Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
It ia hard to be mean to anyone today given how splendid Greece is looking, how warm it is and how relaxed I feel. But if you insist...it is time to take a detailed look at Coms. I also cover bear squeezes, Quindell, Beacon Hill and African Minerals

Nice work Tom, seems the morons on Coms have a lot in common with the ones on QPP, its called DENIAL, it makes the truth more bearable. Posted there today, they just don’t get it. Both companies have gone the same way, all be it for different reasons, unfortunately companies I was invested in, but at least wiser and not in DENIAL. Enjoy your time in Greece, and appreciate your honesty, and integrity, in short supply these days. I won’t say Rock on Tom, OH dear. freudian slip.

I am very much hoping that it is just a statement of fact!

Psycoinvesting
4PeteSake of LSE BB is one of the ‘Strong Buy’ who has absolutely shown no humility in the downward spiral of COMS. 4PeteSake was the original creator of the ‘COMS SP at end of 2014’ and would go on the complete defensive if anyone went below even 20p! He has put STRONG BUY on every single one of his posts ever since the highs of around 11p. But this is not the danger of listening to the COMS board. There is one other the self confessed ‘Sheriff of COMS Board’ ERV1. She is more dangerous because she thinks she actually knows about investing. ERV1 now preaches ‘psychology’ on the board and if you decide to question COMS, your a ‘psyco’ or have another ‘mental’ issues.
I would say using this forum that both have used the LSE asylum to attack your business when you drive a bear case against COMS. I would also add they ‘are in it for 5 years’. They do not mind the share price falling from 11p to 2.odd pence because ‘they are not traders..they are investors’
Kenny100 also one to attack bearish comments on COMS BB but bearing in mind this guy is also ‘invested’ in QPP! That says everything about how good this ‘investor’ is.
Here is his last response
TW would appear to be repeating information that he getting information from people then adding 2+2 and getting the wrong answer.
The fact is that if he wanted to he could pick up the phone and speak to DB but fails to do so and instead come out with total garbage.
There is NO WAY IN THE WORLD THAT COMES WOULD HAVE A FUND RAISE AT THIS SORT OF SHARE PRICE.
Seen the cartoon, “Where’s Wally”? He is in Greece.’

Did you actually speak to david breith of coms and put forward your concerns?
As for thr last poster on above – get a life

Tom,
You going to go in any further in detail as DB has apparently come out and rebuffed everyone of your accusations in a phone call to one of the LSE BB members.
Waiting for obvious verification of that phone call (however dubious) but it has rebuffed the notion of a placement and the early payment of CTP?
Be very interesting to hear more of your views on the short term movement?

The fact that Coms makes a paltry profit as a % of sales is FACT – see last results.
If Breih wants to clarify net current assets position I’d encourage him to do so via an RNS rather than via a member of the LSE Asylum – it cannot be that strong can it?

You have Dave Breith’s phone number. Rather than listening to inaccurate gossip and putting your own spin on it, perhaps you could tell us why you don’t just pick up the phone and talk to him. You were wrong about the CTP payment, you are wrong about there needing to be a placing so please do you homework and get you information from the horses mouth. However following your lambasting of DB and his company I could fully understand it if he no longer wished to speak with you.
cjm
Oh agreed. Margins are low. But I can’t see the sp any lower. Breith stated that the overdraft hasnt been used and he explained to you I read that the ctp payment was early so I can’t see that as a negative thing?
Might be a very good entry point? If margins were to improve?

From the last interims, margins have increased by another 2% in the second half of the year.
