Upward trend very much still in place. April results don't feel far away now.
... been the same everyday since the news.
tick up on the bid to 12p, on a small buy
... that's the third buy of between 70,000 and 80,000 shares reported in the last 2 days. Stake-building still going on still here by the looks of things.
... we didn't get too many PI buyers on little research on Thursday. And hopefully any that did buy have since recognised the potential here short, medium and long term. I don't like it when we suddenly get 100+ posts - attracts the wrong kind of money IMO. Holding STY is like a marathon as opposed to a sprint IMO.
Nice quiet BB again ... I'm going to post less myself I think, unless I spot some news or related press. Market cap now in the region of £7.4m. I'm wondering if the framework RNS last week represents a change in policy to RNSing news. It;s the first such RNS for ages. Would be good news if so. Looking forward to those results.
- buys reporting as sells (again) buys going through at 12.7p
Was slightly overbought technically at 13.25p. Personally, am holding long term here.
I'm lucky enough to have an average around 9p, and am holding plenty. Great to hear from someone with an ear to the ground. The momentum has been up for a couple of months and the share held it's rise comfortably today with lots of buying. A few days back, STY boards across the forums were dead, so great to be able to discuss the merits of STY with more folks. Thanks again, enjoy your weekend
... about the rise so far is that it has been slow and steady, with the SP consolidating as it goes. It's been built upon more buying than selling for many weeks. Yesterday helped to put the SP on more radars, but I agree that we don't want a mad spike here, nor do we want in and out type of traders. This is a buy, hold and keep IMO. Welcome to any new holders. I'll continue my daily trawl of google for any non-reported news or press :)
... of the shares in issues traded yesterday. Today will be interesting. Still well off the 18p achieved in may. Results will be in April and are forecast to be an improvement on last year in terms of both revenue and underlying profit before tax.
Just been reading through the avalanche of posts around 11:00am, and noticed yours. Here I am :) And this was such a still and quiet board ... Looking forward to results, and hopefully more framework/contract news too. I'm holding through to results, and beyond if results read as positively as is suggested by the trading update. Note that the SP hit 18p in May on the back of 2010 results that we're forecast to exceed by over 200% in terms of underlying profit before tax, with revenues up by about £5m. Good luck everyone.
Not so easy for me to post during the working day. Amazing volume today if you take a look at a chart with the volume on it.

I see there are out some newbies to the board here. Worth noting that STY are forecast to do £104m revenue in 2011, which is up about 5% on the previous year, and underlying profit before tax is forecast at £1.6m for 2011. November's trading statement told us that STY have traded broadly in line. I've been adding ever since. The SP was held back by UBS GAM who were selling down since at least December 2010. They passed below 3% about 2 1/2 weeks ago and should be out of the picture totally now. The results are forecast to be an improvement on last year, but the SP is still significantly below the 18p that we saw in May 2012. I was amazed that the November update didn't lead to a 100%+ rerating, but we're getting there slowly but surely. Stronger order book by 12%+ in November too, and that's BEFORE today's update. All looking rosy in the STY camp.

That's some timing with your last post :-) Simply brilliant news this morning.
You'll hopefully find that they are very responsive. I got an emali back very quickly when I had a query a few weeks back. STY simply do not RNS every contract win, which is a shame as it would probably reassure many holders and provide shareholders with an idea of progress. Would you be able to please let me know broadly what you find out? Many thanks
