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 ?

Need to break 14.75 -15p to give any bullish signal.However on 2,500 buys this isnt going to happen until the next installment of news. And it needs to be a TDI contract to have a longer term impact on the price.

Think you're right on that momentum, although still a strong buy & hold IMO.

CMS Webview, provider of software systems for real-time financial data, has 'gone live' with its system on the Chicago Board of Trade exchange. The company has also raised 2.5m from institutional investors through the new corporate broking Arm of Corporate Synergy.

Has anyone read the FT article on 'Electronic Trading helps boost CBOT' Page 26

I hope this article relates to CMS electronic platform. If it is then no one has noticed it as CMS price still in the same position. If not let me know.

It stated that last Friday experienced a record trading in Dow Jones Stock index futures as the impact of its new electronic trading system started to to become apparent..... it goes onto saying ''Bernard Dan CBOT chief executive said: setting two record in the same week is testimony to the superior funtionality of the CBOT's electronic trading platform. Our market users are recognising and benefiting from the system's speed, funtionality and flexiblity''

If this relates to CMS electronic devise then it is such good review as it incits other similar heavy weight e.g. Eurex to look into CMS offering.

trading on all market platforms is increasing. I think the future is very bright for this company.

We are in another consolidation phase, news will move price higher. Results and company report after the fundraising will be good.

A quiet time for CWV.

But hey, a huge number of users have this stock as their stock pick for 2004! Its probably second biggest tipped.

At this price its gotta be a buy on a 12 month view. Lets face it 20% per annum is a crackin return in these markets.

CWV should beat that & the market comfortably over the year.

If cwv continues with this present trend, it will break the bottom of the uptrend line.Implying a retest of 12p and then 10p.With volume as it is at present i can see the mms marking this one down.We need to trend up over the next few weeks and break 14.75p , however with out any news this is very unlikley to happen.

First a recap of the relevance of Cbot to CMS. Not sure if the second article indicates that there may be some strong competition in the market for trading platforms which may dent the potential for CMS?


launch of new TDI market data feed
12 January 2004
CMS WebView plc (CMS), a leading provider of software systems for real-time financial data distribution and management, and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) confirm that the Exchanges new market data feed has successfully "gone live". The new market data feed provides the CBOTs customers with access to real-time information about the financial products traded, such as prices and volumes. CMS announced that it had won the contract to develop the CBOTs market data feed in April.

The market data feed is powered by CMSs proprietary suite of software, TDI, which collects, processes and prepares for distribution, real-time market information from all data sources within the Exchange. This includes the new LIFFE CONNECT electronic trading platform.

Chicago derivatives chiefs gather for London launch
By Martin Waller



SENIOR executives of the Chicago derivatives market will gather in London this week for the formal launch of its new electronic trading platform, seen as the best chance of fighting off a threat from Eurex, the German derivatives exchange.
The new system, introduced by the Chicago Board of Trade (CBoT), is powered by Connect, a trading platform developed and marketed by Liffe, the London financial futures market. In addition, London is seen as a vital market for the new service because 40 per cent of trade on the CBoT is out of Europe, most of it from London.



At the launch will be Charles Carey, CBoT chairman, and Bernie Dan, chief executive, and representatives of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, rival to the CBoT. The two bodies have set up a joint clearing service for the new platform. The platform began trading in November, but most business started on January 2.

The launch event is a last attempt to influence key clients before the proposed February 1 start of the Eurex US electronic trading platform. Eurex is majority-owned by the Deutsche Bse, which has promised to undercut both the Chicago exchanges on price and poach their business.

The Chicago exchanges have near-iconic status in the US Midwest because of their close links to its agriculture. They were founded in the 19th century to let farmers trade in agricultural commodities.

Eurex, set up five years ago, has already invaded another exchanges territory and stolen local business by offering a cheaper electronic service. In the late 1990s it took much of the market in German Treasury bonds from Liffe.

The Germans expect to offer their own electronic service next month, a deadline that they insist will be met even though they do not yet have regulatory clearance. A Eurex spokesman said that it continues to work on the basis of a February 1 launch, subject to approval by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Some Chicagoans doubt that the target will be met. Eurex has, privately, riled the CFTC by seeming to see clearance as a certainty.

However, Eurex last week put another building block in place by buying the BrokerTec derivatives trading platform, in effect bringing 17 banks and trading firms into its venture.

As with all smallcap stocks they are very news driven, they simply don't get the coverage.

I am very comfortable with CWV's ambitious growth plans & their continuing growth in client base & turnover.

Don't worry, this stock will soon come on to larger investors radar screens & when it does it's potential will be evident. We are moving out of a cost-cutting economic phase into one of sustained economic growth & investment.

Price bouncing positively upwards off 50day moving average.

Sharp move to 14pence late in the day.

Neutral (Short term) - Jan 21, 2004
Has risen 415% since the bottom on 21 Oct 2003 at 2.75. Is within an approximate horizontal trend, which indicates further development in the same direction. The stock is testing the resistance at p 14.30. This should give a negative reaction, but an upward breakthough of p 14.30 means a positive signal. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 7.70 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

Neutral (Medium term) - Jan 21, 2004
Has risen 844% since the bottom on 29 Jul 2002 at 1.50. Has broken through the floor of a rising trend channel. This indicates a slower rising rate at first, or the start of a more horizontal development. The stock has support at p 1.55. Poor liquidity (traded 100% of the days, mean 7.70 mill per day) weakens the analysis.

SueHelen, ramping again or are you just showing your masculine side again. The MACHO part of you 'BULLING' this share again.

Don't start personal attack again BANKONE, SueHelen's posts are factual and contain valuable information for any investor on this bulletin board.

What is your view on this share. If you can't contribute something +ve or -ve on CMS Webview then I suggest you join in some other thread or another bulletin board like advfn where your BULLY Boy tactics and pea brain personality would suit you better.

Bankone, we had enough of your stupid and useless comments, you are jsut a waste of space here. JUST F>>> OFF!

agrees with previous two posts.....i expect this share to still rise slowly even with no newsflow, any positive news should make it rise quicker.

More volume today, trades are generally delayed by two hours so most are coming through from 10 o'clock. I think the MM's are up to something and there could be more news around the corner. Very excited about further developments within this during the next couple of months. TDI seems to be impressing. A couple more TDI contracts and this will go through the roof.

Results later this year will confirm growth trend which was very strong even before the fundraising.

This is definitely an investors stock now as opposed to a day traders one.

Not a bad thing in my book. IMHO this stock is a STRONG BUY up to 20 pence.

There is a rumour in the city that the Amsterdam exchange is going
to be taking the TDI system on board. The info was posted on the
ADVFN board by MM Office cleaner who many feel is involved with
the Market Makers. He usually posts negative when there is a
shake out happening! We will have to wait and see if there is anything
in the rumour!
Many expect a further update from the company tommorow as there has been
a lot happening with the CBOT this week in London as you can all see from
post 1212. The roll out is going full steam ahead in Europe, and as the UK
is the centre of things, the profile of CMS in close ties with CBOT is high.
