Re: [sharechat] 42 Below - alcohol poison

If anyone still cares.....

Attached is a quote from a Direct Broking email i just recieved offering 
sage advice about investing in 42B. Makes me want to go out and buy ;)

Dear, oh, dear. Dorchester shareholders beter hope the news is good. Direct 
broking could end up being the JBWere of 2003 if it turns sour (remember 
Vertex float and Tranzrail sale of Fay & Richwhite holding. phew, they were 
stinkers).

42 BELOW FTB.NZ
We were perplexed at the performance of the 42 BELOW, with selling taking 
the stock down to the low 30's.

There are a number of reasons that can be given for the fall, but the market 
is the market, and only time will tell if the sellers are right or wrong. 
The point we wish to make is that 42 BELOW represents one of the few 
opportunities the NZ market has had to invest in a growth stock at the early 
stages of its development.

Hold pending evidence of NZ and International sales momentum, particularly 
in the US. We believe that the HY Sept 03, due shortly should give the 
market some guidance as to whether the company's sales strategy is working 
or not.

>>As one who did post a warning on this float I will not gloat with

>>Firstly, let's ask the question, who purchased this 'oversubscribed scaled

>>stock. When it is talked up to the degree Dorchester and the FTB directors
>>talked it and then plummets like no other float that I can remember,

>>This example offers little confidence to uninitiated investors. The NZX
>>needs to come out and explain (the directors wont, they're too busy sewing
>>dresses and sails) why investors have lost at least 20% of their 
>>investment
>>in just a few trading days. It appeared to get propped up on Friday after
>>going minus 40% yet looks southbound again. I suspect Gaynor (Herald) is 
>>on
>>to it now but where is the NZX for comment?
>>
>>To those who were suckered by the sex appeal of the float promotion, I
>>suggest you can put it down to good old experience. Maybe your decision 
>>was
>>vodka impaired. Piddling your money into pumped up penny stocks is a 
>>deadly
>>business unless you are a very experienced and decisive trader. I'm sure
>>there is not a single institution or serious investor who looked past the
>>glossy outer image on this one. The register will soon tell.

>>As for the original stakeholders, well I don't bemoan the original
>>stakeholders a reasonable profit but when they are issued shares at less
>>than 1 cent (see NZX announcement excerpts below) and then ask the market
>>for 50 cents (less warrants value) you have got to ask, is this 
>>reasonable.
>>
>>The answer is no. A lot of genuine investors just got themselves fleeced 
>>by
>>some South Island sheep rustlers in designer swandris. The greatest value
>>added to this company is from the cash injected by recent subscribers. 
>>It's
>>a good lesson for us all and an opportunity to bookmark some names ( the
>>directors & Dorchester) for the future.
