Looks like a classic mopping-up job today.

They may have killed off the selling, having shown their hand, which in turn may cause the price to start moving up again.....does that help, hans solo?

[hans solo] 14/8/2003 19:51

2 buyers today know alot more than i do and have the money to back it up,getting a bit boring will continue to hold,dont know why ,but feel its an in to win job.could someone help my confidence,

[blopblup] 08/8/2003 14:32

MM's tactics of scaring people into selling didn't work yesterday hence putting price back up.I believe results out in September therefore in a close period now but once these contracts are signed,sealed and delivered then who knows.Remember,check back your posts on ATL,they did a presentation in July to about 35 companies so these may now be coming to frutition.

Blimey Morose, had you down for a rag with page 3 as best newsworthy item!
Seriously impressed, was it a freebie????

Understand they have a lot of contracts awaiting final confirmation but don't expect them to win all, it will also take a very big contract to boost price through a quid, however they remain a first class, money generative stock.
All imho....lw

[blopblup] 07/8/2003 12:56

Morose,thanks for the info above,the article is pasted below.As I keep reiterating,let the news be your friend!


Atlantic Global, the AIM-listed software house, eased ½p to 72½p, despite suggestions of a clutch of further contract wins after last month’s deal with Norwich Union.

[morose] 07/8/2003 12:38

The Times today, suggests that there is talk of "further contract wins" in the offing.Bit surprised that no interest generated if these rumours have any substance.
Could do with a bit of a boost again now to rekindle the fading interest in this stock.

Guys,let the news be your friend.As I said before my hols,these shares will do the biz once the news start to flow.

[littlewillie] 05/8/2003 16:51

lush...bound to be a lot of guys out there showing healthy profits; they, like myself have decided to take it now rather than wait on maybe's to get it through a quid.
Its also summer hols time and cash thats a profit is the best kind.
I believe it will continue northwards but all the recent v.good deals are built into the price.
The next big customer on board [ it will happen soon imho] and through the quid it will sail.
Don't read much into these sells, your investment is safe AND very sound...lw

[lushypoo] 05/8/2003 16:12

Can anyone tell me why the big sell off today. I am fairly new to share dealing

[alroyrob] 26/7/2003 13:43

bbbb.

Correct me if I am wrong, but am I right in thinking the difference being; the addition of the words... 'New' and 'Unique', in the recent announcement, but they are missing in the old announcement?

Norwich Union are the first to take on this 'new and unique' addition to the Adeo suite of applications. Good for them, they are obviously very happy with ATLs products.

I am not sure you can make a comparison with last years price surge, as there is widespread belief that;

(Newspaper quotation), "ATL the Aim-listed software developer plans to launch a product that could change the way large corporations manage their sales forces".

This quite obviously changes everything, does it not?

[scrapheap] 24/7/2003 17:03

Nice move up today on a bit of buying. Hope to see the same tomorrow...

[blopblup] 24/7/2003 02:19

Sorry had to post even on hols.bbbb,you're beginning to panic,in the absence of any news this is good.Just wait till more orders come in!!!

[bbbb] 24/7/2003 01:25

Spot the difference.

The notice issued on 1st July 2003 ‘Atlantic Global wins contract with Norwich Union’ bears an uncanny resemblance to the notice a year earlier issued 15th May 2002 ‘Atlantic Global wins contract with Norwich Union’, reproduced below:

15/05/2002 08:35 AFXF

LONDON (AFX) - Atlantic Global PLC, a specialist developer of time and resource management software applications, said it has been awarded a major new contract by Norwich Union Life Services Ltd, part of Norwich Union. The contract is expected to be worth over 200,000 stg in the current financial year, said the group. Under the contract Atlantic Global will supply over 2,100 licenses for its "Adeo" time recording and project issue management software, consultancy advice and on-going product development to the group. The software will be installed throughout Norwich Union's UK office network. A three-year maintenance contract in respect of the software has also been signed, providing ongoing revenues. slm/ For more information and to contact AFX: www.afxnews.com and www.afxpress.com

it’s well worth studying the difference in the market action before, and reaction after both announcements.

