Xcap Securities Share Discussion Threads

[baldeagle5] 21/5/2012 10:04

Where is the Director buying in this? Doesn;t bode well when directors are absent at price lows...

Anyone know what level of reg capital they are holding at this point? Must be pretty tight looking at their last set of results.

anyone know much about this one?

This year has seen junior gold mining stocks take a battering, but opportunities abound for investors keen on gold miners if they set their sights on Central Asia. So says broker XCAP Securities, which released a note on the sector this morning.
Preproduction gold miners operating in the region appear to be "conspicuously undervalued" in comparison to African miners, said XCAP, pointing out that share prices put the enterprise value for Central Asian miners at US$11 per ounce compared with US$53 per ounce for their African counterparts.

IMVHO......its probs because small cap firms have realised that when raising funds via XCAP whom receive a discount to the market, following which they then dump them in the market thus sending the share price into a downward death spiral! just an opinion, but I have seen them do it and its not pretty! Not good for shareholders and certainly not good for the company raising funds. imo they might be getting the cold shoulder now due to past actions???? who knows until they say something? all guess work!

Anyone know why the shares are down 30% today?

[andrbea] 22/6/2011 14:29

up 6% today

on the back of a 400k sell?

[purplebox] 09/5/2011 20:05

Nice solid results - I think that we will see some increased buying in the next fews weeks.

[dick grasso] 09/5/2011 10:56

Happy with those results today, trading ahead of forecasts, looking to add on strength! Good first 6 months as a listed entity!

[dick grasso] 27/4/2011 11:10

Looks like a bit of PI buying this morning1

[dick grasso] 18/4/2011 11:09

Some rather unpleasant sells going through so far today!

[dick grasso] 12/4/2011 10:25

pb, looks that way! Hoping an update will be released as they have suggested, probably around the last week of April if they do agree on doing one.

[purplebox] 12/4/2011 09:26

Looks like somebody's just bought 1,000,000 @ 4.8p.

[purplebox] 07/4/2011 17:34

The 250,000 at 4.0p was most probably somebody selling to realise a profit or selling to realise a loss for CGT reasons as it was the last day of the tax year on Tuesday.

But, today we also had a 2,000,000 rollover reported from Tuesday so somebody is happy to keep their position open.

[dick grasso] 05/4/2011 13:24

that 250k at 4 pence will be the reason we've not moved up on earlier buys!

[dick grasso] 05/4/2011 10:07

noticed that too pb! hopefully a sign of things to come!

[purplebox] 05/4/2011 10:05

And today, another 150,000 bought at 5.0p.

[purplebox] 04/4/2011 17:11

Well somebody bought 60,000 at the full offer price today :-).

[dick grasso] 04/4/2011 16:12

Had an email back from the Chairman today, they will be announcing Prelim's in early May and possibly will be issuing an update before then although this hasn't been finalised as yet. I'm hoping and expecting some good trading and a decent forward looking statement, fingers crossed as it's getting a tad boring as you've pointed out andrbea!

[andrbea] 25/3/2011 15:10

zzzz, come on MMs ... give us some price action (read previous post)

XCAP tie-ups offer eastern promise

25th March 2011

XCAP Securities has has formed a strategic alliance with firms in the Middle and Far East.

The firm has linked up with GS Wealth (based in Singapore and Malaysia) and ECS (based in Hong Kong and Dubai) to offer portfolio management services for expat clients.

XCAP will offer the services from its Wilmslow office, from which it will also be running three offshore funds.

XCAP is targeting clients with a portfolio of more than £100,000, but argued that this was more inclusive than many rivals whose typical threshold was £1m.

James Igoe, portfolio manager at XCAP Securities, said: "We have spent a considerable amount of time in the Far and Middle East and have now entered into a formal alliance with GS Wealth and ECS.

"This initiative has really taken off – and it has significant potential moving forward."

XCAP Securities' finance director Mike Frame said: "As a UK-listed Investment bank we have the strength in depth to compete on a level playing field.

"However, we offer access to our stockbroking service at a lower minimum threshold than our multinational competitors in these regions. That's our unique selling point."

XCAP interview -

[dick grasso] 24/2/2011 10:49

Thanks purplebox, I have just had a proper look, was trying to read the RNS whilst on my way to the airport! Quite right you are, didn't see the Porta communications name in the header!

[purplebox] 24/2/2011 10:45

No - the RNS is a 'holdings' announcement in regard of shares held in Porta Communications PLC.

"The Company announces that it has received notification that XCAP Securities plc and its clients have a holding of 119, 205, 684 ordinary shares of 0.1peach which represents 3.19 per cent. of the issued capital of the Company."

One of XCAP's nominee clients has sold part of their holding in Porta Communications PLC.

It doesn't really amount to anything significant. There have been many similar announcements - 3 in January alone.

[dick grasso] 24/2/2011 10:01

Is this announcement today basically the company have purchased their own shares on behalf of a client? It's not a share buyback from XCAP! thanks.
