But of course 'zobins' the powers that be at CVS would not want a low CVS share price.
I think it's all beginning to fall into place.

[zobnins] 11/7/2007 16:29

there is something to it to say the least

[waldof] 11/7/2007 16:25

Does not today's price action point to the very distinct possibility that todays FT could be correct?

[the drewster] 11/7/2007 16:04

Each to their own, I will continue to hold, and top up along the way as others lock in profits.

[humbugg] 11/7/2007 15:36

the drew,
this deal seems to be taking an age. how much time do they need???
starting to get the odd bearish thought.

[the drewster] 10/7/2007 17:33

Will look to top up hre, but would like to know of any substantial reasoning behind the recent falls.
Have topped up with CMM as believe it will be a shorter term play.

[zobnins] 10/7/2007 17:06

is that a CMM effect?

[water30] 02/7/2007 14:53

I topped up earlier. CVS has huge potential and is a bargain at these prices.

[balla] 02/7/2007 13:42

very tempted to buy some more then if that is the sole reason for the drop.

[humbugg] 02/7/2007 09:35

balla,
i think the above statement might have something to do with it.

[balla] 02/7/2007 09:34

Bit of a drop this morning!

Andrew Regan's Corvus Capital has said unrealised investment gains at 31 March were £36.9 million, despite £2 million interim revenue losses.

AIM-quoted investment group Corvus, which raised £2.9 million at 12.5p in January, made £9.3 million on capital activities in the six months to March and shows a £7.3 million combined revenue and capital profit for the half year in question. Hertfordshire-based Corvus has 20.2 per cent of commodity venture Commoditrade, which in December reported 'preliminary discussions' with several potential bidders and in May said these discussions were continuing.

Corvus, which placed its stake in insurance group Gable Holdings for £1.9 million in February, holds 46 per cent of de-listed ex-AIM counter Global Structured Finance, which bought 13.4 per cent of US-based oil and gas group Darcy Energy Holdings and has raised the equivalent of £9 million through a US convertible bond. Corvus also holds 17.2 per cent of gem sorting innovator Diamond Tech Inc, which raised £4.25 million with an AIM float last month and now has a market value of £22 million.

Shares in Corvus, highlighted by Growth Company Investor at 14.25p last July and again at 17.25p in February, have now reached 25.25p. Partial profit taking might be prudent, but they should have scope for further growth over the medium term.

Just shuffling the pack, Humbugg. Still the same number of cards.

[humbugg] 29/6/2007 16:43

A2584728,
Could you expand on that statement please.

Because there are millions of shares in the brokers back book and therefore no need to move price to get or sell stock./

[zobnins] 29/6/2007 11:50

how come trades that big, however these are executed, do not move the share price the tiniest bit? Opinions're welcome!

[the drewster] 26/6/2007 13:45

Should really take this to the NAN thread, but I liken the technology to the little computers inside your car. Imagine going to the doctor, and having him scan the chip you have in your wrist, to then be able, unobtrusuvely, to tell you what your body is liking or complaining about. The potential (and hence the profits) is almost limitless, though suspect several years before ultimate exit point.

Yes and these treatments are the next wonder treatments for cancer and other ills.

[the drewster] 26/6/2007 12:42

I tend to agree A, I have been building a position and it seems all the right faces are doing much the same. Interesting times ahead I suggest, and firmly believe Toumaz could change the Mkt Cap by factors overnight with the right deal.

[a2584728] 26/6/2007 12:38

Get into NAN that will be corvus's next great big mover.

[humbugg] 26/6/2007 08:51

ianood,
dont you mean "gordo spin" ??

[ianood] 26/6/2007 08:29

Thanks waldof, I was just concerned that this was "Blairite spin" :)

[humbugg] 26/6/2007 08:24

diamond tech looks very interesting. anyone on this thread know more than the norm about this company. will diamond tech use its technology for the other CVS related companies??? (GSF)

[waldof] 26/6/2007 08:19

ianood:Because they no longer need to raise money perhaps and/or they will seek a more relevant listing in S.Africa in the near future. Thoughts only for the moment..

[ianood] 26/6/2007 08:16

The interims make for excellent reading, however, can somebody pls explain:

"Corvus was pleased to note that Global Structured Finance ("GSF") had acquired a 13.4 per cent holding in US-based oil and gas development and production company, Darcy Energy Holdings UK Ltd. GSF recently secured new funding via the issue of a convertible bond raising US$18 million in new money for GSF. Corvus holds 46 per cent of GSF which was recently de-listed from AIM."

Why is the de-listing pleasing news? I