In both cases the shares started rising in expectation two months before the news. Last year they rose from about 25p in march to 40 when the news was released, ( having touched 45), and after a drop to 33 and a bounce, declined steadily to 25 in february.

This year they rose from 30 in may to 85, having touched 100, currently 73p. Although the general market is higher this year, the percentage addition to turnover by the contracts in both years is similar., though the percentage gain in the share price is not.

The quick of mind may conclude either that the shares didn’t rise enough last year - even though they fell back afterwards, - or that this year they may have risen too much, too fast. If the latter is the case, the stake sales of 500,000 and 300,000 in the 50,s and 80,s by northern aim may look to have been well timed!

[hans solo] 23/7/2003 21:05

why oh why did i buy theses shares at 89p and not sell them at about a pound,please return my brain,i promise not to do it again!

[ddav] 21/7/2003 09:50

I don't like the above !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re ATL, Yes more annoucements more price rises

[blopblup] 20/7/2003 18:25

trt,yes I did not notice.ATl will no doubt provoke the same response in months to come.

[trt] 20/7/2003 06:23

blopblup,

You would have noticed my comments on the GB BB. I shall be looking forward to the guaranteed £5 figure that First group will pay if two further franchises are won.
Have a read of my posts going back several months. I bought in just below £1.75.
I believe ttjohnson has also invested in GB.
There is still time to buy in here folks as the acceptance date is not until 06/08/03.

[hans solo] 19/7/2003 23:55

nice to hear the debate,i think i had better sell ght and top up atl,ght seem to be dropping very quickly,could be wrong , bit like gambling .

[blopblup] 19/7/2003 22:08

ddav,there lies the beauty of investing...the great uncertainty...is this the next sage or even microsoft,we all dream and whislt both atl and ght are in their infantcy then who knows....there are risks attached to both these companies but what you have to do is assess the risks and then invest,that's why i invested in atl.Time will tell whether i was right or wrong but my instincts tell me either atl will roar or get snapped up by a bigger fish,hopefully at a nice premium.See my earlier post about gb railways...43p to £3 in 12 months....

[ddav] 19/7/2003 20:34

The truth is "No-one knows" --- Here you have ATL in it's comparative infancy -

a tiddler breaking new ground with effective cost saving solutions that work!

Gresham --- well established in a similar vein -- geared up to supply on demand some revolutionary software that could be the de-facto standard big time.

Both co's have a place in the markets and both could exceed people's expectations many times.
With pensions running low and effective cost saving a priority the banking and finance sectors need greater efficiency to drive up profits as far as I can see.

[blopblup] 19/7/2003 18:14

alroyrob,nice to hear from you.You are correct both about growth and med/long term investment.The days of 35p are gone and by chance if they do come(wishful thinking)then it will be time to top up but alas with the new norwich union contract and the new software and what with the presentation other day,the emphasis has changed on this stock.I was reading daily mail today and it looked at the rise of gb railways from 43p to £3 within 12 months,so what changed there, just the potential and prospects and of course first group bidding for the company.The point is ATL won't have escaped these attractions and once it get noticed who knows.....asking bbbb won't solve anything except he will offer you his opinion just like I do....as somebody once said "nothing ventured,nothing gained."The next few months will be very exciting indeed.

[alroyrob] 19/7/2003 16:48

bbbb:

Ok, so despite their obvious loss, there may well be some 'punters'(in a T10/T20 position) who bought in expecting a 'fast buck' after the announcement who may be disappointed/impatient and are now selling up to move on to another announcement/results due stock.

Anyway, after I researched ATL I decided to invest, with the intention of holding for the medium/long term, due to overwhelming positive GROWTH information.

I'm sure there are many others who are doing the same.

I would suggest to anyone who is getting impatient and thinking of selling, to re-read the AGM statement and the recent announcement.....

....'How do you feel now? what are you going to do?

.....do your research. draw your own conclusions. some work
may be involved. do it before you SELL more'!

[adriand] 19/7/2003 15:49

I don't know - nmitra's ramping is as relevant as saying that atl is the next ght - total bollxs
