Osirium Technologies Share Discussion Threads

-"It's hard to buy decent quantities on the market"-OSI's share price is in free fall. This is not because buyers are snapping up shares. It is because holders are offloading at a time when there is a lack of buyers. Hence yet another deep red day today.

nobody really wants cyber security services in the digital age, this market belongs to mid-90s

as data grows more, less and less people will need cyber security software

osirium is worse than dead given declining markets

I thought it would be relevant to OSI......

Boris Johnson has "categorically" denied he was warned a drinks party in the No 10 garden risked breaking lockdown rules.

"Nobody warned me that it was against the rules," the prime minister said, adding: "I would have remembered that."

Former aide Dominic Cummings says he warned Mr Johnson at the time, and has accused him of misleading MPs about it.

Asked if he would resign if he was found to have misled MPs, Mr Johnson said: "Let's see what the report says."

Senior civil servant Sue Gray is due to publish a report into alleged Covid rule breaking at a lockdown get-togethers in Downing Street and government departments.

"CyberArk snaps up identity startup Idaptive for $70M

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker / 2:29 PM GMT+1•May 13, 2020

Israeli cybersecurity company CyberArk has acquired identity startup Idaptive for $70 million in an all-cash deal.

CyberArk is one of the shining stars in the Israeli cybersecurity scene before its initial public offering in 2013 saw it go public on the Nasdaq. To date, its share price has almost quadrupled.

At the core of CyberArk’s identity and privileged access management technology is making sure the right people — like corporate employees — can access the right systems and services. Data suggests exposed or breached credentials can account for most data breaches. Having technologies in place that put barriers in place to prevent credential misuse can prevent further damage.

No wonder Idaptive makes for a good fit.

Idaptive, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based startup that spun out from Centrify in 2018, made a name for itself by taking a zero-trust approach to identity security. Zero-trust treats every user the same, whether they’re inside the firewall or not.

In a blog post, CyberArk said the acquisition will bolster its position in the identity management space, allowing its customers to improve their security posture across a multitude of different infrastructures, like hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

“Merging the innovative technology and talents of the Idaptive team with that of CyberArk represents an exciting opportunity to deliver a differentiated, modern approach as we work to continually meet the ever-changing needs of the dynamic threat landscape,” said CyberArk’s chief marketing officer Marianne Budnik."

"A bidding war could see a tussle between Google and Microsoft as they vie to get possession of the valuable IP of OSI."


Stop it Kemche - you're killing me.

[kemche] 18/1/2022 10:43

A bidding war could see a tussle between Google and Microsoft as they vie to get possession of the valuable IP of OSI.

There is an outside chance that they could let it fail and pick up the pieces for nothing. But that is an outside chance only.

"Kemche is so unfunny" - why are you always so hurtful?

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 10:37

You know, there are few things more embarrassing in life than someone who thinks they're funny, but isn't.

What is Kemche's 'comedic' range?

Well, he has sarcasm ... and, err, sarcasm, ... and, err ... well actually, that's it!

Though having said that, Kemche is so unfunny, it's almost funny!

[kemche] 18/1/2022 10:28

This could easily be a 10,000 bagger if they won a few multi 100 million international contracts. It could then quite conceivably be worth in the many billions. If a fundraising does come it could therefore be at a premium of many thousands of %. So certainly all to play for.

And realistic too.

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 10:20

If the company stays independent though, longer term it has genuine 100-bagger potential.

Sales growth momentum has been temporarily hit by the pandemic, but is expected to resume strongly this year, and OSI has the right products at the right time.

Some large contract wins could potentially see annual sales rapidly grow to the £10M. p.a. level within a few years, which could equate to millions of pounds of profit, and a £100M.+ market cap.

Very small cap. tech. companies of this quality are very rare, with investors sometimes fighting for a piece of the action.

It's so hard to buy decent quantities on the market, so the opportunity to participate in a placing can be manna from heaven.

