Yep. They've only got 10 years to do it too! :-/

[brando69] 27/6/2007 17:44

well, at least the board have to get us back to 8p before they can exercise any of their latest options. see rns today

[sinclaaj] 27/6/2007 10:25

I got 6.788p yesterday and the same for another 9000 just now. I only need to offload another 9000 or 18000 over the next few days as I intend to keep the rest of my holding. It would have been nice to do it with one lot of commission though! I appreciate the offer of an off market deal but it would probably be more hassle than it's worth as the shares are held in my broker's nominee account.

[brando69] 26/6/2007 18:57

how much were they offering you for 9000 shares?

and how much do you need to offload?

maybe we can strike a deal off market.

[sinclaaj] 26/6/2007 18:52

There's a good reason it's all buying brando... the MMs just won't accept any stock of more than 3xNMS (9000) even at under the quoted bid! I know because I've tried offloading some stock as I need the cash... it's virtually unshiftable. BTW, I still believe HTEC will come good one day - I just can't afford to wait any longer unfortunately.

As they say in Yorkshire; if you have nothing to say, say nothing

[brando69] 25/6/2007 21:26

hardly any volume at the mo, but at least it's virtually all buying. needs to build up a bit of volume, and needs a bit of news!! ung management are being far too quiet.

[brando69] 20/6/2007 17:27

something cld be afoot... 170K cross trade today

[tsmith2] 19/6/2007 08:29

roll out news (of the contract with oil major) is what I have been informed... I note this from the equity issue statement in march

The Board is also pleased to announce that HTEC Limited ("HTEC"), the Company's
operating subsidiary, has received a significant contract award from a major oil company. The contract is for long term supply of software and services to
petrol retailing outlets, with initial rollout into Europe, but with the
expectation of a wider international rollout over time.

[brando69] 19/6/2007 00:15

buys outweighing sells considerably, but needs a bit more volume to really shift it.

[bobby.ifa] 18/6/2007 11:23

Looks like my 30k spooked the market!

[stephenwilson] 18/6/2007 11:10

And as if by magic. There it is.

[stephenwilson] 18/6/2007 11:02

Bobby your deal was well above NMS of 3000 so I think it takes an hour to be notified.

[bobby.ifa] 18/6/2007 10:59

That's odd, my 30k trade has not shown up yet. Those pesky market makers!

[brando69] 18/6/2007 10:35

anyone who was really canny last week cld have topped up at 6.75. wish i'd had the funds. wld have welcomed the chance to average down. once they update the market again, i suspect a rerating will follow

[bobby.ifa] 18/6/2007 10:18

I've topped up with a further 30k 10 minutes ago. Price looks too cheap for me.
Hope you could elaborate on what you've heard tsmith.

[brando69] 18/6/2007 10:08

hope you're right...

[brando69] 18/6/2007 10:07

tsmith, you can't say that without putting meat on the bones. otherwise you will gain a reputation for idle ramping.

[bobby.ifa] 18/6/2007 10:00

Prey, what news from afar, sirrah?

[tsmith2] 18/6/2007 09:38

From what I hear good news could well be on its way :)

[brando69] 16/6/2007 01:09

tsmith - can't see any, other than that the mms will mark it down on v small volumes cos most days there is virtually no trade at all. it is the archetypal unloved stock. but every time it gets to 7p or below it will spark a buying frenzy and move up again sharply. had i had funds free (i was tempted to sell nexus but it was only at 1.4 - had it been at 1.45 i might even have done so) i would have bought more at 6.75 (it was there briefly) and averaged down. At the moment my average is just over 8p which is not disastrous, but I'd prefer to be at a price level where, if I see sth better, I can exit at at least breakeven.

[chris nuttall] 15/6/2007 20:17

Look back at the notes you will see that they gave a share sale at 7p per share, nobody is going to pay wildly over that amount. At the moment untill those shares have been sold and absorbed into the market, then and only then will you see any price changes to the share price.

[tsmith2] 15/6/2007 15:29

TW a couple of weeks ago

I maintain that HTEC is a business perfectly capable of driving group profits up beyond £2 million (on which no tax will be payable for many years). It has done so in the past, with its new cash it can do so again. At 8p, valued at £9.1 million, my stance remains "speculative buy".

[tsmith2] 15/6/2007 15:18

brando69 - any particular reasons for the fall - can't see any myself, everything going well.

[brando69] 01/6/2007 13:05

looks to me, based on level 2, that only one of the five marketmakers has stock on their hands now - evolution. they will only let you sell for 5.5 and are offering for 8.5. SCAP are offering for 8.75 and the other three for 9.5.

this will move up again shortly...
