"You really should get some ser."

I wish you hadn't said that - got me looking at the furniture, the TV, the goldfish, etc trying to decide what I can sell to pay for it!

I agree that ETS is possibly a rocky ride, however, a mildly optimistic view suggests that the bottom may have been reached, more or less, and if they continue winning contracts at the pace they have been, the woes of the past will be forgotten. I.e. if they land another contract or two the size of Sainsbury's (5 mil a year for three years), or anything similar.

At the end of the day I felt like a gamble, and for the size of my stake I won't be shedding too many tears. I'm more upset about the goldfish . . .

Obviously I can make no guarantees about the share price, but for the company itself I think the upturn is well on the way.

ST
It's really is like SCO the day after an announcement and ETS and SCO have no trades at 0924 it says it all, I don't think the punters have woken up to these two companies thats why I dont hold either but would like to.

Driver, I lost patience with SCO some months ago - had a tiny holding but just couldn't see them generating revenue faster than they were diluting the stock by their continual placings.

ETS ought to have a lot more gumption, or maybe I'm just too optimistic. Time will tell.

PS my trade has finally posted - only took about two hours though!

The biggest rise of the day has to go to BRIGHT THINGS BGT up 400%

Just noticed that! It was worth two quid a year ago. Today it goes five-bagger!

Which brings me to a question: WTF was going on when I was busy trying to scrape a trade together for ETS, when I could have been buying BGT and turning into a millionaire by the minute?

Note to self: In future, buy anything that has Lara Croft in it!

GMO was up 4% today, some steady buys, this with the market falling again.... They are up 100%, and were floated yesterday..... Put on watch list

moneyplus

could you lend me 10 for the pub :)

mp
Do you still hold OEP it looks like its going up again, and EPY

No I got out but maybe it needs looking at again. I think it maybe up on Yoo's rise as Yoo own a sizeable stake in the company. Smiler if Yoo go on up --your on!

mp
When OEP moves it tends to go up sharply like it did back in March may be a shortage of stock makes it go, it moves on very small volume.

; )

MP, Whatuwant, many thanks for the SOLA tip - up a nice 10% mid-morning :o)

IMO-SOLA has a long way to go yet-fingers and everything else crossed! I think the market is only just waking up to this one though there may be some profit taking later today.

Right on all counts, MP. :o)
