Nice bump up on Ruffer stake building. Whoever they are.

Hello, what's going on here then? Sneaky drop to scare out weak holders to fulfil our hidden buyer or something more sinister?

Check the chart in the header. The same thing happened at this price towards the end of 2010.

Will be interesting to see what transpires.

Smudge, I had a few more last week, they just didn't want to mark it down so my sentiments are the same as yours, i think that there is a buyer sneaking a bit of stock as and when they can get it. Chart looks great forming a dandy uptrend now, will be interesting to see what happens when we get to the 44/45p level!

[smudgeroo] 11/1/2013 10:08

Can't argue with that Devonlad. I've been watching the price for the last couple of weeks and even though the bid was dropping the MM's were willing to pay almost the mid price for shares. It seems there was/is some hidden demand which bodes well for a continuation of the up trend.

Chart starting to look very nice for a test of highs around 44p now!

Following todays rns i read with interest the results statement which seems positive.did search for this exciting new product autogropher to see what it was Very underwhelmed..spend 400 quid for camera that takes 2000 pics a day that u wear round uor neckTo me it sounds ludicrous ...why do people need more pics..sounds like a real pain to then review them after taken to decide which is best / to keep...Im not deramping just dont understand why large numbers of public have expressed interest in buying one!!

[broadwood] 11/1/2013 08:04

Market likes, needless to say.

[broadwood] 11/1/2013 07:06

Today's 'highways' story should keep the price headed northwards.

[philo124] 09/1/2013 12:26

CR, Edison just put out a note; i don't hold but thought it would be helpful.

[cockneyrebel] 27/12/2012 16:00

Might be a very nice buy here:

[condom2] 11/12/2012 09:51

up up and away ....

[jackiewilson] 07/12/2012 14:39

Basic test: who do you know - even if they had a spare £399 - that would buy an Autographer?
Is it the talk of the town in that London? Not seen it in the trendy North.

[I'm biased as I sold when I heard that they were going to plow on trying to find a market for The Autographer, Microsoft having dropped it, in the hope of reaching Apple style nirvana - high priced consumer products that people love. I suppose you've gotta try these things??]

OMG need to take a humble look at Judges plc and what David Cicurel has achieved there by maintaining a sharp business focus. OMG seem to have fallen in love with R&D and like the idea they consequently pay little tax. Perhaps vested academic agenda? But if you dont grasp the moment, the future has a nasty habit of grasping YOU because its unpredictable. You lose control, and someone comes along and scoops up all your past efforts for peanuts. TIME TO GROW UP OMG!

[valustar1] 06/12/2012 19:26

I think you are getting carried away

3m people in the UK are not going to buy it at £399 a go

Plus if they had already sold 10k units and generated £4m in sales they would be obliged to report as being material to the share price

But lets hope its a success

[cfro] 06/12/2012 18:26

What beats me about these co is that they said that they will report revenues and adjusted earnings 'ahead of market expectations'.

They havent beaten market expectations at all, they are only inline. And infact if you use the basic eps figures, then they are some way below imo.

Im not impressed.

[wilmdav] 06/12/2012 12:27

Looking back and odd as it seems, they never do provide an adjusted eps figure, only operating and pre-tax profit. I calculate my own adjusted eps which is their adjusted PTP * 0.74 / number of shares. The 0.74 is to normalise tax at 26% throughout.
. 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
PTP 2.22 2.09 1.11 3.23 1.13 2.96
eps 2.57 2.24 1.20 3.35 1.16 2.96

Sharescope showed consensus forecasts for PTP and eps at £2.2m and 2.4p respectively.

[boraki] 06/12/2012 11:59

Sounds good to me

[bbonsall] 06/12/2012 10:20

Boraki
Please yourself. I don't think this will be as low as this when they soon announce initial sales of autographer. Just read the section on OMG Life in the chairman's statement. Interest far exceeded expectations. Over 3 million potential UK customers! Retailers want it. Work it out at £399 a throw. 10,000 sales since Sept would be £4 million revenues. Just guessing but IMHO the potential looks as though it coul transform annual accounts of OMG. We will soon know.

[condom2] 06/12/2012 09:51

No worries here, excellent set of numbers

[boraki] 06/12/2012 08:42

Market does not like it ... down 6.6%

More to come I suspect

[cockerhoop] 06/12/2012 08:38

Sorry was beaten to it regards adjusted EPS so deleted

[interceptor2] 06/12/2012 08:35

It's hard to work out exactly where to look to see adjusted figures etc, but look at note 5 and it can be worked out from there.

For info Adjusted PBT = £ 2.963m which means adjusted EPS of 2.57p. I used the 38% tax rate.

Looking at note 5 I would say the adjusted figure is fair.

I did sell at the open, just a matter of selling on news, and will look to buy back later perhaps.

ic2...

[wjccghcc] 06/12/2012 08:30

I think the forecast was probably adjusted. Adjusted PBT came in at 3.0mm vs forecast of 2.2mm. Can't find an adjusted EPS figure in the results though.
