are you two in from 19 or 3?

hope they do better for you than they have me! been a dog of a share since the day i bought! realistically they will have to go to the back of my drawer until 2012

think its a bit late for that! if you want one thats concentrating on the 2012 olympics then look at OTE. set up with the olympics in mind. there shares are low as well!

excuse my ignorance, but why are people still buying these shares today? from the company rns's it appears a foregone conclusion that they will be getting delisted so is buyingjust for capital gains loss purposes? a delisted share would be no good for your man on the street or am i missing something?

i hated selling my holding, especially as in the back of my mind i felt that the potential is there for them to reach previous highs. However, I really couldnt have lived with myself if i had lost the profit i made as it was quite substantial in the end. I felt that selling gave me several opportunities to invest in other undervalued shares.

I sold at £1.90 having bought at circa 20p. Funny share really. Was getting lots of bad press regarding the law suit and it then decided to put on a rally of over a pound. Its all the directors selling recently that i dont like

im wondering if there is some stake building beginning here. we have a constant stream of sells day after day, and yet the sp seems to have largely leveled out. hope so anyway!

Anyone have any thoughts on the massive delayed buy from yesterday? The mm's must have alot of shares kicking around for them to fill this order and still keep the sp down

looks like the directors exercising and then selling their options was quite a shrewd move. i wonder if mr hogg really wanted to retire or did he see the storm clouds gathering on the horizon?

looks like these are one of the tuck away for a couple of years shares? i would have thought with the olympics infrastructure etc coming up then these would start to benefit?

missed the word "emerged" out between the two articles.

all of which helped boost the share price of Western Coal. By the second week of December 2007, the share price was $1.26. By then, Western Coal had raised $40-million via the sale of a three-year 8.5% convertible debenture. During the period Nov. 15, 2007 to Nov. 22, 2007, the statement of claim said that "insiders of the company purchased 111,000 shares of Western Coal" with the last purchase being made the day before the announcement of the financing. According to the statement, "the defendants knew at the time of the Nov. 14, 2007 announcements that Western Coal would obtain the financing from Audley, or that it was likely to obtain the financing from Audley and that the financing would allow Western Coal to meet its financing obligations." The statement alleges that "the insiders profited from the misrepresentations by purchasing shares at artificially depressed prices following the Nov. 14 announcement, with the knowledge that the company would receive the financing and that the share price of Western Coal would increase as a result, before such financing was generally disclosed." The statement said one director bought 61,000 shares over the class period; another bought 10,000; while the chief executive bought 40,000 shares.

Kim Orr has filed a class-action suit against Western Coal Corp. and three of its insiders, the chief executive and two directors. The 22-page suit, which has not yet been certified, seeks $220-million in damages, of which $20-million is for punitive damages. Western Coal said it "believes these allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them as well as the plaintiff's attempt to obtain court approval to proceed with the action. "The suit covers Western Coal investors who bought or sold shares over the period Nov. 14, 2007 to Dec. 10, 2007. On the earlier date, Western Coal announced its second-quarter results and in the release said it did not expect to have sufficient funds in the near term to meet its financial obligations as they became due. "The Company will require additional capital from its major shareholder and external sources," said the release, adding it had been successful in raising additional capital in the past, "and management believes that these funds will be again available in the future." Those two pieces of news helped drive the share price down to 47¢ from $1.75 a share. One week later, Western Coal announced it had entered into a financing agreement with Audley European Opportunities Fund, an investment fund. At the time, Audley owned about 29% of Cambrian Mining, which in turn owned about 42% of Western Coal. Western Coal spoke of raising up to $40-million from Audley. Over the next two weeks more

i wonder if the 68 shares was a buy or a sell? this certainly gets some big deals going through! not!

i see someone likes them today! will put on my research list. thanks

When i initially purchased i was, after all the research i had done, intending to keep these for a couple of years with the intention of getting maybe £3 or £4 out of them. But having seen my holding go from around 20p to the 180s in just a few months, I just didn't want to risk giving back the gains if things turn nasty. I felt although they still may double or treble, there are still quite alot of opportunities out there to find the next share which will do similar things ie go from 10p to £1. So selling up has basically given my a few more bites of the cherry. As said, I will still be keeping a close eye on these. Top of my current 10p to a £1 possibilities is BTC, which I have recently given a thorough write up on the riddlers technicals page for those interested. The thing I particularly like about those is that there is just 57million shares in circulation, so when demand builds it should move quite a bit. Good luck

i bought into these and cambrian when they were both between 20p - 30p earlier in the year. i watched them get towards £2 and was still feeling bullish about them. I posted early in october that i was a little concerned that some of the key directors had been cashing in shares and options, and they couldn't get past the resistance shown in the £1.90s. I decided to cash in at £1.88. I am surprised that they have continued to fall, but am still a little alarmed that they are going against the wider tsx market and not following the indexes gains as a whole. I also did not like the fact that boss hogg has stepped down so early into the recovery process. For me it is currently a watching process and not a strong buy at this time in my opinion. May not happen, but i have an inkling that we may see sub £1 again in the not too distant future especially if some of the once thought of golden eggs are not so golden after all. With such a meteoric rise there is bound to be mishaps along the way. Good luck

I do not have shares in any bookmakers and don't intend to, but thought I would share an observation with those that do. I occasionally do a football coupon and did so this saturday. The thing which surprised me was that I went into the ladbrokes shop at 2.30 saturday afternoon, and there was one person in the whole shop! Whenever I have been there in the past it is usally packed in there, being a popular location. If this is representative of the others I would be slightly alarmed. Not sure how much the shops contribute to the groups profits, so would be interested to hear comments.

whats the big deals at 8.88p i wonder? really about time we had a bit of positivity with these after the funding issues were sorted out.

bit frustrating that these are still edging lower. they got inflated a little too quickly last week by the in and outers, but hopefully a little patience wont prove too costly. as far as i can see there is a lot of potential here.
