Shares in recruitment group Nakama (NAK), once called Highams and a perennial dog in the bottom tier of the AIM Cesspit, are up by 15% on news that it is to sell its ongoing businesses and become a cash shell. As ever, investors are a tad over-optimistic.
Previously writing on “recruitment consultancy working across the UK and Asia providing recruitment and related services for the web, interactive, digital media, IT and business change sectors” Nakama Group (NAK), in September with the shares lower from 0.625p I concluded the outlook didn’t look pretty and still on the list of bargepole.
