Has anyone seen a T&G note written to initiate coverage of PST?

[philjeans] 04/6/2007 09:57

Yep; new broker announced today - they'll be pushing the shares to their clients now for sure.

All in all, this looks a bagger to me.

[its the oxman] 04/6/2007 09:54

looking ready to break above 20p

[blueliner] 15/5/2007 20:44

Talking other software cos theres been comment on this BB about Microgen MCGN
who could be considering a higher offer for Trace Group than the one already on the table from Tulip.
Just thought I'd mention it out of hours.
Been looking at MCGN but share price has been treading water for ages,
PTBV = .93
Cash rich & serving financial sector.

take a look at NXS then...

interims soon.

should be crackers

[philjeans] 15/5/2007 15:17

Chart looking strong; I'm keen on software companies generally, particularly recovery jobs - holding FSG; PTS; PST and more recently ATL - Atlantic Global up 3p today.

Worth a look.

[philjeans] 15/5/2007 10:58

Nice buy of 125k just reported; hence the 1p rise.

Lots to go for here.

[techtrend] 11/5/2007 09:03

where did you last leave it?

[its the oxman] 10/5/2007 16:36

still looking for 30p

[philjeans] 10/5/2007 10:32

Someone else thinks so too - a few small buys regularly is gently pushing us north.

Still very undervalued for a growth story in the IT sector.

[philjeans] 10/5/2007 08:22

The RNS obviously will appeal to the techies; all it means to me is that they have a well thought of product.

It should boost sales further.

exciting market through the acquisition of Quadstone in 2005 and this foresight
has resulted in the development of a unique technology and a strategically
important first mover advantage in this market. This, combined with the
demonstrable and impressive results we have already achieved for our customers
means we are ideally positioned to capitalise on a growing pipeline of

respected industry commentator such as Gartner which we believe also will
enhance our position in the minds of our existing and future customers.'

I would hope so - still bumping along the bottom really in the five year context, despite strong director buying.

Got a long way to go yet!

[techtrend] 03/5/2007 17:39

Results were 22 June last year, I'm hoping there's some more interest here in the run-up to results starting from early next month.

[its the oxman] 23/4/2007 09:08

roll on 30p

[philjeans] 23/4/2007 09:07

Yes; we're well off the bottom now and the ascendency is accelerating and gathering momentum.

Software companies are back in vogue - making good money currently and the market is ripe for consolidation - a la Patsystems.

Massive, roaring, stonking chuffing BUY.

(I hold !)

[sheik yerbouti] 23/4/2007 08:28

Getting interesting now it's through that 18p resistance.

[danski] 22/4/2007 14:22

if that were the case it shld have bn mde clr in the rns

[philjeans] 22/4/2007 14:12

Options presumably.

[danski] 22/4/2007 14:11

i'm interested in this one - but that big buy by directors at such a heavy discount still deters me. partly because the directors can now dump large volumes on the market again and still clear a big profit even below current levels, and also because when directors get to do a deal like that, i want to know how it has come about...

[philjeans] 22/4/2007 10:53

Looks very likely - all in all, a very good time to be in these.

[danski] 21/4/2007 19:26

Is that a golden cross I see about to form? Couple more up days and it could well be. Another positive sign...

[sheik yerbouti] 20/4/2007 08:36

Yep, if it can push through 18p resistance we could be in for a spike.

[philjeans] 20/4/2007 08:33

Looking good for a minor breakout - bodes well.
