Dumbledore,
I can't be expected to answer questions about something I have not said.
That would be silly.
Please do not post FACTUAL information on here, it disrupts the agenda. This is a rampers thread, where only posts to pull the wool over reader's eyes are allowed...

Did not doggy say that Perion were listed on the Nasdaq and yet were undervalued regardless?

stt1 has caused dissension amongst you.
See how you squirm.
Slaves you were and slaves you remain!

stt1 was caught out - As Expected!
Stating that bottom-line revenues would be lower.
He said that they were lower even before they were declared.
What does that tell us
Now he opines that a 12% increase is nothing to be pleased about.
Make up your own minds - read the results.
A lying toad - As Expected!

Huge fraud levels are endemic in the healthcare sectors, both NHS and private.
Rather than shrink from that certain fact it would surely be better to put in place measures to counter such activity.
Your beloved stt1 continually bangs on about fraud in the ad-tech sector, in 'Tremor' over on LSE and ADVFN.

I am trying to give some useful ideas here but, of course, I seem to be addressing the Indians rather than the chiefs.
Dumbledore thinks TLY are squeaky-clean and never never do any 'cheating' and that may well be the case.
I have not yet alleged fraud inside Totally.
However I think that if Totally wanted to make a lot more money they could indicate their own systems in place to counter fraud and that alone would reap huge rewards, as I have indicated the NHS is a minefield of wrong charging, from pharmaceutical giants to operations, plasters and aftercare.
Fraud is costly to investigate and often a small compensatory payment is accepted because it requires such manpower that it cannot be fully investigated.

If TLY could cut the fraud inside the NHS then this would be another string to their bow - and a very powerful one.
I have already indicated that TLY could engage with the NHS to conduct preventative testing to reduce huge costs for care after the horse has bolted from the stable.
But do they listen or just hurl abuse.
Actually dynaheir seems able to listen and comment without a knee-jerk and abusive response.
That is all I wish for.

There is huge fraud prevalent in the healthcare industry.
As stt1 says this may be an issue requiring serious attention in order for TLY to prove its credentials.
The introduction of 'for profit' providers of healthcare services in the English NHS is likely to substantially increase the amount of health care fraud in the UK. This is for two reasons. First, for-profit providers have significant incentives to ‘cheat’ the system in order to increase their revenues and maximize returns to investors, and are likely to seek to do so in the knowledge that the opportunities for detection are weak and the penalties for breaking the law, if found out, are insubstantial. The use of ‘payment by results’ contracts with private providers in the new NHS market, provides significant opportunities for ‘upcoding’ and making other fraudulent claims, as has already been shown by the activities of some publicly-owned hospital trusts. Second, some of the private companies which are significantly involved in the new NHS market have experience of engaging in healthcare fraud in the US

Healthcare services delivered under contract between the state and the private sector are particularly susceptible to cheating because of their highly complex nature, and because effective monitoring of the performance of contracts is liable to be prohibitively expensive.
Even before the large scale contracting out of healthcare services to the private sector, fraud within the NHS has been substantial, partly as a result of the contracts which have been struck with private organisations to deliver healthcare services and products.
The National Fraud Authority estimates that around £2.4 billion a year is lost through fraud when the government enters into contracts with the private sector.
Overcharging commonly happens inside the NHS but the rate nearly doubles inside the private sector:
A review of the bills from one London hospital in respect of the patients referred from one GP practice in 2008-09 found that the hospital had over-billed the PCT in respect of these patients to the tune of at least 40%. The PCT stopped checking the results after confirming this figure, because to check more would have consumed too many staff resources. It contented itself with securing a repayment from the hospital of £323,000 out of total billings for the year of £801,000.

It should be stressed that when NHS hospitals maximize income by overcharging their behaviour is not driven by the financial interest of shareholders, or of the staff involved, and while it leads to serious misallocation of resources, and needs to be dealt with, the funds do not leave the NHS. The case is different if there is over-billing by private providers.
Both the incentives to ‘cheat’ the system in this way and the opportunities for doing so are likely to increase as for profit companies are used to deliver healthcare services in the NHS. A study published in the Journal of Health Economics found that the rate of ‘upcoding’ in the US health care system was twice as high in for-profit hospitals as in non-profit hospitals.
The risks to the English NHS are increased by the fact that some companies entering the new NHS market have settled major fraud cases in the US.

Hence, as stt1 would say, there is much opportunity for fraud in the system - we don't know how much exactly.

Aerial America is available in the U.K. on Freeview and Frreesat.
Stunning aerial views combined with narration by Jim Conrad
Provides potted histories. landmarks etcetera.

Also covers 'The Pacific War - in colour
'Mystic Britain'.

Private healthcare has its sights on a huge, alluring, easy pile of cash 'up for grabs' in the NHS.

Ten common health care provider fraud schemes:
1. Billing for services not rendered.
2. Billing for a non-covered service as a covered service.
3. Misrepresenting dates of service.
4. Misrepresenting locations of service.
5. Misrepresenting provider of service.
6. Waiving of deductibles and/or co-payments.
7. Incorrect reporting of diagnoses or procedures (includes unbundling).
8. Over-utilization of services.
9. Corruption (kickbacks and bribery).
10. False or unnecessary issuance of prescription drugs.

So this must mean that massive fraud on may levels is a weakness in the system.
And, therefore, it requires massive resources to police?
Is there a body attending to all the above?

I think private healthcare is in a bubble and it will burst.

The toxic troll who feeds on provoking others is a bully.
Provoking is a form of abuse.
Admin couldn't care less.

On the London Stock Exchange the publication of large trades is delayed to give the market-maker concerned time to unwind the change in their inventory.

Did someone just say stt1 could benefit from a welly up his jacksie?
No harm in trying!

In-Long :

'Tricky. Myopic, with an IQ of a 10 year old at best.'

That rather depends on the mental age of the 10 year old.

Has anyone watched 'Aerial America' by the Smithsonian channel.
Superb imagery from a helicopter covering America, state by state.

stt1 - you are infatuated with your own opinions of a negative nature.
Consumed by irrelevant information.
Based on figures or statements that you misinterpret deliberately.
That's your problem, not ours.
You are fighting something in your life but it doesn't seem at all healthy.

baldy,

It means they could issue a dividend but see better returns elsewhere.

So, Rusty Buttock, you are saying that the results will be inline with expectations, give or take?

Unfortunately I did happen to watch some the interview.
I can only say that Harry was a thoroughly likeable person until littl miss personality disorder came into his life and controlled his thoughts and emotions.
Meghan seems to be narcissistic and manipulative.
I can sort of see that they may need some kind of body guard protection but that is just about money and they are not exactly penniless are they.
As for the colour of the baby issue, so what! They are big and mature enough (or are they?) to brush it off.
Or are they just being unrealistic in general?
Two young adults with a baby and money and they want to allow (paid) interviews to air their dirty washing in public because they did not get what they think was owed to them.

So, TLY can do very good business and pay dividends on the taxpayers money that the understaffed and underfunded NHS struggles to provide services for?
With staff and resources, equipment, and medicines of their own?
Reducing bottlenecks at the request of the NHS because their management is superior.
TLY must be the answer to every investors prayer.
Great stuff - we're all going to get rich!
