Member Info for TechieMan

Im quite techy and last time i looked i was a man. I now have a deep distrust of aim directors after my one and only venture into aim took a large chunk of my sipp from me. I have been studying cpx for a while. Its a good little company in the right industry clearly with some clever employees. However, reading through last few years announcements it looks like retail investors have been taken for a ride and many will be nursing big paper losses. I cant see the sp recovering for years so unlikely to get any buying sentiment to return. The directors have now got themselves into a very weak position imo, ripe for a cheap buyout. If such a buyout provides a big sweetner to the cpx directors, employees etc then it will prove very tempting as their shareholdings will take many years to give them a return if they keep trading in their own right. Just an opinion of a long in the tooth techie business man. I hope im wrong for the sake of all long termers. I may take a £20k punt if this drops under 1.5p as thats as much as im prepared to lose if my buyout theory proves correct. Be careful!

Or not. Lets see

Deleted, lol.

Disgraceful!

I have been interested in the products of this company for the last year and have been watching closely looking for something that would give me trust in the directors. The absence of updates to shareholders left me suspicious.

Ive been studying trades on this share over the last year. Easy to do really considering the low level of daily trades. I have found that over 75% of trades have been buys despite the decline in sp. This supports the institutional gathering of shares when retail investors stood off. This finding is as evidenced in the formal announcements. So why have the institutions been accumulating. Only conclusion you reach is they have better insight than retail shareholders.

Ive also been analysing posters on this bb. Many backed off months ago as sp continued to drop. Suggest some were in the know as to what was going on and sold in the knowledge they would have a chance to buy in cheaper.

The reality is this business looks financially vulnerable and open to a cheap buyout. With retail investors confidence shattered on this then any recovery of sp looks like a pipedream. This is my opinion which should not be removed from this board as freedom of expression is a basic right. Ive also said nothing in a derogatory way.

Aim is full of manipulation and why should this one be any different. Why cant directors be straight with all its investors? All very suspicious to me.

Lets see if this gets removed.

Looks like control is being exerted on both the sp and this board. Well there is only one conclusion you can come to as to who is doing this. The scale of manipulation on aim is quite flabbergasting and quite worrying.

Sorry pp1 that's an incredibly naive statement. Ill leave it at that.

I hope your faith is well placed and not blind. Time will tell but retirement must be on the horizon for some directors which may influence their business considerations in the next year or so. I like the business but perhaps experience of sxx is just too raw at the moment. Will back off for a while. Good luck

Thanks pp1. I dont dispute that capxx future looks promising. Thats why im watching carefully. Howe ver, there is little evidence that any research into this company says i should trust the board not to feather their own nest to the detriment of other shareholders if the opportunity presented itself. Quite the contrary im afraid so suggest you do a little research and ask yourself why i should trust them and let us all know. Yeah i was badly burned on sxx.

Just those who bought at 2p ramping before offloading. Be careful

He who laughs last ..... yout've been warned trust them at your peril. More chance of a 1p wake than a 20p party JH imo

No negativity at all - this is a conman's market. Expect to lose it all then you wont be driven to despair when it happens

Its not about me filling you with confidence. Its about whether cap-xx fills you with confidence that it can be trusted to act in the interests of ALL shareholders. There are many examples of companies cutting retail investors out of any buyout deals by one way or another.

It used to be that as small companies thrive and grow, which is what capxx seem to be doing, that this would be reflected in the sp. This would place it well for a buyout price that would deliver a return for all shareholders. Aim is now a place for strangling small businesses and for unscrupulous self serving directors.

With the sp so low now, i can't see directors waiting another 5yrs + to see a financial return so imo its likely some deal will be done that rewards the capxx team and close associates that will exclude retail investors by hook or by crook. Institutional investors will approve it because that is what they do.

I dont see many reassuring responses to my question 'can they be trusted' which is what potential retail investors need to hear, of which i am one. No nasty motives here, far from it, just looking for companies with big growth potential but I dont want to throw away good money. I sense yet another aim stitch up - all the ingredients are there.

Anyway, it's all about health and not wealth.

Very unlikely that maxwell will fight this all the way. More likely a deal will be done which may be part of a buyout arrangement. The future looks very bright for the capxx team, question is can you trust them to bring retail investors along with them. History on aim suggests otherwise. Been reading up on last few years rnss and doesn't fill me with confidence as rarely a mention of private shareholders. Personally, think they will be left up the creek without a paddle but hope i'm wrong.

It's all a question of trust but when most are so far underwater then probably most have written this off anyway like most stories on aim these days.

Why should they be trusted? Interested in educated responses rather than abuse.

Awards & ethics are well and good but directors will save themselves first in a sinking ship. This imo is clearly heading to a cheap buyout as director shares worth has dissapeared and is unlkely to recover for years. The only way they can recover it financially for themselves would be to agree a deal for the capxx team and mates only. Imo, the sp will now be driven down to a point to suit the deal. Very sad for shareholders. Hope I'm wrong but looks like another aim stitch up.

Company will be bought out for a penny with a sweetner deal for the capxx team and there mates. You heard it hear first. Should have sold up when you had the chance. Another aim scam in the making imo.

I'm sending a 3 generation family photo to CF at local site office stating the personal loss affecting me, my children and my parents. He can then put a face to us rather than just see us as anonymous numbers. It's very difficult to forget a face.

I'll include a pin for him to make it easy to attach to his office pinboard.

Mugged again by the rich and the richer.

Aim has evolved over the last 5 years in a way that it is now purely a vehicle to deliberately fleece private investors of their pensions and savings. Directors and the whole fraudulent system have so many ways to achieve their robbing aim with no credible watchdogs to protect investors interests.

Well perhaps, just perhaps, they just picked the wrong fight here. Yorkshire folk tell it as it is and do not take kindly to being taken for mugs. Wouldn't it be great if this was the turning point with Aim, the end of the robbing of honest folk & we can tell our grandchildren that it was the grit and determination of the Yorkshire folk who ended the blatant corruption on the Aim market, and it started here with Sirius.

And let the world be cleansed of this evil, amen.

Actually, coming to think about it, it may well apply here too, sadly.

Before choosing to invest in sxx, lol
