really good results here, should be worth investing in a company that's actually made some money lol

Thanks for the help guys

i'll check out the plus trades. Still think VSC is good value, so am holding for now.

Cheers

The volume can be misleading unless you have level 2 which shows te trades that go through in the plus markets.Not a great deal has passed through since yesterday, but plenty more than lse volume states.... This was always going to happen, as profit takers moved on from a successful short term trade.. Also, the MM will have used this to shake any weak holders out, and now good buying support at 60p again.. The way i see it is, do you think this is still good value, then buy some on weakness....

[jpm247] 12/8/2009 12:05

Any ideas why the big drop today with hardly any volume ??

My profit has been eaten up this morning.

No volume yesterday here either? - Tho i notice from sharw that advfn only gives lse trades?!

RB looks for breakouts, this was a prime candidate to move and move fast. If a share sits in a tight range with ok but not great liquididty, when it moves out of the range it tends to move rapidly and hard. Could be getting up to £1 quite quickly because there is just no selling pressure!

29palms-

ADVFN only show LSE trades - a greater volume in small stocks goes through PLUS and this appears to be the trade under discussion:

05/08/2009 16:05:33 52.00 10,000 O 5,200.00

Call me an old cynic but I would doubt MrNakedtrader website trades stating that he bought on 5th August at 52p as there was no 10000 trades that day. Check our own ADVFN trades listed for 5th August-



He also states that the shares were "stuck at 50p for weeks and weeks"

Before this nice mark up last week this stock last seen 50p back in October 2008

A little uneconomical with the truth me thinks regarding Visonic.

However, that said, some startling gains across the portfolio.
As always DYOR

And that would be illegal........

Seriously though i know what you mean - it must be tempting to sell straight away! Release a buy rec, watch it rise 40% and then get out.

Do his sell notes cause similar carnage on the downside? I have never looked at that side but i cant imagine its pretty.

[insideryou] 10/8/2009 15:57

I agree with you, its like printing money for him, but his credentials are so highly rated, and such a large following, but his criteria for picking shares is based on soild fundementals, and clean balance sheets, which has put him where he is.. Having said that, i would love to be where he is now.. i would have my trading stock ready to sell, the moment the market makers stopped the huge mark up on the day it was tipped, then keep my mid term stuff for capitol growth.. But thats just me..

[keybored] 10/8/2009 12:24

he has certainly generated volume for now....

[frndlyfire] 10/8/2009 11:56

Is it not somewhat of a self fulfilling prophecy though?

If i pick a small high risk stock with relatively low volumes and send that tip to X thouusand of people who all buy in i am sure i could have a similar track record.

Its just pump and dump on a massive scale - but fairplay to the guy for gettimg the following in the first place. Thats the bit that takes the skill.

[insideryou] 10/8/2009 10:58

He has an e mail subscription as well which alerts you to his buys 2 hours before the web site gets it..Also he tips high risk stuff which he buys through his sipp.. Tell you something, this guys track record is scarily good.Not sure how he does it on such a regular basis though........

[frndlyfire] 10/8/2009 10:03

This bloke i guess - he has quite a following! Look at the stocks he has picked and all show similar rises!

Must be a nice position to be in - post your buys and everyone piles in!!

[keybored] 09/8/2009 20:46

whats driving the movement ?

[29palms] 07/8/2009 18:13

Did say that this was one that not a lot of investors were watching.
19% increase in my small holding today is good news indeed.

[ukinvestor220] 07/8/2009 17:14

certainly is :)

[29palms] 17/6/2009 18:36

Is this a little gem that not a lot of people have spotted?

million compared with $37.1 million last year.

The trouble with this one is that it has become so illiqid. As far as I can see only four trades on two days in the last 3 weeks - 3 trades, value about £9k, on 21st and 5k, value £2.4k, this morning.

[josedelavega] 30/4/2008 10:57

good news today :-)

bad that there are not more shares offered at 0,45 - 0,40 - .... to buy :-)
