Once the market realises the implications for Ascribe being nominated a preferred supplier to the NPfIT then the sp,imho, will move rapidly northwards.
Ascribe are increasing their staff numbers by appointing a further 10 software developers because of the anticipated demand.I have just thrown away the key to my bottom drawer!

Lol. I didn't see it, but it's certainly attracted a few meaty buyers in the past 1/2 hour or so since it was shown.

Just one man left at 62p...

[via con] 21/3/2007 12:10

Yep, he ought to go on telly more often.

[currypasty] 21/3/2007 12:03

Lol. Good lad! :-)

[hugepedlar] 08/3/2007 11:32

Thanks. Managed to get some at 51.9 when the spread changed. Looking forward to results day. BTW we use iSoft's products where I work, which is why I'm investing in other suppliers. ;)

[nomad70] 08/3/2007 11:23

hugepedlar -- because the marketmakers are short of stock. That's why I bought a shed load 3/4 weeks ago. Results are due on 21st March.

If you get your broker to ring the marketmakers direct, you should easily be able to get hold of 10,000 from KBC, or 5000 off CNKS -- however level two is firming as I type. Hurry!

[currypasty] 08/3/2007 11:19

stock is a little tight !

NOW 51 - 52

[hugepedlar] 08/3/2007 10:52

CP, yeah and Barclays won't let me buy for some reason... Anyone know what this means?
