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 ?

Agree BH,

I'm continuing to top up at lower levels, and am confident in doing so. Lack of news has pushed this companys'story well down the bulletin boards.

Positive results this month or next will drive private investor interest and push it right back up to the top of the columns again.

We might even see SueHelen back on board.

I do miss her!

Released today on CMS Website

18 March 2004
A leading provider of systems and software for real-time data distribution and management CMS WebView plc (CMS) is to open its first sales office in Chicago, USA. The new CMS sales office, located in the financial district, will be staffed initially by senior representatives from the London office. CMS will also recruit experienced US staff with local market experience and contacts.

Late last year, CMS raised 2.5 million to fund its international expansion and accelerate the sales and marketing of its leading software product TDI. TDI, which is already in use at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), is an advanced suite of modular software that collects, processes and distributes real-time financial information. The CBOT and CME use TDI to enable the delivery of real-time exchange data to customers including news and data vendors and financial institutions such as banks and brokers.

Opening a sales office in Chicago the home of the USAs financial futures industry enables CMS to be close to two of its major international exchange customers. It will also act as the base for a focused sales effort that can target other trading and investment organisations for TDI and other products.

Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS, said:

"The USA represents a major market for our TDI product and it was essential we had a sales office in Chicago. This will enable us to target efficiently other exchanges and many other financial institutions of sufficient size that would clearly benefit from using our TDI software system.
"We are, however, being very strict on outlays and are keeping a close eye on costs in our move into the USA. This said, our preliminary market intelligence gives us every confidence that there will be a market that is receptive and eager to hear about the benefits of our unique software platform."

All,

Response below is from CMS Investor Relations. I was confused over the release dates in May.

"Thank you for your e-mail.

It is our intention to announce our annual results during April, rather than May, this year.

Thank you for your interest in the company.

Regards
Stephen Hill"

Good news that results are due in April.

Must admit price action very strange on cms. Either the 2 200k deals was a cross or a sell from a week ago( LOL ). But as soon as those trades went through the bid was dropped.

The fact that the company would appear to be bringing results forward in time, may indicate a frustration on the companys' part, that the market hasn't exactly supported the recent very positive developments.

IMHO,

too many penny share stocks are chasing too little private investor cash at the moment. This board is perhaps testimony to that. I have read most posts, but I find it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, & I suspect many of their prices are sustained by hope rather than expectation.

A company such as CMS Webview, which I believe many perceive to have huge potential, attracted massive private investor interest over a 2 month period only to be brought back to earth by profit taking and apathy.

This stock a "play of the week," was subsequently given a target price of 20pence. This is one of the best posted threads online, and it would be fantastic to see some of the old names appear again on this board, buying back in to the story, ahead of April results.

Could a renewed private shareholder buzz, pull this share out of its recent slumber?

Just over a week left of March. Will the results be out this side of Easter? I
expect buying interest to start this week. This share is being overlooked, there
was a mention in The Mail Saturday for Easy Screen winning a contract from Fortis (Cms sell Prophetx to Fortis). And a tip for KTS in todays Telegraph.
Cms has a much better outlook than both of these companies and deserves to be
rated higher.

BH

You could be right bloodhound. These price levels are way below the 15.25pence benchmark the company used for its share issue.

With venture capitalists in at 10pence, one would expect downside to be very limited and upside to be potentially huge.

Market Cap as of 27.02.04 9.4 million

Seems a bit cheap, given unfolding sales growth.

Ill be piling in after EPO results on 31st (hopefully with a nice profit to reinvest!) Hope they stay at this level cos ill be buying large amounts 100k

CMS WEBVIEW (CWV)



look at this!!! Rarely seeing in bestchart this combination without a good price rise shortly after: 9 buy recommendations, 12 bullish indicators from 14 ... and result reveals this month.
Stock has been trading in a range 11p to 13p. Could move very quick.

CMS WebView opens first USA sales office in Chicago

CMS to exhibit at London technology trade show on 20 May 2004. "Dealing with Technology"

Topped up my holding this morning ahead of results this month. This stock has been consolidating its position for some time now and price seems to be base building for next move.

A lot of contracts for ProphetX have been secured since last trading statement and European market rights have been achieved.

A sales team has been established in Chicago to further exploit TDI selling opportunities. The future looks very positive.

Coporate Synergy may produce a research note after results, which would begin a wider coverage of this stock.

TSQ.

IMHO this consolidation period of sideways movement has built a platform for the stock to move higher from on further news.

Each announcement of new contracts has been accompanied by a price move of in the region of 1.25pence.

I expect renewed interest in the stock once a date for results has been announced.

TSQ.

thestatusquo - had a look at their website after you posted the info on the Millwall thread(thanks for that), hope this investment proves to be as fruitful as the Millwall one, just bought in at 11.69p, when are they set to announce their results?

Tokyo - results should be in May, but they are bringing them forward to sometime in April - date is not known.

thanks jue - bringing them forward, Is this a good sign that they have nothing to hide & that they will be very positive?

Tokyo,

This stock was tipped in Shares Mag back around October/November. The tip was very bullish, predicting strong growth in sales and profits over the next 3 years.

3 year profit forecasts were for between 5-10million. The current market cap of the company is only 9million. Put simply, even at the low end of forecasts ie. 5million profit in 3 years, a p/e of ONLY 10, would equate to a market cap of 50million; some 5 times where we are now.

The tip was greeted by a frenzy of private investor buying and it rose to around 18pence. Profit taking has allowed the price to drift.

The company bolstered its balance sheet with 2.5million raised in a heavily oversubscribed fundraising, and is using this money to establish a sales team for its market trading software products in Chicago. The fundraising was at 10pence.

As such, and IMO, this provides a base for this company/stock to progress higher.

In results this month, I'm looking for significantly increased turnover, from continuing clients plus revenue from new ProphetX clients of which there are at least 15.

I'm also looking for information on how the fundraising cash is being used to grow markets for the bigger revenue TDI software(500,000 a contract) in USA and Europe.

In Decemeber, Shares Mag updated its target price to 20pence. Further press coverage post results will be very helpful, as would a more detailed research note from company broker, Corporate Synergy plc.
