Thanks Trinko

Re-took my position earlier today as it seems likely the INVH&S pattern I mentioned previously will get confirmed at eod.

Bit of a mid morning shake but great to see a finish above £4. Eagerly awaiting the results, particularly the profit number. If the outlook statement speaks of continued momentum this could fly.

Hi LM, I use the advfn fibs as measures and markers for pattern targets calculated with Bulkowski's stats, rather than as fib extentions. The advfn 'Pro chart' tab that I use doesn't seem to have any other way of making measured marks.

I have tried using fib extensions, but it seemed very time consuming to do the maths. Bulkowski's method on the other hand seems reasonably fast and reliable, once the pattern has been identified.

Hi Bamboo - I confess I haven't figured out how to properly use them - will have to watch a couple of tutorials - but for blue skyers Fibonacci Extensions is apparently the way to go.. best efforts here starting at the base of the trend

LM, great chart. Mine is starting to get too busy, making it, along with many others, less clear and purposeful.

edit, Cleared the chart up a little and have looked at various patterns. I have gone for a target of approx 486 based upon the confirmed LT Rising Wedge. The upper trendline could morph into the neckline of an INVH&S, with a higher target.

The Breakaway gap between 335-360 could become a support area.

Smithie- could you bring the shares into your eps estimates and show how it is fully priced comapred to its peer group of software companies (at least the ones which turn a profit). I think yesterday's rise was very moderate.

Weekly view - you will tend to get profit taking at each bag level - but if TSI & MF stay above zero it can keep going

A finish above £4 will bode well. Still significant upside in my view Smithie6 but if you're out, good luck to you.

trinko, I took profit today as needed cash for a new trade [crpr]. Indicators suggest however this could have further to go, I will post a chart in the next day or so, when I catch up a bit.

Ah, me topslicing, that's what's moved the share price back up again, you're welcome!

I'm going to post this here with a recommendation that you get a subscription to Stockopedia yourself - there's any number of great tips that I've completely failed to capitalise on. And if anyone complains about me pasting it here I'll take it down.

Trading Update

Posting this in response to reader request. Great news here:

"...a strong performance in the second half of 2016, driven by a large number of license orders in the final quarter, including substantial activity with major enterprise customers. In addition to the effect of the stronger sales performance, the profitability of the business was further enhanced by cost efficiencies over the course of the year, and to a lesser extent by foreign exchange gains linked to the sharp fall in Sterling.

As a consequence, the Board expects that reported revenues for the year ended 31 December 2016 will be in line with current market expectations. The Board also expects that, even when excluding the impact of the positive foreign exchange effects, EBITDA will be ahead, and pre-tax profits significantly ahead, of current market expectations."

So to be absolutely clear, the good news today is due to margins and not sales.

I haven't actually looked at this company before (it's great to engage with other investors, because you can get exposed to a lot more interesting ideas!)

Anyway, I see that these shares have "multi-bagged" over the past year, rising from 60p.

It's a software business, specialising in "Enterprise Innovation Management". Checking their website, I get the following summary:

"Sopheon integrated Enterprise Innovation Performance solutions support everything you need for the entire innovation, new product development (NPD), and innovation governance lifecycle."

And on the Introductory page for investors:

Sopheon (LSE:SPE) is an international provider of software and services for product life cycle management. Our Accolade® solution supports strategic roadmapping, idea development, product portfolio management and the creation, commercialization and replacement of products.

So that's reasonably clear, although without trying some of their software for yourself, or talking to staff, the company will inevitably feel like a black box as an investment.

When investing in software, a basic test is the strength of cash flow - does the company generate real earnings, or is it capitalising too many of its expenses?

Doing a quick test, I see that SPE capitalised £900k of development costs in H1, and amortised £1 million of intangibles (so that £1 million can be added back to net income, to arrive at operating cash flow). That looks like a fair match, and H1 in the previous year was also a fair match.

Checking the final results for 2015, I see a similar positive pattern in terms of the match-up between development costs capitalised and intangibles amortised.

So on an initial glance, I'd have good confidence in the earnings here.

It ha a huge StockRank of 98, and looks worthy of further investigation.
