Brainspark Plc is an AIM listed company, focusing on investments in best-of-breed Information & Communication Technology (I&CT) primarily in Europe and Israel.
The core competence of the Company is the vision and the understanding of I&CT, and how these technologies will be key for the creation of break-through applications, combined with an international network of excellence among researchers and entrepreneurs.
The advent of broadband will have a major impact on the way businesses operate providing opportunities for new services and contents
We believe it is a timing issue, rather than a 'will be' issue. Brainspark is positioning its portfolio of investments to be ready to take advantage of the broadband opportunities when they become available.

creation of 3D models of cities and other areas of special interest. GeoSim's
management believes its state-of-the-art technological tools allow cost and time
saving in data collection and 3D modeling process. GeoSim realised revenues in 2003 of about US$400,000 (#240,000) mostly in the second half of the year and is expecting to make further progress in 2004, particularly in the USA where the

mackem - 27 Oct 2005 16:28 - 89 of 152

Very kind of wins to force it down to let me buy in below 2p.

Not my normal cup of tea but when this news is confirmed
i can see a 30-50% gain or maybe more in the making.

SueHelen - 27 Oct 2005 18:41 - 90 of 152

A bit harsh mackem on myself.....a ten bagger if you followed my advice last November.

Hi Papal, I made my 300% gain buying at 0.30 pence and selling at 1.30 pence in August. Made a 100% on these trading these over the last couple of days. That's more than enough for me. I have a motto of not falling in love with stocks and that's stood me well.....these kind of gains happen several times during the year on different stocks.

For example...there was a 1000% gain to be had in HHO if everyone timed it right.

Mackem - DMR will be the next ten bagger.....IMHO but the one who have been ramping MOI will never get be a ten bagger let alone get to 1 pence.

Squelch Mackem...someone who thinks he's above the rest (this game is not for the likes of you)...just see his comments on the DMR thread and how he has disappeared from there as the price has risen 35.00% this week.

katcenka - 27 Oct 2005 19:25 - 91 of 152

lovely day... another 100% rise tomorrow me thinks

SueHelen - 27 Oct 2005 19:27 - 92 of 152

Mackem Alert - anything to say on Katcenka's post.....Is he too strong for you to attack.

Heres news of Microsoft - httphttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4382112.stm

ateeq180 - 27 Oct 2005 21:11 - 94 of 152

There were some big buys after the bell which moneyam only shows upto 4.38pm,but on the iii thread there were contin buys until 17.38pm,so may be a good start tomorrow,who knows,but good luck for tomorrow,and hope to get an rns soon,and a positive one.

SueHelen - 27 Oct 2005 21:14 - 95 of 152

No Ateeq. The MM's 'brought the price down at the end' because they took on 2.5m worth of sells within the space of 10 minutes...

katcenka - 27 Oct 2005 21:24 - 96 of 152

over adfvn, they are saying the same as ateeq sue helen, also the drop at the end was a false drop, tomorrow apparently will open at 2.5p on offer... hope you didnt sell

katcenka - 28 Oct 2005 08:46 - 97 of 152

another big rise this morning

ateeq180 - 28 Oct 2005 10:38 - 98 of 152

There might be few dips along the way,but by looking at the buys and sells ratio it seems as this will hopefully break this 2.50p barrier at some stage,or may fall before the big rise,just my opinion i am not an expert but things do look good at the present time.good luck.

katcenka - 28 Oct 2005 11:44 - 99 of 152

good op to top up now

katcenka - 28 Oct 2005 11:44 - 100 of 152

katcenka - 28 Oct 2005 12:19 - 102 of 152

katcenka

I saw those on A.D.V.F.N. I don't see the relevace, I have 500,000 of these which I bought @ 0.003 and I want them to be 3.5p + but hard facts will only do that, I had read Bluedolphines posts and he does ramp but I hope he is right.

What is your opinion though, would love it to be Yahoo or Google and it is strange how the have not named the "Firm" yet almost as if it will effect the SP because of them

katcenka - 28 Oct 2005 13:43 - 108 of 152

stew... look at brainsparks website... they have been involved with YAHOO... the answer was right in front of us... I have posted the links above...

yippppeeee, 5p nope, if it is Yahoo, you can easily say 30p a share
