The answer is NO. I have charted this stock and left a message on this board to JonC on 15th April informing not to rush to buy until close two weeks from the interim results as charts show that the price was liable to level out at 89p where there is support. Now we are there with 5 weeks before interim results.

Little volume is I am afraid the reason for the dip. The half year results will(baring unforseen circumstance) reflect the expected growth and increased profit. I would also like to see in the company report their expansion strategy over the next 5 years. Whilst I know in 2000/1 they saw the next two years as being a period where they would organically grow to build a strong foundation base, I would like to see them express an interest of a gradual expansion into Europe. That would then really get the insitutions and shrewd fund managers interested in buying stock. And with only 10 million shares in circulation, each share could well reach the dizzy heights of £5 to £7.

Charting based on historic and fowarding looking earnings I am reading an increase in mid-point of £1.25 supported at £1..10 with upper limit of up to £1.45 by end of June.

Am I confident? well I chart and follow three stocks of which I have purchased shares in the last 6 months

ABI - paid 50p - present 74p - gain 48%
ITH -paid 9p - present 14p - gain 55%
POT paid 80p - present 90p - gain 11%p

Holding all stocks on a 2 to 3 year outlook because of enormous upside in growth and profit they represent. ABI have moved from high to a low risk overnight, whereas POT is still high risk but may well come of the high risk register by the half yearly results. My lastest purchase ITH is high risk and will remain so for a least 2 years. Although sometimes the higher the risk the greater the return.

I have high expectations for Potential Finanace although I think it will be year 2003/4 before we will see the European Expansion and the share price quantum leap.

Like all factoring business, the unforeseen, a bad debt from a company, can spoil a party overnight butt managed well and it is profit all the way.

Good luck

Well my return on investment is 20% to date and I expect another 20% on top by end of June (interim results). 40% return over a 6 month period is what I call good going. And yet! other than some shrewd fund managers, retailer investors seem to be disinterested in this stock.

I find it so strange that retailer investors follow the herd with all its ups and downs, rather than just choose a company with growth potential that makes profit. Ambient is a case in hand which I just made 40% in a week.

Oh well the price will rise with or with out retailer investors, just seems odd that so few spot the huge potential of this company.

See all of you in June when the horse has bolted I guess.

Abbo64- wrong board to discuss other stock. However, I did have the DIR stock, brought and sold and will not return. Hence I do no reasearch into the company to advise. Takeover? speculative but good luck nonetheless.

I can inform I hold three Aim stock at present on a 6 month outlook .

1) Potential Finance paid 80p share
2) Ambient paid 53p share
3) Itis paid 9p share

So if you wish for any info on those, can find me on their BB's

Good to see you are honest too Inno'

We all pick losers! Talking of which I asked you many moons ago if you still had any interest in DIR, you said not and that you dont go back. Fair enough, however, DIR is now subject to speculation of a takeover from Maiden details below taken from Citywire below: Please accept my apologies for this intrusion on the POT thread which I hope to regularly conribute to as a prospective buyer, I am however excited about DIR at this time. Anyway I promise not to do this again I just hoped you might share some of your knowledge at this time.

Kind regards Abbo.



Maiden on acquisitions trail

Outdoor advertising group Maiden has defied the downturn in media markets by raising almost £7 million; the move signals an acquisitions hunt and Jemma George believes Direct Message could be in the frame.

Maiden has placed 1,909,911 new ordinary shares or 4.3% of the total shares in issue, at a price of 356p each, to raise about £6.6 million net of expenses. The funds will be used to support future acquisitions and Direct Message is one name in particular that springs to mind.

The outdoor advertising technology group continues to suffer from growing debt and delays in prospective orders.

The company recently shocked the market with its third profit warning since flotation in May 2000. Two new contracts from advertising giant Clear Channel Adshel in Singapore and French supermarket chain Carrefour helped to stem the fall in the shares but revenues from these deals are not expected until 2003.

The contracts involve the group’s patented Universal illuminated display units as well as some lighting and wire-free communication systems.

