I must have missed it Legins.
There seems to be alot of people buying into this stock today. Do you think there is something in the pipeline? I have been such a faithful holder, and am hoping for a good return :)

Eckoh Partners with Celador International to Launch the
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Telephone Game
Eckoh Technologies (Eckoh), Europe's leading speech applications service
provider, has teamed up with Celador International to create a telephone version
of the hit TV programme Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Fans of the show can now play their favourite game from any telephone 24 hours a
day with guaranteed prize money available of over 100,000 in cash.
The product has been designed for syndication to telecom operators, media owners
and other distributors and is available exclusively through Eckoh. The game will
also be promoted on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? TV show from Saturday
13th March ,.
The game launched to the public on Saturday 21st February and will be available
for 3 months. To play the game participants call a premium rate number 09064 72
72 72 (charged at 60p per minute) where they are greeted by the voice of Chris
Tarrant. They face a maximum of 10 multiple-choice questions which they answer
by pressing the relevant number on their keypad as quickly as possible, and just
like the TV game they have the opportunity to use three familiar Lifelines if
they face difficulty.
The questions are tiered into three levels and each day there are cash prizes
awarded to the fastest players who progress through the levels in the shortest
time. Answering the first three questions correctly in the fastest time wins
100, the first six questions 200, and answering all 10 in the fastest time
wins 300
In addition, a weekly prize of 1,000 is on offer to the fastest overall player
whilst the person identified as the quickest to answer 10 questions correctly at
the end of the tournament will walk-away with 50,000!
Chris Tarrant said, 'The new Telephone Game is a fantastic way for Millionaire
fans to play from home, and what better incentive to get those fingers dialling
than 50,000 in cash!'
Nik Philpot, Chief Operating Officer of Eckoh, commented, 'This is such a great
project to have been involved in as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is the
biggest global TV game show brand. We had to make sure that we translated the
same quality experience that people get from viewing the show onto the
telephone, and we feel that we've done that exceptionally well. The reaction
from promoters and players alike has been fantastic'

Are you still in this Legins? Unfortunately, I gave up on it a few weeks back. It has generated a large loss for me in the end.
News came out this morning but the price went down. Wonder why??

I think the millionaire game sounds pretty weak. I'm still holding but the share price is well and truly stuck. We need some real news of significance.

Hi ticker, yes I'm still in. I bought in again in the trough just prior to Eckoh's news announcement of their contract win with ITV commencing 1st March. You only need to see the 3 month chart to see the MM's reaction which has been to tree shake and perhaps gather stock to fill large institutional buy orders. My judgement may well have back fired as prolonging -ve ecconomic news on the $, Dow, Nasdaq front has dragged down global market sentiment in general and together with recent terrorist atrocities in Madrid any good news flowing out of companies is just getting buried.
Taking an overall picture on fundamentals together with the +ve flow of contract news since last interims and significant increases in revenues that should bring next results well into profit(year end 31st March - Finals will be out in early June) IMHO Eckoh's share price should have surged. May have to wait untill a little closer to finals before my patience is rewarded.

Hi All I'm new to this game, I also hold some shares in ECK. I wonder if anyone else have noticed that in many cases buys are recorded as sells because it's below the mid market price. On two occasions I've bought shares and it's been recorded as sells together with other purchases at the same price. Makes things very confusing.

wonder when ECK will begin to announce "new deals" from their new/prospects pipeline!
from the AGM statement back in June 2004
Outlook
The new financial year has started well, with the group trading in line with our expectations. In particular, our recent announcements of substantial speech contracts with UGC and the London Stock Exchange and the launch of a
self-service solution for Vue (Warner Village Cinemas) are very exciting
developments, and serve to further validate our strategy in this area.
Moving forward, we have a strong pipeline of new and prospective business and
believe that this will continue to fill as major corporations appreciate the
significant benefits that advanced speech recognition and self-service
applications can bring to their customer contact strategies.

looking at the RNS announcements I can only see the Trinity Mirror deal in the last 3 months, and while it seems to be a 'big contract' and will have a positive effect on eps, I agree we need to see a much more regular flow of new contracts to get the share price moving....
having said that looking at the 2002 and 2003 chart for this share, September seems to be historically the low point and by December has put on 50%/100%....I wouldn't be unhappy at history repeating itself at these levels!
