shares

UK

This is an exchange designed for smaller UK companies with a shorter trading history. It is usually more difficult to trade in these shares. Web trading may not be possible. The OFEX site itself has broker information etc. You have to register as a user here.

US

This is the American stock Exchange which deals in "High Tech" stocks. A visit to the website is STRONGLY recommended, to see what really goes on over there. Do not take all press comments at face value. See it all for yourself. Some UK brokers will trade there for you too.

US Main

The main US Stock exchange, based on Wall Street. A very good website, well worth a visit. The "Dow Jones" index is of the 30 largest US companies.

Unsolicited Mail. This is a very common occurrence. Shareholder lists are accessible it seems, so brokers can write, offering services. They want your business, so treat such shots with care. If they don't send out certificates you could find yourself in trouble

2000 was a dreadful year for Internet and other similar Technology stocks. Some will go under or merge in 2002. Averaging down is RISKY but could aid a recovery of cash too.

Property Trust

Delisted. So much for past shareholder support.

Stake sold.

Bula Resources

Lybian prospects of substantial gain, but investment is needed.

Quoted on both Dublin and London exchanges. Results indicated a much stronger financial position. Suspended

Holding 30000

Irish based oil company, with a history of failed investments in Russia, possibly through no fault of its own. Recent events suggest a major revival imminent. The website has considerable detail. Lack of positive news (despite a lot of Bulletin board speculation) explains the shareprice drift.

Global Natural Energy

Europe-Steel.com is making steady progress. Traded on OFEX.

Europe-Steel.com site.

Company with varied interests in the CIS and East Europe. Traded in steel and other heavy goods. Also had a stake in Riceman Insurance. Now sells petrol! Important news on the latter Feb 23rd. Europe Steel shares trade on the OFEX exchange. The Europe-steel site has been updated. Holding 200 MSX

TomCo

Formerly Netcentric. It holds oil shale leases un Utah. Estimates of 230m barrels of oil could be involved. Shell has "in-situ" extraction technology which could be economic at £30.00 a barrel. It has announced a buy into an Israeli oilfield. The shares issued to fund this appear to have attatched warrants!

Hitchens- Wallgate.

Online retailer on eBay - selling branded end of line goods. They are buying Wallgate, a supplier, and are releasing more shares to finance the deal. Seems I was not bought shares in this company (via Weizman Associates ) An intermediary, MAI Holdings took the cash but failed to buy the stock!)

Rodime Sportech

The shares are now renamed Sportech. Currently relaunching the "New Football Pools".

See Market comment page

Now hold 100

The company has relaunched as Sportech, by taking over Littlewoods Leisure interests. This involved a rights issue and other cash raising. For details see the Market comment page. A change of logo is likely. A linked site is
This site now offers WAP and other on line betting links.

It seemed a matter of time only before the stock was requoted. However not a lot has happened!

This company is currently suspended ,but NOT in receivership. They are still actively trading and have a range of "cutting edge" products. They have, to some extent taken over where Rodime left off. They have been active at trade fairs and in promoting the internet security system. In view of "I Love You, fwd Joke" and other such nasties this could be a major earner

Riceman Investments website

Now Minster Pharma.

Holding 20000

The original business provided services to businesses in the CRS and other Eastern Bloc countries. The site link left is to that business web page.

Now reactivated - see left.

The company now is a drug development company, specialising in neurological and psychiatric treatments.

Pacific Media (Now ResponzeTV as from Dec 2006)

AIM listed from Jan. 2007 Code RETV

Shares Consolidated 40000 old was minimum level.

Holding now changed Holding 3000

Originally Mainly involved in the cinema industry. Recently it expanded into Internet activity in Business websites on the Asian Continent.

Investments sold or written off.

The charts (ADVFN) are for 30th Jan 2007. The renaming was on the 29th Dec 2006. At the time the webmaster rated the stock a strong buy.

This was before the buy of Reliant International Media, which appears to be a similar operation to the Asian trading site, currently offline, and which is a customer of the wholesale business already! Basically it sells "Argos" style items stateside.

PACIFIC MEDIA PLC (Renamed Dec 2006)

TV Media now ResponzTV http://www.responzetvplc.com/main.php

Enterprise Asia

Holding 26000

Still trading now in the Energy sector but delisted.

There is a company with a similar website name here.There was a move to take over the company.Asia IS a major growth area.and recent investment by EPA has been away from the Dotcom type of stock.

Re Media Content. The value of the company has been transferred into a new one. "Cloned" in effect, leaving shareholders with nothing it seems!

Media Content

The site above still exists, but there is no company! (Or is there?)

Holding 24000 (worthless!)

A former "Shell" company, which was acting as adviser and supplier in a range of areas, on the sporting and other related fronts. A lot of deals are in place, in a wide range of countries, most recently with MUFC. The TV option too shows potential for the future. Now Deureka is using the assets!

Avanti Capital Holding 500 after reorganisation Investments link.	One of the first Internet incubator companies, now so much out of favour. The company has cash to invest.A change of emphasis was evident under the new board.
The holding in Expocentric was sold, the company now being bought by MICE Group (at a discount). e-capital paid a 25% premium (in shares, not cash) for Avanti Partners.
Fortune Oil Holding 30000	Originally trading mainly in China. It has had some negative political pressure and legal complications, but is potentially in a very large market area. Recent trade talks are promising. The company now has a Web page. Onsite pages here. Shareprice
Gourmet Holdings Website should help in future plans. It has recently been revamped very considerably. There seem to be further expansion plans. Holding	Originally "City Gourmets" which reversed into the "Shell" of Lanica Trust, which failed spectacularly to take over the Co-op. The shares held at around 30p for some time, but have slid of late. The current team have a sound approach. Losses reduced. Shares condsolidated recently. Now Richoux
