I dont think there is a problem with NIS. Its the way the market views them. They are simply not trusted enough. Every time the market in general is as volatile as it is right now, NIS share price goes down.

I think it may well fall further. There is plenty of scope for more chaos on the markets.

So I am gambling that NIS will fall further. I hope I am right then I can buy more. But I am not going to sell on that hope, in case I am wrong in the face of the coming results.

'No doubt'...???

What makes you so sure - the stock's been sliding for months...

[grlz] 03/12/2007 15:24

jaz - yep your correct they added 700,000 - looking at another company's release when I posted

Is good news given their increasing after FTSE250 exit - mm's just running the share price down - no doubt to run back up post results

50p a share could be on the cards, although the share price seems to have found some support at 60p.

It would certainly be nice for NIS to have a run of more than 2 positive days without being followed by many months of negative ones or indeed ones where the price doesn't change at all.

-22% performance over the past 12 months makes this stock look very flimsy indeed.

You sure grlz?

They (Hermes/BT pension) had just over 4% at 9th October whereas now they have just over 6%....the notification was triggered by them going over 6%.

Hampshire Constabulary opt for Northgate's innovative speed awareness service

Northgate Information Solutions, a leading provider of services to the public sector and utilities markets, today announces that it is has been selected by Hampshire Constabulary to provide a pioneering managed service – the first of its kind in the UK - for the force's Safety Awareness scheme.

Northgate, working in partnership with specialist provider, DriveTech (UK) plc, will provide Hampshire with an end-to-end managed Driver Training Course Administration service designed to support the reduction of serious injury and deaths on Hampshire roads.

Drivers caught committing an offence covered by the scheme will be automatically offered a Safety Awareness Scheme course or receive a fixed penalty notice. Those who elect to go on the Safety Awareness course will benefit from a one day course led by the force. The course is designed to heighten driver awareness of the dangers of speeding to themselves and their families, as well as the consequences of speeding on the wider community. Northgate will manage the allocation and payment of course places and ensure that full and accurate records can be accessed by the force.

Hampshire Constabulary will benefit from:
- additional resources and enhanced services for educating motorists, designed to support its Safer Road strategy;
- more time to focus on targeting police activity and providing an intelligence-led patrol focus to tackle road safety issues, in line with the National Intelligence Model;
- improved efficiency and less paperwork as a result of streamlining central ticketing office processes;
- secure management of records, including all correspondence, course offers and attendance, to ensure that drivers have their penalty notice reinstated if they do not complete the course;
- a cost-effective solution based on variable fees according to the number of courses delivered.

Superintendent Mark Bradford who heads up Hampshire Constabulary's Roads Policing Unit said today: "We are committed to the reduction of serious injuries and deaths on Hampshire's roads and are proud that we have taken the steps to become the first force to use this innovative managed service. We believe that heightened motorist awareness will lead to a reduction of offences in Hampshire saving us further time in reduced enforcement.

"At 35mph you are twice as likely to kill someone as you are at 30mph and we need to ensure that regular speeders are made aware of this fact. The Northgate managed service will support us in providing motorists with the education that they need to take more responsibility for their safety on our roads."

Ian Blackhurst, Managing Director of Criminal Justice & Public Safety at Northgate Information Solutions, added: "Pilot studies around the UK have shown that the courses, which tackle drivers' attitudes to speed, have been successful in reducing re-offending. We are delighted to be working with Hampshire Constabulary to support the effective and efficient management of their Speed Awareness scheme and to promote the importance of road safety in delivering community well being for all the people in Hampshire."

Hermes UK Focus Fund
The UK Focus Fund is managed by HFAM and was launched in October 1998. It is Sterling denominated. Companies in the fund are selected from the FTSE350. Typically there are between 12 and 20 stocks held in the portfolio.

HFAM's investment analysis will have identified a value upside of at least 20 per cent before a company is included in the portfolio. three-year period.


Both Legal and General, and now HFAM have added to their holdings in the last week.

So dont get nervous, get more shares in NIS.

Its a frustrating stock, but if you keep buying when it goes low, then eventually it will be a big winner.

Just my opinion, and I hold quite a few thousand myself.

This share is vastly undervalued.

[tsmith2] 22/11/2007 08:50

TW stance: I thus see no reason to amend current year earnings forecasts of c7.5p and so at 77.25p this remains an undervalued growth stock. At up to 90p the stance is "buy." My target remains 120p plus.

I bought this stock at 46p and I have thousands.

The fundamentals have not changed.

Hotfinance14.

You are unbealivable.. I mean Unbelavilable.

You are saying anything below £0.70 is a bargin. You chastised me when I sold at £ 0.84 and said that I was puting my money in RIO at £36.00 as I was fed up with not undertstanding why NIS was not responding to investiot sentiment.
Well... NIS does respond to investor sentiment.

It is % 30 of the price. That is in real tearms less. That is not sentiment, that is less money than before.

To the 50 % I made on RIO would mean that NIS would have to be £ 1.26.

I think I made the right desision.

All the Posters on this tread whant honist even comment on the stock. What we don't get from you hotfinance14 is that you pump the stock, whatever happens. Day in Day out, you always say brillient, or, the 'market' is undervaluing the company.

It is now £0.60 somthing.

Don't you get it.. You have lost your money... If you ever had any investted in it.

Beercap.

[hotfinance14] 21/11/2007 19:37

Anthing below 70p is a bargain.
