Future Internet Technologies, in which investor Robert Bonnier is the largest single shareholder, gained 23.9 per cent to 259p ahead of its interim figures today. With almost 2m shares traded, talk in the market was of stakebuilding, with Microsoft one mooted name.

chaps, dotcom mania is back, and i don't mean private investors, institutions would have raised eyebrows 12 months ago at raising further money at ridiculous prices, but in a bull market fund managers are bigger fools than PIs. just look at all the money they have lost in the dotcom boom.

If VoIP is really the buzz word that FTI management are talking about then i know where i'd rather put my money, in Newport Networks, they are in that field where price is at 12 month low and are about to complete a placing on 23 january for £15m, market cap of £11m before the placing plus products on the market not to forget big clients, plus the Welsh multi-millionaire on board.
I believe sometime we PIs can do better than institutions.

The big question is credit agricole. The assumption is they are buying these from the market but haven't looked at numbers. Maybe this is not the case. Why are they buying them and how much are they paying for them are the big questions (could they be purchasing from another investor for 5p for example).

Among mid-caps, SCi Entertainment gave up 22p to 510p, making a 13 per cent fall on the week. Jittery investors took that slide as evidence that long-running takeover talks, in which Midway Games, of the US, is said to be the frontrunner, may be faltering. However, dealers suggested that the fall had as much to do with margin calls faced by a single investor, Lykke Capital, a 6.5 per cent holder said to be connected to Robert Bonnier, the financier. Bits Corporation, the developer of video game software, rose 5p to 33p before next week's shareholder vote on a capital raising.

City:
Tech firms soar but the Sun man sinks

THE benchmark FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250 may have chalked up fantastic gains but outside the top 350 the most stunning rise of the year was posted by the online auction group QXL Ricardo, which soared a staggering 1,260.8pc.

Shares began their ascent after a bidding war broke out between QXL's management and the cash shell Florissant. But QXL's climb to pounds 113.33 was largely due to technical reasons: with the shares tightly held, bearish investors were constantly forced to buy back stock at higher prices.

Future Internet Technologies, a cash shell, surged 1,153.8pc after former Scoot boss Robert Bonnier bought a 14pc stake. Ultrasis, a developer of computer-based treatment for depression and anxiety, soared 497pc after the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence recommended its therapy.

Pie maker Canterbury Foods tumbled 96.9pc to 1.12p after the Aim-listed group plunged into the red and put itself up for sale.

Sanctuary Group, the music management company behind acts such as Elton John and Joss Stone, also joined the 90pc club, after a string of profit warnings. Magazine publisher Highbury House ran out of cash and slumped 90.1pc. Former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie bought a 20pc stake but quit as executive chairman after three months, "defeated by a mountain of debt''.

This share was one of the Investor Chronicle 'Dogs of the Year' for 2005 - shares that have fallen so low they can only go up. The IC demonstrates that buying a portfolio of the 10 most canine shares can be one of the best annual equity investments - a dead cat bounce (apologies for the awful pun) or some such effect usually kicks in to reverse the super low valuations. By my calculations, FTI has now risen between 700-800% since the IC tip. I think it is time to bail out and wait for the news - the rumours are likely to be far more exciting than the reality.

Following the Clever Money

Some of the best investing and trading results I have had in recent years have been from riding on the coat tails of investors far brighter than myself, investors who have done far more research on a company than I will ever be inclined to do myself.

It can be a tedious process following all the dealings that get reported through the RNS announcements, but I try to maintain a list of major stakes and holdings in nearly three hundred UK companies. This allows me to keep track of who is increasing or decreasing their stakes in certain key companies. (see this sample)

Companies Act disclosure requirements allow private investors to keep track of the activities of shrewd investors who have a proven track record of successful investing. Websites, such as Citywire, also dig around below the surface by accessing shareholder registers, to discover early stake building below the reportable 3% level. Proven successful investors often have a wealth of experience, and are much better placed to make successful investment decisions in less-researched smaller companies than private investors will ever be.

A couple of things are worth noting:

Small investors who follow bigger stake builders have an advantage in that they can nimbly move in and out of positions quickly. A large shareholding, however, can be hard to both establish and later exit, and so dictates a degree of commitment. Smaller investors can follow but enter and exit at will.
Because takeover rules limit stakes to 29.9% without making a mandatory takeover offer, some share price weakness can ensue after the stake builder increases their stake rapidly to that level, and then stops without bidding. Stake building in a company that starts to approach 29.9% can be both bullish and bearish for the share price in the short-term.

Shrewd investors
Listed below are some of the shrewd investors and shareholder activists who invariably seem to spot value in companies at an early stage, and whose lead it can be profitable to follow.

Jack Petchey (Trefick)
Property entrepreneur, Jack Petchey, acquires stakes in listed real estate companies trading at significant discounts to NAV through his Isle of Man investment vehicle, Trefick. He also has considerable experience in the motor distributor sector, and has had a great deal of success investing in the sector. He takes large stakes in companies, and puts pressure on management to restructure in order to maximise shareholder value.

Time and again companies that Petchey invests in become takeover targets shortly afterwards. The most recent example being property company, Estates & General, which was bid for by Winten, shortly after Petchey accumulated a 29% holding.

A common strategy he uses is to launch tender offers for his target, which can be a good barometer for gauging how loose or 'sticky' shareholders are, as well as demonstrating how undervalued the company is.

Saville Gordon eventually agreed to buy Trefick's 29% stake in December 2000, to get him off the shareholder register (in what was, effectively, greenmail), and was eventually taken off the market in an MBO in May 2002. Petchey is a classic facilitator.

Peter Gyllenhammar
Swedish activist investor, Peter Gyllenhammar, specialises in companies trading at substantial discounts to net asset value or in need of restructuring, often through his investment vehicles, Erudite, Förvaltnings AB and Silverslaggen. He often seeks board representation and works closely with management. Gyllenhammar has a background as an analyst and corporate finance advisor to several major Swedish corporations. He has interests in a number of UK public companies, and is chairman of British Mohair Holdings, and a director of Browallia International. Current significant holdings include Densitron Technologies, European Colour, The Jarvis Porter Group, Lonrho Africa and The Sherwood Group.

Bob Morton
Arthur Leonard 'Bob' Morton is well known as a serial and entrepreneurial West Midlands investor, who often utilises his investment vehicle, Southwind, to make strategic investments. He returned several times his investment when he took a 15% stake in Tenon, the accountancy and professional services firm in February 2003. He is believed to be worth more than £100m, has investments in over twenty quoted companies and is chairman of numerous companies, including Armour Group, HARRIER GROUP and Systems Union.

Future Internet Technologies PLC

ACTIVITIES: The development of internet software technology

I've just been scanning all the AIM listed companies
on the London Stock Exchange's website.

Its incredible how many companies, just like FTI, don't
even have their own company website.

I know nothing at all about Future Internet Technologies PLC,
and maybe that suits them if they can't even manage to put up
a website. Doesn't bode well to me. I could do them a
futuristic flash website for £150. Get the chequebook out FTI
for a website to tell the world, potential customers and clients,
and investors about your business.

Future Internet Technologies - with a company name like that you
would sure expect them to have their own website.

How can all these AIM listed get away without even a basic frontpage
web-presence?

HM.
