MTV

Bulletin Board Moron of the Week Contest (4/2016) & last week's winner an MTV Moron

Will today's suspension of shares in Motive TV (MTV) stop the morons who own this stock from dreaming about the golden tickets they own? Will administration stop them? Truly in the land of the morons these fellows are the uber-morons and so last week's contest winner came from among this flock of loons. You can see the full raft of delusion (with Worthington shareholders again featuring) HERE.

  1. Can I submit YOU Tom for your constant assertions that Horse Hill was a non starter?

    Bearing in mind the Flow results we got today?

    Ah, and why did you block me on twitter? Other than casting doubt on a few things I have never actually been rude I don’t think. free Speech huh?

    TW. I block folk who insult me. You can tweet what you want but Im not obliged to have to read your shite

    Troyska, I don’t think there’s any doubt that there’s oil in the Kimmeridge. What this investment has always been about is commercial viability. This is an area of the UK with just about the highest density of Stockbrokers, Queen’s Counsellors and such ilk. The merest hint of commercial drilling for oil underneath their potting sheds (Sorry, that should of course read “their GARDENERS’ potting shed” will see the biggest outburst of nimbyism we’ve ever witnessed. It’ll make fracking look like wildcatting.
    I’m absolutely sure that, over the next few days and on the strength of this report, the shareprice will rise. I’m really sure of it. Now, good luck to you here, Troyska, but will you have the nous to know when to fold, or will you, like so many, start off the old mantra, “I’m in this for the long haul”; which for so many AIMS investors really means “the long drop”.

    Telematics
    Today 08:45

    My filter list is growing but it makes for a more pleasant read of this board.

    The reason I bought shares in this company is for the telematics which I believe has future rewards to reap. I intended to keep the shares long term so I am not overly concerned that I am down somewhat. Hopefully they will be picking up over the next couple of years with good management plans in place.

    From Afriag on ADVFN:

    dogruner11 15 Feb’16 – 19:09 – 881 of 882 0 0

    It seems this is a very solid company with good intelligent people behind it and honest and transparent approach. No doubt at this level price is low enough and once on a different market this will rocket and mega fold.


  6. Russ O'Callaghan

    Drunken Sailor, I’m not at all sure what a “dogruner” is, are you? It’s not a faster version of a dogwalker, is it? Because that would be a dogRUNNER. I reckon it’s something to do with Viking canines. Anyway, you cannot have that one as your MOTW, can you? Why not? Because he’s actually spot-on with both predictions: it’s “rocketed” in the past and now it’s “mega folded”. So there you go.


  7. Drunken Sailor

    Russ,

    I checked his posting history to ensure he was not a bear taking the piss (as was the case for the previous 2 weeks before last week’s winners). And sure enough he runs with all the dog shares.

    I was robbed last week. My MTV moron could not even work out what his 5M shares would be worth at a totally ludicrous 1p. He even bought more just before the bell on Fri. He still has not worked out that even if he owned all the shares in MTV, his entire holding is now worth 0p.

    As for my entry this week you have to give me credit for:

    “very solid company”

    “good intelligent people”

    “honest and transparent approach”

    “once on a different market this will rocket” not has rocketed in the past, plus they are already on ISDX and are just giving up their AIM listing to avoid being booted off.

    “mega fold” is accurate, but is a product of moronic English as opposed to genuinely meant prediction.

    Give me a break, I have to win this competition one week and so far the only other real entry is pretty weak by comparison.


  8. Russ O'Callaghan

    DS. You tinker you! he actually IS called “dogrunner”! I thought it was HIS spelling mistake and it’s YOUR’s!
    :-)
    Mind you, his posting is still so daft that he’s either doing it tongue in cheek or you’re definitely onto this week’s winner!


  9. Drunken Sailor

    Russ,

    Straight cut and paste from ADVFN. He is a genuine BBM.

    I am stirring up the BBMs on the ADVFN EDEN board at the moment to see if I can get a better one – plenty of denial, but nothing sufficiently moronic yet.

    I could try the LSE asylum but that would be too easy as they are nearly all complete retard there.


