we had on while having our dinner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Late getting back tonight after visiting the "Waiting for God" hotel where a lot of our mature friend live in.

FFWD is just listed among our other Investment Trusts, as that is what it is. You may call it a fund or what ever you like but it is an I.T.
We actually initially made the mistake of listing Work space as an investment trust rather than a property fund. One of our better investments at £7 - £8 earlier this year. They trade properties when the price is right while renting out temporary office space etc for firms.
As the new year approaches think twice about running down or criticising other people who leave posts. We get the feeling that some of you think that you are the only one that is right. Every one has something to contribute which may have a baring on the share. By listening to others you learn. If you cannot say something nice, say nothing at all.
As for new year resolutions, we made one many many years ago that we have kept. It was never to make another new year resolution.
Ah well Church calls May God bless you all and keep you all healthy in the forth coming year..

There was no panic (well not from us), just people fiddling the books is our guess, after all it is AIM and not policed so well.
Some onemay have got a 7.8p bargain today. MMs may also have tried to attract sales if they are short of stock. We will never kn ow the real reason for last nights close, Long time traders like ourselves just brush it off as just one of those things again.
Will look in next year to see if you are all still having a go at each other, goodness knows what any new to the site thinks, perhaps like us they just have a good laugh at the antics.

The price you get after hours is usually worse than the closing price with most / all stocks. so we should see sensible quotes in the morning.

This is used when the bid and ask are identical at the close was our understanding then it goes to auction.
They are quoting the current price as 7.5p to 8p with the closing price 7.24, what a joke, some one is playing the violin.
Short trading times to morrow so beware of the violins!!!!!!

Thought after hours trades could not be included in closing price?

Quoting 7.5 to 8p at closing

Some one is playing naughty to recover spread bet losses? or make money
They clearly do not put the ask below 8p therefore quoting a massive spread.
If sell is 7.24 we should be able to buy at 7.54 in the morning.
Just try and buy first thing and they will quote 8p+ at a guess

And their link to us is? We make no apologies for forgetting.
We may live longer via Juvenescence but will we still forget what we were about to do for longer as well.
Just remembered why we did not post this immediately, it was to correct the "THERE" spelling
Will living longer still give us the disabilities and pain we are in for longer also ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still there is the cannabis to help us soon !!!!!!!!!!!!! but cannot remember what we wanted the cannabis for.

We would be happy to see the SP selling price consolidate at the 7.25p to 7.5p price range for the next 2-3 weeks or until the good news arrives, and not have a few large sales that put it in to a steep reverse. We did not expect this sudden upsurge in buying just before Christmas, especially with no RNS. Perhaps there are a lot of buyers waiting to see just how low it would go before buying again and once it started an upward movement with the lack of sales, they began to jump on the train so as not to miss out. We may even get some more on Monday and Tuesday which would be very good. We have more or less stopped buying unless it does drops again to the offer price of 6p.

It is criminal to be honest to see so many people suffering in the world, especially when there are others with so much money.

We are NOT lefties but feel that so many do not care a hoot so long as they get their 4 holidays a year, buy a new posh car yearly, spend small fortunes on eating out. The cost of one of these meals would feed some for two weeks. Footballers ( and we love the game) and directors of large clubs getting so much money, for what. It would not take a lot for those with it to pay more in taxes etc. to help those who cannot help themselves.

Your reward will be in heaven

We have always had faith, but probably like most of you did wonder at times if anyone would buy FFWD to push the price up.
AT LAST we did it right with 3 buys at under and slightly above 6p a couple of days ago, as we did have faith. However we did question whether we were correct in buying, questioning our mentality. Hopefully we did the right thing.
Years ago we made a lot of money buying Perpetual I & G warreats at 10p with the stock at 110p and 10 years for the warrants to run before expiry giving us the right to buy the stock at £1. That seemed a massive bargain at the time, which it turned out to be with the stock reaching around £2 when we sold the warrants around 110p. We actually had the warrants in paper form and had to use a massive box to send them to the broker.
The point being FFWD is a stock which can make us a lot of money again (probably our last chance) by buying it cheap (5.7 to 6.9). No doubt there will be drops in the SP on the way up, but if there are 3 IPOs or asset sales we could be looking at 55p a share eventually.
We were just going to make a small profit on our holdings at the end of this year, allowing for FFWD to be around 6p but any upside could see us making our normal 10 -15% or more this year.
All thanks (well nearly all) to the research some of you undertook. Without your information we would have been buying at 5 - 7p to level out. With your information we bought 4-5 times the amount we would have done. So thank you very much.
Wish you would all stop niggling at each other, but guess you will start to pat each others back now and let bygone be bygones .
Not quite sure why the sudden upturn with no news that was not already available (was it that interview confirming the NAV is about 21p)
The MMs have let the price rise this time, so do they know that there are no more (or very little) of that bulk disposal left?
On that point we did wonder had someone died with that large holding going to relatives and they knew nothing about the stock and just wanted to sell it and split the money between themselves as per the will. A very good doctor friend of ours has just died and his relatives are selling off all his assets. So we just wondered.
Lets hope the SP remains stable and you have all have covered your investments or there about as a Christmas present.

Should have made it clear, SOLD CALLS BOUGHT PUTS. SOLD THEIR STOCK

Before the good news is made public.

Surprised people are dealing in options on AIM stocks, thought that very dodgy. We dealt in options in the main market and that was nerve racking at times. But of course some one could have sold longs and bought shorts while holding FFWD and keeped selling their stock to make good gains on their options with the FFWD SP going down. Dodgy if the good news strikes, UNLESS they know when the good news will strike and will close their options out and buy back the shares cheaply.

Looks like we were correct unfortunately. They must have known about those large sales on the horizon.
Who on earth is selling at 5.75p.
WHY though is the real question.
Either they know something we do not and the fund has got it wrong and there is not the NAV we think (but doubt that) or they are desperate for ready cash. Is it just one holder doing all the selling?
Perhaps they need to show some losses to offset other profits for tax reasons.
Would love to know.

Not much of a price rise to buy, perhaps the MMs know there are a lot more large sell orders in the pipeline and they want to buy them for under 6p.

Think Rich it means 10 bob in proper money or 50p in current uk currency.

We do not disagree or agree with you, as there are discussions for both. But why so long before reversing it. One thing they are trying to do something.
