waldiman

thoise are the same 2 i picked from that same issue
i too gained 50 % from hceg but missed the jump from 65 p to 120 p

icu is a distraction but i will have a look
vianet have major potential clients in mars , red bull , selecta ect
and 2/ 3 years lead on the competition?
this story is a few yrs old

[felix99] 14/3/2005 21:47

its the hope of a contract with compass it seems - I too am in ICU but have come accross to look at this one after it was mentioned there. Pretty Stellar rise and all the big Inst selling out by the looks.

Too rich for me at this price unless the compass deal is confirmed - if not shes gonna fall . Well done Bada bing btw

[siskinbird] 14/3/2005 21:44

Hi folks
Have any of you looked at ICU? (competitors, I suppose), which floated last Wednesday........
I would be interested in any views about the relative merits of these 2 companies & their technologies. It seems to me that ICU have 2 things in their favour - the remote ordering and the novel dispensing, whereas VIA appear to have only the former - hence I favour ICU, but I'm not an industry expert by any means. I hold ICU but not VIA.

Another investor here on this, but as there hasn't been much happening with this share - bar it going down - there hasn't been much to post.

Investors Chronicle notified me of this share in their magazine last April, re: penny shares to look out for. I liked what I saw with this Company and also with Healthcare Enterprise Group (HCEG) which is now up 150% on my original investment.

Hopefully we will see 10/11p on Vianet in the next month or so.

I'll post any updates that Investors Chronicle have with their follow up report as and when!

[surfer2] 14/3/2005 17:43

oh yeah sooner for sure ...but ride the thing up and down for that long
thats what i meant
im with u on that one
ive had it 4 15 months now and been watchin closely since it started flattening off
waiting for some sign of consolidation soon but who knows
this one could go like stream from 4 p to 85 and more
i thought 4 a while it might be like stream where management and a few select wanted to take it private again
so watchin v closely indeed!!

[surfer2] 14/3/2005 13:37

is that little vended numbers thing helping us here??
they need 15,000 to break even and sales havnt even moved yet
was 7800 a few weeks ago i think?

[badabing] 14/3/2005 13:36

Surfer,

A year or two? I would have said much sooner now....much, much sooner......

[surfer2] 14/3/2005 13:30

not alone bada bing

this remote monitoring for vending concept is incredibly easy to understand
im thinking of buying more as ive only got 25000 myself
im watchin this like a hawk 4 the next yr or 2

[badabing] 14/3/2005 11:46

I dunno....still home alone on here.......but not for much longer I think......EVOs are alone on the BID for these...always a good sign in my book....

[badabing] 14/3/2005 10:32

All 3 MMs in play on the ASK and on the BID.....NMS = 50k

[badabing] 14/3/2005 10:31

These are getting more expensive to buy every day...........

[badabing] 14/3/2005 10:26

PP....nice to see you......to be honest I quite like it that way....it means I am ahead of the crowd like you say.......no doubt when the Compass deal breaks this will be flooded with new posters asking when the results are due out...-:0)

[premierpompey] 14/3/2005 10:22

Bada
Looks like you're ploughing a loan furrow here. Often the best way, wait til others catch on and you might see some even bigger rewards...

[badabing] 14/3/2005 10:17

Excellent buy today........looks like we have more serious interest here....

D,

Looks like the news item has helped with momentum.....now let's hope that it's a real story with legs.....

[mike/homeruk] 13/3/2005 22:34

That's OK - hopefully the recent upturn will continue

[cwilliamham] 13/3/2005 21:43

The strange thing to me is why institutions with sizeable holdings sell to Michael Underwood. News from the vending machine trials must be due soon. I suppose we can assume that the trials are proceeding well. Yet if so why would the fund managers be selling, unless they are being lazy and just tidying up their porfolios without thought to underlying newsflow. I have been a holder for some time and always liked the concept of the technology. Maybe we are due for a little reward. However this company does not have a great track record.
Confused , me too!

[mike/homeruk] 13/3/2005 21:42

There was a snippet in the Guardian page 31 yesterday saying that a seller has finally been cleared out and the company is poised to announce a deal with Compass Group.
