if they wanted to get out why not at £10.10?? anyway I'm happy for this to go back to £6 or even £4 when I got in initially.

Poor show by directors to sell so early on in the story, if that is what it is. They have used the hype to unload the shares in large numbers. I'm out at 850p, and I see this bubble deflating a bit from here.

[mmelody] 18/6/2013 17:02

ii's have forced it.

[dibs61] 18/6/2013 16:32

Me not like. I'm out - at least for now to see what transpires.

[pcok] 18/6/2013 16:13

ollocks...

What about the great news due 26/27???

Could they be selling to an institution...a lot to offload in a thinly traded share.

More to this than meets the eye.

The fact that he got a price well below current market price should tell you something!

Directors and Chief Scientist sell £12m of shares at 810p.

£12m! Must be one of the largest market sales by directors I've ever seen. Normally they only get to take out that sort of loot if the whole company is taken over.

There's going to be a lot of noise in this space over the coming months and years. Many will jump on the 'bandwagon', making all sorts of lavish claims to be 'the big data this' and 'the big data that'. It always happens in hype-cycles like this. In reality most are just companies repurposing existing legacy products and slapping a new label on it. This is NOT one of those. We are building from the ground-up with unique knowledge and information that only a few in the world have (the amount of brain-power in the room during some of the early design meeting was frightening!)

Your CEO backing SPA in a very big way, worth keeping an eye on.

[snatander] 30/5/2013 09:01

Wouldnt be surprised to see a bid at the £20 level or thereabouts

[mmelody] 30/5/2013 09:00

some people don't understand tech. leave them to old school (if they've left school!)

New CFO coming on-board from Sage, targeted global acquisitions. HP in the cross hairs IMO.

[sparkymoc] 27/5/2013 23:08

Great growth but when are they going to make a profit? Might not be in the next year or two. Could be one to buy and hold

[dlku] 16/5/2013 15:42

buying by me, but not the 60k :-)

[mmelody] 16/5/2013 15:37

nice to see a 60k trade on this today. looks like we could go for another leg up soon even without news.

Answering the question why Harrison would want to move to a much smaller company, he said: "How many other companies on the exchange are growing at 96 percent a year? He thinks there's the potential at WANdisco to do something similar to Sage."

City Diary: Unlimited holiday allowance? No thanks, I'll just take 16 days

No prizes for guessing why Sage finance chief Paul Harrison is "very excited" to be joining software company WANdisco.
The business with the most party-themed name in tech gives its employees an unlimited holiday allowance. So, theoretically, California-bound Harrison won't have to do any work at all.
WANdisco introduced its generous vacation policy last February, as a way of ensuring its staff remain "productive and happy ... not to mention sane". "After all, no one knows when you need a break better than you," said the Aim-listed company as it rolled out the benefit to all its 130 global staff, except those five toiling in China.
But there is a twist in this tale. Despite the perk, WANdisco staff take an average of just 16 days' holiday a year; it seems the fact its employees own more than half the company is rather motivating.
"The staff know that their success is linked to our success," says a spokesman for the "100pc uptime" enterprise. No slacking, Harrison.

nice shake - some chunky buys still coming in.

[penny share] 09/5/2013 14:59

With acquisitions WAND will challenge IBM before too long. Paul Harrison is there for a reason. I sold out of ASOS, my WAND shares are staying put!

With earnings behind us there's a free ride here until new contract news. They only deal in big data, the contacts will be blue-chip by default.
