I only deal in shares which will provide a return sometime, I have shares which I've kept for 15 years, bought for 50p today 532p JIM also pay a 5% divi, SP up and down but always a steady divi. Bought more at £3.30 last year now worth £40k or Tristel TSTL doubled up on that from a year ago up £11.5k in just a year. Do good research and load up. I made mistakes, believing rampers on bulletin boards back in 2000 and buying all sorts of stories but gained a lot of experience now I can spot a loser a mile away. I don't accept that DGB will pay back medium term with this management, it may stop losing so much money but I need to see some evidence before I put money in. Institutions have bought the same story as PI's, made the mistake of not cutting their losses and bought into further fundraisings. As it drags on it seems to me that they don't want to put up any more, if they own 80% maybe we'll see new management, maybe a fire sale of their shares and a take over. 18 months ago I sold all my "losers", took out a subscription to Stockopedia and started listening to circle of investors who invest in companies where everyone wins, rather than only the cheats, liars and con-men. More importantly I learned how to see shares which were undervalued, which were over valued and which were valueless rubbish. Up to you mate but it takes two to make a market and I will keep posting the bear case to counter some of the wild bull that I read. In the long run it won't make any difference to the company, what will be will be. It will help, however, to keep the discussion honest. Good luck.

An amusing thought to compare DGB with Amazon. I did try but most measurements are about earnings and cashflow and DGB doesn't even get in the ballpark. I'm sure you were illustrating how bullish the market is. Even so better fish to fry than DGB without having to wait months or IMHO another couple of years. There are many hefty gains in technology shares over the past year or two and even my boring income portfolio is showing a healthy profit not including divi. No need to take risks with a serial loser which needs a bigger fool to sell to at a profit. As you say we will see who is right, I imagine the institutions will come out unscathed, they usually do it's not their money.

Persimmon, you couldn't sound more patronising if you tried. You talk as if they were making lots of operating profit but investing it. They aren't. As stated in the last year end RNS Brimteck acquisition was financed by placing shares. They have made other placings as shown below over the years to cover acquisitions and losses but not once made an operating profit. year end 31/03/16 Revenue 21.1 M Cost of sales -10.6 ____ gross profit 10.5 Admin expenses -17.5 other expense -1.72 _____ Net profit -8.72M Previous years 2015-18.9M 2014-15.1M 2013-10.7M 2012-3.90M 2011-4.61M total operating loss -£61M Total of above losses total investing -43.47M Total investing spend total financing 114M Total from sale of new shares So please don't tell me fairy tales, feel free to give your take on the last six years lack of performance. It's going to take all your professional promotional skills to dress this up.

That's nonsense, are we expected to believe that no-one is going to compete, no one like Google or Amazon or one of the big computer companies like HP or IBM. As the likes of HP/IBM see revenue from legacy customers migrate to cloud providers, they will either compete or go under. There are small margins on the hardware in the server farms and the operating system software is open source Apache Hadoop so how do they make a living in the future. Won't just let Wandisco steal their lunch. I am positive on Wand but I feel it is being hyped to silly levels like £10, £30.

You don't have to be an accountant to read their financial state. Go up the page to fundamentals and everything has brackets meaning negative. They've never made a profit. Re me shorting, I believe if a share is suspended you lose your money, not sure.. But I am sure about Persimmon being paid for pumping this up, he's only ever posted on here and he's certainly not here to make money. He judges me by his standards.

Haven't you noticed, they are losing money on just about every job. They had only £3 million left at the half year end last year. Sure looks like a fundraising following on from their "investor presentation" oh and by the way the final results were 27 june last year where are they? This is beginning to smell, management couldn't run a bath.

Although I have enough I could be persuaded if anyone wants to sell.

Quarterly divi of 6.5p = say 26p for a year approx. SP =£500 , yield = 5.2% Reinvestment programme buys more shares. Just leave it to grow.

Tried to buy a top up yesterday. Could only get 150 on-line. Noticed a £200k delayed buy from 1st Aug. Are MM's now short of stock.

Jarvis certainly a keeper for me unless the story changes. 4.51% forecast for 2018 on Stockopedia. As the price has increased the divi has also increased so the yield staying up at a good level. Virtuous circle. I cashed an ISA last year paying effectively negative rate after inflation ( what the gov want to reduce real value of debt). Put the lot in JIM, wish I'd opened a shares ISA last year and bought in the ISA as I've had a good year and used up my CGT relief on TSTL plus this years ISA allowance. I'll have to go back and offset losses against CGT.

You lied CC Read the above " Important Message from the Financial Conduct Authority " , your posts seem like market abuse to me.

Just a brilliant company. Love it. The gift that keeps on giving.

As far as I'm aware, it's advantage is in the delivery methods which are patented and seem to be the most effective methods for the manual application of the ClO2 disinfectant which is the best for safety in manual use. This line from an article I found implies they are busy developing but on what is probably confidential. "Next, keep the new product development pipeline full to the brim. Finally, innovate with packaging and delivery to create the IP protection to keep chlorine dioxide imitators at bay."

Thruvis wouldn't have detected a rucsack bomb.

Probable trading update, anything material has to be announced asap so not expecting major news. Happy with progress and it seems so is everyone else. Hospitals seem to like Tristel along with other users, googled it at the weekend and found sprays at around £50 a pop on a tattoing website. Cheap to avoid being sued. Watched a prog on iplayer about superbugs too, Jesus some nasty stuff out there and a shortage of new antibiotics.

Revenue up 25%, costs up 7%. Divi up, now 6p for the quarter. "The Board forecasts that pre-tax profit for the year ended 2017 will be significantly above current market expectations."

Err no, divi was 4.84 plus special divi of 4p. Won't see that again I'm sure. Divis seem very erratic now.
