No bad news as I can gather. Canada still at c.820p. Mms shaking, trying to loosen up a few like last time?

[mitzis] 28/7/2005 11:31

Bit of a drop last few mins...

[satan 666] 27/7/2005 15:30

remember the trend is your friend and the trend is UP...only a fool would short this or sell,you must be adding more...CCTV are a part of life and they will only increase not decrease...with more bombs and idiots out there,cctv will be the eyes of the police...A close friend owns a cctv company and he said,he can't cope with the demend.Just like id cards CCTV is the future...

To expect orders coming in in that timescale would be totally unrealistic, especially if the article is with reference to public transport sysytems.

[sivadnoj] 27/7/2005 08:55

March Networks gets a mention in an article in the morning's FT about developments in the security industry. A couple of comments from Peter Strom. Confirmation that, while the London bombings have increased awareness there has been no sudden increase in orders.

[lordcoco] 27/7/2005 08:30

Ho hum. Up again. Canada closed on equiv of around 820p.

Umalukka, the spread is only about 1%?

[umalukka] 25/7/2005 20:56

can anyone tell me why spread is so much between buying @ selling? Am thnking of buying this for pension .

[cat] 25/7/2005 20:29

[frances2] 25/7/2005 19:55

shorty, the train left the station several weeks ago :)

[cat] 25/7/2005 19:40

looking interesting now - chart looks good and company is in right place at right time. Wachovia deal alone gives them fantastic credibility.

Presumably no reason why this couldn't be adapted for underground trains?

WILMERDING, PA, and OTTAWA, ON, July 21, /CNW Telbec/ - Wabtec Railway
Electronics, a unit of Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB), and March Networks
(TM) Corporation, a leading manufacturer of IP-based video surveillance
systems for the transportation market, have teamed to produce
VideoTrax(TM), a rugged Digital Video Recorder (DVR) created specifically
for the railway industry.


VideoTrax is based on March Networks' mobile DVR system which is used in
operational and trial public safety applications in North America and
internationally. Hardened for the locomotive environment and featuring the
ability to integrate with data from Wabtec's locomotive event recorders,
VideoTrax offers flexible configuration, including multiple camera and
audio options and easy-to-use data analysis and playback tools tailored for
the rail industry.


"We feel VideoTrax will give our customers the video and audio data they
need to more thoroughly investigate grade-crossing accidents, particularly
when combined with the data from our on-board event recorders," said Robert
Haag, vice president of programs for Wabtec Railway Electronics. "The
combination of video, audio and event data is very compelling. Our
relationship with March Networks allows us to provide a feature-rich DVR
solution with a proven track record that further leverages the value of
Wabtec's existing onboard solutions"


"This new locomotive DVR and partnership with Wabtec represents a great
opportunity for March Networks to address new market opportunities while
leveraging our intellectual property investments," said Peter Strom,
president and CEO for March Networks. "North American freight rail
operators will now be able to benefit from valuable video information from
on-board their locomotives. We see this as the perfect complement to our
other rugged mobile DVRs that address security and safety issues in the
public transportation market."


The locomotive DVR incorporates a patent-pending environmental control
system. To ensure applicability in international markets, the locomotive
DVR was developed to locomotive systems integration standards.
Additionally, the compact size and rugged features of the system allow it
to be applied in other rail and transportation environments for enhanced
commuter safety and security.

Do you get your 'Canadian' info from ADVFN?

[lordcoco] 21/7/2005 07:39

Morning all.

Well we should see a gap up this morning, Canada finished "only" just over 4% down on good volume and some very heavy buys going through after the initial drop (one at over $300 000). They're obviously not ready to capitulate yet.

There does appear to be support for the price on both sides as witnessed by the bounce back yestyerday, the final drop here appearing to be an (over) reaction to Canada from the mms.

Will be intersting to see what happens today, a real test of sentiment, which I believe should hold strong.

IndigoVision (see ADVFN IND thread) provided system for Rome Olympics, for about a dozen airports including Luton, the St Lawrence canal in Canada, and has been reporting growing sales. Its capitalisation is only a fraction of March Networks.

[sranmal] 20/7/2005 18:11

As stated earlier, C$17 at the moment and looking strong, which equals approx £8.05, so expect a gap up tomorrow if this holds.

[peladon] 20/7/2005 17:36

No great surprise to see the fall or the size of it - momentum works both ways.

Don't see support at 620, but then there's not much support established when a share rises this quickly. I still think it's best to take a part profit every so often.

Incidentally this is the link to the original prospectus:

[lordcoco] 20/7/2005 17:31

I agree lasata, managed to trade out and in fairly successfully earlier, but on the second drop went for a buy at the bottom, will see tomorrow if this was a bit rash. :-o

M.T. They have talked about consolidation, I don't know if that equates to them actively or soley looking to being taken over. Seems like they are building a very successful business, who knows it may be MNW who go out with cheque book in hand?

lcc.

[lasata] 20/7/2005 17:12

That is a very honest answer from MNW.

LCC: L/term this remains a gem and the t/over potential adds lustre. Just have to trade/ride the shakes!
