Just more hot air to keep followers engaged and dreaming of riches.

That is what I though until semantic called us roaches.

Semantic - LOL- so I would suggest you could be saying that anyone holding these are the ***kroaches being turned over many times as history shows, and now I am wondering if I was mad as a hatter to buy more, even if IBAI can withstand being torched repeatedly.

I was going to keep adding but now, you have put me off as I don't feel like being crunched underfoot for anything more that the couple of hundred thousandshares I have.

TB - Braveheart reduced stake again but I guess they are still making a profit on what they are selling, as they bought 3% of the holding at the bottom of the pit.

Thanks for the Link -

Soon this will come up trumps, but nice to see the buying continue, if it keeps going next week and a few bigger buys it mat soon past the 1p breakout wall.

Max I am down too but less than 20% and only a small amount compared to what it seems to me that many of you hold.

Still, it does seem that it is a great time to put your chips down and see if this casino pays out by Chistmas, then leave a profit for others, as it rises but hold at least 50%for long term growth.

Everyone sounding more positive now, thank heavens.

A few top ups over the last few days but not from me I regret to say, as no spare spondulacks available at the moment.

Those of you with cash, I guess have topped up beforte several times just to see the value drop and are now not willing to risk more having lost thousands I assume. If you each topped up now with a couple of grands worth, would it bring your averages down much?

Thank you SEA7

To my knowledge the scheme closed some time ago, I have just looked at the 2023/2024 Annual Report and the details can be seen via this link:

https://www.mothercareplc.com/~/media/Files/M/Mother-Care/documents/annual-reports/2023-24-annual-report.pdf

In brief there are two scheme, one was in surplus and one showed a deficet of £35 millionon assets of £197.6 million and the contributions were agreed but since then a holiday was also announced in one of the RNS. So besides all you say, if the value of the investments has increased since 2023 in line with the stock market increases, then this deficet willhave reduced.

The surplus from one fund cannot be used against the other fund.

I am really just looking forward to hearing which UK business is replacing Boots in 2026 as this could be exciting, and of course any other new contracts.

The sooner we know the better, as it may put life into the stock.

All very cheerful after the long weekend I see.

So much talk about so little, so i will just wait to see where it goes and add as money allows.

Semantic that’s pretty destructive, saying that sales for the companies product are limited due to the corporate structure to implement advances .

Do IBAI offer Stonechecker for free for a trial period, if not that is the sort of thing that then attracts monthly subs.

Maybe being a small enterprise they lack sales skills or marketing ideas - they need to invite applicants for an intern job, straight from Uni, for a six month job to assit them complete thheir degrees, and as part of the applicants interview process get them to put forward presentations how they would promte the products and attract clients.

They pay very little and some nothing but they should pay them basic wage , and they would get first class ideas and pick a star maybe, that would market the services and the company.

The news from IGE today about new orders and improvements in cash is good news for holders here, although there are delays with orders it seems the company is working through those in a satisfactory manner.

Each to their own opinions but I don’t agree, as the pension deficit can be closed over time, as the trust is very supportive, and up until recently they were paying the agreed amount on a very regular basis.

The pension fund may also be revalued favourable as the stock market has done reasonably well .

Unless those big trades were just some internal chess moves there is bound to be a RNS, as each trade was over 9% of the company.So the next few days could be very telling one way or another.

Interesting comments because since buying a few shares a couple of months ago I have done a lot of research, and found the roots of the company go back to the late 1980/90's , and found that it was a succesful postal flower grower, retailer, then an early internet success, valued at £23 million only to fall apart

It then was involved with stamps and collectables, and that turned sour as well.

Afer that nothing more than a shell at which time I think TB got control, and has changed it's name several times.

Please if anyone knows more then please correct me if I have made mistakes in my research. Semantic will know I guess.

Since then it seemed it flip flopped with Stone Checker and so on until arriving here. The shares never going anywhere really, and reaching an all time low now.

What the company has now is potential, as far as I can see anyway but long time holders seem to think TB has used it for his personal gain, as far as I understand, from all I have read. They also think semantic is TB or his shadow, I am not sure what to make of that but I also think from all the links that have been posted here, that I have checked out, that it would just take the One-Armed Bandits Symbols to line up and it could hit a pay-out, if not even the jackpot, but what I think posters are saying, is that if punters are not aware of the casino then they will not be putting in their tokens in and pulling the arm, and if there are not many tokens, and if there are not little regular prizes, it will not attract punters and the payout for the early investors will be lower.

Punters only come if they read RNS and not medical jargon.

Could Frasers have just bought a stake from a big holder?

The 100k was a buy and you can still buy at 3p online.

How much does it cost for the company toissue a RNS ?

All positive documents but it does not create interest in the stock. I have come to the conclusion that the stock is just one to buy and keep adding to, whenever cash is available, and just sit on the investment until such time as a large pharmaceutical corporation takes an interest and makes an offer of many multiple times the current share price.

Thank you for all the links that have been posted as it fills me with confidence that in the longer run this will be a great investment.

Thanks for that link Max, I had not seen thast before ,

Very clearinformation in that one.

Nice buy again I see from someome with a decent amount of cash.

Yes linandy1 - They seemed to be telling all the nit wits that things are about to change and to buy the stock now, and if I had more cash I would.

The RNS was very clear that they know everyone is P***** off with them but things are about to change and from the links that have been posted here it looks like they are as well.
