Learning Technologies Share Discussion Threads

Technically the chart looks great. The company appear be making effective use of their unique technology in the massive brand & product & package & print business. Rumours of a contract with coca-cola are a bonus. The fact that Second Advance Value Realisation Company Limited have recently acquired a large stake is another plus. They are also expanding their business by way by setting up satellite locations. I really like the prospects for this company. I hold shares LTG. DYOR

that's a hefty delayed buy £70K worth @5.36
They are delaying these trades to make them look like sells IMHO

shuell and jimmy28

Admittedly that was a rather boisterous comment I made.

I agree about the cutting of costs and this will obviously benefit most shareholders.

But there are (presumably) quite a number of those who wish to keep their PEPs and ISAs in tact and by sticking with LTG, they'd have to sell part of their PEP/ISA. In my experience, this usually means a drop (sometimes quite hefty) in the share price.

It just didn't happen with this one.

And I got it wrong!!

Moving from main list onto Aim is not bad news - cheaper admin costs for the company, particularly for private placings, open placing and new share issues

[shuell] 29/8/2003 15:22

I'm not sure it is preceived by the market as bad news, after all, they are saving costs. Who knows in this game. As my broker says, if we were that clever, why are there not more retired brokers. I believe this is guess/gut work. Nothing more, as we don't have crystal balls.

[dontknowitall] 29/8/2003 15:05

I know we've all done that.

What I'd like to know is now I've got the hang of this game, why does the price rise on bad news after I've sold?

Normally the price drops after I sell.

:)

[shuell] 29/8/2003 14:38

Hey, we've all done that. Sold SPS at 30p just before last announcement.

[dontknowitall] 29/8/2003 14:03

Oops - sold too early.

[shuell] 29/8/2003 13:26

I have a good feeling about these. I rolled my T10's over for another T20

[dontknowitall] 28/8/2003 16:17

Thank goodness I sold this morning.

LTG Technologies plc
("Company")

Proposed move to AIM

As part of the Company's continuing review of its operations and infrastructure,
the Company announces today that it intends to transfer trading in the Company's
ordinary shares from the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority
(the "Official List") to the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock
Exchange ("AIM").

The transfer to AIM will simplify the ongoing administration and reporting
requirements of the Company with a consequential reduction in the costs
associated with having its shares listed on the Official List.

The Board believes that AIM, with its lower cost of complying with continuing
obligations, is a more appropriate market for the Company given its size and
shareholder base. The move to AIM will not impact upon the conduct of the
business nor its corporate governance.

Shareholders should be reassured that, so far as is known to the directors, with
the exception of shares held in a Personal Equity Plan or an Individual Savings
Account, the transfer to AIM will in no way affect their ability to hold shares
in the Company and existing share certificates will remain valid.

It is anticipated that the entire issued share capital of the Company will be
simultaneously cancelled from the Official List and admitted to trading on AIM
on 26 September 2003.

As an AIM company, the Company will continue to be subject to the regulatory and
disciplinary controls of the London Stock Exchange. Shareholders should note
that shares held in companies trading on AIM are treated as unquoted for the
purposes of certain tax relief's, although shareholders should seek their own
financial advice on this point.

The Company has agreed with Seymour Pierce Limited that Seymour Pierce will
become the Company's Nominated Adviser and Broker on the Company's admission to
AIM.

[addict] 18/8/2003 14:39

Wide spread has to be taken with a pinch of salt.True bid price is currently 5p.Strong buying of late.I'm looking for more!DYOR.

[addict] 15/8/2003 16:34

'R' Riskless Principal transaction at different Price
A riskless principal transaction with two non members, where the two transactions are executed at different prices or on different terms (this requires two separate trade reports). This happens often on a trade where commission is not charged. Instead of paying commission, the client will pay extra for their shares.

[dontknowitall] 15/8/2003 16:31

addict - I had to look that up too...

Riskless trade - something about paying more for shares instead of spending money on commission.

I've seen it once or twice before and it doesn't seem to make the blindest bit of difference to movement in share price.

I think the B trade and R trade are related.

But I'm not at all sure I've got this right.

[addict] 15/8/2003 16:27

mRS r,
B trade is broker to broker...what's an 'R' trade please?
Regards

[mrs robinson] 15/8/2003 16:21

Looks like hoting up with 500 R-B trade

[addict] 15/8/2003 15:20

Can't believe this is still 4.25p bid...maybe a seller lurking.

[shuell] 15/8/2003 10:48

2 on the bid, 1 on the offer

[addict] 15/8/2003 10:13

Mrs R,
Agreed-and it appears full 5p buying price now.Methinks bid will move up shortly.

[mrs robinson] 15/8/2003 09:27

Not many delayed trades
Looks like its moved up on modest volume
Suggests that there is little/no overhang from Chaas GIS disposal

[addict] 15/8/2003 09:07

DKIA,
Delayed buys appearing-always a good sign.If they can reap the reward from vast sums expended on tech development,these will rocket...if not...mmmm.
Regards

[dontknowitall] 15/8/2003 08:39

addict - I did sell, but mainly because I wasn't around that day. Easy with hindsight, but if I was around I think I'd have finished selling yesterday at 4.75p in any case..

Anyway, on to this one. I don't feel so bullish, but that's probably the only thing I know about this company is its name and share price. (At least with the other one, I knew what they made and sold!)

:)

[addict] 15/8/2003 08:27

DKIA,
Here and there..last time on WRN!Methinks you sold too soon but a profit's a profit!
This one's a bit bombed out,but huge upside,so I'm in for a punt.Adv Val Real are in,which adds some comfort.I wonder whether the recent announcement has created an overhang-I suspect so.
Regards

[dontknowitall] 15/8/2003 08:17

Hi addict.

Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

:)
