DDD Group (LSE: DDD.L - news) , has developed software and hardware products that enable the viewing of 3D images without the need to wear special spectacles. The company has just signed a 3-year deal with nWave Pictures to covert a number of movies into its TriDef format. Could be one for the watch list.

No. I don't short stocks, but what I see is a stock that has been ramped continuously with false rumours spread from time to time. If it wasn't for the misinformation spread concerning DDD the price would be condiderably lower than it has been. False rumours draw in unwary investors and untimatley cost them money.

For DDD to make any money in the future with mobile phones, it will be necessary for very large numbers of people to pay to view pretend 3D video clips that have been converted from 2D by DDD. This seems very unlikely to me.

It is easy to fall in love with technology concepts, but a decent business model is needed. It doesn't look like DDD has a better business model than it has had over the past few years.

I haven't posted any thing positive about DDD, because I don't think there is anything positive to post.

Whilst I appreciate your views Haystack I cannot understand why someone (years now) would continuously posts negative views on a company that you apparently have no vested interest in. To me thats appears wierd. Also, from what I've seen DDD has not been ramped, rather people posting their positive views/thoughts. Either way you look at it Haystack it's either ramping or vice versa. I think the concept of realistic 3D is an excellent idea, but selling it to the mass consumer may prove to be more difficult. Just for your info. I do not hold this share.

It was ramped very heavily and it still is from time to time. If you look at the chart and read the posts around the times of rises you will see unfounded rumours being spread. When reality sinks in and the rumours are found to be false the price drops back again.

The trouble is that DDD converted images are unlikely to be realistic 3D.

If you don't like my posts then don't read them. It is not realistic to imagine your views will alter my posting style on DDD.

Unfounded rumours? I was posting on ADVFN for many months and never came across that. I think you are confusing rumours with peoples expectations, which are quite different.

To state images are likely to be unrealistic is rather narrow minded. It's like saying man would never be able to go to the moon or to communicate on a mobile phone is an impossibility. It's a high/risk reward play and it obviously depends on the technology being very good, which in turn costs money and time to develop. Quite obviously current investors consider it worth while. They accept the inherent risks. All I'm saying is that your posts don't add much to threads, unless of course you can provide constructive and informative views, which you don't. There's more to life than posting negative views on DDD, for what must be 3 years or more. Fellow moneyam investors filter the tosser. Nuff said...signing out!

Investors should disregard negative comments about DDD, and stay focussed on the new positive fact that mobile phone industry legend, Hans Snook, has now joined the board and bought a stake in the company.

Remember two golden rules of investment:

Concentrate on management and potential growth.
And remember why you bought the stock.

You mean why you think you bought the stock. It may not measure up to reality in the same way that DDD's 3D does not meaure up to real 3D.

NOTICE OF EGM

DDD Group plc (the 'Company') posted a circular to shareholders (the 'Circular')
on 16 January 2006 to seek the necessary approval from shareholders to increase
the authorised share capital of the Company and provide the authorities (inter
alia) to enable the Company to implement the allotment and issue of shares in a
proposed Placing, the details of which were announced on 12 January 2006, to
raise 1,265,000 before expenses.

An Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company will be held on 10 February
2006, notice of which is set out in the Circular.

They are asking you once again if you mind having your shareholding diluted by around 25%. I imagine that the holders will agree as they usually do. They have seen their shares diluted every year for years now as the company spends quite a bit of cash.

The current cash raising is less than they lost in the last FY accounts, so it remains to be seen how long it lasts. They had no choice though as they were almost out of money anyway.

Haystack, what do you expect from a growth company. Fundraising should be expected and shouldn't be viewed as negative.

But DDD have just gone from one cash crisis to the next for years now. Where is the growth anyway?

cash crisis is another way of saying raising funds. It's cheaper than borrowing from the banks. Growth in terms of product. I'm not getting into detail with this company as I have no real interest now. Haystack, please name me one stock that you are currently long on.....I'm intrigued?

Shares mag have DDD as a buy.I don't know what to make of it with all these differing opinions.

Come on, Haystack, shout it out ... any shares that you are long on. Hehehe!
Bet you can't name any.

Maybe only your robot picked shares...cos you can't think

Being long on something else has nothing to do with DDD.

The above is only a 4-day chart...means nothing, Haystack

That chart is the same pattern thats on my ECG machine.Do you think i,m OK?

LOL

You may be a ghost!

Kathryna, no need to worry!

Kathryna, don't worry! If your ECG chart pattern is like DDD's, it is suggesting that you are just taking a breather, before springing into dynamic life!
