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 ?

It's going down to the wire ! Suspense is killing me ! Already showing a 50% loss. So, hope we get some contracts announced or I can see this going down to 2p-ish (imho) Which way is this going to go ?

Like AT77 above >>> "I'm negative, I'm afraid, however I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway" :)

Relax guys, this is yet another cheap, risky stock and you need a bit of pain to appreciate the gain, where else would the buzz come from. Bob Antell (big boss man) was at the Inside Market Data conference on Tuesday and sounded very up beat indeed. I also managed to speak to some of his colleagues who were realistic but optamistic. They know they are a young company and it won't be easy, it's early days. But the general consensus at IMD was that clients have had enough of being held to ransom by Reuters and Bloomberg and need alternatives. Installing direct feeds from suppliers is a popular option and if that route is chosen they need TDI. In short, don't panic and enjoy the ride, unless you've got your house on it, in which case pick less risky stocks

hi bloodhound!

Still hanging in here. Just haven't really had anything different to say on this one.
IMHO a lot of groundwork has been laid, particularly in the USA. Patience required on this one.

:( .... Yet more patience is req'd! Yet another set of crap results and only hoping that contracts will be completed 2nd half of the year.. It's pants and the stock price will dive ! Looks like the SP will go down to 2-3p(imho) It's pants!

However, there is only 3 months left of the 2nd half of the year. So, I'll stay in with what I've got and buy some more in the next month or so when SP has hit rock bottom. When the contracts do get announced the SP will rocket :)(imho,dyor,pyo)

Imho hopeful to sign, means they wont. 2 years cash, almost 18 months since last TDI contract, ProphetX as far as i can make out is dead. Not looking good. Best hope in 12 - 18 months is a takeover.Investors in placing must be livid.

Skyhigh 2-3p is my target before it gets taken over. Excellent product but company hasnt the size or finiancial backing to succeed.Any potential customer will take one look at the company and asks if its going to be around in a few years.

Bad news all round. Can't live on jam tomorrow, I need bread today.

to paraphrase

there is no bread
we are all awaiting cake

Will it have icing on it?

agree chaps! very poor showing! not worth selling at these levels!

trying hard to remain patient.

TSQ.

Can the header be changed for this thread? Something along the lines of 'What is the potential for this share - 2p going on 1p,' or perhaps 'we remain hopeful of signing new customers, but actually have no chance of ever getting any more?'

Yours disgruntled, written off my investment, must be more careful in future!!

PTH

PTH, I also bought in for med to long term in the hope of new contracts. This share & my other (ITH) are speculative and rely very much on news. Hence I only look in every few weeks rather than daily. On these kind of shares I have been staying in even when they show losses. Maybe in future I'll use stop losses but I think that would defeat the object of speculative shares. What do other think?

Dipys,

Volatility in this type of share certainly appears to create a problem with stop losses. I suppose you can go one of two routes; except that the SP may fluctuate widly and don't use stop losses, risking your hard earned capital when a share underperforms like CMS or use stop losses, accept a dent may be made in your capital, but still be able to move onto something else. I think it really comes down to personal choice and exactly how much you are willing to lose. I think the hardest aspect of investing is to be disciplined, set targets and acceptable losses then move on whatever the outcome.

Regards

PTH

The other side of the coin is of course, Feeling that after waiting so long the sp has finally turned the corner and the price will rise to the heady levels speculated about. BUT only then see the sp reverse back to a loss and realising that you should have taken a smaller profit and sold rather than hoping for more and more.

GN

How low is this going go ? We must be getting near to the point where it levels out and is then worth a punt ! I reckon about 3.0p-3.5p ? anyone any views ? apart from what a pile a pants this is turning out to be !)
Anyone, besides me, still holding ?
apart from what a pile a pants this is turning out to be )

Sorry, this is double pants !

Skyhigh

I am unfortunately still holding at a much higher level than the current SP, (too embarrassed to say exactly what level!). Probably level out at about 3p, but wouldn't be surprised to see it go lower. Desperately need some good news.

PTH

A jump today. Is there a TDI contract in the pipeline? One contract will see this double to 8p.

Also, a small rise yesterday on practically zero voume.

CMS WebView and ACTIV Financial agree joint marketing relationship
Published:
18 October 2004

Real-time data companies CMS WebView plc (CMS) and ACTIV Financial Systems, Inc. (ACTIV) have agreed a joint marketing relationship.

As part of the agreement CMS will create an interface for ACTIV's ActivFeed service, a composite exchange data feed, to be compatible with its own TDI(tm) system. TDI(tm) is a suite of software which processes, analyses, redistributes and stores vast amounts of real-time financial data.


Bob Antell, CEO of CMS, commented:


"While marketing TDI(tm) to the banking sector, we've seen a need for a quality consolidated equity feed that has minimum latency yet the full complement of data. Being able to offer TDI(tm) with an interface to the ActivFeed means there is a significant increase in the service we can provide to clients. The ease with which we have integrated the ActivFeed is an endorsement of the flexibility and format of the API and is also further evidence of the adaptability of TDI(tm). We look forward to further development of our business relationship with ACTIV."


Separately, CMS will market ActivFeed in parallel with its own TDI(tm) Feed, which carries a wide range of real-time data directly from many of the world's leading futures and options exchanges including the London Metals Exchange, New York Mercantile Exchange and the International Petroleum Exchange.


The Company has recently embarked on a sales and marketing initiative aimed at selling TDI(tm) to international banks. This is in addition to its existing market of international exchanges, including current customers the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. CMS has sales operations in New York City and Chicago, as well as in the City of London.


ACTIV Financial Systems, Inc. is a vendor of low latency exchange content and real-time data management technology. Its ActivFeed provides real-time and/or delayed quote information together with integrated historical data, news and company fundamentals.


Steve McNeany, President of ACTIV, said:


"We see this relationship as endorsing our position as the provider of a world class, high quality direct feed product. The availability of an ActivFeed handler on TDI(tm) offers both CMS and ACTIV joint opportunities to provide a direct feed capability to our customers. We see the TDI(tm) platform as being uniquely capable of handling the high message rates and data volumes coming out of the US equities and options exchanges being delivered by ActivFeed."
