Lol aquisitor, I have more money in LNG than I do in TAN, and am holding these with a firm grip too. I do have an open account trade as well, which will be sold (probably after the AGM report), but because my average is 16.6p I have a couple of grand more in LNG than TAN (from the same initial investment in each). I'm not sure if I see a pound that soon Rick, my end 2010 target isn't even that high. If it did happen my tax bill would be truly horrendous though ;) Slight drop off today might be another buying opportunity for anyone not yet in.

I see at least three of us bought in on Friday in the low 470s then. Doing well today, now up to 490-500p. More sells than buys but the price pushing up anyway, and level 2 showing buy vol of 58K against sell vol of 25K so momentum appears to be building. I have a habit of exiting too soon on SOLA, missing perhaps half of a potential rise on a couple of occassions. But a profit banked cannot be lost so I'll be watching carefully for the time being. Another increase on the bid, now 495.25-500p.

Ah lol, thought it was a bit to quiet on the AU thread. Good price on Blinx, 45p at the top end of the forecast range. Will be trading under BLNX from 8am.

1.923m today in 97 trades, a good volume and a decent finish. Definitely worth hanging on in there until the AGM unless they suffer a serious retration.

If you want to offer some support to this co on advfn, I seem to be plugging away with no one listening! Anyway, a decent rise today ahead of the cut off for Blinx shares. I presume they'll be a retraction tomorrow as they'll be trading 'ex-Blinx' :)

Hey stockspy. Dunno what you lot have been doing to the shares I hold, but just got back from a meeting (out at half nine) and my entire holding has gone up 5.4% on the back of good rises in TAN, LNG, AU and VIY. I should get invited to these dull meetings more often! Anyway, level 2 show more detailed information regarding share trades. If we take a share like LNG then level 1 (the basic level of data) shows that the durrent price is 22.5-22.75p and gives me other figure like 73 bargains and 1.2m shares traded. But switching to level 2 offers up more information, so I can see that there are 5 market makers offering prices, just one of these is bidding 22.5p (the rest lower) and just one offering 22.75p (the rest higher). We call this 1-1 as there is just the one market maker at the best bid and one at the best offer price. Level 2 can really help in a rapidly traded share as for example it might show 5-1, meaning all 5 market makers are at the same bid price, which suggests that the next time any of them get a decent buy order the bid will increase. If you look at a share like TAN, this trades on SETS, which matches buyers to sellers more accurately. This system has the benefit of showing orders in the system, as well as volume, so I can see that someone is offering to buy 10K TAN shares at 142p and someone else is offering to sell 6.8K TAN shares at 142.5p, hence the current spread of 142-142.5p. It also offers up volumes of buys and sells in the system, which ca

According to the release, anyone holding shares at close on Monday gets the Blinx shares I believe. I see that the SP was unable to hold on to £8 but is not much below it. If the cut off is at the close on Monday then they should rise a bit further, but you never can tell (see what happened when VOD gave away a few billion with their share split a while ago for an example of how it shouldn't happen).

I only bought in to Autonomy on Tuesday, so pretty chuffed that they've just stormed through the £8.00 level. Not sure if they'll hold on to it today, but with the Blinkx shares being dished out on Monday I could see further gains ahead of the cutoff. I would expect a retraction afterwards of course, probably to the value of the free shares, but that provides a second opportunity, Blinkx should attract plenty of support on its own. 803.5-804.5p at the moment. Has to be worth holding on to until after the close on Monday.

I was looking for 500p but maybe that's pessimistic... On advfn someone claims that there's a broker note from Ambrian with a 750p recommendation out today. Can't find it though, but if true if might push us ahead quite quickly.

Time for me to get back in on SOLA, I think the shares have been wallowing for long enough and are due for a rise soon. Looking back at the results in April, there were several comments on new production facilities coming on line during May so I think we'll be getting an update very shortly. Every chance of good news on the next release and as I've said in the past, sub £5 seems like good value to me. Have bought this morning at 472p.

Another great hike on RCG this morning, now up to 114-117p. I was a bit miffed that I moved my account trade from MOB into TAN, and then from TAN into RCG, as MOB has continued to rise. But now it's smiles all round as RCG continues it's recovery and in hindsight it was the right decision, for once. Hanging in there for the time being, pleased to see there are plenty of us in on the rise.

Nice pick up as we headed towards the close, and finished at 108.25-111p. We could yet make some good money from this stock.

Good buying today and the share price has held on to gains so far, with further buying during the afternoon. 21.0-21.25p at present and showing 2-1 on level 2, first time we've had two market makers bidding at 21p today. I think it looks very promising, buys of 644K and sells of 193K and the figures look fairly accurate. About to break through the million shares traded mark too, that's well ahead of Jessops today, so showing renewed interest in one of our 'favourite' stocks. Still worth buying I think, although I'm very overweight in them myself. And make that 3-1 on level 2 now.

I think my last guess was they'd probably double if the deal goes ahead, which would mean 0.8p or above. Less than 2 weeks away from the deadline now though and no word from them yet. I've not been a holder for a few months so have no current interest, but if I were I'd have hoped for an update on progress towards the deal. Still, 8 more trading days is not long to wait.

Have decided to wait until a move to above £12 on IEC before getting back in. Some buying today, 22K, against 8K sells so starting to look more positive and 20p up on the close from yesterday.

Results definitely not out today: Dear XXX Thanks for your message. I apologise for the confusion however our results are not due out until mid-June. Once again I do apologise for the inconvenience, and I will look into this matter further - can you recall who you spoke with? Yours sincerely, Andrew Mullins Executive Vice President Forum Energy Plc

According to ProQuote and a call I put in to FEP earlier this week, the preliminary results are due tomorrow. However, there are posters on advfn that insist that this is not the case. Will find out if the company was telling me porky pies in the morning I guess.

UK data search company Autonomy Corp said it plans to raise 25 mln stg through the flotation of its demerged video search business, Blinkx, on London's Alternative Investment Market. In a statement, Autonomy said shareholders will receive one Blinkx share for each share held in Autonomy on May 21. The Blinkx shares will be priced between 35 to 45 pence per share. Blinkx, which allows people to search Internet TV and video clips, is expected to have a market capitalisation of around 114 mln stg, Autonomy said.

Oh, and I set myself conservative long term targets for shares I hold. These are 25p for year end (I think that is exceptionally pessimistic), 40p for end 2008, and 60p for end 2009. I'm way behind the broker on these figures of course. We might be seeing 25-30p by the AGM with some good press and news, but the share price does have a way of succumbing to profit takers and failing to support new highs. I have my fingers crossed that this time we might see a break out.

I was very pleased with the timing of the broker upgrade. Hopefully this will raise the profile of LNG a bit, some reasonable volume today, 1.6m shares traded. Some good press coverage is needed tomorrow to steady the rise and then perhaps a little more buying up to the AGM on the 30th May. IF all goes well then we should have a decent trading update, with perhaps a mention of some of the expansion plans (into Romania and elsewhere I believe). The broker note also made it clear that their projections did not take account of future geographical expansion, which would result in further upgrades. Not much downside risk but still has the makings of a 'multibagger' from the current SP.
