LoneWolf Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Does anyone know if any of the Co's mentioned are IOM or IOM-related? Wouldnt think there is anything sinister about stopping trading on AIM. Its quite a frequent occurrence, nature of the beast and all that. How many of them are start ups ? I have a punt on AIM occasionally not with much success though up to now !

manxchatterbox Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 There is nothing wrong with some co's being suspended if it stops investors being burnt.. Thing is.. are any of the co's mentioned connected with the IOM and which might reflect badly on the ability of IOM being used as the HO of co's that want to float on AIM...

Declan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Are you (MCB) licking a lollipop to see what flavour it is? Or is there any tangible point to all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 MCB, not had first hand experience of trying to get a listing (although I am aware of a nascent business that is eventually hoping to get a listing), but I don't think it is as easy and issuing a prospectus, hey bingo, a listing. Preparing a prospectus in itself can be along complicated process, often involving legal and accounting input. AIM is intended to be a capital market for less established/innovative businesses and so is more volatile and possibly risky. To answer your specific questions re AIM quoted companies, you should get onto the AIM website which I am sure will have alot of info for you.

The idea is to start a vague rumour that something may be a bit fishy about something - then find/suggest/invent a local connection and sit back while everyone else digs out the facts. If you're proved wrong, it really doesn't matter - because by that time there'll be so many other flags run up poles that no one will notice.

Gladys Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Oh I have the measure of MCB alright, just sometimes when the posts are so obviously contrived to point to some IOM connection that can only be alluded to, I like to reply playing a straight bat and other times I like to throw a googly. Just depends on how irritating the domination of the Forums by MCB's drivel is at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Should I have said throwing a straight bat and playing a googly? Even I, with my encyclopeadic knowledge of cricket (which can be set down on any postage stamp), know that the metaphors were unmixed, just had two of them!

Gladys Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Lone Wolf, even I know that you can do both during a match, but you can't do both at the same time! (Played rounders, see?) Which is why I gave the alternative. So not mixed metaphors, just two in the same theme. A mixed metaphor is when there are two metaphors (of the same meaning) which you mix up, strangely enough. Such as, "plenty more fish on the beach". Small point, but one worth making, .... I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
