Some good news at last from this weeks Shares mag. Tim Freeborn revisits the company and altho no firm details are given about new deals he says they will be announced this quarter. I would think that this could be at the same time as the interim results are announced. I for one will be holding on cos they will fly sooner rather than later! ( 8.30% up today!)

The sceptic in me thinks that, after the large share purchases in recent days, either there will be another annoucement v.soon or we are due a positive write up in Shares or IC this week !

Do you have a crystal ball? Another good announcement today! Things are certainly improving on the PR front and with the share price too!!

No crystal ball unfortunately, just a deep scepticism about insider trading in the city and so-called efficient markets!

Other than the press release I havent seen any other details of this latest tie up, (and importantly the prices of the options), which would increase the shares in issue by 10 %. But, better than paying cash I guess.

I would imagine the next leap in the share price, rather than a steady uptick will come when that other broker, whose name I can't recall starts coverage, (or if shares of IC give another positive write up)

More announcements to come I hope.

There were supposed to be many deals in the pipeline, looks like they are starting to come through.

up 0.12 today....somebig trades going through at the moment...someone must know something perhaps

A lot of buying today in protected trades.

UP 4.6%

Nice profit :-)

Yesterday's RNS is getting people's attention!

RNS

Tallulah Properties Limited sells 3 million shares at 2.7p

Price is up today.

Apple

What price did you buy EOP at? When Did you buy?

With a spread of 6.5% + stamp duty what is your margin?

Interested.

Fred1new,

That was 4th June, price has retreated since then.

I have made various trades buy & sell since November.

Hmmmmmmm, nearly all sells today & price is up.

I've seen it before when it's all selling and the price goes up, it's the market makers picking up stock prior to news usually. EPO has loads of punters holding out for the big hit, 5-10 fold increase so aren't selling, the only way to encourage sellers is tick the price up a bit as we see this morning, little volume and no news.

At last, he is a director.

A director!!!! I wish, no just a punter with an optimistic streak who can't work his new lap top properly.

Oh and what's your explanation for rising share values against majority selling?

I wonder if these rumours are true.

Express yesterday

Internet payment systems company EARTHPORT rose 0.18p to 2.35p on expectations a company-transforming deal would be revealed in the next few days.
