Got my logic a bit twisted guys!! Will have to look for a re-entry point sooner than I planned. Not to worry, I used the cash on top ups for ALT & G4M which look equally strong. Good luck to you all...

The Company has recently commented that exchange rate movements are not a concern. I suspect it also gets paid by some companies in (strong) US$, with any profits from those payments being reported in Euros.

A presentation on the Company website also provides more detail on currency and geographical distribution.

Lost me on that one martinthebrave - 1% of revenues in sterling.

Currently pruning Portfolio on currency risks and decided to exit KWS for now. Reports in Euros which gives some risk to next updates. That said its a great company and it may well "ride it out". I will be back.

Thanks for the twitter links, very exciting stuff!

Certainly it is VR that offers some amazing opportunities going forward and i wouldn't be too surprised to see an acquisition or two made in this direction too.

[saucepan] 07/10/2016 09:07

Some very informative posts; thanks. What a Company to be invested in!

Cheers bbd, good link - going to have to follow their Twitter feed now!

Liking this article linked from that feed which I hadn't seen before:



Extracts:

"Keywords says it services 21 of the top 25 game companies by revenue. Clients include Microsoft, Namco Bandai, Sony, Konami, Electronic Arts, and Nintendo. In the fast growing mobile games market, Keywords works with the likes of Supercell, King, and Machine Zone."

"Put on the Headgear

One of the most interesting takeaways from the results is Keywords’ comments on virtual and augmented reality finally arriving in gaming. AR and VR are steadily moving farther to the right on Gartner’s emerging technology hype cycle and are called “critical technologies.”

Keywords says they have been “working across all the VR platforms providing art, audio, QA, and localization services for a range of the early concept VR game releases as well as for Augmented Reality.” Keywords is set to benefit from AR and VR being among the next big things to hit consumer electronics."

Whymps - the 7th service line is engineering (coding to you & me); CEO has stated that they are likely to enter this by way of acquisition.

They are getting very excited about virtual reality news.

Our team at #OC3 sees Mark Zuckerberg announce significant further investment in #VR + a new standalone version of the Rift. Exciting stuff!

I'm liking their office dress code!

Rivaldo- thanks for the link. You are the master at sieving the net for news items.I thought the MD's comment about introducing a 7th service line 'early next year or possibly sooner' was especially interesting. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be and how significant?TIAWhymps

'Was it worth it' BB2? To be honest, at 0.1% of the share price, I can hardly believe it's worth the company's paperwork.

[saucepan] 06/10/2016 09:37

Thanks, rivaldo.

I liked this quote:

The market is good and we're continuing our current strategy - our fast growth plans remain very much intact so we maintain a strong acquisition pipeline and are generating good organic growth.

It just about says it all. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

[whymps2] 06/10/2016 09:33

Keep'em coming bamboo. Thanks they're great

[bamboo2] 06/10/2016 09:12

Missed the divi. Was it worth it? Financially, about evens? Can't really be bothered to work it out.

I'm fascinatined by these triangle apexes, and it's great to build up experience trading them.
ps thanks for putting up with the charts

[cfro] 06/10/2016 08:51

Nice video Rivaldo, thanks.

Next up-leg starting here? Chart looking great once again.

[bigbigdave] 06/10/2016 08:16

New 3 minute interview with the CEO:

"New FD 'invaluable' to Keywords says chief executive
16:06 04 Oct 2016

Keywords Studios PLC (LON:KWS) has appointed David Broderick as the company's new finance director. He'll be based in Dublin and joins the firm immediately.

Chief executive Andrew Day told Proactive the 42 year old has been at Arconics, an aviation software company, since 2015 and prior to that held roles at Stobart Air and RyanAir.

''Rather than doing the commute his predecessor Andrew Lawson was doing, David is based in Dublin full time and I think it gives us the opportunity to show a little more impetus and continuity which is important when we're growing at the rate we're growing.''

Day added ''The market is good and we're continuing our current strategy - our fast growth plans remain very much intact so we maintain a strong acquisition pipeline and are generating good organic growth'."

Seller drying up here?

EDIT : Couple of big trades just gone through 515k and 489k, could be seller done with.

[bamboo2] 04/10/2016 08:11

An added complication in the chart with an unconfirmed H&S targetting 380. Confirms with an eod close below 410.

[rivaldo] 03/10/2016 18:02

Interesting to see an NED director buying £10,000 of stock on the dip at 415p:
