I bought shares in this company at 4.5p in September 2003. I see they are rising. Can anyone tell me please the growth potential for this company as they have just been awarded several new contracts ?

(Full version of the contract news released on Monday is now on the CMS website too):

CMS WebView signs up another three clients for ProphetX
01 December 2003
Nidera UK Ltd., a leading supplier of cereals, oilseeds and proteins to domestic and international markets, is one of three additional new clients to subscribe to ProphetX, the market price display system for energy and commodity traders sold under exclusive licence in the UK by market data systems specialist CMS WebView plc ("CMS").

On 27th October 2003, AIM company CMS announced it had successfully signed up Vitol and E.D & F Man, both international commodities trading companies, to the ProphetX system. CMS has now signed a total of 15 new clients, including Fortis Bank and Olam International since July 2003 when it began fully marketing the product in the UK.

ProphetX is a professional real-time market display and analysis product for commodity traders that has been developed by US company DTN Market Access. Typically priced at 200 per month per terminal, it has already proved popular in the USA, selling over 4,000 terminals.

The ProphetX system combines live market data, powerful analytical tools, as well as up-to-the minute news. ProphetX can be internet-delivered or installed on a firm's network. And because it has been developed for use on standard Microsoft platforms, users are already familiar with the on-screen environment. Moreover, the system can be accessed remotely, allowing it to be used when traders are away from their desks.

Commenting on the new client wins, Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS WebView, said:

"We're very pleased to welcome Nidera UK among our growing list of clients. The level of sales of ProphetX over the last three months has been most encouraging, which proves that there's clearly an appetite for a commodities price display system that's easy-to-use, has high quality data and news, yet is very competitively priced."
Mark Dordery, Managing Director of Nidera UK Ltd., said:

"We wanted a real-time market data and analysis system that met all our needs in terms of functionality, reliability and cost effectiveness. It had to be intuitive to use and be backed up with good customer support. ProphetX is a fully professional system that fits this description perfectly."
CMS estimates the target market for ProphetX to be worth over two hundred million pounds per annum in Europe. CMS will receive a significant percentage of annual revenues from ProphetX sales in the UK reflecting its substantial investment in the sales, marketing and customer support operations.

Hi there,

Does anyone know why a contact telephone number with contact personnel of Gresham public relations is listed in the above news?
Do they look after the PR of CMS?

Many thanks,

Sue.

From today's Daily Telegraph newspaper:

CMS Webview, the provider of software systems for commodities traders, recovered 2.25 to 12.5p after announcing a deal with Swedish company Cinnober to co-promote one of Cinnober's trading platforms.

Sue.

Thanks SueHelen for all the info, this positive news flow is exactly what you have been predicting and i am sure there is as you say more to come.

If this hasn't been issued as an RNS maybe it has been missed by many traders who will come to know later. Implies to me that only 'significant' news is posted by company, i.e this is small fry next to what is coming. what do you think?

Glad to see that the board is turning back to normal.....After the sharp fall back, which was much steeper/longer than expected, we have seen the firm base level established at just over 10-11.5p. This was a failed test by the MM's (which is something not seen very often!) The key to this, is not "up to 30m shares to be placed to large investors and institutions to raise UP TO 2.5M" nor what the discount to.........whatever figure it will end up at! The new shares cannot be allocated until after the EGM on the 22nd anyway. If the share price at that time is say 40p do you think the company would give 30m shares away at say 12p?.....I think not!

The key is VOLUME....Market Makers can delay in real time up to 2hrs, and delay putting the big deals though until the day end, (after hours) if it suits them! The MM's have the spread that they adjust throughout the day, along with marking the price up or down. But there not content with only doing that. Why do you think that prices fell for 3 days on buying vol? (for what vol there was) On Thurs there was a big MM-MM trade and another big selling spike. Friday was the day of reversal again only 1.138m shares traded (mainly buys) The object of the exercise was for the MM's to engineer a sell off, so they could aquire all the cheep stock they wanted at bargin prices....It didn't happen did it, because the stock remained solid in the hands of shareholders who could see the bigger picture.

Also during this time we have had many posters coming onto the board spreading doom and gloom, and picking fights with whoever they can. I suspect some of them are paid profesionals, as many slip away at 5pm! Some have even been hacking into our names and putting out false posts!

I see a strong recovery now, and until the MM's see profit taking (on vol) the price will keep rising. Expections for next week. The price to be marked up on opening Mon and previous high to be broken in the week. Short term targets are 6 to 7 X set base, rising to as much as factor 10 before consolidation. This will be News dependent.

Please don't ask me to explain the why and where fors of all this. Its over 20yrs in the markets, some of it as a futures trader.

AJRIN.....you are still a wanker....o/k

Regards to Sue and the nice people on this board
All the best

TO ALL, DO YOU KNOW THAT 2/3 OF THE MESAES HERE IS JUST ABUSE!!!!!!

WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP POSTING RUDE OFFENSIVE COMMENTS IN THIS BOARD.... FOR THOSE HOW OFFEND OTHERS PLEASE TAKE YOU ANGERS SOMEWHERE ELSE. FOR THOSE WHO GET OFFENDED BY OTHERS, DO NOT ANSWER BACK, MAKES THINGS WORTH.

OBVIOULSLY WE ALL WANT TO BENEFIT IF THIS SHARE DOES WELL SO WOULD YOU PLEASE CONCENTRATE YOUR EFFORTS IN ADULT DEBATES AND PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THIS COMPANY. WE ALL KNOW THAT ALMOST ALL SHARES DO GO UP AND DOWN. THIS IS SHOWING AN UPWARD MOVE SO FAR SO LETS KEEP FAITH COUPLE WITH RESEARCH AND EACH OF US WOULD MAKE THE BEST DECISION.

TO SUE: YOU BY FAR HAVE BEEN THE MOST INFORMATIVE AND THE PERSON DOING ALL THE RESEARCH AND I DO BELIEVE YOU AND YOUR FOLLOWERS WILL SEE BIG REWARDS IN THE LONG TERM. MY BEST WISHES TO YOU.

Been out of the UK for a week - could only check CWV prices via my mobile ! - it's been a rollercoaster and because of cash flow HAD to sell part of my holding which now stands at 150,000 which I can now afford to keep - interesting posts and took me a long time to go through ADVFN - a few things have struck me a) I wonder what percentage of CWV holders are ADVFN and moneyam posters b) it seems as if the rock bottom price of the new placing price, purely on a basic maths calculation, will be is 8.34p (2.5m divided by 30m shares) but largely depends on what the price is doing by the date of the egm 22nd/23rd Dec. c) there is an absence of figures mentioned in their recent announcements in terms of what the new contracts are worth
Sue - Greshams is definitely the PR company for CWV and interestingly enough, I noticed that they are also the PR company for TEP - have spoken to the main man there but he is obviously limited in what info he is able to give out.
You've had an awful lot of flak on this board and it seems that when investors are scared because of falling share prices, that they need to have someone to blame - other than themselves. The only thing I would say to be wary of is giving a definite price prediction because then that can be thrown back in your face - that's not a critiscism, just an observation and thank you again for sharing all the research and information - your last post re: contract news wasn't even an RNS! Well, let's hope next week is a good one
Regards
Anna

Hold onto your seat belt Anna, next week and the rest will be a ride to remember! I'm sure you will have a lovely Xmas. Enjoy the sweet pleasures that a good investment brings!

Sue.

Sue.

Thank you Sue.

With all that time you spend on research... I really think you have to get out more!! :-)

Good morning Sue
Just to confirm that not only are Gresham the PR agents for CMS, if you try to speak to Bob Antell at CMS whilst he is out peddling his wares, you will in all probability be routed through to Neil Boom (Gresham)as indeed I was last week. Your efforts are very much to be admired and appreciated. Cristmas is a coming, the goose is gonna get fat we hope!!!

The one good thing about threads is that you can't remove it once you've sent it.....good to see all the tossers creeping again, i wounder if this will chge again if things go tits up...

Anne hope your wk wasn't spoilt due to dip in share price, not nice being away from the screen whilst things are going wrong,we've all been their, constantly playing in the back of your mind and spoils your free time, anyway best wishes all, keep up the good threads all

Best wishes to holders.

Smaller companies spotlight
Pat Lay's
small caps, This Is Money
4 December 2003

EACH week, former Fleet Street City Editor Patrick Lay keeps This Is Money readers up-to-date with a neglected, but exciting sector of the stock market - smaller companies.

AS predicted here, CMS Webview is seeking to raise 2.5m through a placing to help increase the marketing of its main Transactional Data Interface product, including in the US market. Meanwhile, Nidera UK, a leading supplier of cereals, oilseeds and proteins to domestic and international markets, has become a subscriber to ProphetX the groups market price display system.

Source Yesterday's The Guardian Newspaper:

Shares in CMS WebView added 2.25p to 12.5p as the real-time market data specialists announced a deal with Sweden's Cinnober that will see the two companies collaborate in the sale, marketing and management of Cinnober's over-the-counter trading platform, CScreen.

Analysts are hoping the deal will turn into a money spinner for CMS, which last month announced plans to raise 2.5m in a placing to institutions.

Sue.

A useful tip for those who are trying to check out the integrity and background of those that post on BB's....look at the day and the time of the posts....for those that only post Mon-Fri..07.30-18.30....draw your own conclusions....city boys to me with their own agendas !!

SH...keep up the good work

A fourth market maker (KBCS) has appeared today which is a very good sign for this share. Should lead to improved liquidity and narrowing of the spread over time.

I wonder how much book building they have been doing over the last week or so in preparation for making a market?
