Understand your worries; felt the same myself. Had set a stop loss a while ago at 25p, but didn't renew it. Turned out the low sp was an opportunity to buy. We need to feel comfortable with our holdings; if not sell to the degree that we are with what we have left...........if any. Fundamentals are good. Regards CM

45-50p would do me nicely too Hugh. Just pleased to have seen it tick up over the last week. Had wondered if I should have picked some up at around 23p, but felt more comfortable sitting on what I have, bought at around 29-30p. Fundamentals are still good. Good luck CM

Makes me think how I can get David Schwartz to write a positive account for my holdings in SOU, FRR, TMZ QPP and RNO!!. Actually, he has written two articles in the past re. RNO, so just the other 4 would be good. Held off buying, waiting for a possible retrace. May happen. Good luck folks. Regards CM

I rarely buy the F.T these days; I can't afford it; but if I can I try to read DS column. He raises some interesting issues and gives a slant on companies it would be difficult and time consuming to get elsewhere; more of a short cut really to further investigation on companies I may not have considered or fogotten about. Not all of his tips work out of course, but he has a reasonable record. I think in the current climate it is good to keep a fair amount of cash and not over commit to any investment(s). Hope you are not too lonely on this bb; it seems pretty quiet. Regards CM

Expect a rise on Monday morning folks; VLK mentioned in David Schwartz column in F.T. today, Saturday. May be good for a 2-3p rise, maybe more early doors........but.........can't guarantee it. If you ARE looking to sell out fourteenhundred then you may get a better price this week. I'm not invested here......yet........but will take a closer look at the fundamentals and charts before making a decision. Good luck. Regards CM

Well.........after the fall on no news the other day, here we go..........the other way!. Heaven only knows what is going on with the markets just now. Couldn't back my confidence previously by buying more shares; it may not have worked out. Bit like being at sea at present. GLA. Regards CM

As usual, very quiet on here. A very disappointing day today, can't see any company specific reason for the fall in the sp to the degree it has fallen. This is now either falling into the category of bargain basement or basketcase; personally i think it is the former. This has got to be worth far more than sub 23p; the latest fundamentals are very good. The forecast revenue for ye 2012 is up, the pretax profit forecast massively up, the P/E ratio lower and a very low PEG of 0.1, anything under 1.0 and preferably around 0.75 is generally regarded as cheap. We could do with an update from the company but I don't expect anything in the short term. My personal questions are; 1. how much lower will the sp fall, 2. at what point do I feel confident enough to buy more into the company?. The answer to 1. is, none of know, and to 2. is wait until there is a further operation update. I would normally set a stop/loss at around 20% of my initial investment buy in price, which would take it to around 24p, which it was at this morning; but being at work I couldn't follow the movement all day and it only fell late on. However, I feel quietly confident in here although I feel we will have to wait a while before any sustained positive move takes us higher. Any other thoughts out there?; I'd be happy to hear them. Good luck all, regards CM

Hi Eldras, how you doing/, hope the weather is better where you are than here in Cumbria where there is a lot of rain, wind and flooding, flooding up to car bumper and beyond on drive home this evening!. Begining to get webbed feet with all the rain!. Understand your concern re lack of profit with this company, but to be honest there are many if not a majority of companies listed on AIM that don't make a profit and maybe never will. It seems to be funded at present and has the backing including financial from Imagination Technologies. I think there is a lot of exciting news to come out in the near future re. the plasters being used in hospitals. Having been on the wrong end of having to be wired up to machines in hospital 10 years ago I can fully appreciate the freedom these plasters will give individuals. Having been a top athlete and still keen cyclist and walker, it was difficult to keep me down and the worst thing was being restricted. There appears to be interest from hospitals in other countries too, if and when this is rolled out I believe it will have a great affect on the sp. In the immediate term, there may be a retrace, more to do with the general state of the markets. On Tuesday, you mentioned should do £1, 2 bits of news coming. Hmm, not sure about £1, would be nice, but realistically I'd settle for any gain in the present climate. But, who knows?. The future looks exciting for TMZ. Do you know of any competition out there?. Regards CM

