hours. Yes, I agree, looks good, and leaves JG time to pursue the £50M yearly T/O target. 24 hour working smells to me of lovely cash in the bank. Good find again CS. MrBB, last year it did not issue an interim Trad Stat, and it has no AIM requirement to do so since the rule change. However, with all the mangmnt tools available nowadays, it is easy to submit an rns showing %age increases in T/O, and other KPI.So will have to wait 'til end July to see im 26p sp target comes to fruition. Will not be offloading any of my shares in view of the referendum. Not sure what business it does in Eu market, if any. Any fall should be quickly overturned when results are published. IMHO of course. GL

Looks like u r a newbie. I bought in nearly 3 yrs ago at c30p when 'new deals' were signed in China on the back of trade visit by Cameron and CEO. Nothing came of 'deals'. Sold out at 22p when realised this co is crock of *****.. You are bearing losses, and rather substantial %age losses. Fool.

When one considers the scale of the problems in having clean water, not only in third world, but main stream countries, one can only draw the conclusion, that the only thing holding back this company is an incompetent BOD, led by a CEO, who appears to be out of his depth. INMO

How are PLUS robbing people? Are you saying that even if your account is in credit, it will not allow you to withdraw funds.? Or are you saying the margin calls are too high, or the spreads are greater than expected?

I did not see that sp coming, and can see no reason for it only that the MM's want to make a market and slash the price. Tried at 16,25 to buy 25000 shares and could not. Will there be a rise in morning - I think so.

2p ps. Read prelim results.

Depending on the level of the integration costs of the newly acquired businesses, I re-iterate my forecast of 26p sp on results. I think Mr BB 20p is long gone. I have bought steadily the past year, and my av sp is now about 16p, which I am happy with. When divi is 1p ps, then this would give me 6+% ROC, and I am confident within 2 or 3 years the divi will be 2p ps.

I've maintained on the whole, with obvious financial benefits, a v bullish stand on PLUS. On the downside, I am a little wary of cos who use EBITDA as a key indicator. It tell us what is not included in the Earnings figure, but there are other sizeable costs which are not inc in EBITDA, which can be the difference between being EBITDA v good and the co reporting massive losses. After saying that, the amount of cash paid out in divis is a great acid test on the strength of the stock, bearing in mind future performance may not be as good as past. No the metrics were not great in 1/4 1., and it is difficult to say, based on this info what the Margin will be on the impressive T/O. As long as there are no Director sells, I will add shares on any falls, since I believe we will get a v impressive interim divi again. I did reduce my position by 30odd% last week ( on a CFD) since I was taking a position on another share and wanted more available margin, but if price falls below £6, will be happy to add funds and buy more. I am still playing with profits made, which must be the name of the game.

It is a regulatory requirement , even for CFD's, for the owner to notify the co when reportable thresholds are crossed. However, it does not have to say if it is long or short on the form. If it is short, it can be found on any of the numerous sites which report on short holdings.

If u r correct oldfool, then I would expect a sp of £7+. Here's hoping u r correct.

I would think is putting off both buyers and sellers. What on earth are MM's doing?

See Financial Results 17 Feb Ist Para - Financial Highlights - 3rd line - EBITDA Margin 48%

The interesting KPI, which will decide if the sp is to breach £7 again will be the EBITDA margin. 2014 was 64%ish and 2015 44%ish, but obviously much lower than 44% in the second half of year. BOD explained the lower EBITDA margin as a result of higher marketing and regulatory costs. No doubt it will be a v good trading update, and if EBITDA margin is above 55%, then I would expect 10% increase in sp. If PLUS traded on same PE as more well known peers, sp would be £10+. .

Oh dear, another schoolboy error from you. Volatility posted his 'chunky' holding Fri at 13.18. My response with my holding was Fri at 2300. Oh dear, Oh dear. As I said before, plse engage brain - sorry , U dont appear to have one.

Re: Bragging gambler. I only mentioned my .holdings' with PLUS since Volatilityisgood mentioned that he (she) had a 'chunky' holding. So, more advice for a junior investor, plse engage brain before doing anything.

With a handle like that you will appreciate a cfd trader. The post was marked for justdeezerts, but since you want to put yr nose in, it's only a matter of semantics. I stated a divi in my original post since some posters may not have been au fait if I had mentioned a CFD adjustment. And fwiw I hold 8000 shares in Plus on a CFD, majority bought a "2.40 ish. The margin was paid with the profit I made when holding the shares thru a broker (TDW) before the FCA problem. Trust you;ve done better.

To prove you are not more foolish than you look ( yr friends n family will appreciate that), plse tell me exactly what you meant by the statement - ' Genuine PLUS shareholders need not panic, or be concerned!' - , and then tell me what benefits 'genuine' shareholders have which CFD shareholders do not have. Another visit to google for you methinks. haha

If it looks like a divi, smells like a divi, acts like a divi, then it is a divi, irrespective of where the money ( the important bit) comes from. Eventually, ( in May), the money will come from PLUS. Now be a good boy and be quiet on this subject.

I understand your concerns HeresHopin, but I think the decision to accept the bid by PTEC would have seen the owners and Directors of PLUS well compensated financially, and maybe ongoing employment in the group. The Directors would not be particularly concerned about the feelings of ii and pi's. I also think this latest announcement about boiler rooms has nowt to do with PLUS, and I am confidant, that when we see the next 1/4's trading that the sp will breach £7, but here's hoping. GL all

What do you mean - genuine shareholders need not worry etc. You obviously know nothing about CFD's, or how they work, and I suggest to you that making comments on subjects you know nothing about makes you look rather stupid.
