Alterian Share Discussion Threads

I think these have always had a good product, screwed up by directors more focussed on buying and selling shares at the most opportune time for them.

New CEO and chairman at the helm, both buying significant amounts of shares well over the current share price recently.

80p would be a disappointing take out price - I'd accept a pound seeing I bought in recently and got the bulk last week at just over 50p but I was buying because I thought they were cheap at 80p recently just on valuation, seeing markets seem to be turning too.

An offer presumably means they have something that's worth selling, but messed it up themselves. Can't imagine they are being bought for their client list.

Lucky timely buying by the directors en masse.

You beaut!

This is purely opportunistic and not entirely unexpected. Before the profits warning i was expecting this to be taken out at nearer £3. Anything under £1 would be very disappointing but at least they are now in play

SDL's a half billion pound co, 100p+ a share no problem to them.

Personally I think these were oversold at 84p which is why directors were buying then so probably worth over 100p in their own right if that's the directors view imo.

imo, dyor

Nice. 80p rejected.

I'd have thought any successful bid had to be over 100p - the directors were buying for 84p recently!

Level 2 - this is being strongly bought today - including lots of 250k and 500k of shrs.

Breaking through recent resistance on big volume

Well there's only the trifling matter of a company with supposed 'must-have' tech. analysis products, in what is supposed to be a rapidly growing market amongst the marketing folk, simply not growing.

In fact, despite rapidly increasing costs, they still hadn't grown on the last set of results.

What they need is a very, very clear statement at some time of exactly what sales are really like and whether uptake is slow because they have been useless at selling in the past, or whether the product isn't gaining traction (which they'd never admit to), or whether its a long sales process. Some trust might be regained then.

[cockneyrebel] 20/10/2011 21:52

No, I just get titred of every stock you're in you suggest there's a bid coming.

These are oversold imo, they look very cheap, new directors are buying at a price well over this level, the chart has double bottomed.

That's why I'm buying, I don't think anyone is planning a bid and if they are that's just guess work imo.

[cockneyrebel] 20/10/2011 18:45

It is if you're long imo.

large volume often indicates a seller clearing and can change the availability of stock. If he's dried up then any buying should move this up here on, and hopely as fast as it came down. I couldn't see anything in the last two statements to justify th selling myself.

[strangeman] 20/10/2011 16:04

IS that a good thing?

[cockneyrebel] 20/10/2011 15:32

Bouncing on very large trades today.

Double bottomed imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 19/10/2011 13:40

on the up - buyers in there - chart look slike it's double bottoming to me.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 17/10/2011 19:08

large trades look interesting - seller cleared?

And it duly bounced there, stoplossing me out of my 90% of my downbet for the timebeing.

Nice point for a bottom here on a long term low:

Yep, they'll do very nicely when the MBO is announced!
