Would you expect them to issue an RNS for every new product? Surely not.

Never saw it that low, when was that? First saw it summer 09, and I dont recall seeing you comment until a long time later. Doesnt matter anyway.

Oh dear, totally misconstrued. Big myself up? Dont think so, I just comment on what I see, and I do not follow anyone's research anywhere. It is useful of course, but not necessary. I "got" Fruitflow long before you appeared, but realised it would be a long road. Longer than any of us thought as it turned out. I "got" SiS from the time of acqusition, whereas some saw it as a bad move. It will always be arguable whether it should have been acquired, but fact is it was, and with the intention of adding shareholder value. Maybe this is the stage where that value comes the way of holders, it is looking that way at this moment. But at the end of the day, it will be as a result of market sentiment not what anyone writes on a chat board IMHO

Know what you mean, but having the funds is about being sensible with a pf, I wouldnt be all in anywhere ever If folks have been all in since then, and havent generated further funds over that time, then I would suggest that their level of risk to saving capability isnt right. Thats just my opinion though, each to his or her own. I nicked a chunk out of BARC, and sold out of SXX, both at very nice profit., in order to buy what I thought was an exceptional opportunity. You were advising folks not to buy, and making mathematical equations that simply do not exist in a market, so your caution presumable cost you, whereas my calcs benefitted me. That the market, and dont think for a moment I get it right all the time, I sure dont.

And some had a good old buy up when there was an offer of a share here for each hundred there, and some are glad they did.

Easy to suggest that those who sold SiS shares immediately tool the cash over to PXS, but it isnt true is it. Far more sells here than buys there. Assumptions are fine, but this one was easily checkable. The claim that RJM has more wealthy chums than AH is just conjecture, and matters not a jot unless they spread some of their wealth in the direction of a share. they are rich lads and have totally differing views than the average joe. Comparing SiS profits in a period of growth expenditure with more mature brands is dangerously misleading too. Spending for the future is what is needed, not bottom line at this stage IMHO. The fact that they take such a small percentage of total uK sales shouts out potential, not failure IMHO

Who the devil is following anyones investment strategy?

As Maninshed posted earlier, Ask isnt Ask at the moment. Read in to that what you will, but it is fairly obvious. Add in to that more publicity leading to more demand. If shares remain tightly held from here on, a very interesting scenario develops IMHO Of course Mr H isnt buying to trade on a whim, a business case has been put before him, and he has acumen a plenty. There is no comparison with Provexis, where it is very obvious that there was an expectation from all corners for progress to be much quicker than t has been. Mr MrK and many others backed a project in its infancy, whereas this is a company on a growth path. Different beasts. IMHO

Well yes, of course you believe that, you clearly laid out your strategy weeks ago, based on specific events causing dips, and breaking news causing spikes. It is a strategy that many folks on these boards plan out ahead of time, effectively banking their profits in their heads long before they materialise. There was selling last week, so your scenario could have played out, that it didnt is obviously down to Mr H asking his broker to buy a certain amount of shares, thereby scuppering chances of a dip. The "spike" news may well have provided the flip side surge in sp, except that one would have to be a holder when that happened because clearly it isnt liquid enough to dive in and buy on Ask. So the best laid plans are only plans.

Fair enough to hold opposing views, but clearly what is happening is the broadening of appeal to investors. Sports related buyers may well have overlooked SiS when it was part of Provexis, but can now see it anew in its own right. Ambitious expansion plans and ever growing reputation represents a compelling investment case. Yes I know, finance will be required over and above that raised during the demerger,, I stood apart from most in stating that growing companies need cash all the way through. However, there are plenty of ways to raise it without dilution and without necessarily dipping the sp. Its all about confidence for the future, of which there is plenty. IMHO

Wow, they must have been giggling when the easrly sellers let them have shares back. Such a short time ago, but now feels like a totally different prospect here, buyers clamouring for shares. Bring it on !!

It isnt just rich Richard who may be looking IMHO. Loads of dosh floating around pro sports, with financial advisers looking for places to invest megabucks earnings. We know loads of elite folks use the stuff, presumably because they believe it is the best. What better endorsement?

Bet he was grateful to the sellers, because if more had taken the long view and held, he would have had to pay considerably more IMHO, as would anyone else seeking a piece of this action. This should underscore the selling and give confidence to those remaining that this is a good investment. If Mr Harpin judges that this has potential, it surely has to give the rest of us a lot of reassurance.

Strikes me that this bloke may wish to get hands on at some point, a bit more business nous to add to the existing abilities would be no bad thing IMHO. Wouldnt surprise me to see one or more of the sports stars get involved too.

Now we have a name to the trades. Question is, has he done with his buys, or does he want more? Asshur, would you think it best if, as you have stated you have no interest here, you had better keep future thoughts to the other board? Being controversial clearly has limits IMHO.

You're right of course. We invested an amount of money, and the value of the combined holding gives us an idea where we are, as you say we're considerably better off post demerger. The newsflow here should be excellent, and can be judged on its merits unlike before when it got confused and distorted by the Fruitflow story. Big name sponsorships, expansion in to new markets, rising production levels, and a lot more good news to come IMHO. Getting SIS noticed in its own right is great IMHO, and should be beneficial for holders. Provexis has an equal chance of success, or more if the really big ones happen. A win win? Only time will tell. ATVB

If it was the case that all the small sells were taking their cash back over to PXS, there would be an equivalent number of buys over there. There ism't. So that theory doesnt hold up to scrutiny. Fact is, that 200,000 buyer soaked all of the tddly sells up. Whoever it is , do they want more?

Second last trade shown is one from the 14th at 10 in the morning, a buy of £129, 250. That might answer those who wonder why the little sells didnt dip the sp. That is a major amount, and presuades me that the sellers could regret their haste. I am thinking that the management have cash to spend, and the urge to move things along rapidly. Time will tell, but after one week of trading this is one happy holder.

I really think that these retaliatory tactics by the SCLP gang, organised and captained by one poster, are against the spirit of the rules. They are separate companies, each with their own merits and risks. This one has not been uber ramped, the other ....... Yellow cards called for IMHO

Getting a wiggle on this week, glad I increased my holding on recent lows. Next update not that far off, and I would expect a lot more interest to be shown here once dividends are initiated.
