whats the 37 mill at 0.1p??

[moreforus] 07/4/2011 14:06

500k at 0.160001p then is a buy...(-;

[george57] 07/4/2011 14:01

Yes M4US.

ARC have been releasing decent RNSs for a while, I have been here a while steadily adding to my holding, but they do need to release something of importance to get recognition in the share price

The last RNS looked the best for a while..

[moreforus] 07/4/2011 13:59

so are those buys going through (150k, 100k...)

[george57] 07/4/2011 13:56

You can now buy again at 0.16p, I hope the few who got in earlier today stick around..

ARC now need to turn the recent RNSs into contracts of substance, if they can do this todays share price will look very cheap.

Arcontech's Excelerator Gains New Clients

Following the release of the latest version in January, Arcontech is pleased to announce contracts with a number of new clients for its CityVision "Excelerator" add-in for real-time market data functionality within Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

The clients range in size and function from a smaller UK hedge fund to the US based broker-dealer operation of a large international bank.

The new clients have been acquired following extensive evaluation programmes, during which many client suggestions were incorporated into the product, addressing some specific needs for deployment in mission critical positions.

Overhang gone maybe looking at big trade this am.

Buys at 0.16p now, including 1 million and 2.6 million buy!

[topinfo] 07/4/2011 11:02

ARC last time I looked these were over 0.2p and have a lot of good news of late so should be back in 0.2p-0.3p range again, meaning a cool 100% from here minimum.

[topinfo] 07/4/2011 10:46

ARC big bounce time, cheap and decent company too. All the makings of a multi bagger!!

[george57] 06/4/2011 15:10

Had a small top up 500k at 0.14p, very tight spread 0.133p to sell 0.14p to buy.

Still hoping that these RNSs from ARC will eventually turn into contracts, if it does these will look remarkably cheap at 0.14p IMO.

Thanks for your insight sj. Do you think there will ever be any likelyhood of either of the big two getting interested? I take it this is a case of the mountain and Mohammed.

[sjcsystems] 05/4/2011 13:47

I think the news on 4th April is interesting, but it's not outstanding. I am sure there are plenty of users of CityVision who could develop such applications if they desired. Whether this leads to anything is subjective. Pity Microsoft or IBM aren't interested in real time, then there would be something worth announcing...

[george57] 04/4/2011 12:39

Looks an excellent RNS steelwatch, the only way it has affected the share price though is by increasing the spread.

Same old story though, if the contracts follow these will take off, if they don't..

Buy at 0.18p or thereabouts, even though showing 0.23p, scandalous.

sjcsystems - is today's news of any particular relevance?

(edit: meant of any particular significance)

[sjcsystems] 21/3/2011 14:07

Admin costs in the first 6 months are up considerably with no explanation. Furthermore cash burn is still an issue, regardless of jam tomorrow promises again. No mention of the AXE trading platform in either statement, and no apportionment of costs between the UK and overseas operating centres.

Arcontech's Excelerator Gains New Clients

Following the release of the latest version in January, Arcontech is pleased to announce contracts with a number of new clients for its CityVision "Excelerator" add-in for real-time market data functionality within Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

The clients range in size and function from a smaller UK hedge fund to the US based broker-dealer operation of a large international bank.

The new clients have been acquired following extensive evaluation programmes, during which many client suggestions were incorporated into the product, addressing some specific needs for deployment in mission critical positions.

Common factors leading to Excelerator being chosen over competitive products have been the speed and control of updates into and from the spreadsheet, plus the ease of deployment. Andrew Miller, CEO of Arcontech said: "In this age of ultra low-latency and DMA trading Excel still remains prevalent on the dealing desktop and its performance is truly important. Users report that Excelerator is significantly faster to get data into the sheet, which can mean the difference between hitting or missing an available price or quantity."

The innate performance is a key attribute of Excelerator, adding value, for example, when connected directly to an RMDS platform. However, when coupled with other CityVision components and data sources, it is possible to radically reduce the time-to-trade, for example by monitoring news headlines for interest rate changes, and setting a trading trigger accordingly. Speed of contributions from Excel is also important and users report a clear advantage over other products when using Excelerator.

The abilities to pop-out user configurable market data displays, including full ANSI inter--dealer broker pages, save and restore layouts and 'shred' data back to the sheet with simple drag and drop, all add to viability of the Excel/Excelerator combination as a real-time market data desktop.

Miller added: "The value proposition is clear; Excelerator can reduce considerably the cost per dealer over bundled packages, particularly when contributions, internal data or direct feeds are important. It's encouraging that we're seeing take-up on both the sell-side and the buy-side."

Interims due by end of this month.

Can anyone say when are the next Results.
I cannot find the dates on their site.
Thanks.

Hello George
I think you're a relatively recent investor in Arcontech. I'm not, having been stuck with these shares for some years. They are very poor at telling the world about their successes, predominantly because there aren't many (allegedly) worth talking about. It's mostly 'jam tomorrow' and product launches which no one needs.

[steelwatch] 13/3/2011 11:11

Judging by what appear to be several rollovers last week, someone may have misjudged their T+ trades..

[george57] 11/3/2011 15:19

Hello sjc,

Sometimes companies don't work to a schedule holders find acceptable, good things come (apparently) to those that wait.

I notice the bid has moved back to 0.17p after dropping to 0.12p, and that was after a couple of sells.

Its all moderate trading, but there was definite interest yesterday.

[sjcsystems] 11/3/2011 14:36

Let's focus our attention on the reason we are all here: ARC They are the ones who need to be coming up with the news stories and contract wins etc. But they don't.
