Day finishes with volume over 13 million that must be the highest volume this year. There were several 1 million trades and one 4 million trade.

Maybe the deal is coming close.

Market still seems keen on CMX at the moment, but it could just be another cycle of the 3-4p yo-yo. I guess will find out shortly if this latest move has any substance in fact.

[mountpleasant] 05/5/2006 14:15

Volume seems to have picked up in last few days. Any reason for this?

[morgs] 04/5/2006 16:48

Great volume, looks like tomorrow might be interesting !

It was that broker note and a man who holds around 80m of these is the reason why I am long. BTW chop a few zero's off and you get to mine.

[red ninja] 04/5/2006 16:38

Long,

Evolution research note on CMX from November 05. Put a price target on CMX 8p+. The company has been telling us the outlook is good in interims and news so far seems to point to the turnaround track. The key thing will be the SIS dividend in Autumn which is supposed to be good or the rumoured corporate action.

Evolution note on CMX website :-

I wonder too, that is why I am sitting here after all this time, interesting volume I heard murmers about wanting to increase the SIS stake, how would be a different matter.

Hi Red Ninja

What is your take on the share price if this deal in the papers happens? do not hold stock, but have been looking at this for a whils and looks undervalued based on SIS alone.

Long

[red ninja] 04/5/2006 13:31

Seems to be a high volume today.

I wonder if news is coming shortly ?

[treborbob] 30/4/2006 11:30

I hope its not us that gets stuffed though! LOL

[theheadchef] 13/4/2006 10:27

WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS I HOPE.........

[treborbob] 13/4/2006 10:11

What a turkey! Maybe it will happen for Christmas?

[theheadchef] 12/4/2006 17:42

I can wait as long as it's worth it in the end........................

[bsg] 12/4/2006 14:29

I expect we'll get suspended for 6-months while they sort that out.

[budbear] 12/4/2006 14:13

Nice little piece in todays FT, no smoke without fire, here's hoping.

*Catalyst Media Group, which owns a 17.6 per cent stake in Satellite Information Services, a sports content provider, improved 7.7 per cent to 3½p amid talk that it was working on a deal to buy a US gaming book publisher. The acquisition is likely to be structured as a reverse takeover and is believed to have the blessing of Catalyst's biggest shareholder, hedge fund Marshall Wace. Traders also believe the dividend Catalyst receives from SIS, which supplies live horse-racing pictures to bookmakers in the UK, will be larger than expected.

I don't think anything will move this price because of continuous false hopes and vast waste of capital

[red ninja] 06/4/2006 15:42

SIS dividend is due Autumn.

There are still rumours of corporate action, but nothing formal yet.

[lplp] 05/4/2006 13:38

Very dull, we could do with news of an SIS dividend to liven things up

[theheadchef] 17/3/2006 13:52

So do I.....................

[red ninja] 16/3/2006 12:40

Looks like the hot money is exiting again.

I wonder were the share price will bottom this time ?

[red ninja] 13/3/2006 19:36

The interims were very upbeat and supposedly the outlook for the SIS dividend is good.

Hard to know if the talk of corporate action will come to anything and I'm not sure I'd want to hold if it does. I would prefer that CMX just grew organicly and became a cash cow through its SIS hold even if the cash is only given out once every four years.

I guess patience is still the order of the day....

[bsg] 13/3/2006 11:10

Spread doesn't help much.

[morgs] 13/3/2006 09:36

All this volume and then ......nothing ?

[red ninja] 03/3/2006 13:37

I'm a bit worried about "expanding the business", given we've just sold off aload of loss makers.
