damanko in that link I gave you you will see a but that says vol=0

change that to vol=1 and you will get the above.

it saves you having that other chart

[damanko] 01/3/2007 12:28

Think I have managed to go back several months, find the post with te volume chart, and pasted it. If it works............ leave me alone, okay?

[damanko] 01/3/2007 12:22

Thanks as, only took about 8 tries, but I believe it is there, and it's your work. Still, 7 more tries than England scored last week. By the way, have to say you threw me, I know them as chevrons..............?

[asparks] 01/3/2007 12:21

well done!!!

[asparks] 01/3/2007 12:13

i cant put it exactly cos it converts it to an image then
an open schevron is the thing to the right of your "m" key on your key board.
a closed schevron is the thing to the right of the open one!

[damanko] 01/3/2007 12:10

Oh God.... please explain a "schevron"? If you put exactly what I need to paste, no other comment, I shall try

[asparks] 01/3/2007 12:06

damanko

past this

img src='http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=staticchart&s=L%5EAXS&p=5&t=17&dm=0&vol=0&size=4'

putting an open schevron at start and a closed one at the end

Tried several times, won't take. More than possible I'm a divot, but this is the only thread I've started where this problem persists (eg see Oxonica....)

How about trying a URL thread I can paste into the edit box?

Thanks.

As to the post about directors having 43%, if you add the 20% I mentioned earlier, this implies a free flot of only 37%. Is Accsys really that tightly held?

[asparks] 01/3/2007 11:11

damanko pls try to paste that chart in the header thanks

[roughjustice] 01/3/2007 11:07

No takeover is likely since directors own 43% of the company and would not sell out cheaply, nor are there cashflows to fund the company. All partners can still benefit but with the lower risk approach of being partners.

[damanko] 01/3/2007 11:03

Now you're showing off........ but keep it up. Have gone into the "edit" many times, cut and pasted stuff, followed other's suggestions - but still the naff graphics come back. I opened the thread (and often contribute to it) from North Africa. Whether it is therefore a URL problem I'm not sure. However.... have tried to edit from here in Blighty as well, just can't do it. Or it won't.

[roughjustice] 01/3/2007 11:01

My holding has been halved, the ride up from October has more than contributed to my profits.

[damanko] 01/3/2007 10:53

asparks, seems to me that AXS is actually fairly unique - at this time. Have researched this soft into hardwood theme via the net since they floated, and Accsys would appear to be the only outfit actually making the stuff, plus licensing the technology. British outfit, that is. When you look at the chart above (sorry, whatever I do the ADVFN site won't alter what was there originally on this thread) - I am also surprised there has been no bid talk. None. In the commercial world, one would expect some of AXS's new partners, given that they are much larger and some have cash to spare - to leap at the opportunity to swallow a relative minnow, and reap the benefits. My interest in Accsys is through what was STG Holdings, now called Mcniven & Cameron, an unquoted company, which held 20% plus when it came to the market. Even if there was a "lock-in" arrangement for this holding, 18 months from placing I would expect some corporate action. I suppose (unless anyone else knows more/better) - as usual it is a case of watch this space. To be honest I often despair about ADVFN BB'ers. Look at this thread - what, 180 posts since October 2005? Now look at many hopeless, dot com type basket cases. Many (seemingly) intelligent, articulate individuals post hundreds of times per week on them. I can only think that when it comes to charts, performance & prospects, they read everything backwards ....................................................

Accoya wood currently at Trade exhibition which finishes today. May result in more interest:

[asparks] 01/3/2007 10:44

BSW Timber's Accoya will be showcased at EcoBuild 2007 following seal of approval from BRE with 60-year life expectancy

BSW Timber's Accoya, which will be promoted by Westgate Joinery on stand E221 at Ecobuild 2007, has been backed by the British Research Establishment (BRE) with a 60-year life expectancy.

Accoya, a modified, environmentally-friendly wood offering outstanding levels of performance, stability and durability, has already attracted strong interest from the industry.

Following extensive testing, BRE has concluded that 'Accoya would meet a 60-year service life requirement.'

The results coincide with the Accoya factory in Arnheim, the Netherlands, entering the final stages of commissioning.

Delegates at EcoBuild 2007 can learn first-hand about Accoya's performance attributes that are equivalent to or better than the best tropical hardwoods and superior to many artificial material alternatives.

Accoya is produced using a patented process that adapts sustainably grown softwoods by increasing the amount of acetyl molecules present in the wood. Pine wood has 2 per cent acetyl molecules, oak has 4 per cent and Accoya has 20 per cent.




Wood acetylation protects wood from rot by making it inedible to most micro-organisms and insects, without making it toxic. It also greatly reduces the wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less prone to cracking and ensuring that when painted it requires dramatically reduced maintenance.

Since acetyl molecules are already present in all wood species, the process does not introduce anything that does not occur naturally in wood and Accoya is therefore completely non-toxic.

Comments from Westgate Joinery's Managing Director, David Pattenden and BSW's head of development John Alexander suggest that:-

"The high performance of Accoya allows greater flexibility in design because Accoya is not subject to the same standard practice which limits common, less stable timbers.

"Accoya is equally well suited to production of doors, windows and conservatories where the some major benefits can be realised."

"The aesthetic options for cladding have now changed dramatically. Greater flexibility is available. Translucent stains which maintain the rich wood appearance of the wood have often been discounted due to frequent maintenance intervals of around three to four years. Accoya's low movement and UV resistance reduces this interval to 10 years, which is an entirely different proposition for the client."





"There are no issues of non-durable sapwood. This allows the timber to be guaranteed for 50 years against rot by the producer. With respect to assurance, this guarantee is also in line with Building Research Establishment's product review.

"Accoya will raise standards of reliability and performance for timber windows, doors and cladding to new levels.

"It is a high performance wood product, which has excellent environmental credentials and is more sustainable than other materials used in non-timber windows and doors.

"Testing of Accoya for machining properties, gluing and coatings has now been completed. The most severe test involved a three-week in a water tank;

"After the period, the window opened with ease and no paint joints had been broken – even at the corners.
We now have confidence in offering a product that has new levels of warranty against decay and a new warranty for quality coating finishes, and does not require any further preservative treatment in manufacture."

Interesting article on Accoya:

AXS seems to be one of the most undiscovered growth companies around.

Are any AXS investors in any other timber tech companies?
