I bought shares in this company at 4.5p in September 2003. I see they are rising. Can anyone tell me please the growth potential for this company as they have just been awarded several new contracts ?

Investtech Update:

Buy Candidate (Medium term) - Dec 10, 2003
Has risen 812% since the bottom on 13 Jun 2002 at 1.50. Is within a rising trend. Continued positive development within the trend channel is indicated. The average difference between the highest and lowest price of the month is 41%. The risk is therefore high.

Background to and reasons for the Placing
The Directors believe that the Company should be able to achieve significant growth if appropriate
resources are made available to increase the marketing and support of the products which the
Company has developed, capitalising on key sales already achieved.
It was reported in CMSs interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2003 that the Companys
TDI (Transactional Data Interface) product had become an increasingly significant contributor to
turnover with notable successes in sales to major exchanges, including the two largest futures and
options exchanges in the USA, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade.
The Directors intend to use the proceeds of the Placing primarily to fund an expanded sales drive to
market the TDI product, including in the USA where the Company intends to set up a sales and
support office.
The Company is also seeking to achieve increased income in the traditional quote vendor market
sector via its wholesale DDF (Digital Data Feed) product and new end user ProphetX product. The
proceeds of the Placing will also allow increased marketing efforts in respect of these products.

Best Wishes,

Sue.

Thanks Sue.

Another positive factor which may be of interest to longer term players here is that with increasing US Dollar weakness (currently GBP buys around USD 1.73), the upcoming fundraising is happening at just the right time.

The Dollar is sliding on the still weak US economic picture. This means the fundraising and subsequent US investment couldnt be happening at a better time.
The 2.5million quid will buy a few more Dollars than would have been the case when the rate was around 1.45 some time ago, in fact about 20% more.

As the US economy begins to grow in future years and create more jobs, the Dollar will strengthen again.

This is a foreign currency aid to this company. Weak dollar now enables fundraising to go further, stronger dollar in future years buys more earnings in sterling back home in future years.

Stronger US markets should also lead to increasing dollar revenues. It is obvious that America will play a huge role in this company's future.

Good evening fellow CWV watchers....I sense a few bears on this thread turning more bullish today !!

Afternoon all!

Its always difficult to value growth potential when you're working from a loss making position.

The initial share mag tip was exceptionally bullish, and the share price raced way ahead of itself. It quadrupled in 4 weeks.

Private investors bought into the huge profits forecasted. I cautioned against ramping the stock to levels that would not provide new investors with a margin of safety to buy in.

Confidence of some will have been dented if they bought in at higher levels. This is to the detriment of all of us who hold the stock.

Over the medium to longer term, I am indeed bullish on the stock from these levels. The share mag target of 20 pence provides a whopping 50% upside from these levels. A bullish outlook in anybodys language.

I am building a long term holding.

Yes well sue, smiler,......put some words to the pictures and tell us what you think!

50 day moving average provides support line over coming growth phase.

IMHO investors will buy more stock on run into announcement on 22dec. This period of consolidation and lower volatility could prove to be an excellent buying opprtunity.

A TDI contract would be nice! These are big earners, and could significantly effect bottom line.

15.25pence was the line in the sand. I am very happy stake building beneath this price.

Hello Sue, I am waiting to pick up some of these as I think you are right they have blue sky prospects. price is slipping back and I am saving up! Enjoy all the comments here, keep it up.

CWV - 13.75p .. its rise of last month from around 4-21p was spectacular to say the least, but it was a case of too far, too fast, so it now needs a period of 'consolidation' to build up its strength again.

Its 'consolidation range' is 12-16p, so not a bad range, offering a nice profit if bought at the bottom, and sold at the top. Also a buy upon a breakout of 16p, and a sell should it close below 12p, cos it will probably head off down to 10p again, and it can then be bought cheaper !!

Its significant that it has decided to consolidate around the 15p level, where it started out in 2000, and would suggest that it has no intentions of returning to its basement ranges, and is hoping to continue upwards once it has the strength.

Play Update:

CMS WEBVIEW (CWV) 14.75p BUY

Tipped on 6 November at 4.75p, CMS rocketed to 20p before profit-taking. Next week we expect it to unveil a 2.5 million fundraising at no less than 12p per share. The cash will fund CMSOs assault on the US. After the issue, the shares may become less volatile as the market value should top 10 million. Target price 20p.

Sue.

The shares have already become less volatile, and in my view are a good buy at these levels.

Theres a lot of good reading on the companys website www.cms.co.uk

"Business Review
The Company continued to provide products and services in the areas of real-time data supply,data management and systems development. The TDI product has become an increasingly significant contributor to turnover with more successes in sales to major exchanges, including the two largest futures and options exchanges in the USA, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange(CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). Sales of TDI to such organisations typically
consist of a core software license, client specific software development and project management together with subsequent ongoing support and/or licensing agreements.

Outlook
For the remainder of the year, the Company is looking to exploit its successes with TDI and negotiations continue with other exchanges who are potential users. Sales of TDI are large ticket items and consequently have a significant impact on the Companys income and financial performance. The timing of such new sales will therefore have an impact on the end of year results. The Company is seeking also to achieve increased income in the traditional quote vendor market sector via its wholesale DDF product and the new end user ProphetX product, marketed by CMS in the UK as a result of its exclusive agreement with DTN.
These interim results represent a very encouraging trend in the Companys performance achieved in difficult market conditions."

That was a snippet from the june 03 interim report.

Note in particular, that funds raised will be used to push sales of the big ticket TDI product in the USA.

These are worth in excess of 500,000 each and as said above they have a significant impact on bottom line.

Losses for the half year were just over 100,000, reduced 66% and turnover grew over 50%.

If any of the "negotiations with other exchanges" lead to sales of the TDI product, then profit for the full year to may 04 could be impressive.

Look for evidence of institutional investor confidence, and director confidence in any announcement on 22dec.

Shares Mag looked for profits of 5-10million in 2006.
Always dangerous to reveal targets to others (ridicule can be a downer!) but here goes:

Profits to may04 ~400,000, p/e 50, price target 20pence
profits to may05 ~1,500,000, p/e 45,price target 76pence
profits to may06 ~3,500,000, p/e 40,price target 1.59

Now from these levels thats a 10 bagger in 2&half years. Lot of ifs, buts and water under bridges to go, but my predictions are still WELL UNDER the shares mag figures.

3.5mio is only 7 TDI contracts! And 3 years and 2.5mio quid in the bank to get them!

Thanks thestatusquo.

I am still vey bullish on these for the next few weeks and the longer term picture.

The recent placing will have secured additional funds this will be used on marketing the TDI product in the US. The accelerated marketing will result in more client wins for the TDI product.

The future is very good for CMS, good products, competitive, exposure to the lucrative US markets and above all quality management.

A Summary of CMS Webview:

Years of Research and Development, Global partners, Quality management, small market cap, exposure to global markets, good cash position and backing from quality tip sheets.

All the ingredients needed for the company to become an international player and a very successful company that have been described above CMS do have.

Best Wishes,

Sue.
