Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Got out and it dropped 2 points, but expect more drops. Its more of a gamble with this share than anything else. Moving on to something more reliable. Lots more that are predictable to make a few quid from, rather than be unsure here. By the way I bought at 48p been up to 1.68 and got out, back in at low 20s, went down to 14p and now out at 91p Good luck if you stay in.
Sold as think this may nose dive again. They seem to have hovered, gone up a bit, back a bit but no real movement, except downwards over the months ! Thought it time to play safe. Good luck everyone.

FULL STORY LINK http://www.multichannel.com/article/453729-Comcast_New_Way_on_Tru2way.php Comcast is gearing up to test its next major set-top box platform before the end of 2010 — and it’s not being built by either Motorola or Cisco Systems. Instead, the largest U.S. operator looked beyond the so-called cable technology “duopoly,” awarding the contract to Pace, a set-top manufacturer based in the United Kingdom, according to two industry executives familiar with the project. The Pace box will use the Intel Media Processor CE 3100, the system-on-a-chip previously code-named Kenmore, the sources said, representing a major win for Intel’s ambitions in the cable space.

I keep reading about rumours of Apple's interest in ARM, but think more so someone like Microsoft may jump in and buy, to fend of Apple. As Apple are now bigger than Microsoft, it would give Microsoft a good earner and rub Apples nose in it if they bought ARM. Hope they do, either way ARM will soar !!!!!

The 8 analysts offering 12 month price targets for Pace Plc (PIC:LSE) have a median target of 270.00, with a high estimate of 290.00 and a low estimate of 230.00. The median estimate represents a 68.75% increase from the last price of 160.00.
Pace quickens as it takes global lead in set-top boxes Nic Fildes Recommend Pace has unseated Motorola to become the world’s biggest maker of set-top boxes. The company, based in Saltaire, near Leeds, recorded a 31 per cent increase in shipments last year to leapfrog Motorola and Technicolor, formerly Thomson, to take the No 1 spot. Moreover, IMS Research, the consumer electronics analysis provider, said that it expected Pace to cement its position at the top of the market this year after it signed deals with pay-TV operators to supply high-definition receivers in the Benelux region and in Malaysia. The set-top box market grew by more than 15 per cent last year, despite the economic downturn. Pace shipped 17.2 million units last year, while Motorola and Technicolor reported double-digit declines. Pace’s sales exceeded £1 billion for the first time.
“ For 2010, IMS Research expects Pace to remain in the top ranking position due to its recent announcements of HD roll outs for Benelux satellite operator M7 Group and Malaysian satellite operator ASTRO, in addition to its large contract agreements with DirecTV, UPC and Viasat.”
20 MAY 2010 - The UK’s first Freeview+ HD PVR hits the shelves Sleek Philips HDT8520, designed by Pace, set to be one of the summer’s hottest tech buys Philips HDT8520, designed by Pace, is the first Freeview+ HD PVR (Personal Video Recorder) to be available in the UK. The Philips HDT8520 PVR will enable viewers to watch TV, including every game from this summer's World Cup, in stunning high definition. It is currently the only Freeview HD device that will allow you to record the World Cup action. The box provides great value access to the superior sound and picture quality of Freeview HD services for a one-off price, without the need for a monthly subscription. With a striking design integrating a lighting feature, the low-energy device enables viewers to record and play back their favourite shows, as well as pause or rewind live TV. It comes equipped with a 500GB hard drive, giving up to 250 hours of recording time in standard definition (SD), or up to 125 hours of native HD content. The PVR boasts all the useful recording features such as one-touch recording, series recording, a 3-hour buffer for time shifting and two tuners, meaning viewers can watch one programme while recording another. It has also been developed to operate almost silently, avoiding the whirring noise so often associated with recording devices. The HDT8520 looks set to be one of the hottest tech buys of the summer - particularly for football fans, who can now watch and record the World Cup action in stunning high definition without a payTV subscription. The box is packed with features so consumers can easily enjoy all the benefits of Freeview HD, with automatic installation and channel update, 1080p HD up-scaling, and Ethernet ports for enhanced connectivity. All Philips "Designed by Pace" set-top boxes are manufactured to a rigorous set of guidelines, which go beyond the EU regulations to minimise environmental impact. For instance, the Freeview+ HD PVR has an energy consumption of just 15W in active mode, well below the industry norm. The Philips HDT8520 goes on sale today at a recommended retailing price of £299 from high-street retailers John Lewis, DSGi (Currys), Comet, Tesco and Richer Sounds, online at Amazon, and at hundreds of independent retailers throughout the UK.

Directers buying £25k worth at 190p a each, they know something we don't ? Topping up again is a good idea now.
Deny of selling seemed more like bragging of how good they really are ! I still think theres possible take over, as the price has crept back up a little already. Either way I can see these at £3 -4 if not even higher.
