    The Bricks -9591 instructions as of today .The 10,000 barrier was in sight in August but has now faded away and it looks as if a ceiling has been hit well short of the levels required to hit profit.The Lettings side hasnt kicked off at all with a miserly 394 instructions

    Looks like another cash call on the horizon.The next few days will be interesting on the exchanges to see  whether the  deep pockets of the founding fathers  will intervene to shore up the price or whether  this cliff falls

    CWD a short raly methinks  How are they ever going to eat into that £300m+ debtpile.They just sold the last of the family silver with the Zoopla shares  All that expensively bought turnover from gobbling  up other practices which has a habit of disappearing out the back door especially when you close offices

      Quick…this is awful, we need to start PurpleAID for the Purpleones. On today’s price, the company is only worth £267m down from £330m earlier this year. How could the stock market do that to a company with 1 HQ and lots of virtual estate agents, a tv ad and a big loss!

        could have a chat with GlaxoSmithKline and see if they want to buy it. Why ?

        Cos they own the other market offering

        Don’t suppose the owners are ‘bricking it’ because they will have made their money by now surely…even if it were to implode.

        Anybody out there want to join up to form ‘Intergalactic homes’. I have this plan to use black holes to conquer the universe of property sales. We cant lose…because we will be bigger and more far reaching than anyone else. We just need some believers/backers and a cunning exit strategy before before the black holes outnumber the properties. Simples.
