Sorry to say, they have a hope if... Shareholders FAIL to vote for the current Board and their strategy.Because the twice convicted armed robber and the acknowledged market manipulator hold some 12% and are banking on the hundreds of private investors FAILING to bother to vote. As there are no Institutional investors to place large numbers of votes, I truly wonder if enough private investors will bother to vote. (having already written off this share under the management of the " un reliable " witness !!!! now also taking action in (possible) bad faith!One thing is for sure this will hit the headlines and the courts again .... its day light robbery!

Answers to questions There are a couple of points recently raised which I will express my opinion on. Firstly, traditional bookmakers and online exchanges do indeed compete with each other but they also target different audiences. I have been a regular bettor for over 10 years but have never been in a betting shop in my life, others (particularly older people) tend to enjoy the experience of going into betting shops, so there are different audiences. Many people such as me are effectively banned (through stake limitation) from all the main online bookmakers because of winning regularly even though I am not a professional bettor so I there is no competition for these stakes - they have to go on the exchanges. The strength of Betfair is its liquidity. If anyone is in any doubt, just check out the surge of money in the last 10 minutes before the start of a UK horse race or any UK professional football match. Outside this period there is indeed reduced liquidity but as a bettor, it has always been easier for me to place a large bet on Betfair than with an online bookmaker, even before my stakes were limited. Quite often if I wanted to put a large stake on at an online bookmaker I would need to go through an automated procedure where my stake was considered by a trader at the bookmaker and then was accepted or reduced according to what the trader thought. This normally only takes 30 seconds or so but it can be a problem if the odds are changing quickly! This problem never occurs at Betfair as you know what money is available and can always make use of it, so liquidity is a reason I like Betfair. Liquidity at Betdaq for all but the biggest events is hopeless by comparison, although it is improving. Hope these comments based on practical experience are useful. Feel free to disagree as I welcome criticism as this helps form accurate opinions about a company.

Further IC update The board of Greenko (GKO:80p), the Indian developer, owner and operator of clean energy projects, have signed non-binding heads of terms with the government of Singapore (GIC) for the sale of all of the company's shares in Greenko Mauritius for a gross cash consideration of approximately £162.8m, a sum worth 104p a share. Both GIC and Global Environment Emerging Markets Fund III LP hold shares in Greenko Mauritius which are capable of being exchanged for ordinary shares in the company with effect from 1 July 2015. If converted this would lead to Greenko's existing ordinary shareholders being significantly diluted. I outlined the implications in detail of a dilutive share issue in early summer when the share price was 55p ('A slick investment', 25 June 2015).The fact that a compromise deal has been reached is clearly positive given that negative sentiment was damaging, but there is still uncertainty as to the scale of the likely payout for shareholders in Greenko. That's because subject to shareholder approval, Greenko is in effect proposing to sell its ownership interest in the underlying business so will become a vehicle just holding cash. Should the disposal go ahead, the proceeds, net of certain Indian taxation, transaction fees and running costs, as yet to be finalised, will be returned to Greenko's shareholders as a final capital return. However, until Greenko provides greater clarity, at this stage it's impossible to quantify these likely costs. Expect news on this front in the weeks ahead.The uncertainty to the likely size of the payout to shareholders explains why the company's market capitalisation of £125m is £38m less than the agreed sale price of Greenko's interests in Greenko Mauritius. In the circumstances, I would continue to hold the shares at 80p if you followed my previous advice on the basis that my view is that the total costs incurred in this proposed disposal is likely to be far less than the aforementioned current valuation gap. Hold.

Silly article from Motley Fool today I really don't understand the value of today's Motley Fool article comparing Alliance Pharma with Glaxo SmithKline and Genus. The companies are completely different businesses with completely different strategies and Genus works in a completely different sector!
