Nice in-fill acquisition, but I liked this in particular showing how KWS can grow a new sector presence from nothing so quickly:

"Having grown the Engineering service line from nothing in May 2017, we now employ over 300 software engineers in multiple regions, and I'm delighted that Jean-Sylvain, Tim, Evan and their highly talented and creative team are joining the Group as we continue to grow."

Had a feeling we'd get an RNS today

[scooper72] 18/7/2018 17:58

Much better volume today too, compared to recent days.

[rivaldo] 18/7/2018 16:15

Looking like a strong close...

[scooper72] 17/7/2018 15:51

Slowly getting back to 1750p. Currently 8-1 on Level 2 which is good. But there is a sell order on Level 2 for just over 10,000 shares at 1750p. Does that mean it is likely to get stuck there again for a while and drift back a bit towards 1734-1700?

In today's Times in the business section - Fortnite craze has game's investors doing victory jig

[scooper72] 16/7/2018 22:13

I think it am a bit over weight in one company but again with all the storms around Brexit and trade wars etc it just seems like a sector and a company that is unlikely to be overly effected by any negatives in the economy. Interesting article in The Times today about The company behind Fortnite. Apparently the Chinese company Tencent is one of the biggest benefactors of the game that has taken the world by storm - because it does all the software that allows gamers to chat while they play.

scooper, sounds like you are fully invested here! I still have another 800 or so to buy for the trading pot, if price action cooperates.

[scooper72] 16/7/2018 18:12

Tempted myself - but can't really justify it when 60 percent of my sip is in KWS and 25 percent of my ISA too

[bamboo2] 16/7/2018 15:47

Added a few more. Seemed quite limited stock availability this afternoon.

[bamboo2] 13/7/2018 20:45

Thanks scooper72, I have started buying KWS again, on a potential turn 12-13/7/2018.

[scooper72] 12/7/2018 19:38

Not sure when the next update is but it was at the end of July in 2017. The share price also raced up through much of July leading up the results and then on the results day added a bit more.

1700-1750 looks a good support zone.
I have a potential turn 12-13/7/2018.
Currently unsure of direction.

When is next update?

[scooper72] 10/7/2018 13:16

Looks like it - although probably the real test is when we get a trading updated?

[villarich] 10/7/2018 13:06

Is 17.50 the new support level?

[christh] 10/7/2018 08:06

perhaps will hit £19 this week, market realise the real value of the company

[jthomas10] 06/7/2018 11:03

Excellent interview with Proactive yesterday by Andrew Day. I think the market hasn't fully understood the Keywords Ventures strategy. It will, soon enough!

[jthomas10] 06/7/2018 09:32

Just realised my posts are filled with errors - apologies as I’m using my phone.

Scooper, absolutely! This share has been a traders dream! But eventually the trading range will be broken, I’m willing to stick my neck out and say that this will bounce hard today and test week high’s. That’s presuming any worked sell order is closed. There is immense buying pressure and the mm’s seem to be struggling to keep it in the current 1760-1770 range.

[scooper72] 06/7/2018 09:25

Thanks for the detail J. Is it the case though that once the range we are in gets a bit too established those who are good with understanding the technicals of strength and weakness in price (which I am not so knowledgable on, hence my previous message) end up perpetuating the range as they make short term trades, until a material update from the company comes along?

[jthomas10] 06/7/2018 09:24

And as for your comment of this not. Ring a cheap share, we’ll thats not how I look at it. From experience some stocks have remained perennially cheap and thus unappreciated while some stocks are probably well valued but continue to exceed expectations. For me it’s important to invest in a company that is a leader in the market, has a good valuation but with potential to keep making higher highs and higher lows.
KWS fits the bill and IMO will continue to go higher, investors just need to stomach the volatility.

[jthomas10] 06/7/2018 09:12

Lol Scooper I need no reason to tamp this stock. If you look at any of the free web technical sites the others have mentioned on here, you can see for yourself. It’s a strong buy at the mo on the MA, RSI and MACD indicators. That is why you see the huge buying pressure this morning. 90% if today’s volume has been buys. The reason it had not moved up is likely to be a worked order to sell. I can’t think of another reason the mm’s are holding this without letting go.

[scooper72] 06/7/2018 09:04

When you say the technicals are strong I think you have to detail what you mean as otherwise it comes across as share ramping which KWS really doesn't need. I am trying to remind myself that this is not a cheap share but that if it does get sold off down to 1500 or something there is a strong and experienced enough management team with a good enough strategy to take this forward over the next 10 plus years. Just being watching Andrew Day on YouTube again from the April report meeting- v solid and measured, despite how exciting the opportunities ahead are.
