well i'm back in for the first time since 50 odd p (i always sell too early on the way up, but what can you do)

the new investor is interesting, and underpins the price at these levels imo.

until, of course, it doesn't

[stockscreeners] 27/5/2008 00:25

26.9% of £8 million, lol lol lol lol lol

[philjeans] 26/5/2008 10:49

26.9% IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT CHUNK - DID YOU MISS THAT?

[stockscreeners] 26/5/2008 10:44

a significant stake, LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.

[philjeans] 26/5/2008 08:46

Great opportunity to catch the bounce here; going up. I very much like the news of the new investors taking a significant stake.

[stockscreeners] 26/5/2008 00:17

8p target on this stock FSG.

[cymbelline] 25/5/2008 07:43

I have nothing against shorters per se, I short stocks myself, but I'd advise anyone following stockscreeners to take what he says with a pinch of salt. He's just posted a Crest data chart on the rnvo thread and altered the date from 22.4 to 22.5 to try and suggest there's a huge amount of short interest that will have to be closed.

[stockscreeners] 23/5/2008 20:38

nice fall today.

keeping the short open and expect 8p.

[robbiepaul] 21/5/2008 18:09

Ged5,

lol.

Couple of sells there near the end.Probably buyers from lower down.

Anzini see value here at FSG and so do I.Maybe we can breach former highs of 60-70p,especially if Anzini decide they want more of FSG.

Come on robbie, you missed this bit from Azini:-

"We focus on quality assets with good future prospects for which we can justify paying market prices. Whether acquiring all or part of a company, we are looking to deploy between £3 million and £10 million per company – including follow on funding." :)

Commenting on its recent investment, Nick Habgood of Azini Capital said:
"We were impressed with the focus:360° product. Combined with the company's existing domain expertise, blue chip customer base and reputation for technical competence and delivery, we conclude that there is a great deal of value to be unlocked during the expansion of the company in the coming months and years."

Outlook bright.


"Outlook

Demand in our main markets of Banking and Life and Pensions remains robust. The
current conditions in the mortgage market have had a limited impact on trading
in the year to date. Customers are still actively investing in new front office
technology solutions to meet competitive pressures and required regulatory
changes. New business enquiries at present are higher than the corresponding
period last year and we remain confident of meeting expectations for the year as
a whole.

Focus' reputation in the market and the development of new market propositions,
including focus:360, will enable the Group to differentiate itself from other
vendors and become the benchmark by which other companies are judged.

The Group will continue to develop new business within the financial services
market, increasing our market coverage in the UK and Ireland and extending the
depth of our solution capabilities within this market. Our focus for the year is
to concentrate on improving profitability within the Group and we feel that we
are in a good position moving forward. We have a strong pipeline in place and
the right people, skills and technology to enable Focus to continue its growth.

MCKCAP £8.55m with £2M in cash???

LOL.

No wonder there is stake building going on.

Good business this.

[cockneyrebel] 21/5/2008 08:27

If FSG are true to form they will announce a nice contract win ahead of the results and now the stock overhang has cleared.

17TH JUNE.

[stoop] 21/5/2008 07:58

When are the results due?

TIA

[robbiepaul] 21/5/2008 07:39

Morning all.

Very low Mckcap here of £8.55M and only 29.47m shares in issue so any stake building will have a magnified effect on the share price

Anzini capital must be confident to take a 29% stake.

Lets see where this breakout takes us.

RP.

[robbiepaul] 20/5/2008 19:09

Agree philjeans.

It will get very interesting if/when we break 35-36p on the run up to results.

Chart looks set to go higher IMHO.

RP.

[philjeans] 20/5/2008 16:09

Back in here today on the news; held a big chunk last year and sold well - looks like a repeat performance coming up.

Good value on the growth story and the new investors will push it on much quicker.

Clearly time to buy.

[robbiepaul] 20/5/2008 16:07

Good strength today.

Still under half of where it was at its peak last year.

Plenty more to come IMHO.
