Photo-Me have this morning made an Interim announcement. I havefully studied the report and feel that the drop in price of 38.25% is an over reaction. Vending has increased by 5% and the bone of contention is the manufacturing. A very comprehensive report is available on thisismoney.co.uk. The Interim Dividend has been increased by 25% to 1p.

cynic. Metalrax made an announcement that their profits would be at the lower end. This company has paid a yield of over 7% since 2000. They are in a very strong financial position and will be paying between 7% and 8% yield in April 2006 due to their confidence in the company. The company has been a stock market member for 40 years. I do not make comments concerning yields unless I have done my homework.

Metalrax's fall in the share price yesterday, which I believe was an over reaction has created a further and an extremely good opportunity for yield seekers. The yield on this share is now over 8% and as previously stated on the 14th December 05 is capable of producing a good return with a reasonable risk factor. I note today that the shares have recovered 2.5 pence.

Global Marine Energy previously known as MOS International have a meeting today being an Extraordinary General Meeting which concerns the shares being consolidated. This move seems to be welcomed by the market as almost 10 million shares traded today. The consolidation following the previous positive report by the Directors will have more chance of attracting the larger institutions.

Metalrax. This company has recently made an announcement stating that sales will show a small decline and the price has now been adjusted accordingly. This company has been trading since 1964 and states that it proposes to maintain its dividend which is now one of the highest in the market being almost 8%. For anyone who is looking for a good return on their investment I feel at the current level this share to be a superb purchase. I have personally followed this company for over 20 years. The purpose of this message is to clarify the very high yield and the fact that they have already stated that they will be maintaining their final dividend due to their confidence which last year was a final of 3.75 pence and an interim payment of 1.65 pence per share. I hope this information is helpful to people who are looking for yield with a sensible risk factor.

GamingKing has increased by 30% in the last two days and have made some interesting acquisitions. Does anyone have any thoughts or information on this particular holding. Over 1 million shares traded today.

Invensys have given excellent report over 220,000,000 shares traded today, 15,000,000 in the last 15 minutes. This was a very large highly successful company which unfortunately got it wrong and now seem to be putting their house in order by cost cutting and subsidiary sales. Any comments from anyone who has done a thorough search into this company would be appreciated.

IDD's new factory in Poland which will initially issue 150 million cards per annum increasing to 250 million and the buying by large institutions of this extremely small company, is impressive to say the least. My investigations make me feel that this share has substantial forward movement potential.

Almost 20 million shares traded in 3 hours this morning. Unable to trace any anouncements. Anyone out there any news please.

Fozzyb. I can only repeat my previous comments made on Monday and add the following. After a terrible presentation the stock collapsed which was a total over reaction and a good pay day for the bears. It was feared that Partygaming would try and purchase Empire on-line who have effectively no customers as their business is a direction only. Now Partygaming are putting their house in order and have decided to spend no money on this aquistion but to redirect their 9 million customers to a new web site platform. The shares today of course have risen after the comments of Sportingbet which are an extremely competent company and have a wide source of betting income and I now feel that partygaming, due to their large turnover will make suitable aquisitions to widen their portfolio. When people compare on-line betting with the dot com age where a share was £40 and they were not even a profitable business. Please do not compare the two. On-line betting is here to stay. The retail trade is on its knees and even Mr Green the maestro has recorded a 9.2% drop in business. When the bulls wake up this share will prove to be a good long term investment.

UBT late this afternoon moved up 17%. You will appreciate that this company has 8 pitchs at 6 uk racecourses which include Ascot, Cheltenham and Goodwood. Their turnover was 1.2 million euro. (and I quote euro as their main business is in Ireland) They propose to have a new on-line gambling facility which will include poker. The presentation of their web site is excellent and I definetely feel that these are worth a consideration and due to their very attractive pitchs, what a very cheap aquisition for the big boys.

Partygaming press release just received. New platform launch. As part of today's development historically partypoker players have shared the same poker only system with players from each of the groups four white label poker clients or "skins" (being Empire Poker, Coral Eurobet, Multipoker and Intertops). Following today's move,PartyPoker players will now play on their own private tables and benefit from a number of new and exciting products that are exclusive to the new platform. The new platform includes non-poker games such as Blackjack,as well as added features to the poker product such as Side Bets and Deal Making in Poker tournaments. Once the fully integrated platform is launched in the first half of 2006, players will then be able to click through and play on partypoker, partycasino and the other new partygaming products that are currently being developed, all using a common account and shared purse. The skins poker players will continue to have full access to the existing poker system. They will now also benefit from the releases of several new product enhancements comprising "beginners tables" - these include "micro-limit tables" and low buy-in tables and $50/$100 and $100/$200 tables. PokerNOW.com, which was aquired by the group earlier in the year, will continue to operate on the existing poker system with the skins. Commenting today Richard Segal Chief Executive said the company believes this is in the best interest o

ubet2win has a small buying interest today. Do I take it that this is due to the upward trend of partygaming and the new complacent gambling laws that came into effect this morning. Your views please.

GedW- the information was aquired from channel 4 teletext page 513 On the Move at 4pm today.

Disaster. I understand that this company is in crisis talks with its banks who may pull the plug next week. Any other information will be much appreciated (what a month).

Would like to thank Debbie for her constructive comments. Very interesting. Is no one aware that the reason for the shares dropping in price is in sympathy with the launch of 888 holdings which rose in price from 175p to 183p and have now dropped back to 166p. The bears are at it again and I think the comments made on page 513 teletext channel 4 says it all. These shares are out of favour. Patience is the order of the day.

I do not believe that the Jeweller type negative comments (you know who I am refering to) will destroy this company. 70,000 people were playing last night, results were in line with expectations. Bulls are awaiting. This is a 100 share index. I do however believe that their comments concerning their intention re: the possible bid for Empire on Line, would be helpful, and secondly their confirmation that they intend to widen their portfolio, i.e. less dependence on Poker. You lose money when you sell. Most people at the moment are suffering a paper loss with a company who is not going bust but is subject to negative media comment. I have traded in the market for over 40 years and saw corus drop to 5 pence and many other shares have suffered the same fate. If you bought this share to make a quick buck then forget it. All shares should be viewed as a long term investment. I am a large investor in the stock and am hopeful of seeing a reasonable dividend payment in May 2006.

This company which previously traded as poptones had a rise of almost 100% at 11.00 a.m. On checking them out I find their aquisition of purely creative has been successful. Their turnover is up 98%, and their profits of 1.1 million respresents an increase of 82%. The volume today was 1.4 million shares traded. I have checked their website and they seem to have a great deal of activity. Your opinions please.

So pleased to note a satisfactory day of trading, despite the negative comments concerning the forthcoming flotation of 888. I have carefully monitored in the last 2 days the gambling section and I note that Sportingbet has recovered 48 pence and NETeller 90 pence. Other shares to watch are World Gaming, Empire Online, BETonSPORTS and Ubet2win. I firmly believe that the speech made by the Chief Executive caused an over reaction. Now that the weather is cooling I feel that this will be a great advantage. I look forward to seeing the shares quoted in the 100 share index from monday and shall be supporting 888 in due course. Have a good weekend.

I believe it was debbie who referred to the fact that an anouncement would drive down the price to let the big boys in. She was absolutely correct, proof being the 8,600.000 shares traded late this afternoon. Monday will be interesting, panic selling is not recommended. I have traded in the market for 40 years. I believe there is a second party being a large purchaser which is interested.
