Re: Dot Boston We do have some idea of what they received net for passing and I agree there are a lot of 'management games' going on in the industry. Hard to know how to value the company.

Re: Dot Boston Red Flag agreed. However, Henderson's obviously approve and they own 22%.We never found out what they paid for names or what they actually received for passing on auctions, seems the industry doesn't want anyone to know exactly how much these are worth at today's prices.

Dot Boston Acquisition with no financials mentioned. Not a good sign of management transparency, that's a red flag in my book.

whose 2m do we keep buying when are we going to know who is selling and maybe why. Think it all has to do with Fred's departure earlier this year.Any other ideas

todays volume Has been extremely low, maybe the share buy back is on hold today or there are no (few) sellers about. Hopefully the buy back will start effecting the sp in a positive way now, it has made no difference in the sp yet, which I find quite strange...

Re: Looks like Henderson has sold out...... They are not very friendly but they are relatively straightforward if you look at the key element - the before and after numbers.In this case as with others recently the report is indicating that no shares have been bought or sold by the party making the disclosure but their %age interest in the company has increased as a result if shares being bought and cancelled.

Re: Looks like Henderson has sold out...... Mmm I see what you are getting at. How does the voting rights increase through 20% when the shares now held has no value entered? Or is this a typo?

Re: Looks like Henderson has sold out.... How do you work that out. The rns clearly says the Henderson holding has risen to above 20% even after the closure of the cfd..

Looks like Henderson has sold out.... We know Hendersons held 45,277,483. The RNS this morning indicates 45,277,483 shares have been purchased under the buy-back . Logic suggests Henderson has sold out.

Re: . London update .. ihe domains Stats Spin? .London Renewal At 75.4% For Sunrise, Landrush & 1st Day DomainsNOVEMBER 13, 2015 BY MICHAEL BERKENS 1 COMMENT7a04f559ff116ef2f9008e6e846706e928a128bcThe .London registry along with Minds + Machines (LSE:MMX)) announced today that the renewal rates for .London domain names “exceeded expectations by reaching 75.4%.”However that “renewal rate is for a total of 38,389 names applied for during the Dot London combined Sunrise and Landrush period as well as the first day of General Availability, registered between August 19th and September 9th 2014.”All domain renewals have passed their grace periods.”Domain names acquired in Sunrise are by trademark holders. In Landrush people paid an extra fee to get early access to domain names prior to them becoming available on a first come, first served basis known as General Availability .Renewal rates for domains registered in Sunrise, in Landrush and on the first day of General Availability tend to have a higher renewal rate than domains registered after as they are of a high quality.In the same press release Dot London says:“There are over 70,000 registered domain names”‘However according to NameStat.org which takes into account all expired domain names, there are just over 60,000 .London domain names, meaning that the real renewal rate for .London is quite lower than the announced 75.4% rate.ntldstats.com is also showing almost 9,200 .London domain names in the upcoming delete cycle as well making the announcement of a “renewal rate” premature. Most registries like Verisign for .Com announce their renewal rate for all domain names registered that wind up getting deleted..Com traditional renewal rates are around 73% but that is for a full cycle, looks like .London is about to lose another 9K+ domain names that were registered after Sunrise, Landrush and the 1st day of GA.[link]

Re: . London update .. domainwire Renewal rates for new TLDs so farBY ANDREW ALLEMANN — NOVEMBER 13, 2015Renewal rates seem to be in line with previous TLD launches.Dot London revealed its initial renewal rates today, reporting that 75.4% of the domain names registered during sunrise, landrush and day one of general availability were renewed.That means just shy of 29,000 of the 38,389 registrations were renewed.Renewal rates for domain names registered during sunrise and landrush are generally higher than other registrations. The same can usually be said for domain names registered on the first day of general availability.Last week Rightside revealed overall renewal rates of 67% so far across its portfolio of TLDs. It expects full year renewal rates to be between 50% and 67%.Donuts, which offers more TLDs than any other registry by far, stopped reported renewal rates after initial numbers came in between 55% and 72%. The company had predicted renewal rates of 80%, and it seems that actual results came in well below that.Based on other third party calculations I’ve seen, I believe most TLDs are seeing renewal rates between 50% and 70% over time.New TLD registries will point out that first year renewal rates for .com are about 50%.I suspect renewal rates range dramatically based on TLD affinity, pricing and promotional deals.[link]