Maiden is primarily interested in outdoor billboards but Direct’s technology could fit neatly with future innovations.

At 3.5p a share, Direct is capitalised at just £2.15 million relative to Maiden’s £160 million. The debt pile amounts to about £20 million but Maiden could push Direct to consider further restructuring or pay a good chunk off with some of the funds raised today.

Some of Direct’s technology has great potential and the group has already forged a number of decent commercial relationships. The problem is simply one of debt management until the cycle turns and demand strengthens. A bid would be opportunistic but most shareholders are likely to accept a reasonable offer after being so disappointed over the last few months.

A Maiden/Direct deal is by no means certain and Direct could suffer further. But the shares have bounced off their low of 2.75p a couple of weeks ago and if Maiden doesn’t take a look others are likely to.

Shares in Maiden (MDN) are up 6.5p at 370p, Direct (DIR) are unchanged at 3.5p

Abb064 - not quite correct about "no-one appears to be in at present"

Only last month, Peter Webb picked up a near 900,000 share stake, or 8.6%, in the £10 million company for his Eaglet investment trust (EIN). He purchased these at 90p per share. Also, Brian Watson’s Framlington Innovative Growth investment trust (FIT) holds the stock as do some of the funds run by top manager Alfred Stirling.

I guess in the wider picture this stock is still relatively unknown, so you do have the opportunity to be a shrewd investor by buying in. The retail investor will start to nipple at this stock after the interims, and there may be a possibility that an institution may take a large chuck as its share price should exceed their standard entry mark of 100p per share


Ps - nice to think that I regularly pick winners, but I dont. Only last month I picked up Ambient share at 53p, expecting a upturn, but their accounts are so complex, think retailer investors lost the plot. Shrewd investors still buying as I. But this game is not all about quick wins unless you are a total gambler.

Without wishing to appear to be a sheep i shall study and monitor this stock as I see Innovation99 (whoever you are) seems to regularly be a winner and what better than a stock that no-one appears to be in at present.

Jon C - I have been charting this stock and I did expect it to break out to about £1.25 last month, but it has broken through the floor of a rising trend channel. So now this we are in a horizontal development. Regretably the last downturn due to poor liquidity gave a negative signal from a rectangle formation by the break down through the support at 95.14.

At the momenet a further fall to 89p is signaled, however, a dangerous game to call the bottom on this stock for as little as a 10,000 share purchase would turn the signal northwards.

Charting aside, if there is such a word as certain, then I am certain that the interim results in June will be very positive and that will lead to the break-out to £1.25 that has been so long in coming.

This stock could easily double in price in the preceding months if the guru's and media give it some lineage on it's soaring profits and growth potential. Wishful thinking maybe, but who knows.

This stock seems to be invisable to the punter. Hard to fathom when you see its Potential (excuse pun) This is a growth stock that after only 23 months since its entry into the market is already making profit. Given that the growth is continuing ( the £25million funding seems to suggest it is) then either punters are not doing their research or they prefer the "chase of the hunt" with the HiTech stock.

Me personally. I prefer to make healthy returns even if I have to wait for 6 months. Stock that have little downturn and massive upturn do it for me everytime.

Dutch government resigns over damaging report - can you imagine that happening over here. Had Blair/Byers et al been caught carrying out the Srebrenica massacre I dont think they would resign. Oh for the days of honourable politicians, errrmm, whenever that was...

Red Army if you look just at a fluctuation in share price at at given point in time, you have either lost your money or you are going to.

Your right Jon C due to the lack of interest the directors keep buying up shares (dirt cheap they stated) making the stock more illiquid as it was already closely held. However I did buy in at 80p so I am not complaining about fluctuations of 5 to 10 %. If the interim results beat expectations as the final results did then the spike in price will be at least 25% on this one.

red army ,

It is a bit illiquid and the 12500 sell has stuffed it.

Have you spoken to the Directors at all?

I did not find them that communicative last time I tried.

Th time is drawing nearing to the interims, which given Potential history to date will no doubt be as impressive for a new company. Given the recent funding, the rapid move into profit, should all bode well for a move north in share price.
