the MMs dropped the price to trigger some stop losses so they can mop up all the shares/create liquidity for a big buyer. total assumption though.

ok. i was wondering where paul82 got that figure from... do u know how much does UNIQ evaluate Marie as their asset on the balance sheet(and how much of that is intangible)? i'm assuming they would probably be selling Marie at a loss but wondering how much of a loss...

it can't be whole of UNIQ. £25m is only about 10% of UNIQ's turnover...in UK alone!

nobody knows for sure what this will do to the share price. perhaps that is why nobody dares to answer. nobody can say for certain either how the market will react but more cash for UNIQ = better working capital for the short-medium term. market capitalisation is only what the market perceives the company is worth, not what it is truly worth in financial terms.

I've held this for quite a while but I'm out now, after the last RNS regarding the 2 top ranks leaving. I suggest checking their background and checking the implications without having the City Code to protect/back your investment, which also means the City may never invest in CGM again. Worrall was also the chairman of Thyssenkrupp, so it's not just "any" director leaving. The City backing and Worrall attracted me to this share more than the numbers. Such a waste I didn't sell out when they were 28p, as these were meant to be my long term investments..but I've lost faith. Good luck if you're still in here.

last I checked on WKP, I think there's only 90m shares to go now..."only"...lol... these shares can finish quite fast. but if u really want to make your money work for you, you should invest in non-property or recruitment related stocks first, as these are the last 2 industries to boom in a recession, imo. but keep an eye on WKP through RNS releases to try forecast when the overhung shares would run out. i have the bulk of my investments in slightly riskier stocks not related to these industries but as the recession ends(better, stronger indicators like GDP, unemployment), i will be investing the bulk of my capital back into property.

morning mate - u always up this late? =) anyway, while i understand ur frustration in non-regular communication from the board of some companies, i personally feel that is not good enough reason to leave. just remind yourself why you invested in TXR in the first place - was communication your main purpose? if not, then perhaps stick to what you believe in. for me, i see value in TXR, so i'm staying on till end-june, at least. may is a bad time for stocks as it is results month for Q1 and most companies perform badly in Q1. june onwards should see share prices grow slowly, imo. anyway, i've been sitting here from a profit to a loss now and i tend to hang on unless i need the cash urgently, which i don't. i have another investment where there were 50 robbers who raided the mine of a few mineral tonnes, then the 2 most powerful directors in the company resigned the next day. that, i feel, is a better/bigger reason to jump ship! but being a dayworker in a full time office job, i just found out about the news today so i have to wake up early tomorrow morning to sell that stock before City investors pull out.

have a read :- http://www.fool.co.uk/news/comment/2005/c051006a.htm hope that helps

has anybody studied this company fervently? within 2008, rheochem has pumped A$10m into zeus petroleum(interest free!) without any favourable results so far. does anybody have anymore info on this? it seems that zeus is bleeding rheochem's finances dry. also, i would probably think 6p is around fair value for rheochem because this company is also listed on the ASX, with more than 200m shares, same amount as on the stock exchange here. the premium has not been priced into the stock although it does seem their finances are fairly well managed so far. i'm just concerned about zeus petroleum! where is the point they will call it quits?

cheers mate, i got my ex-housemate(bless her) to find the first link u posted but both links seem to be from march, no mention or confirmation of any bidding war. although, i can imagine it is definitely possible with interest from the likes of 10 industry players throughout europe... marie was operating at a loss but just as UNIQ turned it around into a profiting business(including UNIQ itself), the credit crash landed like an atomic bomb. so with that track record, they can cost-cut successfully on local shores too, as the UK recovers.

do u think they will disclose the amount at the meeting? can it be that they chose not to disclose the amount because they are afraid it will affect share price volatility(i don't think so)? ok, it's an insurance term of agreement but why?

i was reading through the last few pages and notice u use the tools on your trading platform. this is why you should not rely on stop-loss or limit orders because it all appears on level 3 infor for market makers. if u do, u leave yourself at the MM's mercy :- http://www.growingwealthmag.com/?p=459 as oilbarron once advised me before, always trade live. the MMs will suck your blood dry if they can, then they'll take your family and your house too(not exactly his words though!). i have lost loads before, when they artificially brought down the share price to fill my limit order, then brought the price back up to it's true value immediately after. best execution my foot. whenever u see a sharp spike downwards on the chart and it comes back up to the true/fair price level, you know someone lost out. i'm sure some of us have done that mistake before when we started. we should always trade live. it turned out to be an expensive lesson for me as i was still a new trader then. we learn everyday. i still have nightmares over that trade as i've never lost that much before, to such a silly, newbie mistake. i was a genuine investor then, never speculated at all, yet i got f*cked in the butt. i never use limit orders or stop losses anymore. these tools that are meant to "help" us retail investors, actually do us more harm than good. these are the true culprits that give stock trading a bad name. the rampers you find on this website is nothing compared to the MMs.

check UNIQ. i can see the £ sign in your eyes...lol...

http://boards.fool.co.uk/Message.asp?mid=11550857&sort=postdate interesting opinion of others regarding the sale of Marie. if Marie really gets sold for £60m, that cash sale alone is worth a share price of 52.25p when divided by shares in issue. i hope uniq gets what marie is truly worth.

apologies - they're just share options, not director buys. please disregard my last sentence in the last entry.

director shareholding announced today :- http://production.investis.com/uniq/rns/?id=1242743166nRnsS5164S exercisable 19 May 2012 - 18 May 2019. sounds like they intend to be around much longer than the market thinks they will.

where and how do u get your info? if it's true, it's an interesting development. =)

if i was actually "sundance" and today in here, i realise why... i think i need to change my nickname. hello sundance, i'm the noun, not the verb. =)

a lot, but they will run out. just got to be patient. as long as you're in here long term, small fluctuations shouldn't matter. as for UNIQ, yeah i believe that company will perform in time to come. most importantly(for me), it's a sound company. they've just had a bit of bad luck lately but it's getting better.
