We're are having a good high ave in volume these last few days. No smoke with out fire they say. Could see a new ploy with the mm's over the next wk or so to try and tempt a few more sellers. Dropping it like today did not seem to work. Time will tell.

[devil20] 16/1/2013 15:34

No wonder I could only buy 10k. The MMs wanted to keep any sells for the big order.

[412069] 16/1/2013 14:51

They dropped the bid to fill that 500k buy order, looks like thats there only option to obtain any, or someone got lucky!

Obviously the big fuss about big data will be from the consumer end, where the marketing people will be falling over themselves to try to use it to gain an edge in targeting buyers.

No doubt that will result in startups and young businesses who target that area and there will be plenty of experiments and hype.

SPA is more involved with areas where the owners of the data cannot afford to experiment, as they are using it for critical services, supply efficiencies, defence, security and governing in one way or another.

Worth noting that OS in fact supply geospatial data widely to many different organisations, so their end of it is critical.

A bit to early tho mate but I've a load cheaper than that.

[devil20] 16/1/2013 10:38

75k?! Must of been the 'early bird catches the worm'!

[412069] 16/1/2013 10:35

I got another 75k first thing looking at some more at this price.

[412069] 16/1/2013 10:22

What's L2 like anyone!

[devil20] 16/1/2013 10:20

Just bought some more...but I could only get 10k shares. The selling was due to the resistance at about 6p imo. But they are now well bid for.

[412069] 16/1/2013 10:11

A buying oppertunity here again all.
MM's messing about to shake a few, a rise yesterday on a 20k buy the only other reason could be a large sell order which would be madness at this stage of spa's growth.
Lets wait and see...

[412069] 14/1/2013 18:53

The mms prised 700k out of folk today and we still finished up. That didnt happen in the passed. 100k buy pushing us up 10% wait until we get more news and more folk catch on! Should be interesting.

[412069] 14/1/2013 14:52

Like i said over the week end 8p on what we already have in the bag..Aussie or any new contract and who knows.
And these days we are not seeing a flurry of sellers on a 10% jump happy days.

[leyton2] 14/1/2013 14:47

They offering 5.6p for 100k to sell and 6.07p to buy same amount

[tsmith2] 14/1/2013 14:30

either last 100k is a buy or MMs short of stock..think latter and higher prices coming up..

dont think there's much resistance to 8p...I hear there is a lot going on...

[yump] 14/1/2013 13:30

Blimey, went to have a coffee and hey presto.

I'll be going again at about 3 if anyone wants to get a few buys in just afterwards ;-)

I imagine 6p will be a fair old barrier.

[devil20] 14/1/2013 12:58

Yes...nice gradual rise again. Looking good.

[412069] 14/1/2013 12:56

Just hit a year high there lads for a second, roll on 2013.

[412069] 14/1/2013 10:01

Morning all, looking good again...should see a large buy about an hour after the rise i think.

Some information on the state of Geospatial in Brazil:



Key element wrt 1Spatial seems to be the mention of lack of integration, standardisation and lack of compatibility between geospatial data systems.

1Spatial resells FME, which allows cross-system integration, where the geospatial systems have different formats. Plus management systems and software.

So that may well have been the benefit seen by whichever Brazilian gov. department that has awarded the recent contract.

A few extracts:

Immature geospatial industry: The industry requires a lot of nurturing before it can reach a stage of maturity. A historical perspective to its development reveals that it has been concentrated in pockets and is being driven by
few disconnected drivers. This fragmented development has resulted in a lopsided development of the geospatialindustry and has been a constraint for overall industry growth.

Other key challenges faced by users are interoperability and standardisation and lack of data centralisation. Organisations regularly use spatial data collected from a variety of sources; they often face the need to re-format
and re-standardise data to make the information compatible with existing systems. The country faces a lack of effort in efficiently integrating and managing centralised data. Lack of centralised data can result in significant
inefficiencies and suboptimal operational and long-term management strategies.

Land of opportunities: The opportunities in Brazil are vast, particularly considering that there is no one vendor who is a leading seller in more than two segments out of major market segments, namely government, education,
environmental management, agriculture, oil and gasmining, forests, water resources and utilities. According to a report by Intare Consulting in Information Management, in the last few years, growth in the number of companies operating mainly in services associated with data and software with various solutions for different segments of market has been more than 40 percent, indicating that growth can be achieved by increasing the ability to offer solutions for integrated services.

Excellent reason why to buy SPA at this massively oversold level. Thnx to c2i on the SHA thread for posting this on 3rd Jan'13:

SKYSHIP,
Just in case you did not see this. They look interesting at current levels. Have you been averaging down?

Good find Yump keep digging, roll the last few contracts together and revenue could triple this year.

Also the term 'FME' is explained on the link below.
1Spatial is a reseller of FME, developed by Safe Software and they have a close relationship - Safe Software sponsored a 1 Spatial conference at Ordnance Survey.
