everybody dreams of picking the right penny share for the top.i myself am about to start a new portfolio and would like some ideas from the punters on this forum.

Three from me ;

1.YOO,Yoomedia - Small growing company with no known competition.Targeting the interactive TV market and also government contracts.Great rise this last week but for a long term portfolio can see this rising further.

2.DTC,Digital Classic.Was privy to an email from a friend.This mail was sent from a contact within the company saying that they were working on something big which would give major intrinsic value to shareholders.

3.CRL,Creightons - Firstly get in quick Monday.Very few shares in circulation.Has hit the bottom and is going to rise rapidly.Aquisitions made will add value to the company and should produce good results end July.

Thats all from me ;-)

Good Luck

thanks moneyman will research over weekend

moneyman,

Are these OFEX stocks?

Any chance of people putting epics as well as company names please?
It makes it so much easier to find the companies concerned.

Good thread idea by the way!,

Andy.

gardyne

what do you class as a penny stock because i might have a few that will make you a million or a bankrupt.

superrod,anything under a pound.Started this thread to tap in to ideas of other investors.Already,happy with information from moneyman.if you can make me and other investors a million fire away.

There are a few miners/explorers worth looking at, though I can't see any of them making you a million! It's a risky sector where nothing can be taken for granted.

OXS - Oxus. Revitalised by dynamic new management who say they will be pouring gold at Amantaytau by the end of the year.

AVM - Avocet. Now reinvented as a gold play, and looking tidy for the longterm.

TMG - Thistle. South Africa, but interesting following the acquisition of the President Steyn mines.

Hidefield - HIF - is also rumoured to be on the brink of something else, other than their recently acquired earn-in in Brazil, but that's just gossip and may or may not be true.

More dodgy ones include Minmet (MNT) which is a reasonable buy at today's price if you can get past the history, and Cambridge (CMR) which is really in the doldrums and looking very cheap considering the value of their key asset.

All are well under the 1 mark, but most are not only high risk, but also suffer from horrendous spreads....so you need a good rise to get into profit.

TXN...the company all but admitted last week that an unnamed US biotech company was currently 'evaluating' it.It trades on a discount to its cash holding so the business is in 'for free'.

Friday's rise was the start,not the finish.

Wendy D

You seem quite keen on mining co's, how about HPD any thoughts on them?

i would say dana petroleum is as safe as you can get when coupled to the huge potential upside.has traded in a narrow range for a couple of years but their drilling has an enviable strike rate. i believe shares mag said a few more gushers could see the NAV around 200p. now trading sub 16p. DYOR epic DNX. drawback....its an irish stock with 1% stamp duty. no dividend and at present trading range no prospect of realistically trading. its one of those that just MIGHT make you rich.

ps i dont have any at present but am watching very closely.

I'm holding or watching mainly resource stocks at the moment, and the reason for that is quite simply that I think the market is overvalued, and due a fall, so asset back stocks may be safer in the short term.

Like Wendy above, I hold some Oxus, Avocet Mining, and Cambridge Mineral resources.

I'm also interested in some gas explorers and producers, and think that Regal Petroluem and Sterling Energy may be worth watching.

looks like its just you and me andy......maybe mam should be paying us.

Rod,

:-)

Actually there are more posts on financebb.com today than AM!

Sardinesplaice.com are also building nicely, and AM are struggling to rebuild after allowing their threads to be thrashed, and yet despite this there STILL isn't a proper registration policy!

andy
imo mam should have started with a zero tolerance policy. after all they must have started this site with just a little knowledge of what goes on elsewhere
:o))))

i find the main culprits are the paying passengers who use their premium status to bully and cajole so what chance do we have? revenue is revenue after all.
( not talking mam here )

Newageloafer -

Yes, I DO Like resource stocks. Have made some big mistakes, but on the upside of the learning curve these days, I think!

I like HPD quite a lot. Management have a superb record, and the HPD trio are well thought of, as is their head geo Marc Sale, who was project manager at Esquel. Chubut Province is a bit tricky right now, but Richard Sillitoe (for whom I have a great deal of respect) has pointed them elsewhere towards Chile, and a little geographical diversification will not come amiss given Meridian's problems in Chubut. That says nothing against the HPD projects in Chubut and elsewhere in Patagonia. Sillitoe has surveyed some of them and expressed them to be highly prospective.But the political climate there is dodgy until the Esquel problems get sorted out.

I was tempted when they floated on AIM - but everything that floats on AIM falls after the event, as did HPD. But a potentially good value stock as long as you are prepared for high risk and a long time-scale.

One share I really like actually went over 1 today so no longer qualifies as a penny share, (provided it doesn't fall back of course!)and that share is .......Regal Petroleum.

I suggest people have a look at this company, and I am happy to start a thread if there is any interest.

Fortune Oil (FTO) certainly qualifies as a penny stock(1.5p). At today's AGM they announced a Chinese deal to distribute gas to 4 cities. Near impossible to predict future shareholder value of this deal but will certainly boost turnover. Chinese keen to encourage inward investment to develope infrastructure so terms should be reasonably attractive. Laying pipelines in China should have none of the planning/conservationist hassles you get in the west so costs should be quite transparent.

Apart from that, FTO reassured that worst of SARS related costs in HK are be over. Profits should still be generally in line with last year. AGM report worth a read.

Price has been steady for quite a few days, with both buys and sells just inside 1.35/1.5p spread. Post AGM buying momentum just starting to build, but price as yet unchanged.

I'm happy to hold for the long term or sell at a quick profit, so feel free to ramp if you like.

AGM report might get some weekend press coverage, in fact today's larger buys just might be journos loading up.

M.

