Hmmm, on reflection I think it may be old news mudbath, I base that on the fact that they talk about having had 18 yrs experience, which from 1986 when the company was founded makes it circa 2004.In which case I'm not quite sure why it should pop up on google alerts now !!! Heh hoh the results should provide some more accurate/current facts.

One(slight) worry ARTY; Barnaby Quinn is(or was)CEO;not as stated in their press release,Ian Lenagan.
Part of my bullish scenario revolves around Quinn's prowess.All will be revealed shortly.

mudbath, Yes exactly, that's why I wasn't completely sure it was "new". Amazing what you can stumble across on the web !
It makes me wonder as to why they are not promoting themselves on their website with all this information, maybe just saving it for the results as you suggest.

[mudbath] 22/6/2010 17:35

Thanks ARTY(star man!!)
It's just typical that there is currently no apparent reference to this North American expansion on the WSI web site.
Surely yet another serious positive though to add to those due to be announced with the prelims.

Over 10,000 sites installed, sounds pretty impressive.

I am heartened by your comments ARTY and also by today's upward stirring in the SP;as such movements have been conspicuous by their absence for some weeks now.
Will look into Stilo when I have a moment.!!

[battlebus] 17/6/2010 08:26

THEY ARE LISTENING!!!!

Just to cheer you up Muddy, I'm sure there are numerous lurkers, such as I, who bought in here earlier on the strength of your thorough research and are simply waiting for WSI to release some news.

I also share the battlebus view that at present there are some great companies at very low valuations.Confidence seems to have been dented by the recent market drop and I also think there is a lot of anxiety (probably misplaced)about the Capital Gains Tax changes to be announced next week.

Anyway, keep up the good work I always enjoy your postings. As an aside, I've also been building a small holding in Stilo as the Microsoft connection is too much to ignore and the recent tie up with JustSystems seems to underpin growth/ potential future success.

[mudbath] 16/6/2010 21:53

I have bought over 100k WSI shares this week and the price never even flickered.
The Directors would not have added(at higher prices)had not the corporate plan been well on track.Could be that one of the institutional holders is shedding a few into the market.
Like you battlebus,I remain hugely confident....
and yet..... the silence remains deafening.
Mud.

[battlebus] 16/6/2010 19:53

Mudbath i'm still listening and confidently waiting but it seems not too many others see the risk reward investing here or in any stocks at present. 7.5p way too cheap!

Sorry.

Certainly these current levels will soon be a memory.(7.45 pence to buy).
I know that many investors are currently sitting on their hands watching.
Just watching never buttered any parsnips.
Press that buy button for a 50% gain in just 10 days.!!
All i.m.o as always.

And just as a taster of what the report might incude; we are expecting release of the detail of the US Tier 1 Retail client for WORKPLACE ONLINE,and how these new revenues will impact on future profitability.

On top of this we will be informed of the Infor collaboration,which should serve to introduce the WSI offerings to retailers worldwide:-


"The newest module, Infor WPM Task Management,powered by WorkPlace Systems is designed to help retailers solve THEIR MOST COMPLEX LABOR CHALLENGES.

INFOR,with more than 2000 retail customers,140 of the worlds top brands and almost FIVE MILLION retail associates BEING MANAGED BY THEIR PRODUCTS,

"INFOR WFM Task Management-POWERED BY WORKPLACE SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY-gives you the tools you need at the pace you want,to make sure that stores are executing your corporate vision efficiently and effectively."

This is all additional to their normal revenue streams.
DEBT FREE-CASH RICH AND GENERATIVE-AND WITH A CEO WHOSE SHARE OPTIONS ARE DUE TO BE TRIGGERED WHEN WSI STOCK HIT 30 PENCE.

UNCOIL THAT SPRING !!

[mudbath] 05/6/2010 12:05

The latest(unconfirmed)date for the final results is now June 25th.

[mudbath] 29/5/2010 12:02

Sorry,but my charting interests only extend as far as "coiled springs".
Much subjective visualization is required to identify the parameters.
In view of the MMs' wanting WSI shares yesterday it looks as though my gonads are in safe hands.!!

WSI stock UP 50% in June.
DEFFO.

[ravel morrison] 27/5/2010 16:15

LOL...No thats the turtle head crowning....;-)

[pugugly] 27/5/2010 15:32

Re Chart. Sorry to me looks like a reverse head and shoulders forming and nearly ready to break back down. !!

[pugugly] 27/5/2010 11:39

I would not be so cruel. Market does not seem to like at the moment.

[mudbath] 23/5/2010 21:40

Gonads even PUGUGLY.!!

[pugugly] 23/5/2010 12:35

mud:> Will you put your neck on 164 so failure to meet your 50% means we can send the headsman roung ???

[mudbath] 23/5/2010 09:35

battlebus-Think hydro electric torrential turbine turning revenue flows.
"Trickle",indeed;I think not.
50 % gain coming for WSI S.P. in June.
Trust me!!
Mud.

[battlebus] 17/5/2010 18:36

Hopefully signs of this revenue trickling into the June results will help the shares up a little.
