Dear me, shadowdancer looks like you know very little about your topic. First this stock has risen on growth prospects /profits over 18 months NOT 18 hours or18 days.!!! Second this stock is priced at £3.70p not 3.7p.
Pump and dump schemes may take place on the Internet using chat rooms and bulitin boards, Often the shares promoter will claim to have "inside" information about impending news. Newsletters may purport to offer unbiased recommendations, then tout a company as a "hot" shares, for their own benefit. Promoters post messages in these chat rooms or message boards urging readers to buy the shares quickly. If a promoter's campaign to "pump" a share is successful, it will entice unwitting investors to purchase shares of the target company. The increased demand, price, and trading volume of the shares may convince more people to believe the hype, and to buy shares as well. When the promoters behind the scheme sell (dump) their shares and stop promoting the stock, the price plummets, and other investors are left holding stock that is worth significantly less than what they paid for it. Frequently they use this ploy with small, thinly traded companies—known as "penny shares,"because it is easier to manipulate a share when there is little or no independent information available about the company this principle applies in the United Kingdom, where target companies are typically small companies on the AIM or OFEX.

Prey tell my precious, and I'll make you a coffee in the morning.
It is a top stock IMHO..... Although I know another one about to start fireworks!
Is this still the share of the year, or can you see any others at perhaps a less advanced stage?
I should have bought when you highlighted it about a month ago, well done here.
NEWSFLASH: READ THE LINK FIRST.!!! http://www.publishingtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Publishing-Technology_CNP-eReading-launch_FINAL.pdf "China remains a powerhouse, but the market is closed off to from many foreign companies as a result of government restrictions. “Just three or four companies are licensed to import e-books in China,” said Lisa Liping Zang, Director of the International Department at e-publisher Cloudary, but the government is reluctant to issue a sales license to a company like Amazon out of concern that they would not be able to fully control what goes on sale. “[The foreign companies] will have to win the support of the largest print publishers and most of those are state-owned as well.” "The aim of the Digital Gateway project was to create the most significant resource for international digital content in China on the pub2web platform. Yet it quickly became apparent that there was also scope for creating a portal to export Chinese content digitally across the globe, in line with the Chinese government’s strategy. Subsequently Ingentaconnect China was born. These dual Chinese projects have grown in size, significance, ambition and potential, so much so that we now expect to make millions of international online resources available in China and vice versa, opening up new avenues of collaboration on content and culture." PTO has a market cap of just £30M That requires a profit of just £1.5M on a tax free pe of 20 [software sector] Have you any idea just how many books will go through this platform in a year of two.??? Market cap will I think be 10 times higher when some work out the growth. 60% of the market: 1.3BN pop .
When a company director sells shares, the market tends to take it as a signal that the price may be toppy. Not so PUBLISHING TECHNOLOGY. Even after the AIM company said that its finance director had sold 20,000 of them at 328p to help buy a house, they improved a further 47.5p to £3.75p. At nearly £29 Million the supplier of tech knowhow to the publishing industry was never valued more highly.
Just paid 391p to top up but getting hold of PTO stock is not that easy

Be so kind and take a look at page 34 of the PTO accounts. Vista makes £3.2M profit a year, [Advance lost £1.5M in start up costs the Harper deal should put that at B/E this year and large profits next. Good luck .
Broker has £1.3m profit down for this year ,[ made up from the 4 divisions within PTO.] PCG [the sales side of the company] had a turnover of £2M last year, with EBITDA of £137.000. This year sales from the 4 new contracts Churchill Archive online, Drama online and two others will see that turnover and thus profits, leap. If one looks at Bloomsbury accounts for 2011 it tells investors a breakdown of the profit margins for digital sales with commission to the seller of 20% -50%. If worldwide sales of Drama and Churchill online have come in at a tiny £5M each then at a low 20% PTO would have picked up £2M. The margins from those products alone could be enough to hit the brokers forecast. Then add on Huge Rand D saving of not far off £1M in a full year. The R and D tax refund from 2012 say £300,000 The growth of the Advance Software sales The growth of the Pub2web sales The debt reduction to Zero by Jan 2014 My view is brokers forecast will be smashed.
