Remember when very few cars had a radio, now its common place.
Electric windows, sun-roofs and air-con where for top of the range vehicles.
Only XR3i and GTIs had fuel injection.

Now we are seeing SAT-NAV and in-car DVD and LCD SCREENS being fitted by car owners These are considered luxury items still or add-on kits.

We are now seeing SAT-NAV and in-car entertainment systems being fitted to more and more new cars, this will be the expected norm in the future.

DVL has over 15 years experience in the development and supply of in-car audio visual entertainment and satellite navigation solutions, with key strengths in the following areas:
Research and development
Concept design
CAD design and support
Programme management
OEM engineering liaison
Hard and soft trim fabrication
Performance and safety verification
Component manufacturing
Production assembly
Logistics management
Marketing support


With yet another contract added again today I feel that Designer Vision Ltd is the stock to back and get in early on the car entertainment boom.

What are their margins like. Production companies live by margins and NOT turnover.

A good point.

Once the next set of results are out you can guess what the margins are. Every stock is a risk reward play. If you believe the management is reasonably good, and the sales include a sensible margin, that should translate into profits and an improved share price. If you think they're a load of rubbish and just giving away stock to win big orders, then obviously the price will plummit when they get found out. Every stock you buy is a 50/50 gamble. You can only form an opinion based on the information you have available. This is a small stock. If people want safety (as far as safety goes) they should look at a FTSE 100 company, or keep the money in the bank.

As ever. Just my opinion. Do your own research.

Strawbs.

Although I don't know what the profit is on MP3 players but this is an old statement about Samsungs involvement in MP3 player manufacture from last year:-

South Korea's Samsung has unveiled six new models of MP3 player to help it triple sales this year.

It aims to sell more than five million MP3 players this year, up from 1.7 million units in 2004.

Samsung, a relatively late comer to the MP3 player business, already has eight models in the fast growing and profitable market.

Bought again this morning - Almost all my eggs in one basket now. My timing was perfect having bought at the bottom at under 3p end of Feb and topping up on the dips as we go. If only I could get it right more often.

Designer Vision Launch their new on-line Shop.

Blimey, how far is this going to go?

looking for a good 20p as the foundations seem to be solid

Yes agreed - around 15p - 20p seems about right from what I've read so far, longer term 40p?

Certainly 20p by EOY

Buy and tuck away is my advice FWIW

H.

Designer Vision have a new Lifestyle product called the DVX-POD coming soon and looks the business.

My exit stragegy for DVS is a Stop-Loss 20% below current price and move it up on major moves. Hopefully I don't sell too soon that way.

Very slow today, would expect a drop tomorrow if there is no news. Although if it drops people waiting in the wings to get on at under 8p again.

Support level hopefully 7.5p, it's a gamble being out when news could be announced anytime.

Looks like it may be on the way down for a while. It was a bit of a steep rise without any indication of what profit they might make from recent deals.

Start of the next leg up.

Another tick up. Punters will be scrambling to get in soon.

Off we go again, slow start to the week but some movement again at last.

Designer Vision Group PLC

("Designer Vision" or the "Company")

Ex-Investment Banker Joins Designer Vision

Designer Vision Group PLC, a leading supplier of multimedia systems to the
retail and automotive industries, is pleased to announce the appointment of
Zafarullah (Zafar) Karim as a non-executive director with immediate effect.
After leaving Cambridge University, Zafar joined Saloman Brothers and
subsequently was assistant Director with NM Rothschild until 2002. He has over
a decade of experience in mergers and acquisitions and raising capital.

Angelo Panayiotou, Chairman and CEO of Designer Vision commented

"We are delighted to have Zafar join and strengthen the Board of Designer
Vision. His extensive International investment banking experience will be very
valuable in the ongoing strategic development of the business."

Bodes well.

Can anyone out there advise me, as a potential investor in DVS, what the potential is here for capital growth? DVS turned over 2.5m in 2004 but showed a 331k loss. In 2005 they turned over 9.2m but still showed a 370k loss. I am guessing that the attraction here is what may happen with the new contracts and a rise in the share price to match. But is it just hope or am I missing something more fundamental?
