and up again today.
on rumours or facts?

[canford cliffs] 17/2/2004 09:53

I heard that they have a possible I/R refund (6 figures).......

[tony14] 17/2/2004 08:54

Very strong move today on small volumes, any news out there?

Regards

[loss-leader] 16/2/2004 09:03

nope ..i'm in from several months back. volumes are tiny

[rambutan2] 15/2/2004 22:54

will be one of the great days if/when the consulting div finally reports a profit – has been promised for a long time. in any case, the price ticked up a little more on fri. did you buy on the rumour loss-leader?

[loss-leader] 15/2/2004 22:34

rumour has it that some of their consulting divisions are reporting strong upturn .. this is the engine which will feed the ipr machine. Lets see if YE results bring an encouraging trading statement

[games] 02/2/2004 01:16

according to venture reporter net the amount raised was $535,000 (cmr)

[games] 02/2/2004 01:06

basic at the mo, but cmr site up...

From Cambridge News, 28 Jan 2003:



Spin-out attracts new investment
LEADING energy technology venture capital firm, Conduit Ventures, and Carbon Trust Investments have invested in CMR Fuel Cells, a new spin-out from Generics Group at Harston.

The cells convert fuel such as hydrogen, methanol, methane, directly into electricity at higher efficiency than internal combustion engines. They also have the potential for higher power storage than lithium-ion batteries.

Generics says fuel cells could become the dominant technology for car engines, power stations and the power pack for portable electronics.

CMR's aim is to make the cells as small as possible, and a lot cheaper in a bid to overcome current market barriers.

The company has its eye on applications such as battery chargers, auxiliary power units, laptops, power tools, robots, generators, and other portable military applications.

Conduit says it put its money into CMR after searching for an investment with "game-changing" potential.

The new firm is led by Michael Priestnall, previously head of fuel cell consulting at Generics, and Michael Evans, formerly principal researcher at Cambridge University.

well, someone thinks they know something, looking at the trades recently compared to what ive seen most of the time over the last couple of years. but are they right?

[games] 29/1/2004 15:36

snip a few days old mentioning the fuel cell news. The cost and size savings certainly look impressive, i suppose if they're that good gen will make a mint, if not, then it may be a good idea to short sell all fc plays. btw how can call the others competing products? unless the key word here is 'aim'


CMR's patented design architecture aims to make fuel cells 10 times smaller and more powerful and up to 80 per cent cheaper than competing products, overcoming the key hurdles delaying mass-market global sales

[rambutan2] 28/1/2004 12:32

heres one that came good. pity we had to dump the shares...

Synaptics (SYNA : NASDAQ : US$19.70)
Net Change: 3.50, % Change: 21.60%, Volume: 1,358,900
Looking for a hands-on investment? Synaptics sparked the interest of many
investors Friday after saying its December quarter earnings nearly
doubled, beating analysts' expectations, with a 42 percent revenue boost
that was driven by sales of interface products used in notebook computers.
The maker of TouchPad systems that act as a mouse and control the cursor
of notebooks, PDAs and MP3 players recently introduced the SpeakerPad,
which doubles as both the TouchPad and speaker in a notebook computer.
Cooo-eeellll. So where is Synaptics going from here? The company says the
March quarter will be in parity with the December quarter sales, and
expects "the June quarter to be higher than in March."

We've seen the list before - IP can have questionable value, among consultancies it's a bit like boys peeing up the wall. Real news please.

[pagey1] 23/1/2004 08:07

Maxwell - very impressive - which will be winners...?

rambo - no comment....!

[rambutan2] 22/1/2004 19:30

well, that would explain the recent up in volume.
pagey1, so did your friend tell you to short this one from a quid plus?

[pagey1] 22/1/2004 16:10

maxwell - if what I've heard is true - it is marvellous news, however the source is too close to the company for me to expand on this bb - but has never let me down before....!!

[maxwellsdemon] 22/1/2004 13:59

pagey1,

The last set of final results were published on the 04/03/2003. Is this exceptional item good or bad?

[pagey1] 22/1/2004 12:49

Anyone know when results will be published? - I heard a whisper about an exceptional item to appear.....!!

[games] 21/1/2004 14:59

ram, no idea but the uk does appear to be preparing for a change in energy policy. Can't see em opening up the mines again, and the cost of gas imports will more than likely have quite an effect, not too mention the dependability on others. gen prob only a tiny piece though.


Anyhow another bit of news today on the gen site, no idea again :( but the gov again appear to have been dipping in.

The 'whispering gallery' technique - microwave material measurements for the next decade developed by Generics

[rambutan2] 20/1/2004 01:22

interesting stuff games. they certainly have some potential blockbusters on the books, but will they turn them into earners in time?

[games] 20/1/2004 00:19

Anger at tough new CO2 limits




So with the gov effectively investing in generics, and wanting a drastic cut in Co2 at the same time it looks like generics have thrown a double six.

[games] 19/1/2004 23:07

Ram,

I also see a Mr P John Thomas has been helping with the biometric stuff late last yr.

[games] 19/1/2004 22:53

ta m,

The UK who's who list.



btw just had a quick nosey at the criteria laid down by Carbon Trust Investments Limited, and they look resonably tough, so gen could be onto a winner here.
