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!)

Good point sigmadelta, i did challenge ssanebs on his source of info cos i had a suspicion that he was just making it up! Always dyor anyway! Your right about the big seller altho yesterdays 1m sells could have been delayed trades dont you think? so they could actually be buys. Im confident in my own research in this company. Next few weeks will see some good news im sure. Heres hoping!

Disappointing day (down 7.6%) atho this isnt thru lack of people buying the share as the trade list shows, more that the MM's are holding price down. Lets hope these very illusive announcements come soon, altho i did top up my holding today at a very reasonable 3.21. Only 3 weeks till the interims so hopefully they will move soon!

jdubb, I agree it is just a case of waiting. I also topped up today at 3.19 which is reasonable. What are your views on how big the news will be with regards to contracts. Even if the news is delayed my research points to EPO delivering sometime this year. But how much will it deliver....the product is good though.

Little disappopinted again as more buys then sells (lots more). Hopefully as the other contributors say just a case of mm manipulation. Perhaps wanting to get cheap stock before big demand?

where is the info on the interim dates?

on there website.....last interim announcement 29/03

Pumacat;
Definately the case on the MMs wanting cheap stock, this stock has been manipulated by them for weeks due to lack of good news. The only times it has moved other than for this, is when good old Tim Freeborn tips it in Shares mag! It will definately move soon cos he spoke with there CEO Rob Cunningham recently and he said there would be some announcements this quarter, plus the interims will be around the 29th of this month. Good time to topup while they are lower!

Another bad day! but i think the whole market was generally marked down regardless of who was buying or selling. Epo was again mainly in the blue so MMs must be holding price down for their own clients to buy in at the lower price- which is good news really. No panic anyway cos they will no doubt tick up again tm and nxt week.

Jdubb & astonvilla thanks for the infor. I read the shares stuff and thats why I bought in.

Sadly other shares are dfd (even stevens) cyh (30% paper loss) and gld (even stevens) so I have no money to spare for top ups :(

Results out on Wed 31st for definate. Some kind gent on another board rang the company and they said 31st, so who are we to argue?

news imminent on epo. most traders were expecting it on the 31st. but todays info says there will be one deal prior to the results.

can confirm announcement on monday, with other updates with the results on 31st.

EPO still has a lot to prove in my book, lots of promises but no agreements, still it could be worth several times the current price if these do come off, operating at only 1% of capacity there is plenty of room for growth. i think the current price is good long term value if the management delivers and that is the big question, will they?

ssanebs , any idea what the announcement will be about . im a recent buyer of epo and would like to know if news flow is going to be regular from now on?

As the interims are on Wed 31st id say the RNS (if there is one!- look back at ssanebs past record of guessing!) will be saying just that- announcing that results will be out wed. Unless ssanebs is an "insider" which i doubt, how can anyone know when or what will be announced! If there is one saying new contracts signed-great, otherwise just wait till Wed.

Hi jdubb,

I was expecting the interim announcement on the Monday 29th as this is the forecast date on their web page. Where has the 31st come from? I agree with you why will there be two announcements within 2 days of each other.....

j.dubb

do you honestly think that people dont find info out before it is announced? the monday announcement will be regarding bridgewell. the other contract updates with results. my previous info was not guessing. tim freeborn met the chairman and he did not stick to his promised timetable just as he has not this time! even though i accept it is not totally in his control.

S

Point taken! This from Todays Guardian;

Earthport, the Aim-listed electronic payments specialist, gained 4.3% to 3p on whispers that it has two contract announcements up its sleeve and is set to appoint Bridgewell as its new corporate broker.

My faith in you is restored ssanebs, ill never doubt you again.:)
