Danski, sorry for the typo's, trying to work and trade so rushing around !

[wildonro] 19/4/2007 15:47

Danski PLM is still recomended to buy based on the white candle sticks, up 4 days on the trot, do you still recomend and will it in your opinion continue to rise.

As for EEL, just worth a peek, youre right nothing fundimental to get excited about.

[danski] 19/4/2007 15:45

i think it's looking like a good punt. wildonro, scroll back through this thread, it's v informative.

danski, parttrader, is this ISD going to continue north and why did the share price fall sub 14p from 20p in Feb

[partimetrader] 19/4/2007 15:00

Danski, I love it when you talk like that :-)

[don muang] 19/4/2007 14:55

PS: although haven't got around to looking too deeply in to the company, spent some time looking at the candlestick charts and stochastics for it this afternoon .... so now watching the rise as a holder of some stock....

[danski] 19/4/2007 14:52

that's what i was waiting for 15p midprice... looks like a strong break north now...

[don muang] 19/4/2007 14:51

So you're technically biased .... that explains everything .... i.e. common sence etc...!!
The 'problem' with low entry costs (hence an alternative company giving a lower
quote for same service) is that some FD's just don't understand the skill levels / experience required ... as you've mentioned 'Any old DJ-wannabee can select reasonable music' ..... and some FD's are happy to save a few bob and begrudge paying market rates for skills/experience (although they're very happy to take money out of the company in bonus's !!i!!! (Yes, I do dislike FD's !!!).
Haven't done research on ISD yet..... but hope the clients of ISD do appreciate the quality of the service ....

One of the new clients:

mikey_b .... you sound as if you have a fair understanding of the 'business' - both the sector and this company - have you been a holder of ISD for long?

[mikey_b] 19/4/2007 13:55

This is the area of expertise that ISD bring and this provides the barrier to entry. Any old DJ-wannabee can select reasonable music but the subliminal "buy-mood" music linked to the store attributes and client base over the day is the ISD USP, IMHO.

The downside may be selling the concept to the stores although decent large chains will appreciate this the more.

This is why I see value here.

that's what the program controller / director is for ..... !! (and how he 'earns' his daily bread)....

[mikey_b] 19/4/2007 13:42

Thanks, didn't find much in the guide though and I read/write tech specs for a living so I am used to the formats.

I was hoping to see how the user would understand a track: rock, heavy, suitable for fetish shop with 80% female clients after 3:27pm only if a coffee is to hand etc etc...

What environment is Bowie: Changes suitable for etc

[don muang] 19/4/2007 13:36

my personal opinion is that some of the best stuff around at the moment is Powergold - so see

for one type of metadata file see:

[mikey_b] 19/4/2007 13:20

>I take it you have experience of the work involved.
Spent longer than I care to admit in the 'entertainment' business. Gave-up when we had new CEO who expected me spend 80 hours a week at work .... (mainly because the new more cost efficient software / hardware package he insisted on was not able to fully function via remote access .... therefore I had to be physically in the locations...instead of sitting at home with a laptop and broadband connection).

>Someone somewhere has to catergorise the music too, in detail I would expect, to allow the software to make decent selections.
Can buy/lease off the shelf music libraries that come complete with all meta data and the copyright/royalty issues are also resolved in a single go.

>Pretty simple stuff in the final analysis so profits should be high.
Well, you said it .... 'pretty simple stuff' .... hence entry levels to get in to such a business are now lower than previously ... and getting easier / cheaper everyday ....

Lot of interest in this stock, volumes will be very high by the end of the day. About half a million shares traded yesterday and at this rate will be about the same today, without the aid of 400,000 shares bought yesterday by the Finance Director. I make it 240,000 traded tday to the time of writing: 12.50hrs.

[mikey_b] 19/4/2007 12:22

the chap that mentioned this a few minutes before the tick up:

[mikey_b] 19/4/2007 12:19

Which is why I am in, that and CR flagging this company up.

Danski, it looks better the closer you stand ;-)

Looking through the recent Google new archives I found this very interesting article which might interest some thinking of investing:

March 2007

"Chesterfield eBusiness successes Three north Derbyshire companies have won accolades in the eBusinessAwards for 2007 run by the East Midlands Development Agency.

Chesterfield-based Imagesound beat 25 other finalists to the top prize as eBusiness of the Year 2007, after demonstrating how they use technology to increase profits and improve customer fulfilment.

Two other local companies were successful - Cruise Ahead Ltd, a specialist travel agency won the Best eBusiness Start-up award and material development company NetComposites scooped the award for the Best Use of eBusiness.
Over 100 entries from across the East Midlands were received from a host of new companies who have realised the benefits of using ICT to run their business.

As well as their overall victory Imagesound, specialists in media and music, won the category for Increased Exports Through The Use of ICT.
Another Chesterfield company, Hike Bike and Ride Ltd, was highly commended in the same category.

Imagesound graduated from Tapton Park Innovation Centre to their own premises on Dunston Technology Park in 2002 while NetComposites are still based at the Centre".
