Around 10 January there was new interest in this share, slow but positive. Over the last few weeks there has been steady buying in, with only a bit of selling, quite unusual. I sold what I had a few days ago never thinking it would reach the 5p'ish level. Yes another blunder, but happy to recoup some of my original input from way back. I would of hung in, but the way the market is at present with no news that I could find about TAD. Suspect there is insider news and day trippers noticed the rising volume. Last time it made a big jump it was Pump and Dump about 18 months ago. Perhaps Peter Bonder is pulling the right strings!

Biofuels Corporation also raised its forecast for how much money it will need to fund the group’s growth between April and December this year. It had said in December that it would need £10 million. However, it now believes that the funding requirement will be between £16 million and £25 million. The group said its banks, with whom it remains in talks, were proving supportive. The shares closed down 11½p at 12¼p.

Joe Bolger Nearly half of the stock market value of Biofuels Corporation was wiped out yesterday after the green fuels group gave warning that rising raw materials costs and softer fuel prices would result in weak profits. The company said its figures for the year to March 31 would be materially lower than expectations because of a squeeze on profit margins. It said it would need to borrow more from its banks for the year. Continuing strength in the price of vegetable oils and methanol, both used to make biofuels, has combined with weakness in the price of biodiesel, which follows movements in oil prices, to result in “unsustainable” margins, the group said. The company first cautioned of a narrowing in margins in December, when it took the decision to limit new contracts to those that offered “acceptable” margins. Yesterday the company said that output would remain low for the immediate future. It reiterated its expectation of an improvement in margins in the run-up to April next year, when the Government will introduce the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation. It will require fuel retailers to include a proportion of biofuels in the fuels they sell, potentially increasing demand in the sector. The price of raw materials, including soya and rapeseed oil, has been bolstered by rising demand from the biofuels sector. Biofuels Corporation also raised its forecast for how much money it will need to fund the group’s growth between April and D

London Asia is pleased to announce that it has created a new division focused on Islamic finance, which has reached agreement for the establishment of the Islamic Financial Services Institution (“IFSI”) in Western China, which will provide financial services and products to China’s estimated 20 million Muslims. The new division, 40% owned by London Asia and 60% owned by the management team, is headed by Abrahim Ma Maozong. It will bring together under one team all of the activities undertaken by London Asia in Islamic finance, including: several initiatives in the Middle East; the agreement announced last month to create a new fund management company to launch the new West China High Growth Fund; and London Asia’s Brunei business, which last month announced that it had received authorisation as one of only a handful of foreign fund managers in the Kingdom of Brunei Darussalam.

May be an idea to find another thread. For sure, think we were all hoping to see the FTSE back in the green today. Any ideas for a new space are welcome.

sparkyA1 I have watched RCG's movements since the SP WAS 35P. Early 2006 I bought in @ 40p. Thought they would reach 100p in just a matter of time. This week they hit 155p'ish on the good results. I purchased more @ 110p on 28 Feb' knowing the results would be excellent. That is why I posted the Reminder for the Prelims. On previous and current form I would consider RCG will reach 200p by the year end. This is only my view I'm in for the long haul. This Investment for me, has made up for several bad choices in the past. I'm sure most of us have been there. Good luck

Just for the record received an email late yesterday that RDS is worth buying. Last Paragraph: Revenues should grow to £3 million this year, climbing a further 10% in 2008 to £3.3 million. We expect the company to record profits of £100,000 in the current year rising to £400,000 next year. On a zero tax charge, that puts the stock on a PE of 21.4 for 2007, falling to 6.8 in 2008 assuming a tax charge of 15%. Strip out the cash and the stock is trading on an ex-cash PE of 4. Red Squared has no debts and therefore has an enterprise value of £1.4 million. A realistic valuation for an IT services company on AIM, we believe is 15 times earnings and on that basis, we should see the shares hit 16.5p over the course of the coming year. Buy. Give it some DYOR.

THOUGHT FOR TUESDAY 13TH MARCH 2007 From MALCOLM STACEY Hail fellow Crazies, The Footsie is stuck. That's surprising with the Dow gradually getting back to speed, the big profits announced daily by British firms and the number of takeover plans in the UK. The take-over stories are looking more like fact than fantasy for a change. This old punter strongly suspects that the Sainsbury (SBRY.L) thing will happen - at at least £6 a pop. The Boots (AB.L) war will fester nicely to the advantage of Crazies like us. And the battling over big shops will no doubt spin over to other shops, both large and small - like Debenhams (DEB.L), Laura Ashley (ALY.L) and Instore (INST.L). These are only a few store chains, which have been bubbling away in the rumours pot for some time. At one stage in Crazyland, I used to make most of my really big profits from investing penny shares and then waiting patiently for them to become £1 shares. I still do that of course (RC Group (RCG.L) is my latest success). But my biggest windfalls in the last couple of years have been take-overs of the giants, like BAA and Corus (CS.L). And with take-over fever as strong as it is now, well I'm expecting to have lots of cake to eat the coming few months. Rock on! sharecrazy. com

Thought yoo already were Glue!

16-Feb-07 Altium Capital Buy 57.50p TARGET 75.00p - Reiteration

Sold because the SP has dropped since 19 Feb' No real interest of late. No problems that I know, and still a good outfit just had a bad vibe. It will probably go up now.

Glue you are a brave man and wish you good luck, this is worth a punt with the current drop. If it works you'll be laughing.

RC Group (Holdings) Limited 13 March 2007 The issuer has advised that the following amendment has been made to the preliminary results announcement released yesterday under RNS number 7153S at 7.00am. In the eighth paragraph of the Financial Review the dividend record date is 6 July 2007 and not 9 July 2007, as previously stated. 12 March 2007 RC GROUP (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

Good choice.

Had Vindon on the watchlist for some time. Not alot of activity until Friday and yesterda, up circa 3.25p / 17.33% over these two days. On 06 Sep 2006 VDN stated higher trading margins pushed profits higher during the first half. The prelim's to 31 Dec' 06 will be published on 20 March '07. Should see some further progress there. Has some really good clients on its books.

Rumour of the day Clyde Process Solutions, the materials handling group set up by Scottish tycoon Jim McColl, is understood to be sounding out investors about raising acquisition funds. One rumoured target is InterBulk Investments — an AIM-listed tank containers company also created by Mr McColl. Clyde shares have been suspended for a month while it works on a deal to buy US peer MAC.
