Hmmm. I'm already breaking even in spite of the premium.

Just bought 2 x NMS at 197p, a premium of 5p at the time. All three market makers were quoting the same premium, and after my purchase they have been raising their prices without any trades. Very short of stock and/or they know something.

The more the merrier , if you have any information at all please email me on [e-mail] as its been difficult to find out much about these except that the management seem worth backing.

Dil,
I've heard a lot about these the last few days. If I'm right there will be a few people in these shortly if they keep rising. I'll probably have another look on Monday.

Dipped my toe in today for the third time since mid August. Like you, Dil, I have bought on the strength of the management. I don't think it will ever be a sky rocket, just a nice steady banker.

JonC, I would have liked to stick it in my PEP as a long termer but I fear we are caught out by that stupid AIM rule.

JonC : Did you buy ?

JonC ,

Can't find much out about these but put a few in the pension fund as the management look as though they could be worth backing given that they've done it twice before.

Dil,

No but soon will be.

This looks like another candidate for my pep.

Cheers Hawkeye. Already have a few but will be taking a closer look at these over the weekend. Seriously undervaled in my opinion.

Dil,

Hard work to find the thread without a search facility! Just to add to your intro on Potential, they got a decent write-up in the 4th Aug IC. The main points were:

a. The company founders were previously joint MDs of Singer & Friedlander Factors and have a track record of increasing profits with negligable bad debts.

b. They have 80 clients and with approx 10 new clients per month, they hope to secure 500 clients over the next three years.

c. Euro Sales Finance, the only quoted competitor, is on a forward p/e of 84 compared to 13 for Potential.

d. The market is fragmented with more than 50 factors in the UK, mostly linked to banks.

Looks like a good seed to nurture and allow to grow over the longer term. Might turn out to be a perennial rather than a .com annual!

Read this article from






Covered in Small Company Share Watch at the weekend with broker Charles Stanley forecasting 0.75million pretax for the year to 30/09/00 rising to 1.5million for the year ending 30/09/01.
Given that the market cap is only around 16.5million at present and 30% minimum growth should be achievable for a number of years to come starting from such a low base and add to that the experienced management who have been here before and it doesn't take a genius to see the pontential.
