Up at this moment by 3p - about to try and find out why!

I know...worrying isn't it (lol) we have been sitting about at
14 odd pence for ages now..can we cope with the sudden upwardly
mobile GBG??

results aren't out for at least 3 months...maybe someone has got wind of a new URU contract or maybe someone is stakebuilding on the quiet with a view to making a takeover bid?

time will tell!!

Indeed, meanwhile we can all go back to gathering dust with our
real or virtual certificates LOL

just noticed another 500,000 shares have gone through at 14.75p after hours

interesting pattern forming with larges trades over last 24 hours:-

1,000,000 @ 14.5p

250,000 @ 14.6p

500,000 @ 14.75p

125,000 @ 14.85p

the Offer goes from 14.75p to 15p to 15.5p

GBG you are back on my WATCH list!!!

Interesting.....thanks for passing it on Mack.

Thanks for info Mack. I had decided to ignore this one for a while as I it went through my stop loss some time ago. Hope there is some good news on the way.

another 250,000 buy at 15.25p just gone through!

thats 2.125m of buys in the last 48hrs....funnily enough that equates to 3% of GBG's total shareholding!

perhaps a RNS disclosure is imminent?

Maybe.....maybe.....well spotted Mack!

can anyone confirm whether or not alot of these small trades at 15p 0r 15.05p are buys or sells?

No sorry I don't have that service.

thanks bunny,

phoned my broker and he confirmed the following:-

up to 150,000 sell @14.75p

up to 150,000 buy at 15p

if I wanted 250,000+ I'd have to pay 15.5p

at least that resolves the trades @ 15p then...

Indeed - it's the old story of be patient and wait and see I'm
afraid Mack - there could be news in the air, or it could be nothing.

just noticed this in today's CheshireOnline(http://icnetwork.co.uk)

good to see that fraud prevention is viewed as an area of growth

Fraud fighting success means bigger premises Sep 9 2004

By Larry Neild, Daily Post


WORK is to start in Southport next week on a new 3m office complex for the fraud arm of the information solutions company Experian.

The 16,000 sq ft office on a business park close to Southport Hospital will enable the company to increase its workforce in the resort from 75 to 100, with more recuitment expected later.

Currently MCL Software, part of Experian, works from three offices, one in Lord Street and two in Hoghton Street.

But the workload of MCL has grown so fast that the company has run out of space and needs bigger premises.

MCL specialises in writing anti-fraud software programmes for major banks and building societies as well as big businesses. The Mayor of Sefton, Cllr Clifford Mainey, will signal the start of work on the new offices at a ground-breaking ceremony on Monday at the site in Wright Moss Way, Southport.

When constructed, the new office building will occupy the prime site within the business park development and will initially accommodate up to 100 employees. It is expected to be completed in March 2005.

Experian, the current UK Business of the Year, is a global information solutions company based in Nottingham. It has offices in 23 countries and 13,000 staff worldwide. MCL Software has been part of Experian since 1996 and is one of the UK's leading specialists in anti-fraud systems.

From its base in Southport, it supports clients across the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and Australia, including most of the UK's major banks and financial services institutions, leading insurers, the retail and mail order industry and Government and law enforcement agencies.

Experian acquired MCL Software, the developer of the registered Hunter anti-fraud software, in 2002, having owned 49% of the business since 1996.

Adrian Bennett, co-founder and managing director of MCL, said at the time: "There is growing demand for our Hunter anti-fraud system overseas and, with Experian's resources behind us we are now able to take advantage of this terrific opportunity.

Demand for the anti-fraud products and services provided by MCL and Experian is growing rapidly in the UK and overseas.

Recent significant exposure of the high risk to British consumers to identity fraud, as a result of an investigation by Experian, highlighted the growing incidence of credit application fraud by criminals who steal an individual's entire identity.

This type of fraud is one of the major contributors to the multi-billion pound drain on the consumer finance industry.

Insurance deal worth millions Aug 27 2004

Daily Post

LIVERPOOL insurer Royal & SunAlliance has signed a contract with Chester customer data specialists GB Group that is expected to generate millions of pounds worth of extra business.

GB has developed a geographical risk-analysis system for R&SA that will provide a risk assessment of individual properties in seconds.

The aim is to save R&SA time and money and to give the Old Hall Street operator a competitive advantage when replying to large commercial portfolio enquiries relating to numerous properties requiring insurance cover against various perils.

Before switching to the new system - which is based on GB's powerful Accelerator technology and Royal Mail Postcode Address File data - R&SA underwriters spent considerable time on calculations based on various sets of data to assess the risks of insuring a group of commercial properties."

trading has been light today so wouldn't be surprised to see a large T trade sell after to close to justify drop in price today?

Maybe...I'm sure it will get there in the end - EG put on and sustain a reasonable price - but it's all a question of when...

Wow - whats with what looks like 2 mil buys. If its a question of time has the clock been advanced - fingers crossed - It worked now another 1 mil buy

Hi OakApples!
I've seen the price has gone up this morning - a relief after the
recent downers - is this a turning point?
Fingers crossed!! But can't see any news out there to cause the buying...

Over 3.7M today, does seem a lot..more of these have changed hands
then in several of the bigger companies I watch - it's all very odd.

groan!!! bid back down to 13.5p on only c.100,000 shares traded today, wonder what game MMs are playing at here, especially after all that buying at the end of last week???
