Can anyone explain the small size of trades to-day? There are 11 buys totalling 500 odd shares. The average consideration is about £100. Who would want to deal in this size?

[spaceparallax] 10/12/2008 13:47

It would be good to break through the most recent lowest high C240p.

panmure reitterated its buy yesterday does anyone have access to their full research note.

[das9] 03/12/2008 20:01

Late in the day, away from the cliff edge again :)

[das9] 01/12/2008 17:23

Sh.tty market to-day, 3 times as much sales as buys, yet the share price has held up.

Think the Santa Rally is going to be Santa Slide this year...

[das9] 29/11/2008 10:20

Silver: welcome and good luck! I got in on the last dip. Reassured by director buy (@219), but market currently ignores these and any other plus points.

EG: have a look at VLK. Recent significant director buying at 29p, now 18p!

[silverfern] 27/11/2008 11:38

I have bought today - I think they look good enough for a short term recovery but will be solvent during the bad times to come. Bought into current price expecting 10% fluctuations til the new year, then upward.

[das9] 26/11/2008 16:23

Cr4zy: thanks for this interesting post. Certainly should be RNS. In normal times the share price would be due a healthy markup, but I am becoming increasingly cynical at the way excellent shares like this are being trashed, whether the news is good or bad.

[cr4zyness] 26/11/2008 13:29

Should a RNS been announced on this:




SDL Global Information Management Technology Helps Microsoft Windows Mobile To Reach More Than 50 Global Markets
November 19, 2008
SDL plc, the leading provider of Global Information Management™ (GIM) solutions, recently announced that the Mobile Communications Business (MCB) division of Microsoft® has selected a terminology solution from SDL. The SDL MultiTerm® technology will provide a platform to create a centralized repository of approved terminology designed to help enhance the quality and consistency of global content for their mobile communications products in more than 20 languages.

The MCB team is responsible for the international functionality, globalization and localization for Windows Mobile® products, enabling the MCB core business to go-to-market faster in more than 50 markets. MCB needed a solution that would allow them to manage terminology for their software that runs on numerous OEM handheld devices. In addition to managing their own internal terminology, MCB needed to integrate existing terminology from numerous OEM's.

The market leading terminology management solution from SDL was selected because of its ability to scalable to manage the large volume of multilingual terms needed by MCB and ensure Microsoft brand consistency, which is widely regarded as one of the world's strongest brands. Ease of use was a key factor to MCB, in particular, the customization of entries and attributes within the tool. SDL MultiTerm's ability to work in a graphical interface, incorporating both text and images, will allow the translators to better understand the devices they are translating. The system will provide access to approved terminology for translators, creating global content for MCB mobile products and ensuring the consistency of product documentation in multilingual versions.

SDL is now working with MCB to implement an SDL MultiTerm solution to help centralize terminology. Through this partnership, SDL and MCB will improve business processes to achieve faster time-to-market for products, improve the accuracy and consistency of localized content, and increase global brand value.

"As a leader in mobile communications technology, Microsoft needs to ensure brand consistency and quality while servicing our rapidly expanding worldwide customer base," said Michael Chang, senior group manager of Microsoft's Mobile Communications Business division. "We will utilize SDL's terminology management platform to help ensure our worldwide multilingual customers receive the best experience possible using Windows Mobile software and devices."

"Working together, Microsoft and SDL are providing Microsoft's authors and translators with a central source for terminology," said Peter Smith, senior vice president of operations, SDL. "Microsoft's selection of SDL MultiTerm reflects the power of our technology platform. By having SDL as a partner, Microsoft can increase the quality of its software and accelerate time-to-market to help advance its position as a leader in mobile communications."

Looking at the recent chart we may have done!

[spaceparallax] 26/11/2008 12:49

I thought we'd seen the last of the low 200s!

[spaceparallax] 18/11/2008 11:42

Presumably today's RNS explains the recent fall.

[phillis] 17/11/2008 16:03

..so is the CEO and he's happy

[spaceparallax] 17/11/2008 14:45

On the whole, I tend to ignore such signals providing that I'm happy with the Company performance and know of no bad news. I'm a long termer.

[das9] 17/11/2008 14:21

Fantastic news! Should underpin things even if the market continues sour. Glad we didn't follow that clear sell signal last week: must admit I thought about it!

[spaceparallax] 17/11/2008 10:33

Our CEO buying can't do any harm.

[das9] 14/11/2008 17:13

So all that was just a bad dream....

except just looked at Wall St :(

[spaceparallax] 14/11/2008 12:34
