[m3sye]

Anyone in here really big into shares if so would like to speak to you about a company to pick your brain on if you think its a good bet or not.

Thanks

sorry missed that lol

netplay tv

a goof friend of mine knows the director well and he is buying ALOT of shares and advising to do the same .. but im always a bit careful with things like this

[limpsfield]

they've dropped by about 60% since July which would worry me a bit personally - but no one's got a crystal ball.

Yes I have seen that.. worried me also but they are also very low at the mo so that can be a good time.
From what I hear he has said they will be at £1 before the end of the year. He is very good at making business's work as he just chucks lots of £££ at them.

however they have risen after moving in to profit (always a good idea!!)

Check out www.advfn.com for info. and gossip..

I'll try to remember and have a read tomorrow..

I worked at a company where (currently in the FTSE 250, or was!!) the CEO said a similar thing... The SP did rise after that, but then fell back 90%.. The price can go up and down.. of course...

Netplay, EPIC NPT. Is listed on AIM.. It did announce two dividends, two years ago.. Nothing since, afaik. They seem to have got rid of a load of debt, which is always good.

SP High to Low is 48.25 to 14, currently at 17. (52 week period). They did spike to over 80 in early 2005..

Market Cap 11.52M

Turnover : 12.62 (Dec 2006)

Profit : 1.71 (pre tax)

They seem to be maintaining a 13.54% profit.. over the past two years reported, prior to that it was 14 and 11%... So not too shabby.


All of this is historical - so need to dig out any RNSes and see if anything is likely to make it rise...

see : http://www.netplaytv.com/

Could be interesting "In November 2007, we secured the domain name www.Supercasino.com"

At the moment it seems to be Bingo and Roulette.. Although they mention expanding on this.

"The company has extended its reach on TV, adding both Virgin and Freeview to the existing access through Sky, giving entre to over 24 million TV-owning homes throughout the UK."

Not my kind of thing, but certainly seems to be an area that is hotting up...

I don't hold any of these, but might add a few to my Fool Sharebuilder account..

DYOR all IMHO!

No advice intended!

Nice spread.....only 12.5% to break even (Plus a bit more to account for stamp duty and transaction costs.)

I'm not sure how viable the actual business model is and how much demand there is for the service. What sort of time scale were you looking at investing for? It could take a while to actually see some profit from this - i'd say there were better opportunities available.

It's ok - I won't go into it.

Just think there are better things than speculative penny shares with a large spread.

You want me to remove it then? I'll do so with pleasure. You've got to take the ups with the downs. I'm ok with it as it's only short term and i'm holding at a price somewhere around 40% below current market price. What percentage do you want to give me?

[clubsport]

Gary, thanks for the trading lesson..I honestly thought I would buy some and they would instantly go straight up in price, is this the no pain no gain thing I have heard of?.....Appreciate the tip, but far too speculative to fall into the free money camp for me...cheers

They will by the end of the week - you just need a bit of patience in this game. I removed it anyway for fear of being labelled a ramper.

I hope you bought, you'd already be up around 5% already and there's plenty more where that came from. I'll Email you my address to send my cut to.