Superrod I am over on the premium side, here on moneyam Bullshare (Mike Boydell) is committed to ensuring all have a civilised atomosphere to post and exchange views, so I understand that what "goes on" elsewhere may not be tolerated here.

Having said that this thread is a prime example of what I think Mike would want, polite civilised people exchanging views from both a trading and investment viewpoint.

Maybe you all should pop over (no disrespect intended if I missed any of your posts) After all if you are serious about your money what difference does 5 per month make. There is moderatly heavy volume of posts, many of which are well informed.

Anyway apart from that my contribution to this thread in terms of penny shares is consider Cyprotex and Pursuit Dynamics. Cyprotex is a penny share pick of mine, moderatly high risk but worth a small punt, Pursuit Dynamics is a punt reccomended by another premium poster Gausie. DYOR of course

Paul,

I hold pursuit, and would recommend anyone on here look at their website, this really could be a winner, IMHO!

There is certainly some risk, as with all potential high growth shares, but PDX are certainly worth a modest punt, depending on your acceptance of risk of course.

paulismyname
thanks will consider...5 isnt much you are right but i once had a wife with that mentality. endless mail order catalogues where she bought loads of stuff....."its only 2/3/50p a month. no offence intended to your post.
rod

Atlantic Global (ATL) for me. Being vaunted as the next Gresham Computing. Has risen drastically since beginning of year. News expected out this week, and this share could rise rapidly. A real growth share.

Bizspace (BIZ) is another favourite, but one you have to hold and hold and hold. Not a get rich quick share unless you are privvy to pre-results info.
Has slipped back a touch to look cheap for a growth stock.

Tenon Group (TNO). Bob Morton has a large holding here. Usually places his money with great effect. They are cutting costs drastically and installing top management. Recovery stock. I'll hold for 18-24 mnths and expect a good profit.

Sorry guys, ATL isn't going to be a penny share much longer. +22.5% today :-)

Farmboy - I recently saw your post from this morning on todays traders thread & thoughts - wish I had looked earlier! Any chance of anymore like that?

I wished !

Only other "Pennies" I hold are :-

CAV - Chelsea Village, something going on there, but not sure what. Speculative
AGP - AIT Group, sure it is a good recovery stock, but management not the best. Recovery play and looks to have cleared the 30p hurdle for good.
ETL - EuroTunnel - a shot in the dark

Obviously - DYOR.

CAV - up 17% today so I see what you mean about something going on and infact this one has gone up nearly 50% in the last month ?????????

AGP - I have some of these purchased at an outrageous prices over 2 years ago, just before 'the shit hit the fan!'(equ. 250!) Too scared to buy back but should bite the bullet to help clear out the portfolio. I must admit the news looks more positive - but not sure if I am brave enough to take a chance.....

ETL - Got some of these 2 years ago, currently showing a 40% loss. Recent took the plunge a purchased a small amount more. I know one of the contractors on the new tunnel, which he's says it is proceeding well.

Don't have a problems with the reseach bit, but often it's just step one, which companies to do research on! I try to look round the BB's for suggestions, and have a couple of sectors and a core of companies that I keep an eye on, but try to add the odd one from time to time, sometimes removing one to keep it all fresh and interesting! Easier said than done, with limited time!

HAR Up 70% today and set for more.
IMD Profitable and huge growth potential.
SGD Likewise good results and agressive growth.
ECK Worth a punt as BT deal works through.

See S/Telgraph Money section on Sundays Edmund Jackson column RE: Penny Shares
Page 2 Which he goes in to certian shares which to buy long term Ie Dana Pet
NSB RETAIL AND CERTAIN OTHERS

Am long CAV from a couple of weeks ago after a whisper, South Africa is a clue.

Also long for a bit of fun CST from 0.07P! again after a whisper, dont touch these with a bargepole though.
d.

well done farmboy sparked off the thread with top tipping.andy,superrod,and little woman and others have done well to keep the thread open but todays the day when i have seen how well this board can do.lets have somemore.pity i went to bed last night and missed your tips

This is a quality penny share (as far as these things go!!!)

Take a look at Thus. Ft250 company but 19p odd as I type. DYOR of course

my old man used to always say" Keep you money in your sporan, and your hand on your penny", maybe he was appalled by penny shares, never understood really.

paulismyname
just tipped THUS on another thread. bad times look to be behind them.

EVS - Envesta - maybe not one for those that know Stephen Dean all too well!! Now he has gone, Seymour Pierce PDF buy note worth a look. Usual risks but supposedly making money and cleared debt from cashflow. Recently been diluted by preference share conversions, but this will mean long term saving on pref dividends. I have held and traded these for, on and off, for a couple of years. Question my sanity but if Seymour Pierce are right it could be quite solid in the end. Basically a boring telecoms that is doing what it says! Stephen Dean managed to stage some corporate gaffs as you would expect, but he is now gone!!!!

Hold OXS and AVM also. OXS showing me better than expected returns to date! AVM results in July, to be in or out, well I'm staying in!!! Also Game Group (GMG) AGM in couple of days - this is a qualifier as a penny stock at under 1 (60p), oh, and also SEG (SCi Ent) must qualify too!

Buy note link:

http://www.seymourpierce.co.uk/pdf/Envesta_June2003.pdf


Other pennies held are the dogs and generally suspended - oops!!!

ECK are due for a surge

ps
oops 8.40 a.m. up 4+%

super-odd - 01 Jul'03 - 20:20 - 31 of 33 (sequestered)

Well farmboy, now we know why your tip for CAV (now up more than 100% from a month ago!) was going up - Ken Bates sold his entire holding to a Russain Millionaire. Whats the betting that he eventually takes over the company!

That was an excellent share.

I fancy corus,thus,pursuit dynamics and osmetech.Will also take a position in new issue african diamonds.