Good evening all; new investor onboard here. Put a buy order in at 8p before setting off for work, but wasn't executed so eventually bought in at 8.7p (nothing major). From what I have read prospects look very good and there could well be more positive news in the near term. I am sure the report in the Daily Mail has helped to lift the sp today, but unlike FUM which was also tipped in the DM, there has been a rns, so I think the sp may have a better chance of holding. There are a no. of health sector company shares which look promising just now. May be worth a look at the likes of DEMG, FUM and SUN. At present I have no holding in any of the shares, so I am not trying to ramp them, but may well be worth a little research. Good luck all, regards CM

Happy new year to all on here, and lets hope it will be a healthy and prosperous one too. I'm still looking at investing here, although trying to keep some powder dry too. Seeing this is in the medical/health sector, I just thought I may mention 2 companies which may be of interest to anyone, Fortura Medical and Toumaz. I have read some interesting articles on both and prospects could be good for the year ahead. I hasten to add that as yet I haven't had a chance to invest in either and that in no way is this a recommendation to invest in either or both nor an attempted ramp. May be worth a little research. Since this is a little off topic, I won't go into more detail just now........unless requested.. Regards CM

Hi Lacey. Thanks for getting back to me. Better day so far on mkts. Agree wtih your comments below. Will wait my time to invest more; there is some uncertainty ahead (in more ways than one) and I need to keep some cash on one side. Must sign off and dash out; it's my day off and I'm on my way to collect a couple of furry friends and give them a walk out. Catch you later. Regards and gla, CM

Good very late evening to you. I am still following this company; it seems more robust than my investments just now and may be a safe haven in trouble times...perhaps the empasis should be on the word MAY!. If you don't mind me asking, what price did you buy into DEMG at?.....none of my business of course and I respect your decision if you don't want to tell me!. Just in case I don't have the opportunity or forget in the next couple of days, let me wish you a very happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Hey.......let me extend that to all. It's been good being in contact with you Lacey, your thoughts and support have been appreciated. Keep up the good work. Regards CM

Thanks MG, much appreciated; I'll have a look. Have a good Christmas and wishing you a prosperous and healthy New Year, Regards CM

I don't think it is the mm who are putting up the deals on the bb, but they do have enormous power yes!.Legal?, they set the market, that is why they are called market makers. They make their money by the spread they offer between buy and sell prices. Sometimes they most definitely influence the market and never, ever have your or my interests at heart. But, I'm afraid there is little if anything we can do about it. Regards CM

Hello rickydicky, how are you doing. I have read your post below and not sure I can give you an informed answer. If I am understanding you correctly, then, well,.....each sale or buy is as from the market makers perspective. If I ring up and buy say 10000 shares at 24p it will be reported as such, or SHOULD be. Likewise if I sell 20000 shares at 23.5p it should be reported as such. The mm does not need to state that they have sold me 10000 shares at 24p or bought 20000 shares at 23.5p from me, so you will not get a balance. What is the point of this?, well I guess they may be legally bound to show the transactions carried out. BUT, you will find that not all sales or buys are recorded correctly, for whatever reason they may be the wrong way around!. What is more some dealers will make a transaction in bulk for a no. of their customers at a best price, so you, Lacey and I may buy say 50000 shares between us and they will be grouped together as one and we won't be able to tell one from another. Confused yet?. OK. So you may get more shares bought than sold on one day and yet the share price falls back, or vice versa. Why?, well, ..... because it can!....and sometimes does!. Oh, don't ask me why rickydicky, it just does!. You just have to accept it I am afraid. What is important at the end of the day is the sp movement, although you would hope more buys than sells would lift the sp. Another fact, some would say the sp fell today, but don't worry it was on low volume. Let me give you a quote from an investment book. "A broker rang his client and said I have good news and bad news, what would you like first?. The client says, "I'll have the bad news please". The broker says "Your investment that you made at £5 a share is now selling at 50p a share". The client says "and what is the good news?!". The broker says "it fell on low volume!". Now, this isn't meant as a joke, but as a warning. At the end of the day it matters little if the volume is low or high, what matters is the share price. I've read it too many times on the boards here, as a reason to stay optimistic in a falling market. Although not invested here at present, I will try to help if I can. Also Lacey is a good egg (can I use that expression?) and I am sure will try to answer any questions you may have. Have a good weekend. Regards CM

