I have to admit though I had that sinking feeling over the past few weeks, but because Ive stuck with them this long and always topped up on the lows its certinalyworth a punt for me. Still belive they will pull it off, i'm sure a big invester will jump in at this price and AFD raise the capital they need. If higher grade diamonds are discoved who knows where this will go!

Looks like we are going through a stagment stage at the moment. Every thing I read expects prices to remain steady over the next few months or fall slightly. Prices still remain at a 30% less than 2008. Long term all pointing towards a big increase. AFD have timed it right, i'm still buying with expectations to hold for a year or two.

Although the recent offer is an improvement on the 62.5p mark, i'm still holding out! I expect Infinis to continue increasing their offer until we get back to the 80-90p target. Would like to see which investers drop out now and take a small profit. Novera continue to grow and if the offer had been made 12 months later, further wind farms would have granted planning and further turbines installed. In my opinion If Infinis pull this off, they get a great buy! expect to see a further 10% gain on current price. DYOR.

by Cashbox in the first quarter of this current year will stipulate the partial deployment of FTU ATMs and the management expects this trend to continue. The partnership with BT Openzone, their only ATM initiative, enables Cashbox to offer its partners the chance to provide Broadband access at their sites, increasing the pull of the site as a destination, as well as potentially increasing customer time spent onsite. A number of cashbox clients are currently in discussions to trial this offering, which is part of a strategic drive to leverage the geographic presence of the ATMs. The Company will continue with its strategy of containing costs whilst seeking to churn existing sites to maximise ATM return. Due to the rapid fulfillment of the high site volume contracts won at the end of last financial year, the company has delivered breakeven EBITDA in the first quarter of the 2009/2010 financial year. With the number of other ATM and WiFi contracts under discussion, including trials currently running within two national high street brands, the Directors are confident that the significant improvements in financial performance will continue during the current year.
capital funding to purchase new ATMs would be utilised in 2009. This churning of sites has also had the effect of increasing average transactions per site, and reduced the reactive workload of the in-house Support Services team and Field Engineers; enabling them to focus upon ensuring the provision of outstanding service to the Company's most lucrative partners. The challenging economic conditions have increased the demand from customers to roll out FTU ATMs, as part of their own value offering to their customers. Having a stock of ATMs with which to conduct trials enabled the Company to fully test this new sector. Every FTU trial to date has successfully evolved into a full rollout of the FTU offering. Over 7% of the Company's installed ATM base is now operating on a free to use basis. A FTU ATM is free to use for the ATM customer. However, Cashbox collects a small charge per transaction, a Bank Interchange fee, from the ATM user's bank, and not the actual ATM user. Thus so long as transaction volumes are sufficiently high FTU machines are equally profitable to Cashbox as surcharging ATMs. FTU ATMs tend to enjoy higher transaction volumes, as there is no disincentive in the form of the surcharge to use the ATM. This also benefits the merchants who have FTU machines on their premises, as they cycle through far greater volumes of withdrawn cash, money that would normally attract a "cash-handling fee" when deposited at a bank. Many of the contracts announc
