I'm afraid I think it far more likely that the two 132,629 trades are a matched pair put through the market for record purposes - possibly an institutional portfolio shufffle.
However, I find the fact that the price appears to have quickly stabilised at a similar level to a week or two back distinctly encouraging.

another 100,000 shares bought @ midprice

[dpeach] 22/7/2009 12:59

Flow... uppola. 180p a new base?

[dpeach] 22/7/2009 11:48

wow 265000 shares bought @ 11:42, look like institution buys ?

[dpeach] 21/7/2009 21:41

interesting trades through @ the close 70,000 shares bought at 4:29 & 5:15 (20,000 & 50,000)...

I was only suggesting the possible reason for the hike yesterday. I didn't buy in, but I might have today but when there is negativity in any RNS these days I won't buy because of the risk that message implies. FT piece seems reasonable enough and Celcis remains on my tracker

[dpeach] 21/7/2009 11:34

currently managed to recover back in line with base of up channel !!!
Flow rolla coasta today

or not....

[dpeach] 21/7/2009 10:04

regaining some ground, close that gap

[mmickyboy] 21/7/2009 09:53

i agree dpeach

hi silverfern (hello as presume in yesterday if followed FT, goodbye as presume sold out this morning)
Also read the FT article I think DS was tipping for longer term, ref. the last sentence:

"Management's focus on the bottom line helps to explain why Celsis has turned in six consecutive years of pre-tax profit growth and is on course for another increase. In spite of this sterling record, house broker Nomura notes that the company currently trades on an earnings multiple of 7.1 times historic earnings from continuing operations. This figure is significantly below its peer group multiple. It suggests to me that there is further upside potential for the share price when the economy begins to improve.

Celsis is strongly cash- generative and has a healthy balance sheet. To my way of thinking, these shares are a safe place to park money in troubled economic times."

[silverfern] 21/7/2009 09:17

I was tracking as a result of the FT article. In the current climate the first sniff of negativity and peoploe will avoid. I'm in that camp. IDH looks a better bet (HMO, FWIW DYOR)

[dpeach] 21/7/2009 09:13

just checked trade date so far, for both PLUS & LSE
BUYS - 42,700 : SELLS - 62,700 - so not really all one way

[dpeach] 21/7/2009 09:04

mmickyboy, have to agree a bit late to be selling (?), looking at the volumes made up of small trades and short term merchants. Interesting to see what comes out of AGM

[dpeach] 21/7/2009 09:01

Riv, it was 'challenging' last year as well but over the year profit increase and
as you know Celsis usually stronger in 3 and 4 quarters.
Flow, agree sales increasing in rapid detection, analytical services on a par, and IVT at present off target but expected to benefit with new distribution deals

[mmickyboy] 21/7/2009 09:00

I dont think it reads too bad either, quite the opposite in fact, recent trend line still unbroken, bit late to be selling i would think but we will see.

[rivaldo] 21/7/2009 08:33

I was out first thing for a small loss - fortunately my holding was small enough this time to allow a quick exit. There should be more than enough time to accumulate a hlding at lower prices now as the impact of the "challenging" Q1 sinks in.

This share never seems to sustain any momentum. I'll watch on the sidelines again. Most frustrating. How long will CEL's trading take to pick up is the question....

[prokartace] 21/7/2009 07:39

What a fine specimen of a chart. What I like about this share is you always know when it is time to buy or hold or sell

[dpeach] 20/7/2009 17:07

From todays Naked Trader update, has yet to set his new target for it though...

Celsis is looking very good now - it's soared today and it if can break 200, that would be marvellous.

[go with the flow] 20/7/2009 16:23

Wow - just switched on the old 'puter' & uppola indeed ;o)

A close above 200p would be very positive.
Not even close to the up-channel resistance line & if 200+p is sustained then next stop 210p at least.

Look forward to the trading update - somewhere somebody knows something!

DECLARATION:> I hold and have held since 16-Aug-02 at a base cost per share of £0.625.

As slightly better tip (imo etc) than RNO where he was very wrong. As a core holding I will not be selling (on this upswing though tempted) but this is a very slow burn share with no dividend.

If you age looking for dividends probably best left alone but for a multi year lock up then (again imo etc) share price growth should be significantly ahead of inflation.

[dpeach] 20/7/2009 09:35

Wait to see what trading update tomorrow brings, as think last time David Schwarz bought in was around 140p, so probably is better informed than us. Good start would be a close at 200p+

[dpeach] 20/7/2009 08:41

cheers Riv good stuff...
