mel abolutely spot on in relation to the debt implications.i think it does change the dynamic significantly. no idea how this will be valued on return to trading .there is plenty of time for developments in other directions which can have an impact.

sorry heimdal got it.must be very slow today.

heimdal excuse my ignorance but what please isTOWMBO? i also noted the very specific reference to biological aging markers etc which i did not recall seeing before. need to be careful not to read too much into it though

lofas suspension is no barrier to RNSs.salient news has to be announced as usual

yes morningbignose.all perfectly reasonable and i hope you are right that there is more to it than last time.we seem to have been trying to reclaim and hold a 0.10hkd level for a while so will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.hard to feel that is is RX to OTC related as that is still very much an unknown and also not likely to show any effects for some time,but who knows.

bignose good to see the rise holding into the close.heimdal's post has an eerily familiar ring to it.seems very similar to his last one but I'm just going on memory which isn't always reliable.oh well better than going down.gla

the rakuten links mel are really really interesting imo.this is becoming a truly fascinating story.

thank god for that. thought old age had finally defeated me.only joking.really odd in a way.one could understand it going up and staying largely up on news etc, but to do this type of fairly extreme daily swing is a bit odd and does suggest something going on in thevbackground. we shall see what happens.

afternoon bignose.yes anotherintersting day.your posts certainly serve as a salutary reminder of why was promised/expected at one time.we do seem to be repeating this trading patters every few days.if some trade or trades took place at 0.118 hkd then that would have been about 24% up i think (maths might not be right) no idea what it might mean but at least seeing more respectable volumes every now and then helps one feel there is still perhaps some life in regent.yes lets see what tomorrow brings.

Dbay have 11.41% at last disclosure so 0.6% would push them over next disclosure. even if they are using other vehicles i assume they have to disclose if they can exercise ultimate control.from a purely personal viewpoint(and know that this is not attractive to those holders with a much higher average) i am hoping they are increasing and that we can expect a t /o at 50p plus in next 6 to twelve months.my biggest worry actually is not the debt they are carrying,but the macro economic outlook.a major correction in equities has to happen imo in the not too distant future (how long i have no idea) and proactis won't be immune. so i would rather a sale went through before that happens. just my opinion and pure speculation but if they have been increasing (and expect they have)it will be good news for me.

very pertinent news imo LF.good find.

interesting article mel.incidentlly despite my earlier posts i do not expect melody to drop the name.i agree with ORLM that they will probably push he napster name, but by association with melody to ensure that general brand awareness is maximised.

perhaps the more pertinent question would be to ask how many people have heard of melody and then how many have heard of napster.

my available years are now quite limited I'm afraid.

well puddin I'm sure you do understand, but to answer your question I've no idea whether napster as such will become the overarching brand and I'm not sure it really matters. personally if it is of any significance( and perhaps it is in these times when image etc is key) i think the name napster is far more enticing than melody which to be honest has always seemed to me to be a bit lightweight as a brand name.a bit too "nice "if you know what i mean. when we were having a laugh about renaming melody before the announcement i actually said to my wife that i though "grabster"was my favourite.i was joking but the subsequent napster announcement has convinced me that i now have undoubted powers of vaticination (do you like that one?) apologies for waffling.my point really is that i agree that key synergies are commercial(more attractive user base etc)rather than cost base.for a company in mvrs state of development you wouldn't really expect them to be looking at cost base issues,its all about expansion and customer awareness.imo

yes ORLM i agree.i thought puddin made a very perspicacious point in that respect (but he will tell you I'm no expert lol).

200k share no trade reported now from yesterday.looks like a buy.

well there are going be views reflecting both sides.my comments re the s/p remain pertinent for me (currently a couple of percent or so above pre announcement price). what cannot be assessed and what is not pertinent to RN's share price is the potential synergy benefits to and from Napster's association with mvr. im not saying how big or small they are as I've no idea, but obviously we hope that they will be positive.
