It's a risky one, but with a 2006 PE forecast of 4, I have jumped into this one!

It has been down by quite a bit recently. The company have stated that that is due to one large seller. The chart seems to be turning a corner now though.

Great day today and I reckon we have more to come.

Another nice rise today. Did you notice how they dropped the bid and offer for no reason. It looks to me that they are after stock either to fill and order or because the are short. Hold on if you hold. Buy more if you can.

Anyway day finished with a nice 60K buy

So will they move this rapidly tomorrow or stagnate it ? Let's see.

i haVe a few of these went up friday on chance of takeoVer,they seem to be winning orders,not sure where the price could go, hoping for around 9p. any thoughts?
