Light selling, price down again, 33-35p currently. Would love to know why they romped ahead so quickly, but they seem to have run out of steam and the profit takers are bringing them down. Good profits if you were in and out at the right time I guess, but hard to judge where it will go now.

The Board of Biofuels Corporation plc has noted the recent movement in the Company's share price and knows of no reason for this. ----------------------------------------------- At the beginning of the month they were at 26p, early this morning hitting 49p (mid) before closing at 37-38p. I think this is a classic case of speculation on the 'in' topic of climate change. Hope you didn't buy at 48p Alfa. Risky punt I'd have thought.

Quite ridiculous this one. SP up 97% today. Trades yesterday, Zero, trades today 278K (ie about 25 grands worth), first trade at 4.5-6.0p, latest price is 8.75-10.5p. Market cap of this company is £2.41m. I have my hefty pole for fending off barges, it's going no where near ATEL :)

Well I agree it's all one way traffic today, but a half penny tickdown on mid price to 65-70 and a mere 9 transactions selling a paltry 44000 shares is not likely to make much difference. Oh for talk of a JV to resume, sending trading back into the millions and the SP rocketing again. This has to be the most frustrating hold in my portfolio, more so than SEO, which at least has plenty of interest, even if today it has been in the wrong direction!

Just tried a fake buy, offered at 94.5p on line. More sells than buys today so far, hence the falling SP. Big rise in recent days though from the mid 30s so bound to be a pause on profit taking.

The 'dodgy three' have resigned all their directorships it seems, and there are concerns that the wife of Moore may be embroiled in the scandal as she's the director of a company paid £100K by TRX for advice on pensions. This is a sorry mess indeed, with little solace for shareholders. A couple of criminal charges wouldn't go amiss I think.

This is a very heavily traded share with a tiny spread. A better stock than many of the smaller companies often recommended I would have thought. Despite the recent rise the shares are still historically well priced.

Recommended as a buy in the Times this morning. There's been a decent rise already this week but further to go by the look of it.

LONDON (AFX) - The UK's Serious Fraud Office is investigating potential false accounting of 6.5 mln stg in Torex Retail PLC's interim results, according to a report in The Financial Times. The newspaper said the issue was raised by auditor BDO Stoy Hayward in a letter to the company last August, querying two cash payments of 2.5 mln stg and 1.5 mln stg, and a nominal ledger entry of 2.5 mln stg for the first half of 2006. BDO expressed concern there was no written contract for the payment of 2.5 mln stg, which then chief executive Chris Moore attributed to a 5 mln stg contract negotiated with former executive chairman Rob Loosemoore to sell the software firm's products in certain markets. In a response letter, which now forms a major part of the SFO's investigation, Moore admitted finance director Marcus Leek was not aware of the contract. On Jan 30 the SFO said that it, along with the City of London Police, had opened an investigation into Torex Retail with searches conducted at two residential addresses in Oxfordshire and one in Warwickshire. On Jan 26 trading in the company's shares on AIM was suspended at the company's request pending clarification of its financial situation. The firm said at that time that its full year 2006 results were likely to be "significantly below" market expectations.

The Torex fallout spreads: LONDON (AFX) - London Capital Group Holdings PLC said its chairman Rob Loosemore and non-executive director Geoffrey Forster have decided "it will be in the best interests of the company" for them to step down from the board pending the outcome of the on-going investigations into Torex Retail PLC. Torex is currently under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Services Authority and the London Stock Exchange. Loosemore is a former chairman, and Forster a current non-executive director, of Torex. Chief Executive Frank Chapman will assume the role of chairman of London Capital and work which had been underway to strengthen the board will continue, London Capital said. London Capital added it continues to trade strongly, in line with market expectations.

Torex has been the subject of two takeover approaches in the past four months, neither of which has been made public. The first was made to Moore last October by Gores, an American venture-capital group. The cash-and-shares offer was financed by Lehman Brothers with Credit Suisse as adviser. Moore chose not to tell his board, even though he received a letter from William Mansfield at Credit Suisse in November reminding him of his obligations under the takeover code. Then in early December, Moore exercised 6.8m options at 1p. Gores tabled a formal offer on December 20, which was presented to the board. Two weeks later Silver Lake, another US investor, offered 76p a share. Silverlake was given a period of exclusivity, but it is now thought to have reduced its offer.

