Quite agree. The Faraday effect..+..reluctant sellers. Something has to give.

Today could see another surge if the buying pressure is maintained.

It looks like the pressure of just some small buying has forced the MM's hand.

I believe they are in trouble and this is the beginning of a serious stock shortage for them.

PTO

A classic squeeze is developing, prohibiting the purchase of any sizeable quantity.

Market-makers will have to increase the bid/offer to get some decent stock on the books, and temporarily cut the NMS.

The notice of AGM has been published with an erroneous date. Wed 4th April should either read Wed 3rd April or Thu 4th April.

I have contacted PTO and left them a message as to the error.

Look at our J/V partner in China

CNPIEC:
China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Corporation (CNPIEC) is the largest and most highly-developed cultural products import and export group in China. Its product structure incorporates core businesses of import of publications, export of publications, conferences and exhibitions in China and abroad, overseas publishing, global distribution and other international trade businesses.
As the largest importer of publications into China, CNPIEC has over 10,000 domestic clients and accounts and over 60% of the domestic market for imported publications. CNPIEC enjoys exclusive rights for the import of audio-visual goods and products, and the retail of foreign periodicals in high profile venues. Based on its excellent brand reputation, CNPIEC has become the sole partner in the newsstand projects in 2008 Olympics Games, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games, and it's also an "appointed supplier" for the United Nations' book procurement. CNPIEC's Publications Bonded Warehouse is the first bonded warehouse exclusively for stocking imported publications in China.

CNPIEC is striving to create China's largest service platform for media information and materials on education, science, culture, health, economy, national defence and military services, and to turn CNPIEC Online into an internationally-leading, domestically-unrivalled platform for information services.

Exclusive rights...hmmm

How much is this company worth if a bid comes in.??

Based on a pe of 20[the sector going rate]

1M profit 12p eps £2.40p share price
2M profit 24p eps £4.80p share price
3M profit 36p eps £7.20p share price
4M profit 48p eps £9.60p share price
5M profit 60p eps £12.00 share price

Since any bidder would cut costs and blend the much reduced research bill.

Research bill 2012 £3.3M
Profit 2012 pre x £0.5M
Loan cost saving £0.3M
Staff savings £0.3M

That alone comes to over £10.00

Then add on the Chinese J/V.

PTO:

PTO hits the £2.50 closing landmark today.

Within the year i think we will see £5.00.

Based on no more than a rerating of the companies shares.

Reasons:

Growth in turnover and profit.
New contracts.
Reduced research.
Debt repayment
Poss divi.
At £10.00 a share one could even see the board agree a bid.

Faraday is indeed a well respected research company.

Arbuthnot Securities also instigated research on PTO rating it a STRONG BUY on 19 December 2011.

[tara7] 06/3/2013 19:48

PTO:

Faraday [the respected research house] has put out a buy note this morning.

The stock has been in demand all day.

The city is going to rerate this stock at super fast speed now that more research has been done by others[not me]

Have an idea the pe may hit 30 based on this years £1.3M westhouse forecast or £4.50 a share.

Investors will now want "IN" prior to the next upgrades and fast, so they do not miss the boat.

[tara7] 05/3/2013 13:01

PTO:

What we do

We develop systems to hold and administer content for publishers/information providers.


The market sees PTO as a content administer for publishers.

Infact the market of information providers must be 10,000 times larger.!!

HUGE.

[tara7] 05/3/2013 08:46

PTO:

The results were "in line" and a non event.

However we all have known that since the trading statement.

What is mindblowing is the profits we may see in he next few years.

The old products could have produced just short of £4M profit in 2012 if research had not used most of it up.

The ongoing research is going down from i think £3.£M to around £1M in the years ahead.

At the very same time the new products with high margins are growing at 60%.

The debt is also being paid down.

China will kick in next year[even now is paying its way.]

Annual Report 2012 is now on company home web page.

Worth a good read.

[professor pettigrew] 03/3/2013 21:35

Thank you MP. I am currently researching another 3 stocks which I hope will meet stringent criteria.

I will take a look at EDG and thank you for the interest.

[monkey puzzle] 03/3/2013 18:57

PP,

Not a bad portfolio so far..

Might I suggest EDG could be one worth considering for your consideration?

[professor pettigrew] 03/3/2013 17:38

[professor pettigrew] 27/2/2013 10:43

Just to remind all posters, I will be taking the closing prices of the 5 stocks in this thread on Fri 1 Mar to calculate the first valuation.

PTO:

It is so very clear to me that Amazon will not be required for more than 5 years after all they are only doing what you or I could do.

The big publishers will set up their own platform and grub out Amazon then put their prices back up.

Today so many think the game is up for them , few understand they will have their huge power back within 10 years.

PTO will be right on the spot with its software.

Not into oil and gas, but the statement is very good news for shareholders.
Pleased for investors, and a good start for this one of your five stocks.!

I refer holders to the RNS issued by the company this morning regarding increased production and break-even, ahead of schedule.
