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 ?

This is in Yo Yo mode.

strange that there is nothing in the major papers about yesterday's rise..not even in any "risers" lists.... maybe this is a false alarm/alert, a classic pump and dump exercise.. without any rns release soon, this could go all the way down again...

Too true.

The volumes have been quite high, maybe there broker is recommending cwv to its clients for some reason?

CWV shares suspended and are in reverse takeover talks. what does this mean?

it could be good. sp comes back higher.. increased mkt cap/turnover etc..
or it can be bad if a dilution of shares comes along/more shares issued to fund aquisition/expension/development plans...
most times a reverse t/o should be good and sp comes back stronger but...anything can happen,, I've seen it before that a reversal can be bad for the sp..lets hope it's not too long before we all find out.

A reverse takeover means they are buying something much bigger than themselves. The current business is therefore of little importance and a change of management is likely (probably the directors of the company reversing in will take over the reins of CWV).

How is the new business to be financed? Probably a large issue of new shares by rights issue? Possibly.

Will the share come back higher? Only if the market thinks the new business has more promise than the existing one. As the market thinks the existing one stinks, the chances of a higher share price per shares in issue after the change is likely I would think.

I disagree with a dump and pump, not what happen in the last 6 mo. More a classic example for insider dealing the large trade volume coming in not without a reason. Someone, not like you or me, was already in the know the week before and quietly accumulate stock. One would not dare to buy yesterday morning even when SP has only risen 10 or 20%, fear that money will be locked-in for too long, rememeber that few days ago the spread was over 30%, sane trader without inside information would hesitate to buy.

Things are brewing again finally, Not being personal but who's still holding & how long, Myself 227,000 bought 152k in nov/dec03 & 75k feb05. I plan to hold long term 5+ depending on boards coments over next 12mth.

good luck all holder's


suehelen, what is your view on this stock and current events, regards littlejon.

Littlejon, I like you bought a boat load when they were yo-yo ing at 14.25p. and when they went to less than 2p I wrote them off as a long term wait and see share. Good luck

if you bought a boat load you could be millionar soon. 2p was too cheap, even 10p for a company supplying an advanced technology to CME & CBOT. For some reasons the management doesn't let us know why CBOT does so well, but CWV ends up with nearly nothing apart talking from a strong pipe of hopeful contracts. With whom, what kind and how far they are in the discussion ... no idea why they never release any of it.

It doesn fit into any logic that CBOT has released so many times good news, so many branchs & banks practically have used the data feed over CBOT supply for "free" to CWV term, CBOT dealed contracts keeps broken record's level without any problem regarding the TDI data feed, and CWV not even sends out one complaint or warning that sort of usage could be a breach of contract ... that alone is millions of pounds worth if come for a US court. Think if I lend you a good Mercedes with a certain discount, a promotion, only for personal usage and u make your living in doing taxi transport for high profile celebs. Nothing better would come in my mind than gathering enough evidence for taking you soon to court.

Unless there is one reason: a special clause guarantee for CBOT to do full field trial, to be the only owner on the US market, allowing it to weaken other rivals, then after certain time .... WHAT follows? Maybe it is too far fetched, maybe it is too crazy idea!? But it really doesn't make sense otherwise. CWV could have bad and incompetent manager, but they couldn't be that stupid not to complain.

I'm in the Bankone club.....was expecting a "hope it recovers by pension day" job....I've just been converted to the feng shui investment approach and will paint my front door red in hope of a good post suspension chart....

you never know they might (not expecting though)announce a TDI contract whilst suspended, which would be rather nice ??

ntkntk - you seem to be speculating about big contracts for their existing business when the suspension has occurred because of a significant acquisition that would be classified as a reverse takeover (per the RNS). This says to me that the existing business has effectively been written off as a bad job and that CMS Webview is little more than a shell company being used for a new business to reverse into.

Basically your boatloads of shares now depend on the new business being a worthy investment. I wouldn't rely on TDI or any of that. I think the market had already given its view on that business by marking the shares down to 1p.

Its not that easy to write off their current business. They have to support their current contracts. What would happen with CBOT?

willhy, yes of course, but it doesn't have to be done by CMS Webview plc. That part of the business (valued at 1p by the market before the leak) might be taken private or sold off, probably for very little. I am only speculating but it seems likely to me.

Bhunt1910. Have you something to put in front of the "?" ?

Just back from hols so looking for news on this.

Does anyone have any idea of timetable - or best guess as to when this will resume trading - I can only find statements about the share being suspended ?

Thanks
