Member Info for sheffieldowls

Thank you Jeff for your kind offer I often wonder why us Wednesdayites are such decent people!!!!!!!!!!LOL. I am currently in the USA and just like Deanowls I spent two hundred pounds at the shop using my SWFC credit card when I attended the games against Wolves and Barnsley. I really love the new blue beach towel so much so that I purchased four of them!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to go off topic folks but as Jeff says us Owls must stick together!!!!!!!

Sorry for the delay in replying but yesterday was spent travelling to Florida I agree with your comment re being safe if we can get three points on saturday or from any of our last three games in fact. I have a slightly uneasy feeling being at my girlfriend's house as it was while staying here almost one year ago that I saw an E mail from my stockbroker telling me of the first profit warning and the collapse in the price of my Lamprell shares. Chimpchoker its ages since we have heard from you on this board what may I ask is your contact at Lamprell telling you about future prospects for the company?

As far as I am aware any shareholder can attend the AGM of any company you own shares in however you may need to investigate further in terms of identification of ownership if your shares are held in a nominee account as mine are in my ISA. Lets hope for a win on saturday my friend sadly I will not be there as I fly back to the USA tomorrow.

Thank you for this information and I agree that some sanction should be brought against the appropriate directors of the company who were running the business last year. However as bonum says there has been changes made at the top so hopefully the company is now back on track for profit growth in the long term. It would be appreciated however if the current directors would show some faith in the company and buy some shares.

I well remember posting on this board in response to the director share sales in early May 2012 I wonder what they know that we dont know it would appear that they knew quite a lot but yet again perhaps not when you consider that after the investigation the fines were directed at the long term owners of the company such as myself with my stake in Lamprell of between 0.4 and 0.5%. You could not make it up as nobody would believe this would be the outcome. How could the investigation not take the view that this was a case of insider trading I and I am sure many others of you who post on this board must surely wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My choice of football team is even more peverse when you consider I have never lived in Sheffield and was born and bred no more than five miles from the theatre of dreams as they refer to their ground ie Old Trafford Manchester.1BigRob you make a fair point but it seems to me that several posters on this board have a good idea that further contract wins will be announced in the near future. I would like to see some director buys especially taking into account some well timed sales in early May last year!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you being prepared to share that information with myself and the rest of the board. I myself have been investing in shares for close to forty five years ie since I was a teenager. I no longer seek to save any more money as what is the point at sixty years of age!!!!!!!! I am more concerned about not forgetting something important such as my passport when I return to Florida on thursday!!!!!!!!!!LOL.

There can be no doubt in my mind that you are the most respected and informative poster on this board with that having being said please can I ask you a little about your background as you IMHO have more knowledge than any other poster on this board especially with regard to economic issues.

I am wondering if anybody on this board has had a punt with Iofina? Its up around 15% since I first mentioned it a week or two ago.

Thank you for that information. I was interested to note that you are friends with fellow Wednesdayite Deanowls. I guess you must work together in the Middle East. I am pleased to note that my tip of Iofina is doing well in case anybody from this board has today made a purchase of shares in that company.

Now and again we mention other shares on this board so I am going to mention that you have a look at Iofina which has been my best investment by far in recent years as I purchased one hundred and fifty thousand shares three or four years ago at around 25p a share. As always DYOR but it could be worth a punt IMHO. I am not ramping by the way as I know longer have ay spare cash to invest because of my six months spent each year in Florida chasing younger American women!!!!!!!!LOL.

It is my view that several of the posters on this board have a better knowledge of the company than we do and I believe that they are fairly certain the new contracts will be announced soon so my advice to you Tony is to hold and await the good news that is likely to come through in due course. I agree with 1BigRob that ZebraStripes is being too optomistic in terms of the time frame as it will be probably three years before Lamprell shares recover to their previous highs but then again as somebody on another board said about me what do I a senile old bugger know about anything!!!!!!!!LOL.

You are the most valued and respected poster on this board please keep up the good work and I hope that your prediction is once again accurate.I know longer have any free cash to invest due to chasing several younger pretty American women!!!!!!!!!!LOL.

You make a good point apart from the end bit!!!!!!!!!!! I will be back in the UK and travel to Sheffield for the Barnsley game a real must win game thats for sure. I did actually put a sell order on wanting four pounds but I should have taken the high 390's that I was offered by the market makers.

Well done with your accurate postings and also your recent share dealing. I am not surprised after coming back on line after a couple more hours of sleep that we are in positive territory. OceanFree is correct about the shorters being in trouble now. I think we can all see this getting back to previous levels in terms of the share price its just a matter of time. My guess is two to three years to reach four pounds a share again. However a lesson we have all learned is if we see 'directors' selling shares to follow them out of the company. I am still haunted by my posting in early May when I wondered out aloud what did they know that we did not know. We now know that the FSA believes the answer is nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with your comment and its back to bed now and at least it looks like I will still be able to spend six months a year in sunny Florida.

As my friend Wobbly said it was as expected. I will get back to bed shortly once I have seen the reaction from the market. I am on east cost time hence its in the early hours here in the USA.

I am in the USA at present and hence I have only recently come on line and I noted the content of the RNS on the news section of the Lamprell Interactive investor board. I posted straight away on the Interactive investor board why is it that the owners of Lamprell ie Steve Lamprell, myself and all the others of this board are paying for this fine when the senior managers who made significant profits from selling just before the profit warning have as far as I am aware suffered no sanctions or fines. As it says in the announcement part of the complaint against Lamprell was that although the poor performance had been recognised by senior managers the company failed to stop the senior managers dealing (to their significant advantage) in the shares. Has the FSA not considered this as insider trading and if not why not? Happytom my thoughts are just the same as yours my friend. It all sounds like Yes Minister to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the posting and sorry to go off topic folks. We still refer to the other lots as the Pigs however the history of Sheffield Wednesday indicates that this nickname was used by Wednesday fans for our own club before the second world war.It is true that Wednesday are no longer the force that they were in the 1990's this applies much less to the other lot as they have had only brief spells in the last thirty years in the top division. We are known locally as the massive club with an average attendance of around twenty four thousand the second highest in the Champoinship.

1BigRob is correct that there has been no director buys since May 22nd when Colin Goodall the senior independant non executive director purchased 44155 shares at 112.1p. Are we soon to find out why there has been no director buys even at the low price of Lamprell shares a few months ago?. I fear the worst but hope for the best a feeling well known to all Wednesdayites as Deanowls will understand.