Of course no placing will be required if the company is taken over first, but otherwise its pricing will be strongly influenced by the company's intrinsic value, which suggests a good premium to the current share price of 12p.

Though premium placings per se are quite rare, for hugely undervalued companies they are actually par for the course.

On 22nd. October last year I had two of my shares announce such placings in one day, with those two finishing as the top two risers that day. -

"From yesterday's closing list -

"LSE % Gainers Top Lists
EPIC Name %
IRON Ironveld +52%
STAR Starcom +32%"

Thanks H.D. - well done to you too on IRON.

IRON & STAR both illustrate the declining art of patient value investing.

Do you research, identify an undervalued share, and if your original reasons for investing are still valid, stick with it.

With both IRON and STAR I was sitting on significant paper losses of thousands at one point, but they've both now turned into even larger paper gains.

But it tends to take news, which both IRON & STAR RNSed yesterday.

OSI is due some ... maybe it is saving it up!"

[kemche] 18/1/2022 10:14

Truly desperate stuff.
Everyone knows what is coming - and it ain't at a bloody premium.

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 10:04

Massively oversold on small retail sales, and due a good bounce imminently.

The current share price is bonkers considering that the IP here is so valuable.

OSI holds seven patents that could be a key to tackling the ransomware plague.

It's software research and development has cost about £13M. over about the last decade.

But its real worth could be multiples of that.

"Ransomware Costs Expected to Reach $265 Billion by 2031
August 6, 2021 @ 12:05 PM | By David Bisson | 2 min read"



The company has signalled that it may be up for sale, and it's hard to believe that it would go for under £10M.

But it could be much more than that, especially if there is a bidding war.

[kemche] 17/1/2022 19:02

For those that are into that kind of thing.

I think it's time to rehash the start of Megasonic's post 432 above yet again:

'I believe Megasonic has managed to fool enough people about MHC in the past months that he has been able to cash out. Unfortunately that pump-and-dump con artist would have pulled in several less informed investors to help prop up the price while he was busy offloading - he literally took their money. No doubt he is busy ramping another stock and scamming more investors.'

[hedgehog 100] 17/1/2022 17:51

From the thread "MyHealthChecked PLC to 100p":

megasonic 7 Sep '21 - 16:02 - 5235 of 6686 0 1 0
"I believe this is the catalyst we are all waiting for. This TU will dictate medium term share price direction and momentum. For there to be a significant share price rise, Mr Market wants to see strong Covid revenues AND tangible progress on new product launches. I expect share price to gain leading up to the TU (maybe about 4.2p range). All IMO. Here’s hoping for a positive update."


The MHC share price then was 3.7p.



Current MHC s.p.: 2.05p: a 44% fall from Megasonic's ramp at 3.7p.

But it looks like it was yet another pump-&-dump from Megasonic, as he no longer posts on the company.

And there seems to be a pattern forming here, doesn't there.


In fact, readers might wonder whether Megasonic actually does anything else but pump-&-dump?

Though in fairness, yes he does.

He also trolls ...

[kemche] 17/1/2022 16:48

"No doubt he is busy ramping another stock and scamming more investors.''

From HH no less!

[megasonic] 17/1/2022 16:46

Wait, I called it wrong. hoggie will not be 60% down, I forgot to factor in today. He will be more like 70% down now.

[kemche] 17/1/2022 16:45

"Do you agree that this could be a prelude to a takeover?"

Not on your nelly nor anyone else's who's sane.

[hedgehog 100] 17/1/2022 16:32

I don't know why Megasonic thinks I'm down 60% here, but it's nothing like that.

And I think it's time to rehash the start of Megasonic's post 432 above again:

'I believe Megasonic has managed to fool enough people about MBO in the past months that he has been able to cash out. Unfortunately that pump-and-dump con artist would have pulled in several less informed investors to help prop up the price while he was busy offloading - he literally took their money. No doubt he is busy ramping another stock and scamming more investors.'
