Would be interesting to see what other posters think will make it big during 2005. A small explanation of why would be very helpfull aswell.

Ive given mine Deal group Media DGM, go on lets see what yours is?.

cheers Gf.

I'm with Andy on PDX, groundbreaking technology.

OMH the potential of this one is hugh especially with the massive increase in sexually trans infections, more and more faster diagnosis are needed why wait 10days for results when OMH can give you them in minutes

EZJ... like the management's ability to take tough decisions - less emotional than RYA - and think the fall in the share price back in May was overdone. MA chart is looking interesting.Reckon this one could bounce back in 2005.

Two posts on this thread have made mention of companies in the VoIP markets which I have been taking due diligence in researching into and following the rapid growth developments.

One that maybe of interest to fellow investors is Pipex as they have recently announced the introduction of VoIP services to their large and small businesses and is also to be made available to their private retail customers early in 2005 of which now total to 400,000 and rising.

Another company that maybe of interest is TWR Tower Plc. Although there has recently been a thisismoney.com article and multi BB poster Andy deramping this stock regarding an FSA warning of the high pressure 'Boiler room' salesmen tactics of Parker Rowe this ought to be viewed as tripe as this has actually got very little to do with the company itself apart from the fact it has caused some inexperienced investors to be spooked to sell and the SP to fall. However, the board of TWR is taking the company's growth in the direction of VoIP and is worth some DYOR as TWR is now heavily involved in the company Maskina who in turn has acquired Transcom Communications. Both Maskina & Transcom are VoIP service providers. Transcom have been experiencing consistent 50% pa growth in turnover since 1998 and with this company being acquired by Maskina their end of year accounts is expected to show a turnover of approx $38million. TWR has an 'option' to acquire 100% of Maskina that will constitute a reverse takeover under AIM rules if excersized by July 2005 when the option expires.

Interestingly, moneyplus has picked Envesta Telecom Plc as his choice and this is a company that has past links with Stephen Dean who has previously headed EVS and other companies and reverse merger/takeovers such as CRB - Cater Barnard, New Opportuninties Investment Trust, ART - Artisan, LUP - Lupus Capital, TCH - Techcreation and is currently head of GFF - Griffin Plc who manages TWR.

For 2005, have a look at SIG (Epic SHI) maker of roof insulation. With new "green" enviromental legislation coming in next year (2005) SIG is fully up to speed in providing approved products for the building trade across Europe. Been in since September and have seen rise of 10% a month every month. Nothing dramatic, but steady rise. 10% every month compounded gives much more than doubling in a year. A cold winter, high fuel costs, and new regs, with European distribution in place - got to be a winner.

Despite aim to keep it at one share it does make some sense to differentiate those which have a cap of #100m or more and those which are in the penny share category with cap of probably less than #10m. Much easier for the latter to have a multiple increase, as ASC this year; there is still a lot to go for in the former category this year.

In first category, I go for AZM. Quiet year this year having touched 220p on the Japanese deal for licensing their obesity drug in 2003. I feel that a worldwide deal is likely this year and the price will at least double.

In the second, I go for CFP. At rock bottom with a profit warning because several AIM deals have not seen the light of day. If deals go their way, the profit potential is very significant. 10 times multiple is not out of the question.

Eric

Legins , do you follow all the Parker Rowe pushed crap ?

Is your tip Tower PLC their next offering ?

You have also failed to list the many disasters of Stephen Dean.

Regards

PS Good luck to anyone who deals with that lot , you'll need it.

I like ACE and NLR which have already been mentioned, but if you prefer boring have a look at NRG. Results end of January should show eps of at least 17p, cash pile growing, good dividend and trading buoyant.

Still at a discount to the sector despite recent rise. An overlooked gem imo.

capa

I agree with Pete Adams AUGEAN looks good they also have a top class management team experienced in this field

Tips/Hopes for 2005,

SEO, technology wanted and needed by packaging market. Potential market worth 1 per share, even low strike rate should push sp along and Asda are closest with trials, if successful, Tesco/Sainsburys etc. Also other strings to the bow.
IDS, had good strong run recently but more to come, products aimed at general public on Sky/Telewest/and Freeview, costs uner control and buying power improving all lead by decent man at the top.
MMG, speculative but have very good potential with a variety of cancer/HIV treatments that are patented. As they move into clinical trials any early signs of success will hopefully see this move, especially as some of the big guns, Glaxo/Astrazeneca could do with some new products right now and might start showing an interest.

This was my first year, plenty of mistakes to learn from but also some success.
Good luck to everyone in 2005.

With internet purchases growing and the facts that credit card purchasing is outstripping cash then RTD has to be the stock of 2005.

LEGINS,

Cut out the personal stuff!

Please read the Mail on Sunday article, nothing to do wih me, I'm just quoting it to warn anyone that may not know that Parker Rowe are not authorised to offer shares via cold calling telephone calls, and are in fact on the FSA banned list.

To suggest that my posts have "spooked" holders out of these shares is ridiculous, and you know it. The fact of the matter is that shares offered by 'boiler room' type operations have a very poor performance record, as PSH have just shown, please check the chart.

You seem to follow the Parker Rowe recommendations, do you have a connection to them by any chance?

Top Tip 2005: Hampson(HAMP). Clicking on its name gives one of many good reasons why this may be a star choice this year (that was a year ago) and why the chart is showing a breakout already under way following test flights this week. And if it gets pulled back I shall grab me some more.

Predateur

I think Centurian ( CUC ) will do well this year. There has been a huge share overhang of holding by the estate of the former Chairman killed in a road accident in January 2004. This was cleared in December by sale to Unicorn Asset Management at 88p, now around 115p.
The company is the UK market leader for in-car audio visual entertainment with contracts with Toyota and KIA and a widespread retail customer base.
The year to 30/09/04 showed turnover up 152%, profit up 81%.
Declare small holding. One to watch, but DYOR.

Very long on PPR.sp can continue sideways as long as it likes but eventually go north.Record order book,good products and profits will see to that.Company upbeat,Brokers note,update following visit to factory,re-rating all on the cards and safe bet for 2005.Resistance @ 8p & breakout when it comes close & hold above @ 8.5p.Holding from 4.4p.imho.DYOR.

He carries on and I'll start posting the names of their salesmen at Parker Rowe and start a thread dedicated to how useless they are.

Regards

Dil,

Cheers!

MDW,Mediwatch-been following them for about a year and they appear to have good products and very good potential for this year-dyor as always.

Both MDW and PPR up today.PPR total turnover last year 3.3m.Quoted projects near to 3m and order book of 1.3m.Analyst meetings and news of contracts presumably confirmation from quoted projects and order book increasing.Probably on course for 5m this year and margins.Prospects of year on year organic growth is why PPR in long term portfolio.
