The rise may be related to the BUY recommendation in today's Investors Chronicle.

I'd be grateful if you could expnd on what that signals, why etc.

It's just the routine quarterly Red Flag report.

I have been following this share since flotation. What bothers me is this. Why would a hikder sell a share with a PE ratio of less than two and free cashflow of two-thirds of the current market price?

Chequemate - Accounts Demystified by Anthony Rice is a good starter book.

Thanks, Velo. That tends to confirm my concerns about investing in this otherwise very interesting company.

Thanks. I see now.

Does anyone know why with such excellent free cash flow this company does not pay dividends?

I didn't mean to sow pessimism, just to answer the specific question. IC made XLM a main tip on 28th August 2014 at 63p, and confirmed that advice on 23rd September 2014 at 56p.

It was on 25th September. It was not about XLM, nor was XLM mentioned in the article.Surely XLM is a marketing company ratehr than an online gaming company?

And the CEO gets 109,000 shares at nil cost!

I found today's presentation both reassuring and encouraging. It seems reasonably clear that the £80m top line figure is unlikely to be reached, but ·£8m profit is still the 2014 objective. Of course, the price will suffer if that is not achieved, but only a seriously lower figure would be worrying imho. I think the company is well managed and likely to prosper. I will continue to hold and to consider adding on dips.

I see nothing to indicate future growth, much less where that growth is coming from. I sold my holding today as it hit my stoploss.

Results due on Friday 29th August.

Tipped by Small Company Sharewatch on Saturday. I have been looking at this for a while. It seems to be a well managed company with a clear and good business plan. What still makes me hesitate about buying is the fact that the family still control the company 55% - not necessarily a bad thing, but of concern. Of the remaining 45% almost 42% is held by a handful of institutions. The free float for private investors is only just over 3%. So unless an institutional investor sells, which might be something of a warning sign, the real market in these shares may be illiquid.

Sorry. I hadn't read the RNS. But the outlook for bananas is pretty bleak anyway

That is so, but I do not think that that would mean that the present conflict would have any bearing on the share price.

It is originally an Israeli company but its headquarters are in Jersey and it has one branch office, in Cyprus. See their website: http://www.xlmedia.com/contact-us
