I agree re decimal point , I'm sure it should read $5.2million.

I am the opposite, I have greatly reduced my position but wish I had a few more. I reduced my position because of factors external to this share. I can say that Rory Stear is still hoping for a satisfactory outcome before the court case, I have no idea if that will happen obviously but they are using a mediator. Also the web site launch early October says that they may now have a business to shout about with new contracts etc. Why don't you see if there is a bit more buying to push sp up and reduce your position then, you may also find that you are better selling lower amounts to get a better price. I asked for a quote on 100,00 and got offered 1.25, I told them to leave it, bid was showing 1.4 or 1.5 at the time. Since then they are more keen to get stock.

Are you still about? I should have posted here for you.... Had communication with R.Stear, court case adjourned till end of sept, hoping to reach a satisfactory conclusion before hand. New website launch early oct. G.L.

Is the market sleeping on this one or have I mis read todays rns? Wakey, wakey!

I have to say that this is actually looking quite strong. I do hope it's an indication to a deal being struck but you never know. G.L. Guys.

Crazy. I was a bit gutted this morning and thinking I'll just tuck them away. My new average is 36p and I never expected this to happen. G.L.

LOL. I like that... 'I guess & rumours a gamble just like my life' Just a rumour, I spend my days thinking that with the odds of reason at least one of them has to pay off. G.L. to you.

from a post on ADVFN: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/markets/article-23966467-qinetiq-shoots-up-as-talk-of-transatlantic-suitor-hits-the-city.do "Sportingbet ticked up 2p to 57p on chatter that Ladbrokes will make an improved offer for the online betting group this weekend. Bosses of the two companies are said to be haggling over price, but 85p a share was mooted today as a compromise. "We could have an announcement on Monday and Tuesday," said one optimistic trader. "

I seen on another site that someone said we're looking at a small extention. Hopefully they will update that information to Market either today/ tomorrow.

I let a few go in lot of 1000's just to get rid. Too many people selling and to tell you the truth didn't know where it would end. Limits changing though as at one point I sold 3,000 in one go. Just depends when you catch it. G.L.

You are correct, can't buy online but can sell atm.

Really feel for a lot of people who just got stung in WET. It's one thing to see a share in your portfolio drop 40% but a lot of people just bought in over the last couple of days and that must be hard. There but for the grace of God I traded it yesterday and was just watching today. It was too difficult to get out yesterday and that told me something. It will probably come good eventually but not before fund raising. I hope none of you guys got caught.

Evening moosh, I hope all is well with you. I am invested in VAL, a recent investment at an sp not too far away from todays. A decent read being April 2011 presentation. http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/genera/files/sponsor_files/valirx_plcapril11.pptx With an investors presentation on 18th May. http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/register/event_details/110 I would think that pro active will have a follow up on this. Moosh, given your old profession do you have any comments on VAL as an investment at current prices?

Yes, a great way to raise funds. Thank you for passing on your comment, unfortunately I don't hold a large number but I am very happy with the news. I am pleased that you bought more on that basis and I trust you will make a handsome return. I am most impressed in the fact that the ceo took time to contact a small P.I. and listen to her concerns. The information that he gave me (although vague) was spot on and I would put trust in him in running MBW, he certainly seems a man of his word, quite rare in these markets. Good luck for today.

An interesting analysis. I certainly don't claim to know all the ins and outs of how such dealings can affect the market but what I know is that on opening tomorrow these shares are still in tight hands, there is not an influx of excess to flood the market. Even the preference shares if agreed will be in tight hands as they go to 'selected new investors'. Tomorrow should be good. :-)

Really pleased with todays news. Be interesting to see how the sp behaves tomorrow. G.L.

Yes, that's me. It's not meant to deceive, it's just when I signed up to ADVFN I didn't know at the time it was customary to keep your tag across sites. Just back in from 10 pin bowling, a pity the little rise that started couldn't be sustained. I'll just be waiting in the hope that positive newsflow comes, no guarantee but fingers crossed.

News will be coming very soon. A circular is in the hands of lawyers and results are due. Had a call from CEO today as I was struggling to contact them. He appreciates that things have been quiet but information will be forthcoming, I believe lots has been happening behind the scenes. Obviously I don't know if updates are positive as he only stated information will be coming. He stated that he was positive abot the new managing directors roll. I thought he sounded fairly upbeat but obviously that counts for nothing. Hope that helps a little.

Yes, this has been experiencing good rises lately. It was one of my very first purchases. I have them on certificate with an average of around 1.4p I think. I had great expectations back then, now I would be pleased to see 1.4p come back, treat myself to an ipad or something of more interest than a few certificates. LOL. I don't follow it closely, it's just on my monitor but I think they may be starting to get a foot in the american markets. Computer software for treating depression so quite a lucritive market, they were doing okay here with contracts but I think the goverment had made cuts to some of them.