I prefer to read the text rather than just see a link. There are some novices out there that are concerned that their money is tied up. Unfortunately it's not looking very promising for them.

Few small sells and the SP marked down significantly. Now being quoted 66-68p, down from 71-75p on opening. Ridiculous this should happend on 28000 shares sold. MMs are extracting the urine...

LONDON (AFX) - The major lending banks to Torex Retail PLC could pull the plug on the embattled software provider in just four weeks, reports the Sunday Telegraph citing a source close to the company. The Sunday Telegraph says Torex, which is under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Services Authority and the London Stock Exchange, is under "considerable pressure" to show it is good for around 180 mln stg of bank debt. Torex last weekend appointed accountancy firm Deloitte to conduct a review. Meanwhile, the Sunday Times reports that a dossier detailing five serious allegations against the former chairman of Torex Retail, Chris Moore, and other directors has been handed to the Serious Fraud Office by the company's suspended chief executive. It says Neil Mitchell, who was suspended from the retail software supplier last week and has turned 'whistleblower', has provided a series of case studies to support his allegations of falsified accounting and money laundering. Within three days of receiving the dossier, the SFO raided Moore's home and those of two other individuals, the report says. The Mail on Sunday says fraud detectives investigating the group are looking at an alleged conspiracy to manipulate accounts in order to sell it at an inflated value. It claims the Serious Fraud Office is looking at how executives handled a series of mergers and acquisitions. Torex could not be reached for comment.

Long list of sells, Buys 2.2m, sells 7.5m, very surprised it held on to the increase, 9th highest gainer today.

Another half penny tick up. Not a lot of business being done but all of it buys, SP started today at 33.5-34p and is now at 35-36p, which is a decent enough rise. It should have further to go.

Might be worth a punt... International Greetings PLC ("International Greetings" or "the Group") (AIM: IGR), the leading designer and manufacturer of private label greetings products and film and television character based licensed stationery, today announces that its Alligator Books Limited subsidiary has signed the licences for 'Dr Who' and the recently relaunched children's classic, 'Rupert Bear'. Alligator Books, a publisher and distributor of children's books and stationery which was acquired by International Greetings in April 2006, has signed the 'Creative Play' licences for 'Rupert the Bear' from Entertainment Rights and 'Doctor Who' from BBC Worldwide. The Creative Play formats include products such as stickers and colouring sets. The new licences fit well with the Group's other licensed products which range from much-loved children's classics such as 'Noddy', 'Thomas the Tank Engine' and 'Postman Pat', to more modern successes such as 'Bratz' and 'Dora the Explorer', as well as family movie blockbusters such as the 'Harry Potter' series, 'Spiderman' and 'Shrek '. Joint Chief Executive, Nick Fisher, commented: "Alligator books has been a great acquisition for International Greetings and these new deals show our continued belief in the value of acquiring the licences for strong and well known brands. "Both 'Rupert the Bear' and 'Dr Who' are experiencing a resurgence of popularity following recent relaunches. We are convi

I responded to TFL on that chat, no problems with that, riding high, good call I'd say. TAN will no doubt flutuate, but even at the current highs it's a fine investment. Don't expect a miracle but could see it double again in the next 6 months. FTO, never looked at it so couldn't comment. Glad to see some interest in QTA, will be a slog back to 40p+ unless a bidder emerges, but I'm sure it will get there. A bid has been rumoured before though.

Just checked this for you, thinly traded but still listed, currently 154-155, surprisingly small spread for such a share. 4 trades yesterday, 3 the day before. No news or suspension so hang in there.

This continues to tick up from recent lows. Now 34-36p up a tad again on a few buys (76000 shares in 5 bargains, all buys). I wouldn't suggest you sell your SEO or TAN shares to invest in this (yet), but any spare cash could find a worse place to live for 6 months...
