Red, Don't tell a soul but seeing ISDX trades on Advfn trades is free. Top right of the trades data is a picture of a switch, it should be to the right and show green if enabled. I just checked CAMB and there are a few ISDX trades on there if you want to check.

PTSG doing well on the contract side so far this year APAD. Not having too much of an affect on the shareprice though!

My losing streak continues unabated. Clln below £3.00. That was not in the script 'wot I rote'.
That and SSE will turn up into a nice profit soon.

One of my picks SDI (+5%) issued a decent HY today with a 'strong outlook for the full year'. ProReveal may still surprise.

Phew avoided a 2nd profit warning LOL

PEL-another pick, interesting appointment of an ex Merlin Enetrtainments Director as a NED last week

Both very illiquid and probably as risky as they come excluding Natural Resources.

Shareholder action at one of my holdings BLVN is being launched. Institutional holder (COC) are attempting to remove the board and replace with their own team. With the purpose pf then breaking up and returning cash to shareholders...the share price likes it...

Dis share price really surging this week. bid/offer now up to 1.65/1.8. The wider mkt seems to be latching on to the potential here at last. pete

Camellia (CAM) - share price creeping up

I am expecting good results this FY based on Tea {India}, Macadamia Nuts {much new plantings} and Avocados {Africa}.

Also, they have ridded themselves of some unprofitable enterprises {engineering, banking} and hopefully will now concentrate on modernising their agriculture {irrigation, packaging and marketing} to ease the affects of climate changes

Thought that might be the case.
Transport costs are high for heavy bulky goods. I expect it would be cheaper where major ports have lower costs and handle bigger ships.

Thanks.

Bought 2.5k Clln @ £2.308424p in Sipp.
Trade at £2.37/8
Just to add a few more to my SLOWLY growing holding.

Off to Marstons AGM later.

IGG - The CEO sees value at current levels having just picked up £1.1m worth of stock. Interim results look fine to me.

[apad] 24/1/2017 08:43

I only know it as a quarry, red. Don't know where it sells its products, or how much it produces. Jersey is not a big market for construction materials and getting stuff on and off the Rock is expensive.
FWIW

There have been a few comments about SigmaRoc of late. Are they a Breedon clone?
This is the latest comment from to fund investors and it refers to your little fortress.
Do you know anything about the business taken over?


Citywire A-rated managers Gervais Williams and Martin Turner have bought into building products firm SigmaRoc following its reverse takeover of Channel Islands-based Ronez.

The small cap veterans went from no stake in the business to holding 3.1 million shares or 3.13% worth £1.3 million at a share price of 41.33p. The shares are held in their Diverse Income Trust.

SigmaRoc recently completed the acquisition of construction materials producer Ronez, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aggregate Industries, for £45 million in cash. Back in August the company, previously Messaging International, restructured as SigmaRoc and replaced its chief executive.

Over the last three months, the firm’s share price is up 5.97%. The Ronez deal marked the company’s first acquisition under CEO Max Vermorken, who also indicated that there would be more to come.

About the acquisition he commented: ‘It will be our cornerstone asset and a great starting point in the journey to grow a niche focused building materials business.’

They placed 100m shares at 40p to fund the purchase.

Dependent on details after FCA consultation it is likely that some of the froth will be blown off the profits, however they might have a bigger slice of the cake.

Lost my nerve on Bt.a
Had a deal for 2.5k @ £3.22 and bits but passed. It would have been a day trade.
Losing my nerve in my dotage.

Igg
I see the key paragraph as:

"IG is evolving and refining its offering to clients. Strategically, for some time, we have been shifting our emphasis to active financial trading and investing, deepening and broadening the relationship with our clients. In January, we received our licence from the FCA to offer an investments service to clients in the UK, in partnership with BlackRock, and intend to launch our smart portfolio ETF product in the UK in the near future. Also, as part of this evolution, we now offer clients our Limited Risk account, with an absolute guarantee that they can lose no more than their deposit - around half of the accounts in the UK are being opened on this basis. We have also taken the decision to no longer offer our Sprints binary product to new clients globally.

I suppose that it boils down to the volume and profitability of the business going forward, after they have re-positioned.

FEVR, the headline numbers are good, red. I suspect that I will be alone in my view - not for the first time :-)
I am looking for a major international brand - which means success in the USA'S huge market.

I don't think IGG have structural problems. They are expanding as a conventional broker and are well placed to deal with regulatory issues.

I bow to your superior knowledge.
The headline numbers look good in the script - PR/Marketing Dept at work?

Looks like they are wrestling with structural problems.

Bt.
Can you believe the story?
A major company like hat should have robust systems that prevent major errors in reporting.

Comfortable with IGG results. Competent company, well managed and ahead of the pack. Usual increase in divi.
I expect regulatory change to be to its advantage.

Temperature rises at Fever:

The Board is pleased to announce that the strong growth achieved in the first half of the year accelerated in the second half of 2016. It is expected that sales in the second half will be ahead of the prior year period by 75%. As a result, full year revenue is expected to be circa £102.2 million, reflecting growth of 73% on 2015.

I am disappointed by the FEVR update.
UK revenue is dominating and the USA income has not increased enough.
The USA income was 23% of the total and is now 20%. Given it was 56 percent of UK income it should be growing faster if they were making a complete success of the US market.
My numbers from Interim and Update:
Revenue Revenue
Interim Update
UK 39% 48%
Europe 33% 26%
USA 23% 20%
RoW 5% 6%

UK 16 34
USA 9 14
Total £m 41 71