I still like HIF, 4.25 to buy. The floor I guess is 3p mid bcause that is what Canaccord institutional clients paid recently. The co. needs to do placings to fulfil its growth ambitions and IMO this must be on an increasing price scale. Not a zoom to the sky share, not all at once, but if held will reward manyfold over time.

Hell I have got 500 quid on HIF, I wouldn't venture more mind!

Re diamonds River Diamonds (OFEX stock) has actually found some quite nice sparkly ones I believe

OMH, and look Michael Walters even agrees with me !



http://www.michaelwalters.com/comments.phtml



and this was written without taking into account the news of the Crewe closure and the move to America, as explained in "OMH Lifting off?" thread, posts 42 and 43

Project Telecom may be worth a look although strictly speaking its not a true penny share. However you need to look back at the last profit warning and make a decision if its troubles are behind it or not.

RHPS Guide/tip sheet arrived today, their choices usually move up the day after publication
TCY- Telecity buy up to 8p
TRK Torotrak 48p
CPU Computerland 178p----not a penny share any more

blame/praise RHPS not I for results eitherway.

Re Yoomedia (Epic YOO) Nice bit of news which may not have been seen;

http://www.ukonlineforbusiness.gov.uk/cms/template/news-details.jsp?id=389002

paulismyname
not a rhps subscriber by any chance?

eh?????????

puzzling!

not if you subscribe to rhps

Try NOP!

AGM coming up, decent rise of late on good news, bad times over...worth a look!

Computerland tipped in the Sunday Business today too, must be worth a look Mon.

Farmboy,

Congratulations on an excellent tip with your Chelsea Village post!

DGO, Dragon Oil, seems to be stirring.

tAlk of possible deals with Russian oil companies, and the big one would be an opportunity to sell the massive gas reserve that it is currently having to flare off!

That would make an awful lot of difference to the figures, but it is an "if" at the moment, not a "when".

Yes Andy Dragon Oil DGO looks mighty tempting. Full listing. Indebted to its major shareholder Emirates National Oil Company I think




Sterling Energy, SEY, Sun Tel tip, natural gas in Gulf of Mexico, started by some ex BP bods. AIM listed.



------------------------------
There seems to be plenty of excitement in oil & gas generally, particularly former Soviet Union. Anyone got any idea how far this bus is going & when to get off? Silly question but I thought I'd ask

cpu,tcy,trk-+9%,+13% and 14% repect,- good old RHPS

now up
8%
17%
and 18%

rhps-QED

AGP - rising nicely, today +19%. Bought in @ 15p so will lock in some profit before the close.

TNO - Very quiet at present, but hanging on till interims in September.

ATL - Waiting patiently for more news and next move upwards.

TRK UP 22.4% Great day for rhps-WHEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Sequestor,

And MW too!

Shame it;s a couple of years too late!

Still I have some TRK on a free carry from previous trading, so today was excellent.

Patrick,

I hold both DGO and SEY, so today was a good day.

I like gas stocks at the moment due to my expectation that natural gas prices will rise in the autumn, and these stocks will enjoy a good run when they do.

I'm also in Regal Petroleum for the same reason.

I have read that there will be a natural gas shortage in the USA this winter, and some areas of Europe, so that will certainly help.

pleased your`e up Andy, i`m off to pour a glass of malt and watch TV
g`luck

rhps is a much better tip sheet since tw left. bruce aint scared of chucking out the crap.

how about fortune oil big buys from the market men.

MMG looks good with a 15% rise today and has now risen from 5p to 22p in a month and theres plenty more to come , a ten bagger if there is such a thing..dyor.

I'm glad I got DGO not FTO!

Sold HIF @4.31 (for 50% profit after costs), note opportunistic looking placing at 3.25p. More in it eventually possibly but months to wait till drilling results from Cata Preta (unless there is another deal announced). Also gold is a bit wobbly

I believe I indicated these two shares a few posts ago so an update.

Thus - 22p odd now, I dip in and out of these on ranges but am beginning to become tempted to buy some real shares, put them away and forget them for a year or so. One of the best performing shares on the UK market this year to date. AGM yesterday, Bill Allen (CEO) has a reputation of being a doom and gloom merchant but the company is doing very well indeed, not only are they on track to be cash flow positive within a few months there is even talk of a dividend policy within 12m. Up rated by brokers again who indicate at current levels it may still be 20% undervalued.

Cyprotex - A radical punt as this company had a "unusual" beginning. But they have shed the former problem directors and have developed a "virtual human" on computer to assess drugs and its retention in the human body. This is said to be unique and if it takes off there is very big money in it. Was launched at 28p odd, fell to 2p and after the product launch went back up to 14p before settling in a range 9/12p. A current modest "side trade" of mine effectively in real un-margined equity.

The thing I like about so called penny shares is you only need to get it right once and once only to make very big money. For example I identified Lastminute.com as a good purchase at 20p in November/December 2001. At 1.80 a share now...

One very important final point...if you get it right and your so called penny share starts to grow substantially DO NOT be tempted to take too early profits, the whole point about a penny share is you are looking for a 10/20 bagger (10 to 20 time your investment) That pays off the losers and give you your overall profitable return

THUS: "not only are they on track to be cash flow positive within a few months"

Er how long has this company been going for?

Point taken about multibaggers Paul. I think this applies to turnaround stocks, there have been lots lately, FIB and PIC are random examples [which in honesty I considered but rejected].

The mining shares are a bit different. Most are designed to be penny shares in the first place. One or two fold (Navan) or do accordion imitations (Minmet). However these are quite spottable by peeps of moderate intelligence/experience, but no special knowledge. Most small mining shares stagger on somehow, at least they have done over the last couple of years. The usual pattern is a spike when they do some deal, get good drilling results or otherwise attract attention. Then they fall back again.

