GuruNostradamus, or can I call you Michel ?

Your knowledge of the stock market mainipulations, is indeed an insight to us disciple's, we await your further words of enlightenment, on this particular animal.

...my dearest disciple...jurassic...the small trades are supposed manipulation by the big boys to hold a price at a particular level untill they comeback from the loo to or their lunches or their coffee breaks to do some 'real' work...these professionals probably think it is a successful method of holding share prices...take care...

Jrossi
Not with you, expand on the point.

[jrossi] 29/11/2006 13:34

...my dearest disciples...2eye...i thank you for your comments and some very unwise words of humility...as the wise have said...every being has the capacity to develop himself/herself to great heights of wisdom and knowledge... indeed knowlegde is great thing and one may have to travel to the end of the universe to acquire knowledge...alas i do not claim to have knowledge...for i have just started to learn...maybe i am not even on the first rung of the ladder...always trust your own judgement and do not trust these charlatan gurus who come on these bbs claiming to be all knowing...
...as for the donkey it should get to 100p in 12 mooncycles time...with one or two downhill bumps on the way...however as the wise have said...nothing is certain in life...but death... always have faith and trust in the Supreme Will...for we are all servants of the Great Providence...take care...

Back in, bought my own shares back, need a breakout sometime.

[spec2] 27/11/2006 09:33

"GN"

What's the latest on this donkey ? that 100p prediction has converted me , I remain your servant ! knowledge is a great thing , wish I had yours !

[finess] 26/11/2006 15:48

GN,
I closed my position on 17/11 thinking a retrace was on the cards, Wrong of me, see what monday brings.

[gurunostradamus] 23/11/2006 17:49

...my dearest disciples...this donkey is showing a good steady progress...and indeed as stated a few weeks ago...a good steady move is better than a galloping horse who does not finish the course...a few pennies in single figures uphill rise will suffice every week...and assuming that this donkey remains independent then this time next year it should rise to +100p...God willing...take care...and enjoy this steady slow rise...however let us hope and pray that there is no quick takeover of this donkey for surely we will get much smaller value than its actual worth which is a few hundred pennies in 36 mooncycles time...take care...

The takeover rumour has been going since Feb 2006, initially it was thought that the second telekoms company in SA was about to make a bid.

[sc000008] 23/11/2006 12:12

here come the big boys....look at those trades 42.375....

[sc000008] 23/11/2006 12:10

the bidding could start at 55p but for future earnings would not go for less than 70p .. a bid would attract attention to the diversty of this multinational.

Market Report: Dimension Data in the frame for takeover
By Andrew Dewson
Published: 23 November 2006
The word among technology investors is that Dimension Data, the South Africa-based reseller of Cisco Systems infrastructure kit and manager of IT services, is in the frame for a takeover bid.

The shares topped the mid-cap risers yesterday with a 1.5p gain to 42p, although there was little indication as to who the bidder might be. If a bid does come, it is unlikely to be much comfort to long-term shareholders, but traders are talking about a take-out price of up to 55p per share so there is some potential upside left in the stock. Even so, as it was once a member of the FTSE 100 back in the dotcom-boom days, traders said that a takeover at any price will come as a relief to some holders.

Anyone seen article in the independent today?
DDT in the frame for takeover

[jrossi] 23/11/2006 07:37

Showing some signs of life, can't really add any educated comments as to why. This share has confused many, down on good news, up and down on bad. My point is that DD does not seem to move within the so called rules of trading, have held for ages now and hope to see some return. Would be good if someone could add some opinion to whats happening.

[spec2] 22/11/2006 20:12

Guru Nostradamus, or is it Nostradameus , well he was something else, Eh ?

Is this donkey finally responding to A.P.R. and rising like the proverbial Phoenix ?

Your wisdom on this "pesticide" will be infinitely appreciated for my long term monetary gratification.

Give us the technical chart stuff again, that was superb !

TSYS Forms Managed-Services Joint Venture with Dimension Data
Tuesday November 21, 1:00 am ET
Alliance strengthens scope of contact-center support across EMEA region


COLUMBUS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TSYS (NYSE: TSS - News), one of the world's largest payment-services providers, today announced a joint-venture agreement with Merchants, a customer-contact company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Dimension Data, to deliver a comprehensive range of managed services to financial institutions across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The joint venture combines the call-center capabilities of Merchants with TSYS' special business unit known as TSYS Managed Services, both of which specialize in customer-servicing operations, including back-office, cross-selling and up-selling activities for financial institutions engaged in card issuing and merchant acquiring. The companies have agreed that financial terms of the joint venture will not be disclosed.

The new venture will be called TSYS Managed Services EMEA, and includes existing Merchants centers that comprise more than 200 seats in Milton Keynes, England, near London, and Barneveld, The Netherlands, near Amsterdam. The joint venture is expected to add future centers in other countries throughout Europe and in South Africa.

"This agreement strengthens our position to deliver managed services with quality in Europe and the broader region," says David R. Figgat, group executive for TSYS Managed Services. "Because of their excellent reputation and dedication to quality, Merchants is an ideal partner to join our global strategy of offering 'best-shoring' and 'right-shoring' choices to our clients."

Adam Foster, General Manager at Merchants, commented, "TSYS and Merchants have been delivering managed services to clients for the past two years. Extending this relationship to a formal partnership is testament to the success of the relationship which has resulted in first class service delivery for TSYS clients. The combined focus of both parties will continue to be the delivery of the highest quality managed services."

TSYS established TSYS Managed Services in 2005, integrating the company's contact centers and customer-servicing operations of several subsidiaries and business units into a streamlined division. Since the consolidation, TSYS Managed Services has improved economies of scale and increased the overall scope of services that are available to TSYS clients.

sc000008,

I wouldn't call it ramblings, I can see your logic quite clearly !
Since I have been trading DDT over the years, I can say I have made money and conversely to a lesser degree, lost a bit too, hoping my luck is changing to make again, and soon. Keep up your positive comments, they are much appreciated !