  10. Drunken Sailor

    From ADVFN EDEN board:

    supersonico 18 Feb’16 – 18:31 – 555 of 555 0 0

    I find it interesting that all the recent l3.3m shares sold by a EIS fund were bought by a multitude of institutional investors, some big names I hear who would have done a good bit of due diligence before buying.

    These investors I assume either would be aware or made aware of the allegations being made by TW and chose to ignore them.

  11. Chris Oil incriminating himself with a threat of violence yesterday on Twitter is a definite contender…

    Chris Oil ‏@chrisoil 17 hrs17 hours ago
    TW Mother bashing piece of shit if i see you in street i will kick the brains out of you


  12. Russ O'Callaghan

    Drunken Sailor, yes, I do agree. I suspect that that “very solid company” stuff and “honest and transparent” might even be the work of a working-from-home paid ramper trying to work a short-term pump ‘n dump. They don’t sound like the sort of phrases that crop up spontaneously on the bulletin boards, do they? More like board-room-inspired hype on an investors’ hand-out. You know, “Mission Statement” bulls**t.
    Bullfly: good catch. It’s not just the kind of stuff that wins MoTW, it’s the kind of balanced, witty Churchillianesque quip that get you in court nowadays! He is a star act.
    I’ve given up this week. All I can find is just widespread desperation, no overconfident wild rantings at all. You’re all leaving me doggy-paddling in the water.

    I want some of what this DAN LSE arsehole is smoking.

    indigopot

    Price: 1.20
    DAN
    Today 21:05

    There is some negativity on here which is understandable. However, having contacted DAN recently, I can confirm that DAN have not disappeared. Rather, I understand that:

    That business is improving with a growing pipeline of work
    That they are currently considering a number of different options including both a listing on a stock exchange or on a matched bargain service and will update in due course once a decision has been reached.

    It would also appear that various shorters, desperate to close out short positions, are spreading negative rumours (in the same way as they spread rumours about Quindell going to zero before it rocketed to 130p) and suggesting ridiculously low prices in order to scare private investors. I would strongly suggest ignoring such parties. If you look at GATE Ventures, which appeared to be a fraudulent company, then it can be seen that the share price rose very significantly after delisting. The reason for this was that shorters needed to close out and had to pay whatever price was demanded by buyers. May I ask why shorters might be trying to scare private investors before the shares are relisted and trying to do off-market deals? The only logical reason is that they want to close out before the market re-opens because they are scared of having to pay much more. When the market re-opens, if holders hold then the shorters will burn. I understand (I cannot present this as fact, as I do not work at the company) that business is improving with new clients being taken on and the RNS of January supports this, as do Rob Terry’s various remarks (I very much doubt that if he is being investigated by the SFO that he would be stating outright lies, and pumping millions of his own money in to buy more shares off market before the shares list again). In time, one would think that the share price should rise as business improves. So, we have a situation as follows:

    Shorters desperate to close their positions off-market before trading resumes
    Rob Terry increasing his position to the maximum possible off-market before trading resumes
    A third party buying significant numbers of shares off market from Rob Terry at 3.35p
    A positive forward-looking trading announcement about improving pipelines of work from the company
    Very supportive shareholders putting in more money

    What would this suggest? I do not present this as fact but looking at this it would appear that the company is poised for growth (quite possibly strong growth with additional work from major shareholders and new clients), with shorters desperate to get out and RT trying to buy as much as possible to profit from this growth.

  14. PhiloBeddoe on WRN Sunday 21st Feb just in time for the deadline

    The two things i’m absolutely convinced of are the £1.3 Billion plus NAV figure is still on; and that the model entails “add value FIRST, increase the number of shares in issue LATER” – which means we will resume trading with a tiny number of shares in issue in conjunction with a gigantic NAV. Factor in the huge interest, multi listings etc and the best really is yet to come, anything up to +5000% profit (or more).

    The model is not “dilute first, add value later” although the trolls clearly wish it was.

    Yeah Yeah – This absolute zoomer should learn that however many shares are in issue is irrelevant as any number times zero = fuck all.

    100 posts today from the limited gene pool and most of them would qualify for a mention.
