Workplace Systems Share Discussion Threads

WELL WORTH revisiting the last issuance from WSI just 6 weeks ago when it advised investors that the company was seeing a "DRAMATIC INCREASE" in the take up of its SaaS retail WFM solutions.
Equally well worth remembering is that 90% of the "DRAMATIC INCREASE" in revenues will translate into bottom line profitability and CASH.
WSI shares remain a total buy in my book,as there is every reason to believe that those revenues could ultimately increase to £20million( and beyond),translating into £9 million profits(for starters) and a potential market cap of circa £100million.
A share price of between 30/70 pence beckons then,with the prospect of much more to come.
All imo;yet I could not be more confident that WSI is an outfit with everything running in its favour.
12 months down the line the ZULU men will be picking up on WSI as it starts to address their criteria.Shame then(not)that they will need to pay possibly four fold for the privilege.
WSI is then a ZULU DAWN company.(As I might add is PUR)
Not long at 13.5 pence then and thats FOR SURE!!

Not sure on broomsticks' investment position battlebus2.
She is watching from afar,so we had better tread with circumspection.
Good that the worm has turned.
Just need for it to morph into a cheetah.
Needless to say,I remain most confident that your 300% target is more than achievable.
The trading updates,when they are issued,should be extremely stimulating.
Mud.

Atleast we are on the upwards path again Mud. I was tempted to take a near 100% profit but 300% is worth waiting for. Has Broomsticks sold out?

[mudbath] 10/2/2011 12:32

Funny thing,that when the WSI share price succumbs to a little profit taking/orchestration,interest waines.
Remember that Workplace celebrate their quarter centenary in 2011.
The Directors will want it to be one of stellar achievement.

The S.P. should mirror,if not anticipate the impending positive announcement flow.
A rapid retracement to 16 pence as a precursor to new highs imo lies ahead.

[mudbath] 09/2/2011 14:10

A bientot,broomsticks.

[broomsticks] 09/2/2011 13:35

I am always happy to be proved wrong mudbath particularly when I am unhappy with a scenario.

Don't know about the institutions in 2009 I wasn't even aware of the existence of WSI at that point in time but my research since then has not revealed an approach to acquire the company. Wasn't there something recently about 'leg pulling' by a broker on the receipt of information re the possibility of an approach to acquire the company.

I hope we agree to differ as this share price is going to need some good news to raise the level to your predictions and news is what is going to lift it, imo.

I'll end by saying that there does seem to be quite a few investors/traders in this share but very few posters add to this thread on Advfn.

I will now sit back and watch events from a distance.

I'll be back but for now,

Au revoir

[mudbath] 09/2/2011 12:49

Looks like we have a difference of opinion then broomsticks.
The mudbath £1 says no lower than 13pence + a sharp rebound within the short term.
The institutions incidentally sold millions at an average of just 6pence in 2009 !!

[broomsticks] 09/2/2011 10:24

Imo mudbath, I'm no chartist although in the process of learning but even my untutored eye says that this is going to 12p and then the psychology of the situation will take the share price below that.

If the news you refer to is the trading update I don't expect too much from that considering that the costs from implementing SaaS in the US will weigh on it.

Also if there is to be an approach why would an institution sell at a low price? It looks like one or two PI's to me taking capital gains before the end of the tax year.

[mudbath] 09/2/2011 09:10

Imo broomsticks,the current weakness is of little consequence;doubtless just Liontrust or Schroder easing a few onto the market at these higher levels.
Rebounding should not take "months",as their is so much potential positive newsflow ahead.
The trend is our friend here and that trend is very much upwards.
Unless that is WSI falls below 12 pence,in which case Houston,we might just have a problem.
As it stands however,13.25 pence looks a good platform for a swift ricochet up to 18 pence +++.
Mud.

If the share price gets flogged to death now, it will be months before it can be brought back up to a decent level. That is if it can be brought back up as we seem to be playing into a buyer's hands. imo

[broomsticks] 04/2/2011 00:15

Yes it does look like an approach is on the cards mudbath but who knows what deeds will first be done in the name of business? Is this below trouble at t'mill or part of a larger process?

Call me a cynic but let's see what today (4 Feb'11) brings!!!

"PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 03, 2011 – After NaviSite, Inc. announced that its board agreed to takeover of NaviSite by Time Warner Cable an investigation for investors of NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ:NAVI) questioning the potential unfairness of the proposed buyout and whether certain officers and directors breached their fiduciary duty was announced."