Some indeed establish trends and give 2x or 3x returns over a year or two (AVM, POG, CER). Only one in recent years has gone from a few pennies to over a pound (Brancote). So, it seems to me, a 40% or so target in a timeframe of six months, plus or minus, is not unreasonable, and if you get it sooner, you jolly well take it! The buying opportunities outnumber the selling opportunities, in short.

Tips section:

HPD Exploration (HPD), about 10p to buy, well planned and financed gold explorer.

Hereward Ventures (HEV), 5p-ish; Gold Fields has a stake bought at 7p and is financing exploration activities in Bulgaria

Flintstone (FLT), see own thread, sort of non-tech tech incubator, hit a low sub 10p -- VERY speculative but if sellers gone could move pretty well. If it wanted to promote itself to the market, I think it could, but managing for now with private placements.

EDIT: Re HIF, I know I was a bit enthusiastic higher up, but a sudden need for cash arose. My usual rule is to run winners, sell losers. However deeper reflection suggested with HIF, the Cata Preta deal is not necessarily a poor one, but they were pushed to get SOME deal and it was probably the one that was available. Anyway I hope I covered myself by mentioning the distribution at 3p. I still think it is likely to revisit that level, more so after the further placing.

2nd EDIT: Friday a.m. -- sold DGO @ 23.44, 25% profit in 3 days will do me. Traders taking profits and mainly small punter money coming in, I thought it would correct a bit

well done PW, you were right about DGO instead of FTO but I am still hoping for a turn on mine.

Thanks Gardyne. I don't feel that clever to pass up another 2p on DGO available by the close. However the chart shows a "flag half way up the mast" which it fulfilled and then quite a bit more 10p -- 16p -- 26p. The 100k trades in there look like traders playing games with mms, wouldn't want to be in it on Monday.

Good luck with FTO.

I think that SGD (sectorguard)might be worth a look.They are involved with manned security sysytems and their recent results were encouraging.At 3p a share the upside could be significant.It may be worth waiting for the AGM statement but that of itself might give rise to an upgrade.I do not think you can go far wrong by studying the potential for growth in the security area.

MY PENNY SHARE TIPS - BUT BE QUICK

Dana petroleum plc (DNX) - the potential is obviously there. A must.

Celsis international (CEL) - supply deal with glaxoSmithKline in the bag
and more to come.

Thus group (THUS) - good long term punt.

Medysis (MDY) - Forget the history this share is going to go some, more results
due out Aug 03.


All well priced between 14p & 27p. Money in the bank!

cmr - cambridge minerals are due for a very big three weeks.

firstly a week monday should see an update on current drilling programme and they have already announced amazing grades higher than 10g/t and these will be confirmed. It should confirm a whole new blind orebody extension

Secondly they have flagged up that they are about to do a cash flow JV which will transform the company - the agm is aug 7th and my bet is they will conincide this annoucenment with that.

Thirdly last week saw several large buys - mainly in the afternoon - and it is my impression they ahve interest from canada.

well worth a look

corus group(cs)-further gains after rumours of refinancing green light?

DTC news expected according to posters on ADVFN

well 13% on cmr is a good start

PDX is still moving

In HPD (the AIM listed gold explorer with interests in New Zealand, Canada, Chile and Argentina) I detect "definite signs of accumulation" -- the old ones are the best

SLP and GMC

DYOR

MMG is a small bio tech company based in Cambridge and valued at 8 mills..shares magazine rates them a buy ..

Re my earlier posts about Thus and Cyprotex.

Am now out of Thus at 23.5p having traded it up from 12p odd taking profits along the way. May consider re-entry long if it hits 26p on very good volume, however am wary of pull backs as this has come a long way up from 5p.

Am still in Cyprotex unmargined, am prepared to hold on.

Unlikely to be taking any new positions now until September on penny shares. Best of luck all

Now is the time to get in at ground floor level....WIGMORE PLC, this company has huge potential and very profitable. Check out their web site www.wigmoregroup.com They have many contracts in the pipeline and any win will increase the share price. They have just obtained an contract for 2.5m with SCOTTISH & NEWCASTLE to build a Premier Lodge at Heathrow 133 bedrooms, Rest,and bar facilities plus all ground work. This is a gem of a company and now is the time to by. DYOR and check out their web site.

The HPD chart does not look like much, sagged from 14p flotation price and found a floor around 10p. However this gold exploration co., a spin-off from Brancote, has various projects on the go in New Zealand, Canada, Argentina and Chile.



http://www.hpdexploration.com

Here is a crazy idea I have. I would only write it on this site which no-one reads anyway. From a recent Mineweb article about Meridian Gold, which bought Brancote for its Esquel project in Chubut province in southern Argentina, but project currently totally stalled due to local opposition:

http://m1.mny.co.za/MGGold.nsf/Current/4225685F0043D1B285256D6C007F8DF6?OpenDocument

"Rumours have begun to surface that Meridian may be considering selling a stake to a partner. An analyst who asked not to be named said an empowerment type partner, i.e. an Argentine investor, who could front on social issues to allow Meridian to operate the mine, might be a good idea.

Company spokesman Wayne Hubert said the company had no interest in selling off Esquel either in whole or in part."

Meanwhile, HPD has a joint venture with the local Miguens-Bemberg family, called Patagonia Gold. Anyway they would be in the frame wouldn't they? Just a thought.

Another potential partner would be Anglogold which has worked with Meridian in North America, and operates a successful mine Cerro Vangardia in a neighbouring province.

PAtrick,

Some of us Do read this BB!

Nice idea by the way, you never know, although I doubt it personally.

