Mike - Thanks. Just coz I couldn't buy at 6.50p at the time and was a struggle at 7 pence too. And as it did in my CLON with the 100% rise, the MMs here too kept offering big premiums to sell and hard to buy, wide spread rather hence thought they could have been buys - maybe news in the offing then etc. Chart is looking good.

This was when it was just under 10p. It seems there isn't much of a free float.

'Then, the shares sat at 95p and boasted a market cap of around £160m. Clearly, that was an over valuation in the extreme for a company that certainly had an offering for the future, but was still in its relative infancy. And the subsequent years have seen the share price retract to an altogether more realistic valuation. That sees a current market cap of around £19m with some £5m on the balance sheet, which is tempting on that speculative basis.

Interestingly, there are some experienced investors with notable holdings here, including United Arab Emirates based Robert Quested who has extensive investment experience in the smaller company field and has increased his stake. Additionally, technology hedge fund ORA Capital holds some 25% of the company, while Oxford University and Barclays Capital also boast sizeable holdings'.

The 100k at 6.38p does look like a sell to me, as even small buys first thing were going through above this price. The 125k is IMO also a sell as reported.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 16:42

100K at 6.38p just reported also looks like a buy from this morning at when it was 6-6.50p, tried first buying at 6.50p but could get no quote online whatsoever and the MMs rejected the order through fill/kill at 6.50p.

IMO 150K at 6.50p yesterday
100K at 6.25p today
100K at 6.38p today
125K at 7.00p today
and then 62K at 8p today who had to pay 8p when offer was 7p

All buys.

Hence also paying premium for stock and keeping spread so wide.

cyberbub - I thought they would want to give out some leaks on commercialisation before actual such announcements later this year hopefully. I believe they were mystified themselves on the drop from 12p and they have a huge vetted interest here.

We need further updates on the below, this was from February last year:

'Specialist materials developer and manufacturer Oxford Advanced Surfaces (OXA) confirmed it has delivered VISARC coated samples to a number of customers showing optimal performance of 0.3% reflection. The technology is used as an anti-reflective coating for LCD display screens, and exceeds the industry target of 0.5% reflectance. Oxford Advanced emphasised that the anti-reflective coating market is forecast to be worth 2 billion dollars by 2015 following the explosive growth of tablet PCs, large screen TVs and large screen mobile phones. The shares rocketed 5.25p to 13.25p'.

The 125K at 7p looks like a buy filled during the day hence I couldn't buy more at 7 pence and there was the squeeze this morning at 7p to buy. If not, then still great cause they've paid premiums to a fair few sells now and the price has held gains. There was a 150K buy at 6.50p yesterday. Still 3 v 1.

[cyberbub] 14/8/2013 16:15

I would think the management would be working hard to get some good news out before, or with, the interim results?

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 15:47

6.75 - 8.00 pence, 3 v 1 - spread still stinks a bit.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 15:27

Don't know if news is on the horizon but a few sells taken now and L2 is still v.strong at 4 v 1 - imo sign of further gains tomorrow.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 14:34

Screen spread is too big at the mo, still 7 - 8 pence as real price and 4 v 1 on L2. Hoping we get good rises rest of the week and back to 12p. Interims in Sept.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 13:28

6.75 - 8.25p, L2 is 4 v 1. A lot of MMs bidding for stock???

Real prices of 7-8p.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 12:54

Offering big premium on sells at 7p against can't buy much at 8 pence, 3 v 1 on L2. IMO I wouldn't rule out 10-12p by end of the week. Wedge of resistance only between 12-13p.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 12:27

6.75 - 8.00 pence, 3 v 1 now - imo 8.50 p on the buying price is round the corner.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 12:07

Some sells - you wouldn't want to at this price when someone's just paid 8p at premium earlier too. Chart is forming a nice uptrend too and harder to buy back again. I'm hoping for 12p and back to where it should be without news.

6.75 - 8.00 pence, 2 v 2.

[philo124] 14/8/2013 11:55

MM don't know that's for sure.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 11:54

7.00 - 8.00 pence, 1 v 1. Well hoping for nice rises this week.

[moreforus] 14/8/2013 11:52

i think somebody knows nothing - highly illiquid - seller long gone - prime for a surge

[philo124] 14/8/2013 11:50

Somebody knows something I would guess.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 11:50

No, it'll go higher I meant.

[moreforus] 14/8/2013 11:49

26% is "blowing"

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 11:49

7.25 - 8.50 pence, 1 v 3. Looks like these are going to blow soon?

[moreforus] 14/8/2013 11:47

yes you are making it go up by buying....

as cyberbub told you it's highly illiquid....

there was also a seller around for ages ...who seems to have disappeared...

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 11:45

7.00 - 7.50 pence, 1 v 1 - can't buy online???

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 11:44

WOW, okay something going on. 62k buy at premium of 8p.

[treacle32] 14/8/2013 11:41

6.75 - 7.50p 2 v 1.

Couldn't get them online, seems to be rising on next to nothing buys. Chart is looking good an uptrend formation to 12p.
