I wouldn't worry as the outlook is very good confirmed by director confidence. I think the legacy seller is a 'stale' holder who needs liquidity as its not an institution. Probably held since the original Porta days 2011 and prepared to sell down for whatever personal reasons. Its certainly not a sign of anything more imo and will just mean that the upswing is more pronounced when he/she is finished. Annoying, but gives those who have done the research a last opportunity to top up.

Bang on the nail going into Spring 2015. Lots of upside to come imo from this level.

£40k buy vote of confidence. Smack on the button.

This £126m MCap really should be more highly rated as the reverse takeover of Hangar8 by Gama gives real business traction. The merger enthusiasm in December and JV with Hutchinson Whampoa that ignited interest in January have disipated but the fundamentals haven't changed. This was an excellent merger giving greater geographical coverage for two slick operations with good management. £4.00 is easily achievable this year as the JV kicks in from Q2 2015 - that gives a nice little 33% turn. Sounds good to me.

Nice increase in share volume recently plus escalating price makes me think very positive things concerning the US system sale[s] contracts. Management had anticipated they would be signed before year end December, hence the pull-back. The underlying business is cranking up nicely judging by the 135 billion virtual credits I mentioned before but the real elephant in the room is a system sale [or two] which whaps up the eps astronomivcally. The huge interest in virtual gaming is a great prelude to convincing buyers re system sales so I think this is a foregone conclusion; just a matter of taking a stake here and waiting - I doubt the patience will be too extended.

David is an extremely accomplished CEO. Having established and built Citygate and Incepta he has a wealth of experience on which to call at this crucial time in the Porta growth cycle. Everything has come together at once as we exit cash-burn and transition to strong growth. Cometh the hour cometh the man. David will certainly not let investors down.

With 7million shares traded, mainly buys, and the price rising strongly from the double bottom at 6.8/7 we should now see a sustained rerate. With All the new Newgate team under one roof at Sky Light Tower, the synergies will start to escalate for a strong 2015. A good PR campaign for Porta starting with a maiden broker note from Sanlam and increased audience exposure bodes well for the shareprice and hence MCap.

For Sanlam to publish its maiden broker notes and buy recommendation. Should make really good reading given the two excellent end-of-year acquisitions and strong trading update.

The BLU contract is a significant win for Publicasity and should allow interdepartmental opportunities at Porta HQ. Sure this will be the first of many announcements under the corporate umbrella.

Feb 12th PR Week - Electronic cigarette company Blu has appointed Publicasity, part of Porta Communications, to handle its UK trade communications. Publicasity will develop a campaign to educate retailers about Blu and drive distribution of the brand. Blu is one of the largest and electronic cigarette brands in the UK. http://www.prweek.com/article/1333555/electronic-cigarette-company-blu-hires-publicasity-uk-trade-comms

That quarter of a million buy is some vote of confidence at £137.5k! Expect news pretty soon then........

624913 was definitely a buy timed at 10.07 this morning........ Nice. Looking very good for next week.

PPS is the key that is going to unlock the huge potential for Porta in 2015 working with Newgate http://www.ppsgroup.co.uk/

Hi jolly - we broke 8p at 13.16 today when it crept 8.09s/8.13b. IMO its only a matter of time till the ceiling here caves in and we head strongly up. Porta has gap-jumped several times in the past and I'm a history-repeats fan. The fundamentals for a higher price get stronger with every news release and the interview was as clear an indication as possible that cash-burn is behind us moving into 2015. The intrinsic value of the Australian business alone underpins the share price at this level given its continuing growth. Now that PPS and Publicasity are centralised in London we should see much greater exposure to a wider audience. PPS has the right street cred in the right place as a first rate communications consultancy with a raft of blue-chip reusers. I really cannot see the current glass ceiling holding this down, it is far too proactive a share now we have critical mass. We have a very, very capable CEO who does not do a 'Rob Terry' - he quietly and confidently shows the results and lets them speak for themselves; that is why he is so highly respected by those who have joined his growing business.

Hi alw51, there has been a legacy seller for some months. Pretty sure its not an insto - I am assuming that its one of the pre-Porta directors involved in 2010/2011 - no longer active but selling down for personal/financial reasons. The sooner he clears his holding,which must be very, very close imo, the greater the chance of a gap-jump. I listed the various prices that David Wright had paid for his shares and it averages out at 9.2p from the inception of Porta the marcoms group. The biggest reassurance in Porta is that shares have never been issued below par 10p for acquisitions and David sees no reason to change that [check the latest excellent interview with Proactive that I highlighted earlier]. The quality of the earnings stream is excellent moving into 2015 as he openly expresses that we have transitioned from cash-burn to cash generative. Agree this is a five star growth stock and promotion to a wider audience will certainly enhance the shareprice and by extension, the ability of David to move into France and expand China. Looking very strong, especially as the London team gels and cross-sells.

Couldn't agree more. We hit nearly 20p last year when the start-ups were in their infancy. We've since added some really good acquisitions with strong earnings streams for 2015. Newgate and Redleaf are streaking ahead with the Australian ops now worth the whole of our MCap according to the CEO. The excellent trading update where our fee income is soaring, has focused attention on Porta. We now have analysts looking at just how darned good the keenly priced purchases of PPS and Publicasity actually were. We not only got their excellent entrepreneurial founders on board [accepting shares at par 10p] but added £1.25m pro-forma profit to the coffers for 2015. That really was a brilliant acquisition strategy and David Wright waited 9 months to stalk them and secure the price and the prize. Added to the team at HQ they are very complementary with PPS coming on board at at the best possible pre-election time to use its skills and contacts. The mood, I am informed, is very very upbeat and the enthusiasm of the combined teams could not be in a better sector. 2015 looks strong - 2016 looks phenomenal as the Instos pile in and push the price higher. This will be self-fulfilling in that we can then increase our growth in Paris and China at the right price. The CEO and FD have repeatedly shown their financial awareness in not debt-funding any acquisition that does not become strongly earnings positive and pay-back within 3 years. Strong, seasoned and trusted BoD with a focused team growing far faster than its rivals. The move to a centralised head office in London cost us £1m and we also have to disengage the legacy LLP structure, but the benefits and earnings should far outstrip these overheads in 2015 and 2016 looks very good indeed. We have all the makings of a £50m plus MCap 2015 rising to £100m in 2016.

Is that it doesn't stick to the 7am RNS rule...............it can come right out of the blue as the NY stock exchange wakes up. Remember that GAME has an impeccable record operating only in regulated domains; that sets it apart in the eyes of US regulators and the market is 'immense' and on the brink of getting the green light. We are in pole position in the biggest racetrack on the planet. 2015 looks rather good in my opinion.

For the signature on the expected system sale[s] and BOOM. The sale will absolutely transform both sentiment and shareprice in a single stroke. Add that to the 135 billion virtual credits wagered with GameAccount online in the USA gaming arena and this has all the ingredients of a U235 container reaching critical mass.

Buys outnumbering sells 30 to 1 at full ask. MM's will start to run low on stock after last couple of days so the bid should start to respond quickly and chase the ask up.

The legacy seller has run out of stock to cover the huge buying interest now developing as institutional buyers realise what a gem this is for 2015 and 2016. No smoke, no mirrors, just quiet competence from a seasoned team with shared interests in share price increase. We are in the process of creating the fuel for future growth and the big boys just have to come on board or miss out. The 10k and 20k buys are becoming 50k and 100k buys - tuck some away and enjoy the incline.
