Before expenses Outsourcery raised £13m from their floatation in which 35% of the company was sold. The UK market has been starved of IPO’s in the technology sector in recent years, with just four last year. This year 3 other Technology companies have raised a total of £2.7m on AIM, therefore Outsourcery’s IPO is a major one. PL is confident that its new listed status will enable Outsourcery to win more global clients. The company is also one of the four finalists for Microsoft’s worldwide Server Platform Partner of the Year 2013 award.

This has been raised before, please see my post at 00.08 on Wednesday. I agree that Coms will probably outperform Out, but you never put all your eggs in one basket. "Ask yourself, Why are Black Rock and a Soros Fund building up such large holdings in Out? With the greatest respect, their investment managers will have far more investment expertise than us.

Baker With OUT being so new to AIM, I imagine that most PI's have not even heard of it yet..Like COMS I guess it will only hit the radar of the masses when they announce a really high value contract win. I was a bit younger than your dad in 1975 but still owned one pair of platforms.

I'd heard the name but had no idea just how big they are. If this buying by II's continues, the amount left for us PI's is going to be seriously squeezed.

Good to have you back, when you get a moment, have a read of my earlier comment on the OUT BB.

Has no one noticed that 3 Separate RNS's were released today? 11.43am - Black Rock Inc have a holding of 9.14% http://www.investegate.co.uk/outsourcery-plc--out-/rns/holding-s--in-company/201305311143300176G/ 11.47am - Black Rock Smaller Companies Trust PLC have a holding of 3.08% http://www.investegate.co.uk/outsourcery-plc--out-/rns/holding-s--in-company/201305311147590178G/ 11.49am - Black Rock UK Smaller Companies Fund have a holding of 3.42% http://www.investegate.co.uk/outsourcery-plc--out-/rns/holding-s--in-company/201305311149420181G/ So in total Black Rock already have a holding of 15.64% - Quite substantial. I am sure that if more folks were aware of this then the SP would have advanced considerably today. Give it time. But just who are Black Rock? According to Wikipedia - BlackRock, Inc. is a multinational investment management corporation based in New York City. As the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock is a leading provider of investment, advisory, and risk management solutions. The company acquired Barclays Global Investors in December 2009, solidifying its position as the largest investment manager in the world. As of September 30, 2012, BlackRock has $3.67 trillion in assets under management. Founded in 1988, initially offering fixed income products, BlackRock has since evolved into a prominent financial vehicle. According to Ralph Schlosstein, CEO of Evercore Partners, a New York-based investment bank: “BlackRock today is one of, if not the most influential financial institution in the world”. Yet somehow Black Rock see the benefit of owning almost a sixth of little Outsourcery, I very much doubt that they did this without a lot of background research. Add to this the other II's that have already taken stakes and PI's have every reason to be confident in the future.

Any placing at the current price will mean a lot of dilution. they are going to need to get some good news out there to lift the SP before any fundraising. If they had done it at £3+ they would have been in a strong position. I can't see this returning to £1 but perhaps to around 140p

The partnership contract with Virgin Media a company with a M/Cap of £13.5 billion is indeed very significant and is a statement of intent as to where this business is going. A steady rise here will suite me fine.

Of to work with a smile on my face, every Cloud has a silver lining :@)

No wonder the II's have been building up their holding here. Of course they would have had no idea that this contract was in the pipeline. I wonder if this BB will get any busier today? Who knows we may even see Riddler over here?

Good to see you over here, have you got into OUT yet

I'm up and very excited. RNS - 3 year Virgin Contract http://www.investegate.co.uk/outsourcery-plc--out-/rns/partnership-agreement/201305300700098492F/ Not bad within the first week of their float. Expecting a higher opening today.

Thanks for your input. As in every sector there will be winners and losers and having an experienced BoD is clearly essential to steer the company in the right direction. I'm quietly confident that we have that here and at Coms. Would appreciate your thoughts on Coms also.

A placing at 240p - 260p now looks out of the question, perhaps 140p - 160p is closer to the mark?

With Coms and Outsourcery, who are in the same Cloud Formation, doing so well, it seems odd that SNTY is heading the opposite way. Are people switching to Coms and Out or is there another reason for the fall. Coms had a placing 2 weeks ago but has rebounded strongly helped by some positive RNS's. Any placing here could see the SP fall to close to the placing price before bouncing. This is starting to look cheap but could get cheaper still. For sure there is a bounce coming but at what price. Perhaps Dibs has a suggestion?

http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=TRK&ArticleCode=u5ps7975&ArticleHeadline=Final_Results All good news guys, SP heading north.

Please read the summary on http://www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom/posts.php?tid=17352#lastread Indeed they have spent a lot of money in laying the foundations of the company and are establishing Market Leadership in the UK. A company will often have to make a big outlay in order to position themselves to be successful. This is clearly what they have done. The previous loss is history, it is all about where they go from here. Clearly institutional investors have confidence and are taking large stakes in the company.

Looks like a very good decision, especially in the light of today's very late RNS. This BB is so different to EVO, just a select few here at the moment, but I am confident that will soon change I'm surprised that MF has not ventured here yet, I'm sure it won't be long. For sure, it if far better to be in OUT than out of OUT. As a cricketer would say, get in, stay in and make sure that you are not out.

Quantum Partners LP have taken an 8.26% holding in Outsourcery. Who are they? A Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("Quantum Partners"). SFM UK Management LLP, a sub-advisor to Soros Fund Management LLC. http://www.investegate.co.uk/outsourcery-plc--out-/rns/holding-s--in-company/201305281703047262F/ So pleased I topped up earlier.

Doubled my holding here today. Should really have bought more last Friday but still got an average of 130p.
