400k buys today? some one is now starting to buy.

It all comes down to strategy. Being an ex-employee of one of these companies (not saying which) gives me a little extra insight. The CUC board know where they want to go and how to get there - just depends if they have enough money to do it. (Interims advise that based on customers' forecasts, they will have enough cash, but forecasts have never been accurate from automotive buyers).
The DVS board are reactive and will take whatever opportunity (retail, automotive, one-offs) is screaming loudest to them at the time (sometimes these are opportunities that no-one else wants). The DVS contracts are mostly with Car marketing companies (importers, after sales, dealer fit), not the manufacturers themselves for line-fit. As these systems gain popularity and are driven back up the supply chain the manufacturers will fit them on-line and CUC's strategy should then be the more profitable.
All IMHO

Still dont understand why CUC should get such a good rating when
their Rival Dvs gets such a poor rating yet a quick glance at news
on both shows Dvs is miles ahead on progress, orders and profits.

I'm not saying that Cuc wont come good but if Cuc can be valued at
6 million then why is Dvs not at least the same.

have spoken to a few people who are very poss about the future. also the share options start to kick in at about £1. they did say along time ago that would not b in profit at the first half. and looking to pay divi in the future.only 13 mill shares now will not take much buying to get to a £1.

Off Topic:

Compare the news of CUC to that of DVS (Designer Vision)

Designer Vision sees FY well ahead of current market forecasts

LONDON (AFX) - Designer Vision Group PLC, which supplies portable multimedia
systems, said it expects results for the year to Dec 31 2006 to be well ahead of
current market forecasts after trading in the first five months of the current
year came in significantly ahead of the same period last year.
The company also said it has arranged a convertible loan of up to 1 mln stg
through a facility provided by the Headstart Funds.
The board said it believes that the facility, which has been provided to
fund increased working capital requirements, will be repaid within the 180 days
term of the loan from the cash generated from the current level of orders due
for delivery over this period.
Chairman and CEO Angelo Panayiotou said the group is making rapid progress
in securing major orders and in developing new products for its retailing
customers, particularly those operating in global markets.

[quidzinn] 26/6/2006 09:57

[123adv] 26/6/2006 09:24

bargain price today - buy it and you will reap the rewards- if things start improving then this will shoot up quick

[quotes_4_u] 26/6/2006 09:12

If anybody is seriously thinking of buying CUC then surely they
must buy Dvs instead, Dvs is their rival and is quite clearly
out-performing them on all departments yet has a much lower market-cap.

Taken from the RNS...

"Outlook and future prospects
As a matter of good practice we have required that our Auditor Ernst & Young LLP
review this interim statement. As a matter of emphasis, Ernst & Young LLP have
stated that, in the context of the recently completed restructuring and the
ramping up of the new strategy, there remains a fundamental uncertainty as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless the Company
continues to perform in line with management's forecasts, and the Directors
confirm that the working capital available to the Company will be sufficient for
its present requirements for at least the next 12 months, based upon their
reasonable assumptions.!

Well i wonder what is going to happen to this share over the next few weeks? are we going to tick down and down with no news, we are now under 1p on the old shares. Any views?

[mitchy] 16/6/2006 07:25

Another big order for Centurian would be nice.Anyone know anything?

[k123] 30/5/2006 07:54

They tried to lower SP?
And did it work?

[cgod] 26/5/2006 10:13

What nutter sold at 0.75p? Must be mad. Share split on tuesday, could be a fun day with only 13 Mill of shares.

[hopeless698] 13/5/2006 10:30

could be some news soon re. this order from Saudia

[sven2006] 21/4/2006 10:42

could be they granted these to fool investors, then take the money and run - very dodgy looking company.

[cgod] 19/4/2006 13:46

At least they have a reason for getting the company into profit. share price could take off soon.
