Sportech. |
Now has a brand new website. |
The "Single Protected Trade" These are often open to misunderstanding.

Very risky! See the comment on archive re protected
trades. One of these can wipe you out! |
|
Stock Overhangs |
Occur when a large tranche of stock is on the books of one, or
several Market Makers. It is well above NMS so takes a long time to
clear. Frequently it occurs if an institutional stake is sold and
fails to find a taker at the time. |
Wide Spreads? re NMS

What
is a "Shell Company?" |
Riceman
Now RII has just gained this status. A "shell" is
a company with only cash and no trading arm at all. That is it has no
actual business. Such a "shell" is intended to buy or
"reverse into" another company which may then use its
market quote. Print Potato.com was a "shell" too. It
now is Invox.
A recent example was Rodime, now Sportech.
There is currently a surplus of "shell" companies! |

New website
with advice for small businesses from the British Bankers' Association |
|
Prompted
by other press comments and world events.
I
have a vested interest in some companies but have no formal
investment qualifications. Stockmarkets are strange places and react
to all sorts of stimuli. The concept of "Long Term"
seems to be a few weeks in some cases rather than years! I regard it
as years, so bear that in mind.
This site has been compiled under Win98 with a simple sitebuilder.
Any observations from the users of other OS are welcome. That means
to ANY of the pages and content. |
Apologies
for lack of updates |
Maybe
the turn is due Monday?
I
added our new mascot to point out the lemming like panic that has
persisted over the oil price worries. The Business on Sunday has
suggested that false OPEC data has been a major factor!
As
always, check the Nasdaq
site for both after hours and Pre market trading.(see links below).
There is also an excellent new facility on the site, showing the
Nasdaq 100 shares during trading hours. Click
the link.

This website should have a full indexing system, with a search
option. I noticed that it was not operating recently. It should
appear on the feedback or interactive (up
to a point) page. There is also an offsite search link and a new
Yahoo! group on Penny Shares. That has not really got going yet, but
will do with more participating members.
Skyepharma
.
Check
company website for
important event news. Things are going well! A fact not reflected in
the share price!
Skyepharma continues to show increased potential as more hurdles
are cleared. Controlled release drugs can and WILL compete with
generics, as a result of their advantages to the patient! |
Note:- This is not
a recommendation to buy, merely an observation. |

Shares News? See RNS News on the Sharepages
site under news.
Bula Resources.
The shares are currently still suspended, yet are still on my
Barclays portfolio! According to Simon Watkins (Mail on Sunday) ,
apparently the authorities wanted clarification about its financial
position (but would give no more details). Bula is currently in
receivership - see the link on the site homepage. This time it looks terminal.
There is high risk in venturing into such sensitive areas. Bula seem
to have been a little careless in dealing. |
Are Dotcoms bad
news everywhere? I think not! GOOGLE is in profit (announced August
7th 2003.) Now about to be floated! |
E-Capital
announced a change of approach. For Investment information see the iii
Bulletin boards. Recent results seem to bode well. Now Avanti
Capital shares consolidated 60 to 1. |
Media Content (holding
24000) Snooker deal added should be a new positive factor. This
company is going places! (IMHO) Further info see RNS news. Not Any
More it ain't! Deureka is now using the assets!

Pacific Media. (Holding
500000 Ordinaries)
PACIFIC MEDIA PLC Moved
from AIM to the Official List. Bought at
under 0.5p level.
Note:- This is not
a recommendation to buy, merely an observation.

Wilshaw. Now practically a cash shell. |

Fortune Oil (new webpage)
(Holding 30000 Ordinaries).
The 2001 results text is available
onsite, including a new China Review. The company is potentially in
the largest Pacific Rim economic block. To some extent China is
insulated from recent events. I recently doubled
my stake as planned at current levels. New SPM expansion plans show
confidence which is worth following. Note:-
This is not a recommendation to buy, merely an observation. |
