A directors transfer confirms a long term vote of confidence or stupidity - lets give him the benefit of the doubt.

[safman] 05/9/2006 13:58

Some MM's trades don't show on ADVFN.

[outsider] 04/9/2006 09:28

probably on plus markets volume

[cambium] 04/9/2006 08:56

It could be on Virt-x which is another board

[mctmct] 04/9/2006 08:54

I bought 200,000 at the end of last week. Any idea why the purchase doesn't show in the record of trades?

[2magpies] 09/8/2006 23:24

'golden cross' formed on the charts: rising 50 day MA crosses a rising 200 day MA.

Suggest a major turning point.

[2magpies] 07/8/2006 08:53

Well, if it stays here, this will become a chart breakout!

Which would be nice.

Looks good for a further jump north to 6p initially

[outsider] 03/8/2006 16:33

Was it 275,000 bght yesterday?

250,000 today

21% up on a bad day.

A leopard cannot change its spots.......

[badabing] 01/8/2006 11:05

well I see it hasn't taken that single MM very long to drag the price right back down again........and that's why PIs should be very wary of touching anything like this.....

[red army] 27/7/2006 14:10

If you are an investor then why worry about how many mm's there are - it is only relevant if you are a trader when you need to buy or sell quickly.
Did the Director buying worry about how many mm's there are? - I don't think so.

[2magpies] 27/7/2006 12:40

If my memory serves me right, more than ten years ago, CRL was paying a dividend of 6p!!

If dividends are resumed (which is possibly, not THAT far away), more buyers will emerge, and more MMs will play. Chnaces are that more interest from investors will be generated in anticipation of dividend resumption.

CRL is also fully listed, and not an AIM stock.

thanks tony, my take is when the fundamentals start to change more market makers are attracted, this company has £12m of sales. Winterfloods who makes the market largely control Ofex anyway & the others are just making up numbers doing hardly any trade, so not too much of a worry & I think it will change as further progress is made. As an investor on Ofex for 11 years also, the NMS is just a figure, applied to many of my Ofex investments, but I never had a problem with them, the only thing I would say is that this stock isn't a trading stock, and I wouldn't buy a 'heavy' stake, but quite happy to invest a few thousand.


Sometimes bad results you go down from 3 market makers to 1 or 2, on good results & more trade, the mm's return.

[tonyx] 26/7/2006 20:03

Hi Outsider,

Interesting turnaround story but am put off by the stock only having 1 MM & an NMS of 1K.

And they say only OFEX stocks are illiquid!!

Good luck if you have bought.

[outsider] 26/7/2006 19:53

Current year

926k Operating profit, should be 442k less = £484k + 49k non-recuring exp. cost = 533k, then add improvements as per statement, lets go just 10% = 586k, then I reckon a further 90k interest saving as loans have been cut by a massive 75% = 661k, = roughly 1.2p on a nil tax charge & prospective p/e of 3.7


On a 20% tax charge we are looking at very nearly 1p eps. and a p/e of 4.5.



Plus this is a business than 3 years ago was turning over £4m, now £12m.