Tip of the week would be Retail decisions...!

I mentioned them at 4p...but there was little concern at time...now 11p and moving gracefully...target would be to see them at 14-15p from here on, plently of serious buying going on and there is hint of a huge US contract win...

dyor...as always...

jules

Oxford Biomedica - would be my tip currently at 25ish pence but with a target of 59p they have a way to go

Good to see some of the old names back on the thread.I started this thread to get ideas on penny shares and gather information from posters.From my point of view it has been a great success and I hope it has helped others. I have just gone for the GB GROUP(GBG)who have been working on web site authentication system with BT.Anyway I suppose most people have new tips so fire away !

AHT definately worth a look tomorrow.Some good disposal news along with some big buying today.

DTC something definately going on.Highly speculative ,but looking at the fundamentals,it has steadily been rising.If rumors true of a big contract, this one is surely going places. If brave,dabble and wait!

cyh is worth looking at, fast growing, undervalued telematic company. Got amreview company of the week last week, Thecinvest also mentions them, dyor,

NMS - new media spk worth a look...plenty of cash in their bank..35m..!

do your research and u may be surprised..

jules

Tip for August,.......Spe.
A dirt cheap stock did buy at 9p right now 19p.Just read the news from July.
Maz.zack

FFA has doubled in the past 2 months (up 50% in past two weeks). It might pause at this level, but possibly still worth a look.



Also OCN,TTH(very iffy this one),SPS(more deals in the pipeline this year following the Siemens one),PTS,CEL,ITL,JCR (to hold onto if it breaks past 18p),MUS(if it gets out the right side the bed when it next wakes up),HVE(to hold onto),ITH,MFW(to hold onto unless imminent results say otherwise!). And SOG depending on results next Monday (not Tuesday as listed).




I have holdings in all the above.

Juzzle

It's a puzzle juzzle,but you did well the last month.

Z.

Just one tip.. MMG...the biotech incubator with a portfolio of biotech bio-babies each with the potential to explode upwards..and guess what they are valued at zero on MMG's books..market cap is 10 mills.

At 8.5p quite a few people taking a renewed interest in Scipher (SIP) this week. Don't know if it'll come to anything. Needs to get up past 12.5p to really look good. The market was swamped with extra stock recently, but that seems to be absorbed now? Maybe.

I've only just noticed the charts don't carry the epic code. That's annoying.

Nice ITL news from Russia (chart in post 86)
----- click here -----

What are peoples thoughts on IMA.

Currently holding steady at it's lowest level being around .5p having dropped dramatically over the last couple of years from upwards of 50p.

From another site rumour had it that a major player was joining their management team jumping ship from one of the market leaders in this sector which makes me wonder if he knows something that we don't yet.

Beyond that I can't say but seems a cheap share to take a punt on even if it regained a 10th of it's former performance we'd still be looking at a 10 bagger.

Thoughts or more definite info/ news please.

Thanks in advance

LOQ is one to look at. Its market cap is less than 1 million and its intelectual property is worth more than that. Rumours of a big new order are slipping out.

Ive bought at 5.75 and it has shot up so mms are short.

Downside is balance sheet is weak.

SOG delivering (chart in message 86)

check out wigmore wgt a company with huge potential at just 2.5p

i had a look at IMA and bought in following a quick review (and deciding to take a modest punt) following Gantenbrink - thanx!! up around 25% so far..

..the question is when to sell!!

So.Whats happening at Debt Free Direct? Just look at the price movement over the last couple of weeks. Rumor says its making money after only a years operation. The potential in its line of business must be ENORMOUS.

hilldee, what is the epic?

hilldee,try dfd.

Share for this week winchester(WIE) director buying big profits ?

CSW upbeat results.Good outlook for the future

http://www.sharecast.com/cgi-bin/sharecast/security.cgi?&csi=51050

Regen Therapeutic RGT should see an increase in Sept where if I am guessing right the interim results should be accompanied by some sort of statement about the ongoing prospects for Collostinin. Some I am sure will grab the quick buck then but there are a lot of people in for the real gains which hopefully should come next year.

Puzzling that I topped up this morning with 198,720 shares at 3.10 and yet it is showing on the site as a sell. I don't think the sell price has yet reached 3.10 so I suspect mine and a couple of others have been wrongly entered so the buys should look far more positive than they do at present.

Fingers crossed for the long term and I hope we don't see too much shorting in September to upset the applecart.

Gantenbrink

No ones mentioned NMT??? 130% in the last two weeks and still rising today.....

ITU is my fave. Read the posts on it then check into the shares mag blue sky portfolio........it is on their list of stocks they think could go up ten times. I didnt buy it for that reason though.....had it before then when IC mag did an article saying it could achieve explosive growth.
Have alook.

Check out NES. They have risen every single day for the last 9 nine days in a row and are due to announce results on 2nd September. It look as if there could be good news on the horizon - and if there isn't then why's everyone buying them everyday??? Get in now before announcement day but DYOR of course - if I knew how, I would have pasted a graph for you all to look at.

Another tip for medium term investment is ANW - check it out. Hardly ever goes down - either stays put or goes up. Has been averaging nearly 1% a day since I bought them on 2nd July. It is a fund investing in Thailand and if anyone knows how well things are going over there economically at the moment then you'll understand why they keep going up!! So if your fed up of volatile shares then keep this one in your portfolio just ticking over in the background. You'll be suprised how quickly the weeks go by and all those 1%'s have added up to something quite decent!!
Also those nice ANW people frequently release net asset value figures so that you can make sure the fund value is going up OK - a bit like someone giving you regular confirmation that your share value is inline with company performance!

PS Also ANW is at position 13 of the higest climbing shares of the last ten days - I read it somewhere on this site....