Good evening; surprised to see me on this bb?. Well, don't be. Don't know if I will catch you on this one and/or GBO. No, I haven't invested here yet, but am considering it, especially after my near disasterous sortie into FRR and SOU. Still in those 2 for the time being but very nearly sold out today at lunchtime when at the library and only didn't because SOU had climbed a little. I have looked at the charts again for DEMG and on barchart.com and still things look good. It was no surprise that the share price had fallen back the other day, the sp had risen above the Bollinger band, but has now fallen back within the two and show the parabolic sar rising. Some indicies showing overbought but MACD is in bullish territory. What does this mean?...hmm.......well to be honest, I think sometimes I confuse myself!!!, but it is more positive than negative. Maybe some downward pressure but trend at present is good, just don]t expect this to jump, unless of course there is more good news forthcoming. And of course we all need to do our own research. On another matter; did you read the email from Insider Investor on Wednesday?, what is your take on that?, what do you think will happen and where do you think you should put your money and do with any investment if that comes about?. I know II can be darn right depressing.........but........well.......I' be interested to read your thoughts, either on here or GBO. Catch up with you shortly I hope. Hope the visit went well. Have a good weekend. Regards CM

Good evening MG. Seems like you have been working late, looking over on the MONI board. Being at work all day I have not had an opportunity to reply to any of your posts and in truth haven't wanted to on the MONI board. I can fully understand your frustration (if not anger) at some of the comments made at or towards you. A lot of it comes from people not liking to hear someone who doesn't share their opinion, particularly if it comes over that they are being more successful (in many cases that wouldn't be difficult). People like others to share their misery and their optimism, oh yes their optimism "stand by for the rebound, this share has been oversold, it is undervalued, market makers are driving the share price down.......staying in for the long term" etc, etc. I am certainly not able to give you ANY advice re investments, you have FAR more experience and knowledge than me so I am not even going to try. What I would say is, don't waste your time telling people how successful you are, you know how successful you are, I know how successful you are and I am genuinely pleased for you. But there are b****rs out there who are only happy when they know others are failing and want to see others fail...........don't waste your valuable time on them, it may take your eye of the ball (so to speak). They will try to knock you everyway they can, call you all sorts of things...........ramper, deramper.....even a market maker today I seem to recall...oh, now that really is an insult!. I KNOW how annoying this can be, I can speak from personal experience, not from a financial side but from a sporting side, having reached the very highest level in my area of sport (which I won't go into just now), suffice to say I have been an international athlete in the past. There will ALWAYS be knockers, there will ALWAYS be people who are jealous and will want you to fail. But.........you have NOTHING to prove to anyone on these boards. Keep up the good work. Your thoughts are appreciated by a no. of people on these boards, including myself. Have a good evening. Regards CM

Same thoughts. At least it is doing better than some of the other companies I have shares in!. Hope you are faring better. Regards CM

Times are tough folks, people just aren't spending their money when they are in fear of their jobs/future. For those of you that don't already know, I am in outdoor retail and have just learnt today that there will be no pay rise this coming year for the 4th/5th consecutive year!. At least (at present) I have a job. I work in Ambleside and we have 17, yes 17 shops that are in outdoor retail, soon to be 15 more than likely!. At least there is no rent on the shop where I work, the owner owns the property, plus all stock is paid for not on credit. Hopefully we will survive this recession; I'm afraid others will not. Watch Mike Ashley re. Blacks/Millets. Good luck all, I hope you are having more luck with your investments than I am!. Regards CM

No time, back 2 work now. ? re sell FRR and SOU?. Regards CM
