I dismissed this company as froth when I first looked at it. Since then the sp has doubled and continues to steadily rise. I looked again and when I saw the countries and contracts this firm is in---I was impressed and bought some to tuck away. anyone else bought in or interested?

re - Lovely! Think I will wait for 75p and then assess.

It looks like is going to get worse before it gets better now 64.25p

US report
Nasdaq Drops Sharply / Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 36 points

Damn! Will have to wait for the next surge. MONI is quite a frustrating share for me, but hold shares rather than a S/B, so can sit and wait without any financial hit.

Harry why not use range trading instead of missing opportunities...... just think what you might of had..... ;)

You're right Bb. I should probably do that, but I have too many stocks at the moment and am having difficulty monitoring them all, plus potential investment opportunities, plus market sensitive news, plus ex-divi dates, plus... plus... plus. This is partly due to moving pretty much all of my cash out of savings into stocks and also having other things to do which have taken my attention. Need to focus more!

Been a great trading stock over the last few months .

re - Been a great trading stock over the last few months .

Yes that is true, but things have change recently, you have noticed the tech bubble talk and up and down and stay down nowdays of share price

So guys be carefull now

WELL there is a new strategy across the pond, and that is ..... they are no longer chasing high-growth stocks and instead they want solid large-cap dividend-paying companies.

good luck

Have taken a punt as the share price reached 60.50p 3 times for the last couple days and bouncing from there.

again today as the order book get stronger on the bid side once more.

at least this choice of yours has good volumes and a real price - i.e. not a fraction of 1p! :-)

that said, L2 currently shows 1.5m to 4.0m bid/offer, which i would not have thought was frightfully encouraging

The share price is not going sky high by the depth of the order book at the moment

but maybe you fail to have a closer look as the large amount of the 4m at offer,
there are very large trades on the range of 72 to 79p, far away from the 61.50p now offer price.
The lowest MM is at 63.50p also

you're right that i did not scroll down, but having done so i note that there are still some fairly chunky lumps on offer much closer to home and also little buying interest

anyway, i shall observe with interest and wish you luck

MONIF doing well on the OTC as there is plenty of buying for the last 30 minutes