[mudbath] 03/2/2011 17:47

Down we went broomsticks to facilitate those two late 500,000 trades @ 14pence.
Interesting,as imo we do need to see some one million ++ trades as a precursor to any possible approach.

[broomsticks] 03/2/2011 13:11

That's odd, two trades both for 5,000 shares at 14.5p, one classed as a buy and the other as a sell.

A contra? Whatever it is, down we go.

[broomsticks] 01/2/2011 23:59

More news.

Time Warner Cable is to acquire NaviSite, the transaction is expected to close in Q2 of 2011. NaviSite's President and CEO R. Brooks Borcherding comments,

"Our valued customers can rest assured knowing that NaviSite and Time Warner Cable are committed to helping them grow their businesses and to delivering the reliability, innovation, and customer service they have come to expect. We also look forward to powering Time Warner Cable's development of innovative managed and cloud services for its commercial customers."



There is imo the possibility for Workplace Systems International to cross benefit from this transaction.

[mudbath] 01/2/2011 17:00

Thanks for the link broomsticks;the article makes for good reading.
I was just saying that a two(ish) pence correction would seem in order before the next leg up and voila,there it is.

[broomsticks] 01/2/2011 14:35

I haven't been around for a few days and now find a few sells just before, I believe, an expected trading update. Are the sells through knowledge, apprehension or does someone want in on the cheap?

Personally, I am watching manufacturing in the US it's on the up and it will imo take workforce planning with it though it could be a long slow haul.

mudbath et al you may be interested in this data on the barometer of business activity in Chicago from the Institute for Supply Management.

[firth] 25/1/2011 17:37

Sorry,got too used to going up every day!!!!

[mudbath] 25/1/2011 11:38

I think not,firth.
Keep focussed on those recently reported "dramatic increase(s)"in the global rate of adoption of the WSI OnLine SaaS solutions and the share price will continue to reflect our company's exciting potential.
Think more of Lewis Hamilton pausing to re-fuel if you are strung up about the shortest of term scenarios.

[firth] 25/1/2011 08:36

It looks to be suffering from 'the rip van winkles'. but its hanging on to its gains. Thats touching fate saying that!!!!!!

[broomsticks] 17/1/2011 15:56

As a new investor I am interested which is why I have been taking a look at WSI over the weekend because imo as an investor, not a trader, I can't know, or think I know, too much about a company in which I am invested.

So

It appears from a cursory comparison of Infor and Workplace Systems International that there is not any duplication of software. The comparison revealed that Infor's modus operandi is to buy software and modify it, if the software in question is perceived as being disruptive and WorkBrain could imo qualify as it employs mathematical rather than heuristic solutions to challenging schedules. Hence WorkBrain now being part of Infor.

Imo Infor is not likely to interfere with the status quo with WSI as Infor recognizes that the power of its products lies in its partner's involvement in the creation of the products. As if to prove this Infor has, over the last few days, been demonstrating WorkBrain at the National Retail Federation's January Conference, held in New York, along with a representative (possibly Barnaby Quinn ) from the Workplace Systems International the creator of WorkBrain which is all good news for WSI.

And me and other imo astute investors.

[firth] 17/1/2011 14:59

Yes its gone all quiet on 'the western front' for the last 2.5 days.

[mudbath] 17/1/2011 10:42

Amazing,that despite the relentless rise in the WSI share price,we have seen vitually no input/interest being demonstrated by new posters/investors.

Rather like the film title,"There's SOMETHING ABOUT MARY",it seems there's SOMETHING ABOUT WSI that doesn't quite make the necessary connection.
I suppose that to a cursory glance its attractions are far from obvious...
currently that is.

[mudbath] 17/1/2011 10:18

And the answer ??..could have been provided by I.S.Research in their July 2010 investment note.

"We believe that an increase in the free float would have a positive impact on the share price.Greater institutional representation on the shareholder register,resulting from a partial sell down of a founder stake(currently 50%)could generate substantial momentum."

Watch out for that RNS.

[ravel morrison] 17/1/2011 09:44

Still the same Q's.....

[firth] 17/1/2011 09:40

Thats odd if you can buy 50k at 16.78p[under the 17p quote] Why did I not get a quote for 10k ????
