rpalmer. It does seem like I managed to close my NXT position in time, before the volatility today, but I still like NXT and once results are out and I see just how well they are progressing, and when I become cash liquid again I will be back. As for now Alternative Networks does look promising.

Ithink you may of made a good decision investing here Topinfo with the games we have had today with NXT.

Im still researching Alternative before making a trade.

[topinfo] 21/2/2005 22:44

Tradx...Definitely. Last thing we want is Katie Price and her crew coming over here and getting a one day wonder rise followed by a steap decline when its ramped and de-ramped. A steady increase in the share price will do me fine and a bit of news along the way.

TOPINFO,

I agree, looks like just you and me here for the time being - always a good sign for me lately!!

LOL!!

Be lucky

Steady day, about 350k shares traded, most of which look like buys. Steady is fine, at least we did not get taken down by profit takers. Im so very excited about this stock that it will be a while before I decide to sell and take profits...Not that I am making any yet !!

2BOB,

As always with looking at the trades data, I'm not sure that what you see, is what you get - so to speak, the price action shows the tale, and one first listed the price data is notoriously unreliable as to what is really the position - the next week or so should tell the tale..

I think you will find that the founders have a lock-in period, I estimate the free float at only 30%....and it was suggested to me that there was an awful lot more that didn't get what they wanted..

Quiet today, and I suspect it will stay that way for a few days until the Nomads give the market a better view?

we will see..

regards

Looking at the trade data for Friday it "looks" like the MM's took on a lot of stock (~4m) at 120 & 122p. So why so confident of a rise? Will it not take a little bit of time for that stock to work its way through the market? Also do you not expect a bit more stock offloading by the founder shareholders or did that all take place Friday? I note there are only 2 MM's - their NOMAD plus WINS.

What is the free float on this stock ie number of shares not locked in or owned by company employees?

[topinfo] 20/2/2005 20:35

Tradx...No problem at all mate, more than one thread all the better for coverage. I will bet we see another dramatic rise again 2moro !!!

[tradx666] 20/2/2005 16:48

TOPINFO,

sorry, didn't bother to look properly to see if somebody had already started a thread - so, my apologies! I have been tracking them since before they came to the market, and I am also aware of them via my contacts at VOD...I think they could easily see £2 - £3 within 12 months from what I am told about their goals and 'targets' - as always we will see..

KIS,

Good to see you here! Hopefully, you will take the plunge if you become convinced!

regards

Tradx,

Had a quick initial look at their website and impressed by their record to date. Needs some more research on my part, but I see why you are interested. Thanks for the link.

Keepit

Im in too. Had a look at this company before the flotation, based on their current turnover and profits the mkt cap seems very cheap and they could quickly race away over a couple of quid, without news. They have deals ongoing with some of the leading network providers including Vodafone.

NXT has made me some deent cash of late but it seems stuck in a trading range at present. I am also a bit nervous ahead of results, the market is still in the habit of punishing poor results or neg updates. I am pretty sure NTX will not have any nasty surprises and I may well miss out on another rally if they are good, but thats a chance Im prepared to take whilst I hopefully reap rewards from this newly floated company which was heavily oversubscribed.

[tradx666] 19/2/2005 10:21

With strong underlying growth, smart management and cash resources for solid acquisitions could this be candidates for a fast re-rating?

Thoughts welcomed - I have taken a reasonable stake.

Regards
