More than a scintilla now! With the big seller seemingly out of the way, a few small purchases are pushing the price nicely ahead. Nice too to see the house broker, for a change, leading the pack.

More evidence today of big blocks of shares changing hands. The bid price moved up a penny too. So not all have lost the faith. Another scintilla of hope, maybe!

[jeffian] 22/6/2004 21:37

Let's hope so, Orange1.

Ian

1 director (Kitchner), one connected person (Altschuler - also a substantial shareholder) and one other substantial shareholder (ex-Chairman Gordon) each picked up 50k.
A modest attempt to bolster the share price? I see it as follows: you have said that there is a seller in the market. The MMs are not going to take that seller's shares on for their own account. The price has been dropped but there have been precious few buyers. So someone went round the market this morning offering 533k shares. These found a home at a price identical to the sale price 20.25p.
150k of those shares went to Kitchner, Gordon and Altschuler, the rest to another buyer or buyers. It appears that the MMs may have taken 10024 shares as commission the differencce between the amount sold 533k and the amount bought 522976.
Were the directors bolstering the share price? Well indirectly I suppose if they are helping to clear out a seller. The disappearance of that seller, if indeed that seller had been totally cleared out, should of itself lead to the price rising as and when buyers return and providing that there are no other sellers.

In any event the fact that there were apparently other buyers out there at 20.25p apart from the gang of three must be seen as a positive.

This is yet another of my long term holds!!

IMHO the news can only be good and I therefore expect the price to increase from here.

[jeffian] 22/6/2004 19:30

Hmmm....! After-hours announcement tonight that a Director and major shareholder have each picked up another 50,000 shares might, on the face of it, herald good news, but I'm becoming so cynical about this company's ability to do what it says, that it could equally just be a modest attempt to bolster the share price (only £11,250 each invested, after all) or hoovering up stock from another disillusioned seller to prevent further downward pressure. Be interesting to see what the market makes of it in the morning.

No names given for those licencing CV 4 but as far as the important Texas contract is concerned my money is on the Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple.



And not any old hospital either. This from the "About us" section of their website:

"A reputation for excellence nationwide.

Through their commitment to patient care, education and research, the dedicated physicians of Scott & White have built a nationally acclaimed health care organization, recognized by organizations that include U.S. News & World Reports and Newsweek, with a reputation for excellence in cancer, orthopedics and cardiovascular care. Scott & White Memorial Hospital is listed among the "Top 100 Hospitals" in America for cardiovascular, stroke and orthopedics care and the Scott & White Health Plan has consistently been recognized among the highest rated health plans for member satisfaction."

Two different people traded very similar numbers 9 seconds apart.
Only by prior arrangement.
These are a pair.
2.5% is steep but might well include Stamp duty and brokers fees.
{but not a broker you'd recommend if that's the best they can do}
Somebody realising a tax loss in anticipation of a price recovery and buying most of them back in the cat's name.

[day_dreamer] 03/6/2004 15:13

Fair enough Orange...sounds good enough to me :-))

[orange1] 03/6/2004 13:14

Not sure I buy that one daydreamer because:

There has been no purchase of that no. of shares in the past weeks.
4079 shares represents a commission rate of around 2.5% - damn steep for a rollover.
Why 4079 shares and not a nice round number?

My own view is that it is possible that one of the transactions was a sell and the other a buy but if so we are talking about 2 different people.

[day_dreamer] 03/6/2004 11:24

My guess on those large trades was a rollover and the commission
was paid with a few shares Orange....4079 to be exact :-))

Evidence now of institutional size holdings changing hands. Don't know if that means that the seller has finished selling though.

[day_dreamer] 03/6/2004 09:28

It's get there Orange but all they are doing is widening the
spread, strange action by Evo to move upto 21p bid and then
drop in a few seconds to 20.5p ?!?

Gravy

[orange1] 03/6/2004 08:36

Would have expected a bigger bounce on today's news which is pretty good: after all 375k is more than half last year's licence sales. But then if there is a big seller in the market who is still looking to sell despite today's news then that would explain the dampener on the price.

[day_dreamer] 03/6/2004 08:05

L2 not bad at 3 bid 1 offer but spread wide at 20-22p

[brugha] 03/6/2004 07:53

see XTL has delivered the bacon(sorry) this morning as predicted.

HOpe you all climbed aboard.

Best those who didn't listen don't take a jaundiced view. LOL

Green with envy?

It is not too late

Sorry for the awful puns :))

[day_dreamer] 03/6/2004 07:52

Should be a good rebound in the share price although pre-market
it's only up a penny although Evo were keen to go higher but wins
wouldnt budge, the price has dropped sharply suggesting bad news
was coming but it's good news, not earth shattering but still it's
good news and the price was saying the opposite.

And, not before time, some encouraging and very welcome news:

3 June 2004



Clinical Computing Plc

Overseas Contract Gains


Clinical Computing Plc ("Clinical Computing" or the "Company"), the
international developer of clinical information systems for the healthcare
market, announces it has signed two contracts in the US and that it has been
selected as software vendor to a multi-party tender in New Zealand alongside the
subsidiary of a Swedish multi-national company.


The contracts are to supply the Company's new Clinical Vision ("CV4") software
to the renal dialysis market and are worth a total of approximately #375,000.
Both US contracts further extend Clinical Vision's coverage of the US renal
market into the states of California and Texas. The Texas account is a
multi-centre provider that is migrating to Clinical Vision from the Company's
legacy product di-PROTON.

In New Zealand, Clinical Vision was selected as the preferred software solution,
providing the Company with its first site outside of the UK and US for CV4.

Commenting Jack Richardson, CEO of Clinical Computing, said: "Each of these
contracts provide sales momentum and will accelerate Clinical Vision's position
in the renal software market as a leading clinical software product."

I have been hearing the same, that there is a large seller who has been knocking out shares every day which has crippled the shre price.

We should look forward to a significant bounce once this seller has been cleared.

If contracts start to come through these shares look cheap

[orange1] 01/6/2004 09:22

You're right! How silly of me not to think of it.
At last an indication that one person at least has faith in the company's prospects.

[day_dreamer] 01/6/2004 09:00

How about a delayed rollover orange ?

lol

Gravy

[orange1] 01/6/2004 08:57

Don't know - but I do know that if I were the first purchaser I would be feeling a bit peed off at the price I had to pay: 20.75p. The second purchaser got theirs at 20.4p so that means he got his 2 shares for 0.7p cheaper than the first!

[day_dreamer] 01/6/2004 08:23

Is that some kind of morse share code then :-))

2 x 2 shares purchased !

Gravy

[orange1] 27/5/2004 17:46

Thanks Ian.
The only surprise I guess is that they are even trying. Can't be easy. Seems from looking at L2 that Evo are involved in some way and that the shares are finding a home but naturally at some cost to the share price.

Have you any suggestions as to where that fund (and others) might reinvest its proceeds?!

Orange1

[jeffian] 27/5/2004 16:54

Orange1,
What I am hearing is that one of the funds which stumped up for the recent fundraising at 40p has got the hump and wants out.
