Small ramp, please ignore if it offends. Anybody looked into DCTA ? I was looking for companies like SPSY and DCTA seems to fit the bill, I bought in small today, posted a short summary over there. We should share good ideas.

The good thing is, we all thought Aeris was going to be a winner and although it has not happpened yet something else pops up and takes the reins.

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 19:48

AgreedCan add a pound on for trubrand if it takes off and 50p for aeris!!Hahaha I'm only joking but we have so many irons in the fire that this could go parabolic if other areas of the bus take off200p Plse !!

I remember a chap on the loq board now ASCO held from 6p to 150 how much richer would he be now? This has all the hallmarks of similar type rise if they get things right ....although in a different area of business.

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 19:02

I'm hoping I hold for at least 5 more years but this is too big a part of my portfolio so I will be topslicing on the way(with a 150p low hopefully!)

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 19:01

Yes I sold mine at 140 ,was a 4 bagger so pleasing but he definitely influenced me ..not blaming him as was itching to take a profit and was non core unlike spsy ekt and DwhaV well done Sonofa

It's a top up Tilly. In my SIPP so I intend it to be a long term investment.

[sonofbanjosinger] 22/2/2018 18:34

I am definately happy with this share. I hope Tilly, if rainmaker pops up and gives you a sell recommendation that you take no notice. Just look what has happened, since he told everyone to sell Titon. Luckily l was loading up whilst everyone was selling.

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 18:00

Well done MR TIs that your maiden investment? Or adding?Seems like it was quite hard to buy !

[mr. t] 22/2/2018 17:37

That was me. SPSY's valuation is reasonable, the company is on a role, and the market opportunities are great. I think that makes a good investment.

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 17:10

Looks like 2 decent sized buys gone thru Own up who bought 38k ?!!

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 16:03

Or maybe they have to make a market in ftse stocks?

[fft] 22/2/2018 15:42

Maybe of interest that we now have 5 MM's. I am sure it was only 4 yesterday. Fairly certain the new one is Nplus1 Singer (SING). On the bid at the moment. They wouldn't join in unless they saw volume improving, or a chance to make a turn.

[tilly99] 22/2/2018 13:11

32k trade at 110 at the close yday

[harrogate] 21/2/2018 11:38

That is the question did it ?

[tilly99] 21/2/2018 11:30

If testing finished December we should hear in next few weeks surely ?

[tilly99] 21/2/2018 11:13

Wow someone is desperate to offload some stock!!

[simso] 21/2/2018 11:08

Yes my notes from meeting Nabil in Sept are aligned with what harrogate says, that they were hoping for a large scale trial by Q4 of 2017, with first revenues later in 2018 if all went according to plan. I believe a large trial would need a pause in production by the Manufacturer, and am sure they are always reluctant so scarifice short term revenue, so I am sure the date of trial is far from guaranteed and not enirely in SPSY's control. However, it will be a really significant step when and if the trial happens.

[fft] 21/2/2018 10:54

bit odd behaviour. MMs all over the place. can buy 7500 at 107 from CFEP and sell 5000 at 107.15 to WINS.

A flurry of trades before that seems to have really mixed it up.

[harrogate] 21/2/2018 10:41

This is what they said at the interims in Sept 17 -
"In addition, based on the recent approval in China of our materials for smartphone authentication, we expect to undertake important large scale production testing and validation of the technology for use in the tobacco industry this year."

Would be good to know if that happened and how it went.

[tilly99] 21/2/2018 10:21

Totally agree simsoHarrogate,not sure it was ever end 2017..I think it was late QTR 1 to end summer Someuwin,no cheap stock around now.

[someuwin] 21/2/2018 09:40

can't get an online buy quote.

[harrogate] 21/2/2018 09:25

Isn't that why patient investors can make money? The key for me is Trubrand China Tobacco - it was said that it would be late 2017 so getting a little nervous about that - the rest and the almost certain dividend increase should be good.

[simso] 21/2/2018 09:19

Interesting to note that the share price is up 32% year to date (in a pretty tricky stock market, to say the least!), and up 331% since the start of Jan 17. Despite that, all I feel is a bit frustatrated that it isnt higher, annoyed at Worsley etc and impatient with the share price given the fundamentals, prospects and potential!
Hopefully the trading update in 4 weeks time will be a trigger for further advance, and that was certainly the case in March last year
Would not be surpised to see the final PBT slightly above the already revised WHI number, an excellent closing cash position, some clarity on how they might deploy it (Buybacks or increased Divi)and hopefully some positive news on the large scale tobacco trial of TruBrand.

Run up to figs ? 120p?
