Evolution Securities have today announced a price target of £1.25 for IOM ..... which is nice.

I'd love to buy more here but even if they manage 4p eps for the full year their trading on a p/e over 20, that maybe a little rich in this market in terms of further share growth. I look forward to the results.

[gerri-c] 31/3/2011 10:29

... and still the share price travels sideways. Frustrating to say the least.

You make an interesting point but I do not believe that the company should be responding as directly as you suggest. It may be for the nomad to do something but I would hate to see a series of announcements being made simply because of a fluctuating share price. In the absence of specific company news or generic industry sector news I would not anticipate such announcements - indeed a "steady as she goes" announcement would possibly be misinterpreted.

[gnnmartin] 02/3/2011 14:30

FH, it isn't clear to me that such action counts as manipulation. As long as the RNS is factual and appropriate, it can (surely) be argued that it is in everyone's interest that as many people know the current state of the company, especially if more than usual shares are likely to change hands.

Look at it the other way. Suppose a holder tried to sell and the price started to fall. You would not object (I assume) to the company putting out an RNS saying there was no material reason for the fall, and updating the market on the company's progress? So isn't it even better to put out the RNS before the fall takes place?

How cynical! Having been there, I do not believe that this is the case; there are strict regulations on when RNS announcements should be made and both nomad and company would be subject to criticism and censure with such manipulation.
The price is fullish at present until there is a clear indication of substantial breakthrough, hopefully to be confirmed by the trading update at month end.

IOM issue an encouraging RNS, and the price falls 1.5p. I'm fascinated by how often this happens with shares (not particularly IOM). It's not just profit taking on expected news either: today's announcement just says "things are continuing good". I've often suspected that when a large holder wishes to cash in a few shares, they approach the company broker who advises the company to issue an RNS setting out how attractive the company is.

I'm just watching IOM, but they do look interesting.

PS. The price action over the last few months suggests a large holder trying to sell at around 90, or someone hoping to accumulate at around 90p, or probably both.

It would seem Selftrade have it wrong as CSFG doesn't have another listing overseas. A broker may be able to put them in an ISA but it won't be the broker that suffers if an HMRC inspection or notice occurs that instructs them reverse such positions - it will be you. It may be worth reading the HMRC pages or taking tax advice if unsure of the implications for your personal tax position.

[chrisb1103] 22/2/2011 21:43

Yes that's also what i thought till i bought them with Selftrade no problem, strange eh, but true - and have added no problem since too.

[strollingmolby] 22/2/2011 21:17

Chris - CSFG not ISA-able according to HL (who are normally correct in such matters)

[chrisb1103] 17/2/2011 09:14

Hi all, am a holder here but while this is slow if you haven't already take a look at CSFG, under the radar but fast growing data centre provider in Malaysia with big expansion plans. Napped in SCSW as one of their ten for 2011. Positive write up from GCI from 19/01/11 here which got me involved:



26% EPS growth factored in next year. Strong balance sheet and cash balance (around £24M), outlook for H2 confident, valuation low in comparison to peers Telecity and Iomart and also prospect of some further development news in the coming months (Singapore and many other SE Asian countries mentioned in November update). Forecast to start a divi this year too. Broker targets around 150 (so 100% upsdide). Chart consolidated since float i believe and now at a great buy point point in hopefully ascending trend. Standard Life, L&G and Slater Investments also hold.

Strong growth forecast in region too, no worries re the UK economy here:


I've been adding since the start of the year (in my ISA with Selftrade which is a bonus! and no stamp duty to pay as Jersey registered), hope this is of interest.

94.5p for 5000 shares!

[tommy ten chins] 14/1/2011 15:22

Are we chasing a pound now?

[mesquida] 14/1/2011 08:31

Presumably now NetIntelligence could be said to have some value, whereas a couple of years ago most people - myself included - seemed to have written it off. Perhaps the best way to crystallise this value is to sell it off - any thoughts whispa?

Panmure Gordon upgraded to buy from hold and lifted its target price to 297p from 274p Iomart, the clould computing and managed hosting services company, added 3.5p to 89.5p after being awarded UK's first child safety online Kitemark certification
