Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

Big Al... I spoke to Man today about opening an account
on the CFD platform, and they said they offlay all their
net trades... i.e whatever net position they have they
cover it in the market... so there must be a lot of
cfd trades out there....unless yesterday was a big dump
(so to speak).. I guess we will find out if Man make another
announcemenbt about their holdings (they must announce when
their position goes through a percentage point, up or down).
and they have to report on T1... apparently

guys
bought yesterday for 99.38 and sold today for 107.25.....like the pratt i am i thought i was calling the bottom. my guardian angel made me buy 5mins before the news. the big problem i see here is that its stuffed with traders and why not? play them at their own game i say. aimho

will be back in at 102 or less ( if it ever happens )

What's happening with this stock-been away

bradley - I can confirm that I see all my GNI CFD trades go through on the trades blotter since I started with them about 2 1/2 years ago.

I suppose the news of their holdings is probably the cumulative amount held by traders, but can't be sure on this. Might ask my account handler next time we speak.

Blimey, Jumpin, and I've got none!

;-)

That was my trade that did it ;)

Also worth checking out Micap (MIC), a recently quoted small cap in the high tec micro-encapsulation sector with huge growth potential. This is a stock I like the look of a lot. Big correction in the last few days and the subject of an analyst upgrade. Earnings growth to 2005 will be 115% and forecast year 2 is 900%. They have an R&D expertise in the encapsulation of single cell organisms, in particular yeast which is a much sought after technology in flavours, agrochemicals and pharmacueticals - especially given growing evidence being demonstrated via in vitro studies showing efficacy of yeast based encapsulation in phase 1 clinincal trials (recently licenced 10 drugs to Skyepharma). GSK, Astrazeneca and Fertin are known to be interested in a licencing deal and feasibility studies underway - as revenues transfer into more predictable royalty based revenue streams then we should see the stock begin to take off. A real niche player, well managed and on a road to transformation as they move quickly into the cash generation phase.

Jumpin - LOL!!!!

joehargan1 - MIC was a company I looked at a couple of months ago. I might revisit my research as there's always more than one "BPRG". ;-)))

Al , make sure you do your research - discussed this technology with Bully months ago , technology at least 15 years old , so don't expect anything anytime soon imho

Morning all... cheers Big Al, my suspicions confirmed...

Bit boring in bprg this am ....

maddoctor - cheers for that

bradley - think BPRG had enough fun this week! ;-))

Big Al.... BPRG bit me in the bum this week, but with
some fancy footwork (and fiance scaring risks)
things have not turned out too bad.

Interesting situation this morning though, bought again at
106 as a punt on a run up to 110... my evil plan appears to
be on the right track... at 110 though lots of dumpers IMHO,
so I will have to cut short my fag breaks... ;-)

Having real trouble with a cfd system, Mans system cant
get past my firewall (whatever that means) so having to
get techs in!!

bradley007-could you enlighten us tiddlers ? :D

emailpat... IMHO From watching the stock over the last week, winterfloods
were driving the price down from the 120s. Probably in anticipation of the unwinding of lots of CFD positions, which again in IMHO, was why we
saw 14M volume the other day. At 94 the general press were saying this could
trigger a takeover, er... B***ocks... short traders buying back stock
and traders loading up again.

On the way down Wins took on a lot of shares at 110... cant imagine
they were then selling them in the 90s so I reckon they would like to
get the price there quick... problem is, seems to be resistance at 108
bid. If it can hold at 108 for a while then I believe we will see
it called 110 - 112... with Wins keeping the offer at that until
they have got some cash back!

After that we need an announcement... which was rumoured and ignored
this week.. apparently CEO is in Florida at a BPRG subsidiary doing
a deal with a far east company..

Again this really is just my theory, I have just got
engaged so my judgement may not be what it was previously... ;-)

Thanks for your comments bradley, this thread is much better than ample where I hold my shares, much more informative and less personalised views...

bradley007-have been following but not to sure as it gets a bit complex with all the posts and good/bad news etc and the looney house over the road. :))

Excellent summary and probably very near the mark.

This was one of the first stocks I bought and the best performing todate without a doubt,despite the roller coaster ride.My other investments since (March)have lost me money, bprg have provided the entertainment,stress,anxiety and kept me involved in this high powered game and am trying to build up to...dare I say it! DAY TRADING UGHHHHHHH.When I get a few courses,books,PC'S,and a s/b a/c sorted,I will have a go.The posters have been terrific and very helpful and speaking from my own experience which is very limited and not being computer literate,the only suggestion and maybe naive...but what the hell! is a starters package eg.ta,computer skills,systems,general knowledge,books,and most importantly a Trading/Investing style and I know,you will say it's all here.True... but not in one place but fragmented.Which leaves posters at the mercy of the WOLVES.
I for one would have been happy to pay xxx's for a simple starter package.Not saying I haven't learned alot,just would have saved time and research,again I know,time and research are good learning tools.I think you all know what I mean.;-) btw-DYOR,NAG,DIY,MFI,IKEA etc.

Good point emailpat... info is key. I have 4 screens, using sharescope,
Moneyam trades and level 2, my trade screen, and I keep a screen open on the bulleting boards,when I find a CFD system that actually works I am going to add that, mainly so I have the option to short, which my order system doesnt currently allow.

Have looked at other forums and prefer this one as the posters seem to be more
grown up!

Good luck all..

BTW, we are stil hitting the 107 - 108, could all those selling please stop ;-)

bradley007: Have you taken a look at Blue Index?

John no... but I will now...any good?
