Another 2 massive trades Wednesday, strange there's no price movement, could be a matched buyer and seller at work.

Another cracker from C/E,this will fall to about 3p in the next 3 months.

> otherwise we would have seen RNSs on contract awards

I wonder about this too. In 'wearing rosey specs mode' it is possible that the new relationship with alcatel prevents vianet independently announcing new customers. The news article from the scotsman implies new signings for which no RNS was made.

[badabing] 25/11/2004 09:44

Lack of newsflow probaly means they will be poor to say the least...otherwise we would have seen RNSs on contract awards ect etc...I fear that we may get something that says business is "improving" but that revenues are flat and new buisness is still to be won...or something like that...it does not bode well this lack of any company announcements.......I expect to see jam tomorrow predictions feature alot.....

[devbod] 25/11/2004 09:31

Small but continuous flow of sells over last few days pushing the price down. Making me nervous about the results!

BadaBing. Can you post the article from share mag?
Interims due in about 10 days.
Meanwhile see new website- vOpen
It is now active.
I am tempted to top up before the interims!

[badabing] 11/11/2004 10:42

I just got a free copy of Shares Mag via email (promo offer from Mo.neyAM). Has a nice piece on VIA (from June though !!)

[exotic] 07/11/2004 23:12

Due to other offline commitments, I will unfortunately have limited Internet access during market hours for the next 3 months, but will pop in regulary to see how things are going and update the thread where necessary after close.

Good luck everyone.

[tedg41] 02/11/2004 18:49

This site, like the share itself, gone very quiet!
Oh for a bit of NEWS!

[exotic] 01/10/2004 18:12

Difficult to say really, almost certainly not sells, slightly higher chance they're buys but still very unlikely, could be a rollover done flat as a favour or, more likely, a matched buyer and seller (presuming L2 never changed around the time).

[badabing] 01/10/2004 12:48

Were those buys or sells today?...does anyone really care any more anyway?

[devbod] 14/9/2004 09:12

Already did ;) Seriously though, I think this share fell back on the absense of news. The comment above implies all is well with new customers signing up and actually placing orders. Probably still in evaluation quantity levels but thats still a lot better than the previous silence implied.

[tedg41] 13/9/2004 23:03

Time to add a few more!

[devbod] 13/9/2004 09:22

"We are on track, closing major accounts and booking customer orders with global brands"

Thats really good to hear, been a bit too quiet lately.

Technology investor ups his stake in Vianet

PERRY GOURLEY


A LEADING private technology investor has significantly upped his stake in Vianet, the vending machine technology firm.

Michael Underwood last week bought two million shares in the £10m Dunfermline company to take his stake to just under 4%, making him the largest individual shareholder.

Underwood, who made a significant profit after being an early-stage investor in Wolfson Microelectronics, also holds significant stakes in two other quoted technology firms - Amino Communications and TRL Electronics. Both have seen strong share price gains this year.

Underwood, who is based in England, could not be contacted but it is thought his decision to increase his holding in Vianet comes on the back of evidence of an increased number of trials and roll-outs with major clients and the potential of its global marketing partnership and hosting deal with Alcatel.

It is thought Underwood, who has been an investor in the company since its launch, has been increasing his stake with several purchases recently, but his latest took him over the 3% level at which it has to be disclosed to the stock market.

Ian Orrock, chief executive of Vianet, said he could not comment on Underwood's increased stake but confirmed the company was continuing to make good progress. "We are on track, closing major accounts and booking customer orders with global brands. We are also extremely well supported by our investors - more than 65% of which are institutions or major private investors."

The company is due to release a second set of interim results in November, with final figures due in May.

Shares in the Aim-quoted company have fallen from a year high of 10.25p to around 6.75p last week.
