Holding steady before the next leg up.

[cgod] 20/1/2015 09:51

Keep our EYES open for more buys from DCD Rights.

[stonesp2] 20/1/2015 09:14

NATPE Miami from today - DCD there..

[cgod] 20/1/2015 08:12

First 150 buy of the day, will not take a lot to move this back up.

[alphatrend1] 19/1/2015 21:09

Short term its overbought, needs a few days to settle down and digest the gains, maybe a further retrace or to go sideways is needed before moving higher.

If you look at a chart since December (when I entered) it waits till the 10 day moving average catches up to the share price and then moves higher (16/12, 31/12, 15/1) the 10 day MA is currently around 450 so in a few days its will catch up, this is where I have added to my position all imo dyor etc..

Ok - let's look at todays sells . Three in number .

First - 8.02 am - 83 @ £431.60 .
I assume that is the converse of the 83 buy on 16th
@ £481.40 . Obviously I may be wrong . Stop loss ?

Second - 9.27 am - 199 @ £1035 .
I assume that is the converse of the 199 buy on 16th
@ £995 . Again I may be wrong .
Was it worth it after expenses ?

Third - 10.40 am - 1000 @ £5000 .
Hmmm...puzzled .
Could that be the same person who sold 4 x 500 parcels
on the 16th , at 10.48 am , 10.48 am , 10.50 am and 11.14 am ?
(Assuming it was the same person of course) .
On a day the stock was rocketing .

--------

Doesn't strike me as profit taking !

--------

I really expected today for DCD to rise dramatically after
favourable RNS and press comment from the FT , though with
a "silly" widening of spread . Guess the mm's have stock on their books now !

Dunno - what thoughts ?

[cgod] 19/1/2015 11:57

Should see more news this week, from DCD Rights, big show in the US.

[stonesp2] 19/1/2015 11:19

Not surprising we have a few sellers.. Still a day tradable stock when it moves by 2 quid in as many days..

[someuwin] 19/1/2015 11:17

Should be buying here, not selling - imo.

[stonesp2] 18/1/2015 13:29

Not a problem.. Looking good for a little more movement..

[cgod] 18/1/2015 12:52

Thank you Stonesp2, and welcome to all the news posters on our thread.

Good to see we are getting noticed in the News papers as well as the Trade press.

Keep the news flow coming.

Good morning to all the luck one who have shares in DCD Media, The FT has an article on DCD in the small cap section, but I can not get into it as I do not subscribe, any one help please?



Small-cap Week, January 17

Kenmare, DCD Media,

Found this.

Now you can see why they are expanding the Rights business and why buying Sky sales and distribution was a great deal, and a lot more to come.

Indies make an increasing amount of money from international sales, so the choice of a good distribution partner is a critical one.

According to the Production 100, indies earned on average 11% of their revenues from exploiting their programme rights. The majority of the income, 8%, came from overseas sales, while 3% came from selling programmes to secondary UK broadcasters.

The superindie groups all have their own inhouse sales operations (All3Media, Endemol, Shine, Zodiak, Fremantle, DCD Media), which also act as sales agents for other producers. Larger indies, like Hat Trick and Two Four, often have their own operations. That leaves most medium sized and smaller indies with a choice of distributor, and many according to our poll, use the commercial arms of the key broadcasters, BBC Worldwide, ITV Global Entertainment and Sky Vision, as well as a range of independent distributors.

Most used distributor:
Based on indie responses to the question in the Production 100 survey: ‘which distributor handles your programme sales?’
1 BBC Worldwide
2 DRG
3 Zodiak Rights
4 ITV Global Entertainment
5 FremantleMedia
6 Endemol Worldwide Distribution
7 Electric Sky
8 Passion Distribution
9= All3Media International, Sky Vision, DCD Rights

6= Fremantle Enterprises, Endemol Worldwide Distribution, All3Media International, DCD Rights
10 Passion Distribution

Taken from the III board.

Another good read, good to see lots are now looking at this recovery.

Still no word about the final terms with ITVs Celebrity Squares , or the US sale of Penn & Teller (both in 2015 results).
Whatever the 2014 results show (breakeven IMHO), the Market is already looking forward to the Profit in 2015, the growth in new production and existing catalogue (which add long term value to the Co).
And don't forget the millions of losses that are worth 21% per annum on future profits (an annual asset by reducing the tax charge).

21trader, you are missing the point here, its not a traders stock. Lets see what the next 12 months or so bring. good luck to you, do you hold any?

"Rick Barker, Head of Sales at DCD Rights comments, “The demand for high quality primetime factual content remains very high in the international marketplace and Matchlight consistently delivers in this genre. Their recent specials, led by globally renowned personalities who are passionate about their subject matter, are generating a great deal of interest amongst our clients and we’re expecting to conclude more deals for these shows at NATPE alongside launching three fantastic new titles.”

NATPE is on in Miami next week Jan 20-22. So hopefully news of more deals then.

Bad if it's 500 share max sale after weeks of buying with no sales.

This has turned into a mm bonanza in the old days it was quite liquid but now
a few small trades in one direction can really effect the price.

lol treacle will not stick around for long cgod !

[someuwin] 16/1/2015 13:22

A bit of stock available now.As always with situations like this - buy when you can!

[someuwin] 16/1/2015 11:25

Yup - without some sells we'd never be able to buy any!

[cgod] 16/1/2015 11:25

Some guy selling in blocks of 500. Takes buyers and sellers to make the market.

[bonof] 16/1/2015 11:22