My penny stocks of this month are
Retail Decisions,
NSB Retail,
Harrier Group,
These three are expecting good results end of the month...You have been warned...if they surge from here..


New Media Spark, and Redstone Telecom are others I generally folow and now Hold...

AIT is a larger share now, but bought at 13p...now it's 79p to buy...!
Read my thread and you may be surprised, it only just started as far as the market is concerned...for sure I expect it to go much further...it did get to 450 quid at one point...!

Anymore I 'll post later...

jules.

COR - ahead of results (with Asda promoting Noddy)
SPS - results imminent (plus rumoured Motorola deal and more)
MIC - newly floated with big prospects and good connections
JKX - one to hold all year and beyond
NOP - ditto

Added two yesterday.SYM-rumours of deals with tesco,walmart and bt.See thread on bb.RDN-on recovery hopes.

MLS - This was the item that triggered the current breakout last week:

LONDON (AFX) - Medical Solutions PLC, the cancer and pathology services
group, said The Doctors Laboratory, the leading provider of private cervical
screening in the UK, has stated that they are adopting Medical Solutions'
SurePath for their LBC screening.
The SurePath system will be supplied by Medical Solutions in the UK under
licence from TriPath Imaging Inc.
Medical Solutions chief executive Charles Green said the group now awaits
the NICE (the National Institute of Clinical Excellence) report issuing their
final guidance to the NHS, after their preliminary report recommended the use of
liquid based cytology within the NHS. This report is expected in September.

See impressive bb comment here since then and on various BBs.

Interims due mid-Sept.

Newmark (NWT) might be about to take off. Price has been flat since April but results are due out soon and MM just bought a chunck ahead of weekend press. Directors were buying back in the spring. Bit of cash on balance sheet. Not done any more research but did punt a few earlier. With Mkt cap of only 3.8m, could sure fly on good news or a penny guide tip, etc.

Mole.

Anybody been watching WMS? Results out beginning of Sept. Recent Contract wins and the price has been steadily rising over the past couple of months.

Here is a great tip, ASOS (or AsSeenOnScreen). Huge previous increases in turnover and company is expected to announce a small profit this year. Shares are currently at a low of 4.88p and i can see them rising substantially in the coming months. STRONG BUY!!!!

CFP could be an interesting recovery play as more companies look to list on the stock exchange.Some activity and weird trades today.

My tips are : YOO, BED, IQE, RGT and OXB. Most of these have had a mention I notice on this thread already, and all have had a good run in the last few mths. The most exciting co. with bags of potential has got to be OXB though with lots of positive news flow and wildly undervalued in my opinion - it's my favourite biotech and every portfolio should have some exposure to that sector. Obviously I have an interest but take a look at the news, and their website DYOR and it should be rewarded.

for the next week or two, my moneys on Retail decisions...

DYOR as always..

CANCER RESEARCH UK SUPPORTS ADDITIONAL TROVAX PHASE II TRIAL IN COLORECTAL
CANCER


Oxford, UK: 28 August 2003 - Oxford BioMedica announced today that Cancer
Research UK has agreed to conduct and sponsor an open label Phase II trial with
Oxford BioMedica's leading cancer immunotherapy product, TroVax(R), in
colorectal cancer patients who have liver metastases. The decision by Cancer
Research UK follows extensive review of the successful Phase I/II data of TroVax
in colorectal cancer patients. This study is in addition to the two ongoing
Phase II trials with TroVax in colorectal cancer alongside chemotherapy, and the
planned trials in renal and breast cancer.


The patient population in the Cancer Research UK Phase II trial will comprise
twenty Stage IV colorectal cancer patients who are to undergo surgery for
resectable liver metastases. Patients will receive injections of TroVax followed
by surgery approximately two weeks later. Biopsies of the tumour will be taken
at surgery and analysed for TroVax stimulated immune activity. Further
vaccinations will be given after surgery. Patients' management will then
continue as standard, usually including adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients will be
followed after the final vaccination to assess immune responses and toxicity and
then monitored over the longer term for clinical benefit.



Commenting on the announcement, Oxford BioMedica's chief executive, Professor
Alan Kingsman said, 'Cancer Research UK is one of the world's leading cancer
research organisations and is committed to the development of better cancer
treatments for patients. Their involvement in this project provides further
validation of Oxford BioMedica's advanced cancer immunotherapeutic'

Notes to editors



1. Oxford BioMedica



Based in Oxford, UK, Oxford BioMedica is a biopharmaceutical company
specialising in the development of novel gene-based therapeutics for the
treatment of cancer, neuro-degenerative disease and other disorders with major
unmet clinical needs. The Company was established in 1995 as a spin out from
Oxford University, and is listed on the London Stock Exchange.



In addition to its technical research skill-base, Oxford BioMedica has in-house
clinical, regulatory and manufacturing know-how. The development pipeline
includes two novel anti-cancer products in clinical trials and a gene-based
treatment for Parkinson's disease, which is in late preclinical studies. The
Company is underpinned by an extensive preclinical and research portfolio and
over 70 patent families, about quarter of which are issued.



TroVax(R), which is Oxford BioMedica's lead cancer immunotherapy product, is in
Phase II trials for colorectal cancer (see below). MetXia(R) is Oxford
BioMedica's lead gene-based cancer therapeutic. The product is based on a highly
engineered retrovirus gene delivery system expressing a specific human
cytochrome P450 gene. MetXia converts the tumour into a 'drug factory', enabling
increased local production of the anti-tumour, cytotoxic derivative of the
pro-drug cyclophosphamide. MetXia is potentially useful in the treatment of all
solid tumours and their metastases, particularly those where cyclophosphamide is
commonly used. MetXia is being investigated in a Phase I/II trial in breast
cancer, and regulatory submissions are under review for trials in pancreactic
cancer.



