Well that's a bit odd. I post the Amag contract from their website on ADVFN and a couple of hours later Intercede take their website offline.

Sorry guys if it's price sensitive info and I spoilt your results surprise but you did post it on your website.

Or maybe it's just a Friday afternoon consipiracy theory ...

Always best to buy on a down day or sell on an up day. It's just hard to convince yourself to do it sometimes :-)

[smartmoney100] 26/5/2006 12:06

Seems to be getting harder every day to buy IGP. I just managed to get 2500 @ 27p. For my full order of 8000 I'd have to pay 28.5p . sod em!

Today, AMAG systems are securing hundreds of government facilities worldwide – over 100 in the United States alone. AMAG´s enterprise security solutions have been selected by a multitude of federal, state and local governments because they cost-effectively deliver the most reliable, flexible and technologically advanced electronic security solutions available. For example, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) chose AMAG to secure the Pentagon because we offered unrestricted scalability and robust transactional capabilities. The Department of Interior chose AMAG because we offered advanced smart card interoperability and pseudo-random, encrypted communications to eliminate the possibility of someone hacking into their system via a standard Wiegand reader. AMAG systems are operating in battleships, embassies, military bases, marshal´s offices, medical centers, prisons and with a wide range of federal agencies

thanks wj, i see that they are part of group 4 securicor...

[wjccghcc] 26/5/2006 10:52

Yup, particularly as AMAG already supply the DOI and Pentagon. Worth looking at their website to see some of their US govt clients.

Sounds good WJCCGHCC. Particulary these bits:

"The vigorous solution of AMAG and Intercede is unmatched in the security industry."

The AMAG/Intercede partnership makes AMAG a compelling option for the US Government's PIV initiatives.

Maybe this is what they were waiting for:

Yup. Results last year were on the 24th. Maybe they're waiting on contract news :-)

I also wouldn't be surprised if the share price was marked down a bit afterwards since they'll still be loss-making. Having said that, there's not much speculative money here and anyone not willing to hold for another year (US PIV, UK ID cards, Verisign, RSA and Safenet deals) really shouldn't be here in the first place.

Might try and catch a few on the dip.

[taurusthebear] 25/5/2006 11:03

Only 3 business days left "towards the end of May" now. Could results be tomorrow? I'm almost expecting the shares to be marked down afterwards, it'll be a pleasant surprise if they aren't!

The next results is where it starts to get interesting, IMO, if the market still refuses to accept a bullish outlook as opposed to actual revenue... :0)

[igoe104] 24/5/2006 15:22

MM playing his usual mind games, by marking up, before results.

[igoe104] 20/5/2006 15:45

i,ve also been looking at this years up and coming smart card conferences. china, australia, france, canada, gemplus will be attending all of those. so they could be alot of big contracts, in the near future coming our way.

[igoe104] 20/5/2006 15:20

two of our partners look like having a merger this summer, gemplus and axaito are going to form a new company called gemaito.( both are going to be heavy involved in the usa market)
i,ve got a feeling the next 18 months will be very rewarding for igp shareholders. the company has the right links, to be involved in the big contracts, when they are given out.

[smartmoney100] 19/5/2006 12:35

Thought I'd buy a few more. I just wanted a little more blue on my screen :-)

[rambutan2] 19/5/2006 09:23

no worries here!

and no price targets - it's too chaotic out there. but this will multibag over the next few years.

[igoe104] 19/5/2006 08:10

if you want the laSTEST information about smart cards. put in (smart card alliance) in your favourites. it appears that, gemplus, and axaito, have been approved by the amercian government, to deliver their smart cards. both are partners to intercede.
come on guys don,t worry. it will be looking good" around christmas time, you wait and see. £1 plus possible.

[wjccghcc] 18/5/2006 15:13

Fair point, but that's probably true for nearly half the stocks on AIM.

[taurusthebear] 18/5/2006 11:35

I'm not, I bought with the intention of waiting until revenues start flowing and the price hopefully responds - selling into strength, after all, seems the only way out of such stocks. But what I don't like is that I can't buy or sell - that is not a market! :0)

[wjccghcc] 18/5/2006 11:33

I think most shareholders are aware this is not a share which provides easy entry or exit. I've built up a large stake over the last year with an average price of around 22p but am not looking to sell any until we hit a quid (I reckon about 18 months from now) unless the fundamentals change significantly (which doesn't seem likely at the moment). I have a view on the global growth of digital and physical IDs and this is one of the most operationally leveraged and well-positioned investments to play that view IMHO. If I'm wrong, then I went into it with my eyes open.

This share usually pretty much ignores the market. It's driven purely by newsflow and whether people are buying or selling. The MMs won't even let me buy 10% of my current holding at today's price. MMs just don't hold IGP stock. If you're swayed by short-term movements in this then you're going to have a stressful time!

[taurusthebear] 18/5/2006 10:34

Okay, I've been doing a bit of profit-taking/portfolio-balancing on IND and LEAD, but with IGP and STL I don't have a choice to do anything. Even buying more than a few is a problem. But I'm stuck with them now, so I guess they're teaching me the lesson of bottom-draw investing. I'll go where they take me, as I have no choice - lol! :0)

[garth] 18/5/2006 09:58

Small companies, small stakes Taurus! That or wait 'till they get to be big companies ;0)

Surprised we haven't seen a snap back up this morning.

[taurusthebear] 18/5/2006 09:17

I'm only fussed in respect of the fact that the shares are so illiquid that I couldn't even get out if I wanted to. To that extent, and not because I am currently suffering a loss on IGP, I think I'll avoid stuff like this in the future... :0)

[wjccghcc] 18/5/2006 00:17

Usually the results are next week.

Not fussed either. In this market, the MMs drop the price at the sniff of anyone selling - a grand total of 22k shares traded today. IMHO The value here will begin to be apparent by the end of this year when the Fed rebadging and Verisign/RSA/Safenet deals kick in. I would hate to be out of these when they announce their first Federal rebadging contract or anything to do with UK ID cards.

Hi Taurus, I suspect like mine, this is the one decent size investment in your portfolio showing a meaningful loss. the others are just having the profits eaten away. However IGP is right at the bottom of my sell list!

Only 3 trades showing up today, and I feel a calmness with this one. I don't feel we're amongst short term traders here. That might not help us much in the next few days or weeks of course.

Have we a date for the results yet? Late next week? Or perhaps the following week?
