Even less shares available now

I'm in largely due to MXCP, we shall wait and see !

Yes I see the major shareholders have well over half the company Bill Dobbie likes to keep himself busy looking at the companies he's currently linked with

Another large buy/sell at mid this morning?

Plenty of interest again this morning (including myself) ! Kestrel are here with a 20.6% stake, reminiscent of CTP in the early days

I was in Cupid but as you'll see from my post in May I wasn't there long, rumour has it that profiles were being produced by employees to encourage further memberships and get the numbers up. It was a "red flag" and me out at that point with a small profit at least. Now we have Kestrel and MXCP mentioned in the same breathe here, ring any bells? I'm sure it does! Cash in the bank and not many shares in issue, this looks a very exciting prospect as has already been posted, unfortunately I didn't have the funds available last month to get in here but will be looking for an entry tomorrow. I was at Waterloo the last 5 days so have a little catching up to do !

Blimey this has attracted some attention since my last posts here, hope you haven't sold out Spottedlurcher, things are about to change

Always got my eye on the MCAP, is MXCP worth £100m? You bet your bottom dollar it is !

All going swimmingly so far, I'm watching PINN for developments there presently, MXCP have spotted an opportunity to invest following the tie up with O2 no doubt, also the links with Microsoft and McAfee!

Ticking up nicely, further acquisitions must be close now

Well spotted, do I put my hat on it though?

Those "identified opportunities" may be coming sooner than we think then !

A few tidy buys this morning I notice, but late getting reported

Welcome to PINN, just waiting for KUMS to get his wallet out now !

Got mine to, just wish it had been for the full amount Also will not be selling !

Well said, patience is the key I'm also hoping Pinnacle technology will be joining the club this year also

This should follow on here now after the rise today, apart from anything else

Beer sales are continuing to grow year on year, with sales at the end of quarter one rising 1.5 per cent over the past 12 months, it has been announced today. The figures are reported in the latest ‘Beer Barometer’ from the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA). This continued growth follows nine consecutive years of decline, which saw beer sales slide by an astonishing 24 per cent – 6.7 million fewer pints sold, per day. The BBPA says that huge tax rises were the major culprit, with a devastating beer duty hike of 42 per cent from 2008 to 2013, under the disastrous beer tax ‘escalator’ policy. This sent the duty (plus the VAT on the duty) from 38p, to 56p on a pint at the average strength. The period saw 7,000 pubs close, with 58,000 jobs lost. BBPA Chief Executive Brigid Simmonds says the figures highlighted the need for continuity from The Treasury in its tax policy for beer, which has seen a historic hat trick of beer duty cuts that have hugely helped to stabilise the sector and safeguard the future of many of Britain’s pubs. BBPA Chief Executive Brigid Simmonds comments: "The figures are encouraging but the market is still fragile as the industry continues to recover from the damaging beer duty escalator and beer duty rates remain among the highest in the EU. “That is why we need the right policies so we can continue to boost jobs and create investment in an industry that employs 900,000 people and is worth £22 billion to our economy.”
