Growth potential you say?

[faro0485]

Hi there,
I just this letter from a company named arc Equities Limited saying that they believe this company - Smart Implant Holdings Plc - in their opinion "a Good opportunity to invest" since it has "growth potential".

Now this is the first time I've ever received a letter like this from any Fund management. I was wonder what I should do about it. I like to see growth potential but this is little bit too much for me.

Oh and it says that I can invest with the pre-IPO... is that legit?

Presumably, as its pre-IPO the stock isn't listed so who determines the share price? These operations reek of the otc Harvard Securities days of the late eighties. Avoid.

Grant.

These are a boob implant company.

Ask them to send you loads of before and after pictures... Then post the after pictures on here.

Seriously, as Grant says leave well alone. Your money will be tied up for ages. You might not be able to sell at a profit for a few years. These pre ipo's are notorious for making a healthy gain on theier debut, then crashing like a stone.

Definately have to keep 'abreast' of the situation:!:

Well I mostly like watching stocks and what not... but in this case I don't think I should!