Oxford BioMedica has a wholly-owned subsidiary in San Diego, USA. Oxford
BioMedica has corporate collaborations with Wyeth, Intervet, Aliga
Pharmaceuticals, Amersham, Arius Research and Viragen.

2. TroVax



TroVax is Oxford BioMedica's leading cancer immunotherapy product. It is
designed specifically to stimulate an anti-cancer immune response and has
potential application in most solid tumour types. TroVax targets the tumour
antigen 5T4, which is broadly distributed throughout a wide range of solid
tumours. The presence of 5T4 is correlated with poor prognosis. The product
consists of a poxvirus (MVA) gene transfer system, which delivers the gene for
5T4 and stimulates a patient's body to produce an anti-5T4 immune response. This
immune response destroys tumour cells carrying the 5T4 protein.



Two Phase I/II trials with TroVax have been completed in the UK in late-stage
colorectal cancer patients. Following these successful Phase I/II trials, TroVax
has entered two Phase II trials in Stage IV colorectal cancer patients receiving
5FU plus either oxaliplatin or irinotecan. The product is also on target to
enter further trials in colorectal, renal and breast cancer. The renal and
breast cancer trials are to be conducted in the United States under an
Investigational New Drug (IND) application. Data from the first TroVax Phase II
trial is expected to be available by the end of 2003, in readiness for Phase III
trials in colorectal cancer.



3. Cancer Research UK



Cancer Research UK began operating on 4 February 2002 as a result of the merger
between The Cancer Research Campaign and Imperial Cancer Research Fund. Its
vision is to conquer cancer through world-class research. It is the largest
volunteer-supported cancer research organisation in the world with a dedicated
team of 3,000 scientists and an annual scientific spend of more than 176
million. Its objectives, amongst others, are to: carry out world class research
into cancer; develop better treatments for cancer patients; improve the quality
of life of cancer patients; reduce the number of people getting cancer; improve
training and support of cancer research workers; and provide authoritative
information and advocacy on cancer.

The company news service from the London Stock Exchange

My penny stocks are Retail Decisions RTD, Provalis PRO, Stadium SDM, Eidios EID and ECK. All bought on good fundamentals and all posting results in the next week or so.
I have tracked their performance so far and total gains in the last fornight are as follows:
RTD 13.71% (bought recently)
PRO 36.73%
SDM 15.60%
EID 8.35%
ECK 11.70%

Of course- make sure you do your own research

I agree RTD for the long term, but expecting some profit taking - very short term. Some major sells today.

My penny share tip is the Security firm 'Sectorguard' (SGD). In the last interim results (released 26 June 2003), Sectorguard announced a 52% increase in turnover to 4,528,045 and a 219% rise in pre-tax profits to 211,437. There was also substantial increases in current and fixed assets and with 667,787 in the bank, this company will be looking to make further acquistions to add to the three made in the previous few months. Despite this, the share price hasn't risen to what it should have and I feel this share is very undervalued. STRONG BUY!!!!!

(SYM) Symphony Plastics has enormous potential, is about to break into America and has already had some good contracts scores this quarter. very little competition.....and it GREEN!
RTD has my bet as well.

G

Hi to all. Firstly thank you to everyone that helped me with my questions ("New guy looking for general help -- not share tips").

My tip is a company called Aminex (AEX). I have kept an eye on it over the last few months and after the speculative buy in the Sunday papers, and the latest from www.oilbarrel (see link below) I have just bought in. The share should be around the 40p mark ( now 24.5p) and if they hit oil or gas with their rig (bought at a 2.5 million dollar discount) this share will fly in my opinion. STRONG BUY!!!

browser link http://www.oilbarrel.com/news/article.html?body=1&key=oilbarrel_en:1062032400&feed=oilbarrel

NSB,YOO,SPS,RTD,PRM,RGT,SYM,TFC,MMD (after dip to 10P), CPO (soon: buy at 17.5p)

I said you should have followed my tip (Sectorguard (see message posted on 28th August) which (trying not to sound too cocky) has risen nearly 20% already today, but still more to come. STILL A STRONG BUY!!!

"GRE" - DYOR but I've just bought at 1.1 when the price seems to be standing at 1.25! There is a big spread but this hit a height of around 2.6 dropped back and seems to be climbing again. Perhaps I've been too clever but when quoted offer price is 1.5 I couldn't resist at 1.1.

Gant

Poss I struck lucky with GRE because I just tried to buy some more and price was now 1.44. Still odd about earlier because I bought 60k at 1.10. Looking now there is a sell shown for that amount but I definitely bought as I didn't own any before it did make me double check my contract note though. Perhaps I have the Ample share trade website to thank - but worth keeping a watchful eye.

Still I think the best buy for Sept is RGT but I'm biassed because I've already got in strongly.

It is worth continuing to keep an eye on Cyprotex (crx) as the new Chairman/CEO assumes overal responsability. I accept this is a high risk penny share but the upside is substantial if the companies "virtual human" drug testing device finds favour with the major Pharma companies. Currently 14.5/15.5p

I already hold RGT for the long term but my short term bet is SEY..Sterling Energy at 12p.. and could double within 5/6 months.

I'm new here, just got fed up with Ample's BB's, what a pleasant surprise, a well mannered BB with no harsh words and bitching!!

For what it's worth I suggest the following:

GFM - Griffin Mining - Definitely worth a serious look, but be quick, its latest rises have not stopped yet. I got in at 4p (now 18.5p), a tidy profit but not tempted to sell yet. I predict 25% rise in next month and 100% in next year.

