When will it be time to buy psion?

I applaud the launch of another fantastic device for the Fork Lift Truck driver. Lay down your mugs of tea, roll up your copies of the Sun and get your employers to order a job lot of the latest rugged device rolled out by Psion, the leader in Fork Lift Truck computer accessories. Will the latest device take the share price to £1.60 in the next 6 months? Not IMO.

Rel - Just translating the charts for you :-)

Thanks for the warning Sat69. Does that coincide with an astrological event or do you have sound information?

Expect a move back to 178p soon.

Two reasons for imminent upgrades:

Amchug, I agree it was a very bad move when they bailed out of Symbian and began concentrating on the ultimate accessory for the fork lift truck driver. That decision counts against the management team and the product range is unlikely to excite anybody. I would like to see a break out but realistically in light of what has gone before and taking into account the products, can anybody see this share going above and staying above £1.60 within the next 6 months? I suspect we are going to end up at around £1.30 for quite some time but it would be nice to be proved wrong.

[sat69] 17/10/2007 17:35

Looks like we may have finally broken out of the trading range.

Delighted to see the below. There was a lot of discussion on this board a couple of years ago when the national identity card was under discussion whether it might be a feryile field for Psion. That idea, I think, is not currently on the boil, but a lot of potential smaller applications outside big government.

A very useful longer term prospect & a good link up in Europe.


'Sagem Sécurité and Psion Teklogix Become Partners In the Field of Biometrics

17 October 2007

Mississauga, ON, Canada Psion Teklogix (LSE: PON), a global provider of solutions for mobile computing, wireless data collection, imaging and RFID, and Sagem Sécurité, a leader in biometric applications, announced a partnership agreement for the development of a biometric mobile computing solution: MorphoCheck™. This system will allow authentication of ID-documents, including Electronic Passports, ID Cards, Driving Licenses and many other types of ID documents.

MorphoCheck™ is a mobile, autonomous, lightweight multimodal terminal. It is capable of scanning 2D barcodes on specific documents by reading the MRZ band on passports and ID cards via an OCR swipe reader (Optical Character Recognition), and reading the electronic chips (contact and contactless). The electronic chips become then a common component of such documents, capturing and matching fingerprints. It can also send all this information to a remote central server.

"We are proud to partner with Psion Teklogix. Combining our know-how in biometric technology and their expertise in mobile computing will allow us to bring to the market the most secure biometric mobile computing solutions. This unique partnership reveals our synergies," said Jean Paul Jainsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Sagem Sécurité.

"Biometrics technology represents the future of security and we are pleased to be working with Sagem Sécurité, a global leader in developing biometrics applications," said Jacky Lecuivre, Chief Executive Officer, Psion Teklogix Inc. "We are thrilled to begin the development of a biometric mobile computing security solution that will help protect our customers for generations to come."

According to the International Biometric Group (IBG), global market figures for governmental biometric applications should exceed $ 1.9 billion (US) this year. In 2006, Sagem Sécurité received the Frost and Sullivan best business strategy award for its "government solutions" business and was recognized as the leader in this field.

Motorola to join Sony Ericsson in ownership of UIQ
Sony Ericsson and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced a definitive agreement under which Motorola will acquire a 50% interest in UI Holdings BV, the parent company of UIQ Technology AB, which is currently wholly owned by Sony Ericsson. Under the agreement, Motorola and Sony Ericsson will work together and jointly invest in the development of the UIQ open user interface platform


Motorola were the first to sell their stake in Symbian,which in the end caused Psion to have to sell their Symbian shares to Nokia.

Now Motorola buys into Uiq which used to be part of Symbian ,why sell in the first place. I hate Motorola if Psion still had their Symbian stake what would they be worth today.

fear not, the share price will rally when the fork lift truck becomes the next "must have" item. A fork lift truck without a Psion computer is like apple pie without the cream - just wrong. When the fork lift truck becomes the vehicle of choice for commuters, the share price will soar.

[sat69] 22/9/2007 10:07

LOL Mensrea!

A fall from 180p to 120p in around 4 months don't look that safe to me! Anything could happen next...

[mensrea] 22/9/2007 09:23

Safe, safe? We don`t want safe. We want surging bull runs defying market trends, we want upward action on a daily basis, we want new exciting products that techy types will buy by the dozen and restore the shareprice to its former glory!!! If we wanted safe, we would have our money in the banks......on reflection, perhaps you are right!!!! I`m just off to withdraw my £61.71 from my Northern Rock account so that I can plunge into PON on Monday. I am declaring my intentions in advance so as to ensure nobody seeing the buy thinks that PON has a stalking horse ready to pounce in order to snap up its exciting product range and quality management team. Safe as houses this one!

Interesting to monitor the daily movements in stock on loan. Fluctuates by small amounts, presumably reflecting a borrower moving in the market. Interesting too how there often seems to be a sharp dip at then of the trading day.

That said, I can't think of any rational explanation on a little stock like this, that barring a nasty surprise shouls be reasonably safe at this price.

[sat69] 18/9/2007 20:04

Sideways movement....or what!

[sat69] 05/9/2007 21:27

MB - Good luck. I can only see sideways movement in the short term though.

[mbaxter] 05/9/2007 20:31

yep. back in a few days ago.

[sat69] 05/9/2007 16:48

Not much action here for a while. Anybody still holding?

[ladybird1] 20/8/2007 15:12

An increase in stock borrowing over the last few days. Shorting? Gawd would know why at this level, tho'?

Psion H1 pretax profit up in line with view on improved cost control

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Psion PLC posted increased first-half pretax
profit in line with its expectations on improved cost control and said it sees
further margin improvement.
The mobile computing company reported pretax profit of 4.4 mln stg compared
with 865,000 stg a year ago. Revenue rose to 94.2 mln stg versus 93.4 mln stg a
year earlier.
The company said the second half has started in line with its expectations
adding that it sees satisfactory full-year results provided it meets the view
for North America in the fourth quarter.
Psion declared an increased interim dividend of 1.1 pence a share compared
with 1.0 pence a year ago.
The company said the order intake continues at a satisfactory level overall
although the North American market remains soft. Its full-year results will be
heavily weighted towards the second half, it added.

[sruk77] 16/8/2007 22:10

Hopefully we will see a rise with tomorrow morning's market rally.

[ladybird1] 16/8/2007 13:51

Of course, profits for the equivalent period last year were expected to be £5m., before the shambles came out. They have clearly worked hard to reestablish the basics and get back on track, but not yet recovered to the point of 18 months ago.

Eqully, the shares are not 195p as they were 18 months ago. The logic says if the results had come out a month ago, before the current market confusion, they would have tisen to say 150p plus. Probably currently undervalued when it all settles down

[garycook] 16/8/2007 10:12

What a 9% drop brillant!!!
