Hi NJP
I know you are a long-termer..in the last few weeks we have had a few new posters who appear to be momentum investors..only concerned at the short-term picture. I try not to post to often and when i do i like to put informative posts about contract wins and more insight into some of the larger organisations we are dealing with. I like you are happy to hold for the longer term.

Regards

Rob

Not all of us are vocal, Rob. Still in from 45p.

[robward] 30/5/2007 09:11

Hi CR
Looks like all the short-termers have deserted us !!
I was disappointed by the reaction of the market to ALN but in a couple of years with hindsight they will have looked incredibly good value at these prices. I'm looking forward to FSG results too. Im off to Arizona for a 3 week holiday so wont be able to provide updates for a while.

Blimey Recs, you don't half flap about.

These have risen over 300% since November - bound to be a few profit takers.

70p looks a nice buy point imo.

"Allen Swann, a senior advisor to the Company, purchased on 17 April 2007 100,000 ordinary shares of 5p in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 72.9p per share. As a result of this purchase, Mr Swann beneficially holds 700,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 1.57% of the Company's issued share capital.

Swann seems to think they are good value here Recs.

Hi Recruiter
We cant expect MNS share price to go up everyday..a little profit-taking is inevitable but if you like the long-term picture then hold your shares....

just a snippet of information which helps ..

2 hour delay on all trades above the size limit.

[cockneyrebel] 24/5/2007 18:09

It might show on PlusMarkets n1blet.

Quite illiquid so depends when you bought - 10K will be delayed an hour before a trade shows.

CR

[n1blet] 24/5/2007 16:37

Someone's playing games. I bought 10,000 at 73.5 at 1557 and there is no report of the trade, I guess they have delayed it 1 hour and after close of trading, as its now 1634.

At least it's nice to get in at the price the key managers are buying, anyway for me it's just a top up, whilst the bears are rattling the cage.

[sven2006] 24/5/2007 16:11

that was there original price

[monkeywrench] 24/5/2007 15:16

Am I missing something here.
Is that only 500 quids worth they are talking about ?

[callieanne] 24/5/2007 14:20

Me too Sven .. I'm out now with a small loss which I hope to recover on HAIK. Good luck to all holders though.

[sven2006] 24/5/2007 10:47

starting to lose patience with this.

[quotes_4_u] 22/5/2007 10:25

Brilliant limits.

75.35p bid for 37500 v 75.9p offer for 3750.

Easily the best limits on this stock since i've started watching,
had a nibble, i'm only looking for 5-10%, that will do me.

[cockneyrebel] 22/5/2007 10:20

Interesting this was headed "Acquisition" - was that a freudian slip and they have an acquisition sewn up and ready to announce too?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 22/5/2007 07:56

He was named as CEO months ago - this is just formalisation.

Year end here.

Perhaps more trading news soon

nmf777.

The only tradse that were buys was the first and last trades.

All the others were sells, they have a delay on them so by the
time they appear they will look like buys because the price has
fallen by then.

And given that a lot of them appeared around 9.40am i suspect
it was the work of just one seller.

[nmf777] 18/5/2007 21:49

quotes, what trades are you looking at cos what I'm seeing is a bunch of buys at the offer or just over?
