Welcome aboard Markp! Aft'noon momentum, bloodhound, SueH, happy to watch et al!
Sorry SueHelen! Didn't mean to cause offence, but you have to agree you did push this one hard. To your credit you also provided a lot of very detailed company research for this thread, which makes me all the more surprised that you no longer seem to have the same faith in the company. IMHO this is a great buy from here SueH and your detailed fundamental analysis would be very welcome on this board.
For me nothing has changed for this companys' prospects in the past 6 months, except that they are significantly better.

momentum,
Drew out my own basic little chart on graph paper(yeah nerd, I know!) and this stock looks like it might be breaking out to the upside from the recent down channel from March.
If it closes higher today, I view it as broken out to the upside, IMHO.
Any views?

Any sustained higher volume and buying towards 9.5pence would be very bullish in my view.
The 10pence share placing level represents fair value for me at this time, pending further sales announcements.
Announcements could also take us by surprise at any time, creating a significant new demand in the stock.

Imho if SP moves up to 9.5p over the next week then we could see a major move upwards. 20 day ema has turned up, 200 and 50 day are still down trending slightly. Will probably cross but with a 3 day delay signal, shouldnt give to much concern. expect the 50 to turn back up and with a rising 20, charts starting to look bullish.

Death of the Mainframe? New survey finds PC servers growing in popularity among banks
The dominance of mainframe computers* in the banking industry is over. Increasingly, PC servers are taking over key banking data management functions such as direct information feed collection and capture of reference data. This is the view of 80% of financial data managers** surveyed recently by CMS WebView plc (CMS) a leading provider of software systems for real-time financial data distribution and management. In fact, 61% of market data managers at banks such as Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs report that their banks have already moved from mainframes to PC servers in certain key areas.
According to the survey, the move towards PC servers is a fairly recent trend in investment banking, driven partly by cost but also by PC servers offering scalability, familiarity and ease of use. More than half of those surveyed (54%) say it's only in the last three years that PC servers have started to replace mainframes in certain areas.
It's not only cost and ease of use that is helping PC servers, 74% of data managers said that their flexibility is the most compelling reason for replacing mainframes. A massive 89% said PC servers provide enough flexibility to enable them to react to changing patterns in user demand. And 87% can envisage a function such as data-warehousing running on a PC server solution.
TThere are some concerns over the rise of the PC server. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (65%) expressed concern about the over- dominance of Microsoft's Windows-based systems. Thirty-three percent worry about the lack of competition to Windows in the marketplace, with associated concerns about cost and lack of quality assurance voiced. And more worryingly, 73% believe an over-reliance on Windows- based systems could leave their bank vulnerable to security breaches. Because of this, 86% would consider using an alternative operating system to Windows. The majority of these (65%) would use Linux, which is also seen as cost-effective.
Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS, commented:
"From the results of the CMS survey it's clear that the flexibility and reliability offered by PC servers makes them increasingly attractive for banks over the traditional mainstay of the mainframe. Modern PC servers can handle comfortably the vast amounts of data in real time that global banks must process, store and analyse 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The results of this survey correlate strongly with our day-to-day experience of financial institutions increasingly being prepared to consider PC Server based products, such as CMS's TDI(tm) system, as viable alternative solutions for the management of mission critical data."

Marked down today, but above news confirms positive outlook.
Is this another bear roar before the bulls finally win? Who knows?
IMHO, the dips give great buying opportunities. CMS is obviously vigourously targeting banks.
Good news, that market is huge!

The day-to-day experience bit sounds good. That market is massive and TDI could make considerable inroads into it.

The news flow from CMS is unusually sparse , this leads me to believe there could be a blockbuster annoucement due to be released soon.The management i believe are tying up several contracts ie TDI and PHROPHET X . My opinion is we as investors could be pleasantly suprised at the progress BOB ANTELL and his experienced group are making regards s24c