PRO - Provalis - Looked good a couple of years ago but fell hard after new issue a while back, but is now showing good recovery and has plenty of steam yet. I have been in and out of this one, but am now in for the medium to long term.

NMT - NMT - This was a punt of mine about six months or so ago, bought at 1p and prepared to lose the lot or make a mint. In the long term I think it is a lucky punt, but ignore the profit takers on this one, they can make you want to jump ship with what you've got, but hold fast, for 2.8p it is well worth a punt.

AVM - Avocet Mining - A good steady investment, rising slowly but surely.

SDM - Stadium - Only just in on this one, but have done extensive research and am confident for the future.

Finally, one not to touch if you have any sense is IAL - Inter Alliance - down from approx 3 to 3p in the last 18 months or so!! A long time before any recovery in this one.

Thanks to all for excellent reading, hope mine is of help.

Jimbo

Mitzy,

Re Stirling Energy (SEY) I agree, they have a strong team running the shop, and I'm reasonably confident that US gas prices will increase with the onset of winter.

There was some talk of a takeover or two, but noyhing official has been announced so far.

I hold, and am going to top up.

SqnLdrJimbo

RE AVM, Avocet Mining.

i have great hopes for Avocet, and their AGM is on Tuesday, so we may glean more then.

Avocet are amongst the cheapest miners on the LSE, as the table below, now produced on several BB's, testifies.

A table was then produced which ranked the gold producers that are most widely traded in London in terms of US$ market capitalization per ounce of gold produced. The result was as follows:


1. Peter Hambro ......$3,943
2. Bema Gold ........ $3,726
3. Celtic ........... $3,514
4. Highland Gold .....$2,118
5. Barrick ...........$1,644
6. Newmont ...........$1,505
7. Placer Dome ...... $1,345
8. Gold Fields .......$1,251
9. Kinross .......... $1,192
10. Anglogold ........$1,168
11. Harmony ...........$755
12. Durban ............$516
13. Thistle ...........$442
14. Avocet ............$321

Average: $1,674/ounce of production

SEY had another good day today despite a couple of protected sells and could easily go much higher tomorrow now thet are out of the way..keep buying is my advice.

Hi everyone, Homer 2 here,

My tip for what it's worth is "Black Rock Oil" (BLR)www.blackrockpetroleum.com , go see their website very interesting company with lots of potential and cheap, so fill your boots.

Second tip would be Sterling Energy SEY, mainly because it was tipped in Shares magazine some months ago and mainly because the company has a sound management team, worth its weight in gold.

That's all for now folks!

Homer2

SYM-tipped this on this thread 20th August since made 50% profit but with interims to come and speculation of further contract news with the results, I fancy this one to go further.

SMK -Saltmark Not one I'd come across before but someone mentioned it to me and it does seem to have had a major improvement in profits this year but DYOR. I had difficulty trying to buy them which is a good sign and at around .6/.65 for a decent number it seems a worthwhile punt.

I first mentioned MMG back in July when they were trading at 22p, and today they have risen 20% to 28p and still have the potential to be a ten bagger ifthere is such a thing..expect some positive news re their cancer treatment in the next couple of days..

mitzy - there sure are such things as tenbaggers - GHT is now ten times the price it was in June last year :-)

(a 25-bagger from its low the year before)

Juzzle.. wow thats pretty impressive-its just that its difficult to comprehend that a share can increase in value by 10 times..!

GXN - GX Networks - I'm surprised not to see this one mentioned more - take a look at it. A real chance of some rapid increase in value as the market wakes up to what the company is up to - and talk of bank/buyer interest in the near future. Started to move more on Friday - watch for more next week.

FF

mexican-like this one as well,in first thing tomorrow.

Although I would not recommend to hold this one - TWT has just got interesting if you are looking for a very quick profit!

MMG up 20% again and plenty of buys pushing ths share price to 50p in the short term and 100p by Xmass...

ond,rtd,gxn,xtl,nmt,ial,cpl,eck,cyx,pas,asc,xpg

dyor!!

I would recommend taking a gander at GLD I have started a thread on this little company, and I would encourage some good ole fashioned research into it. I have posted a few things but more analysis would be nice.

you may all realise i am a well known tad fan and alleged ramper or this stock, but monday should see a few fireworks.

MMG up another 12% to 40p mid price.....worth keeping on eye on in the next few weeks.

Corus:
I lost 50,000 FIFTY THOUSAND euros PROFIT in 10 days because of an S and P.
report-it was so bad and so logically thought out I decided to exit
immediately.However, they were wrong and I suffered.
I had bought the shares at 8 p and sold at 14 so made a very nice profit.
I,DAILY,spent 6 hours analysing price shifts for every 10 mins over every
trading day AND researched almost every possible source.I took a huge risk
as the company-at 5p-was thought by many city people to go into liquidation.

I had also bought R-R at a time the prices were cheap but also exited -and lost
20,000 euros profit because of nearly ALL city experts saying the future was
very bleak because they could not fund their pension fund.

I will now decide everything myself and take ALL opinions from
EVERY source as effectively worthless.Basically,I now do all my research by
trying to find out everything about a specific company.

Wiggins -wgg.l-is one share I bought that I think has a great future.However,
I NEVER will try to influence ANYONE about shares so I suggest investors
find out EVERYTHING and they might then think it would be VERY FOOLISH to buy.
However,one often quoted writer -Edmond Jackson-has NEVER,to MY knowledge
mentioned their deal with an Orlando airport in Florida.ALL EXPERTS-including
him-appear to me to have NEVER known about Wiggins U.S.A.interests/plans.

If advisors/commentators /Experts are so good why are they writing newspaper
articles/Books/etc instead of having millions of pounds/euros?

Best wishes to everyone
