ATUK looks to much jam tomorrow for me - losing 8p a share. Supposed to make a profit in H2 - I'll wait and see and if they are I might be tempted. Can't see it moving much until investors get more detail imo. Also has a silly name. I try to avoid silly names cos they are usually run by silly people - remember medi@invest? Seen so many silly names fail to perform. QQ (Qinetiq) how's that for a silly name - try pronouncing it then looking for that in the Phone book!

I'll pass on ATUK for a while thanks

ISD sorry !

:-)

CR

[cambium] 28/4/2006 14:54

Dont you mean ISD not IDS

[cockneyrebel] 28/4/2006 14:36

Me too. I've noticed the chart too - wake up call imminent imo

CR

[rivaldo] 28/4/2006 14:34

Nice one with YSP CR, I looked at that and for whatever reason it didn't grab me - c'est la vie!

There's a distinct similarity in the MSI chart between early 2005 and early 2006 - and look what happened after the results came out in June...not long to go now.

With recent share buybacks, plus director buying previously, I'm quietly confident :o))

[cockneyrebel] 28/4/2006 10:32

yep, out of MTT, had my fun there thanks :-)

About to have my fun here now. I love these quiet threads - look at IDS and YSP - hardly a buggar interested - I'm the one there on my own nearly - and making the money! lololol! They'll all be in them in a couple of months, all excited, singing like canaries about how great these companies are doing!

Same here - watch the crowds of 'experts' buying MSI after it has broken out and £2+ all saying how cheap they are!

CR

[xdavid] 26/4/2006 07:25

Excuse the OT...

CR, I suspect you are out of MTT at the mo, but results in today - 25.2p beating estimates by 20%. Check out your old thread for more.

Unfortunately the existence of these rival trading systems means that we don't always get the full picture just looking at the LSE trades on ADVFN.

[mr mole] 19/4/2006 18:54

Thanks I guess I wasn't looking in the right place.

[diogenesj] 18/4/2006 20:39

Could it be one of those Virt-X trade thingummyjigs?

Come on MSI! If that was a buyback today the RNS should get the price into a serious breakout.

[mr mole] 18/4/2006 19:18

My buy of 1200 at 8.08 am not showing in lists of buys and sells. Any ideas why not ?

[njp] 18/4/2006 07:32

Well, if it is, we'll know soon enough.

[rivaldo] 18/4/2006 07:26

I agree CR, looks like a buyback. And would you believe it, on 18th April last year MSI bought back 233,500 shares at 82p - since when the price has almost doubled. Intriguing or what? Let's wait and see if we get an RNS anyway.

Sheik - only for 2.5k shares, if you want 3k shares you have to pay 163.9p. Not much stock around.

[sheik yerbouti] 18/4/2006 07:26

160-164p but you can buy at 161p. Wonder what the MM's are up to?

[rivaldo] 18/4/2006 07:13

Wow - a 100k B trade at 160p and the price immediately ticks up. Meaningful?

Perhaps the VT announcement is being recognised...

EDIT - snap CR!

[cockneyrebel] 18/4/2006 07:12

100k BROKER TRADE and the price marked up -

Director buy or buy back perhaps?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 13/4/2006 15:28

We're actually only 5p from a breakout here and I can only see buyers moving in rather than sellers before the results myself.

CR

[rivaldo] 13/4/2006 14:26

Hope so CR. Final results are only 2 months away, so I doubt if MSI will have agreed terms by then given that VT have still to dot the i's etc on the contract.

But it looks highly likely that MSI are in the front line (ho ho) for this one, and it'll just underpin future growth even more than the order book already does.

No wonder they're continuing to buy shares in.

[cockneyrebel] 13/4/2006 14:03

I expect an official announcement in the results, as they did at the last results.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 13/4/2006 14:01

Fab find Rivaldo - the market won't sleep forever!

Spot on - this must be worth a packet to MSI :-)
