Solid gains recently it took a bit of time but well worth it.

squidd - 09 Jul 2005 08:59 - 12 of 14

PpP: Came in to find the good news about the prospective take-over, which you hinted at in May. Sadly though, in spite of your excellent heading, you seem to be the sole beneficiary, but perhaps there are other silent watchers aboard. I couln't really understand what they were at - it seems to be a 21st C. edition of CAD/Critical Path Analysis, so hadn't bought.
Meanwhile, fortunately there are Alternative Prospects Hereabouts and I am aiming to add to APH if any dips occur.

PapalPower - 09 Jul 2005 12:31 - 13 of 14

squidd it was some good gains and I will take profits here as I am not so sure about their recent purchase of PLM. I have put the Hardman report on Alliance on the APH thread and will be putting one more link on there today which was the recent presentation about APH to GCI.

PapalPower - 18 Aug 2005 13:49 - 14 of 14

squidd ICN went well and I have added a new one to watch now Ki-Bi (Epic KIB) which should rebound well, priced dropped due to general lack of interest, but they just raised 10 million at the placing, were profitable in Q4 2004 and are looking for sales of 6 million year end 2005.

Market cap is now below cash and they have issued a statement in July saying they no know reason why the price has fallen.
