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 ?

axe 79 - will do. Some characters over there! but I like that there is more frequent posting which is good during the shaky times! Good to find you and game_boy over there. Simply put, my understanding of the situation from posts I've read from Sue, yourself and game_boy is that CWV have a fantastic pitch to present to investors; investors always want a deal; if the announcement regarding share issue is made first and THEN the contract news, those investors are almost guaranteed a very fast northward movement on their investment.
So nothing to worry about and it's all as predicted and expected.
Or am I missing some fundamental part of the picture?

anna...no your not.....Theres a few of us that are full time traders, we make our living trading! We try to give the readers real time solid info, and protect them as best we can from those who have questionable motives. It is not as polite as over here, and its sometimes gets hard to keep the board in check, but thats part of the fun. You are welcome to join in anytime. I remember you saying that you have 200k invested, don't think there's any reason for you to be worried, for what my take is worth.

Have an enjoyable week end, and speak to you Monday

AXE

CWV price next friday close?
any guess.... 10p or 20p

My take is closer to 20 than 10 by the end of the week....watch out for paranoid behaviour on Monday though !!!

test (nm)

Optimistic ppl will say 20p
Pessimistic and trouble maker will say 10p

I'd say 22-25p by next Friday

one more optimistic ppl

I'd say 10p if no news maybe less

My experience of companies raising money, is short term the the price will drift and trade just above the placing price.As it appears retail investors will not be involved in the placing there will no rush to buy to get involved.
Imho the price will drift lower until a price is announced.keep an eye on volume over the next few weeks good indicator.

i think it is staggering to the point of near immorality that there are people who are posting on this board,who clearly have a very vested interest in keeping this share price as high as possible,for what are clearly their own personal reasons.the same people are posting on advfn......and more than likely other boards as well.be mindful of what happened a couple of years ago,when doubtless the same people were dominating these boards with mindless ramping of penny shares.

i am making this comment,albeit reluctantly,as it seems to me that many people here are gambling rather than investing.this has been pointed out by one intelligent poster on here.

i am an interested party,in that i have been a customer of cms for the past eight years,until the spring of this year when the satellite ddf.feed was discontinued.i am not a shareholder,and never have been.i am not interested in gambling.for the avoidance of doubt,and to allay suspicion of my motives for writing this,which are altruistic.....my portfolio contains..
pz cussins....formerly paterson zacchonis
forth ports
belhaven group
hornby
greggs
peter hambro mining
persimmnon..............plus a few more...

....all i would say those who are holders at prices higher than friday's close....be very careful.

25p by friday

eildon hills...what a true knight in shining armour you are...coming to the defense of all these innocent investors who you have nothing but altruistic thoughts for....and what a coincidence that you have appeared in the last 3 days as the price has retraced....also under your other pseudonym of douglas fir on the other BB you refer to...I have nothing but contempt for you now !!

I will also copy my post here to the other BB as well so people are clear on my own thoughts of your behaviour... you seem to have taken offence at our justified and robust challenge of your comments over the past few days.....we have not questioned your statement of being a CWV customer....that may be correct although I now have serious doubts whether any of what you say is true....however that does not mean per se that you have any knowledge at all of the business fundamentals and future potential of CWV...if you had then surely you might have had an inkling to buy in at 2-3p a few months ago....you would now be sitting on a tidy profit and no doubt have a different perspective on CWV....

You have accused people such as myself and axe79 of what you now call 'immorality'...and yet I would ask anyone on this board or ad vfn to give their views on who is being 'immoral' in their behaviour... I think you may find that over the past few weeks holders of CWV will have realised that axe and I have researched CWV in depth and have made countless statements as to why we believe the future of this company is superb...we have been doing this from when it was 3p right up to when it went over 20p....and continue to hold this stock now.....whereas you have made it clear you are not a holder....and if you think any of us believe you spend your time wandering these boards as the saviour of misinformed investors...go get a life m8 !!!

E hills...why do you hid behind several names....have you forgotten your real one, douglas fir tree and god knows the others. Could you please provide us with the list.

eildonhills is a known deramper from the ADVFN board where he posts under the alias "douglas fir" - BEWARE!

So why would someone go to the trouble of posting to CWV threads on various bulletin boards all over the Internet and expressing pessimistic views as a NON-SHAREHOLDER?

Obviously he/she/they are trying to make you all sell, resulting in the share price dropping so they can buy in as cheaply as possible. I have seen this attempt time and time again on these boards.

Fortunately, this is a possitive sign since it shows just how keen investors are to come on board this company and the lengths they will go to.

One thing is for sure, I never EVER sell shares in a company while there are vultures like that mounting a dedicated campaign to get on board. The more they post, the more convinced I am that I have something worth holding on to.

Lets keep this from the personal.

A market is made up of the collective conscious of buyers and sellers. I urge those on this board with sensible, informed comment to engage in debate with facts and research.

Not this incessant ramping, de-ramping nonsense. That is most certainly not investing and it clouds the story for serious investors in this company of which there are obviously some on this board.

CMS has a growth story - fact.

It's the pace of that growth story we should be focussing on, and its translation into bottom line profits, earnings per share, p/e ratios, value? those kinds of things.

If May 04 profits come in at 500,000 for example, a price of 50pence puts the stock on a p/e of 63 times. I merely ask the question are other investors comfortable with that kind of valuation?

If you look at Gresham (GHT) the current PE is 144. Clearly, if investors think there is good story from the management team and they believe there is upside potential, the shares will be attractive. An EBIT of 500k is achievable FY04 although will depend on service take up during Q1. A PE of 63 starts to look fair.

Lets hope a positive trading statement will accompany the fundraising, so that a little more information is on the table.

thestatus.....etc.....What you need to look at is the rate of growth, coupled to the potential rate of growth. P.E. ratios are fine to use in larger companies, but are totally unsuitable with companies like these. The indictor that would be better in these cases is the Peg ("price earnings growth ratio")

Are you invested in CWV, and if so at what price levels have you bought in at, and what is the total amount of your holdings?

Too many people post on these boards without really understanding the picture.

More good news

MoreCMS WebView signs up another three clients for ProphetX
-------------------------------------------------------

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.
