I think Peter Gylenhammer is a speculator (like the rest of us?) but he has deeper pockets!! - I don't think he is in the business of taking co's over himself. He has investments in 8 to 10 aim / small caps co's. C21 is one I know of. He is known to be a shrewd investor but also a patient one. A couple of years ago he made many millions but has been a little quiet since. My average is way above 9p so I hope he can work his magic here . This is a good company and will be successful as a stand alone or part of a larger outfit, as a stand alone the share price would take a long time to be really rewarding - but it would be (imo). Get taken over and the money is up front! When do we want it?

Good posts jackabite - that is how the chat boards should be used IMO - to give others a helping hand. One way or the other. I am not a holder yet but very interested to get some in the near future and your insight has helped me decide!

If there was to be a share buy back it is on a pro-rata basis and he would still only hold the same % in the company. However, I wonder if the board are talking to him as a 'very major share holder'. Companies always do talk to institutions to keep them on side, so he could be in the loop. End of year announcements soon so all could be revealed. Good luck to C21 holders.

There are very few companies that have equivalent of 33% of their share value in cash at the bank - something good on the cards for sure. I hope not a share buy back ! Special dividend would be good and also for the share price. However it remains a well managed company with good a range of security and environmental / fuel saving products. It will be interesting to see / hear what new products are being developed.

Share price up and increased volume, it looks like this share is gradually coming to life! I hope shareholders will see the benefits of this well managed company. 'Miroda' has shown good research and insight on Dec 28th, I hope the special dividend is small enough to allow a structured ongoing dividend policy and not just a one off 'special'! Both could be even better!! It looks like Gyllenhammar may have be coming in for another windfall. It can't be long before the 2011 results are announced.

Sorry to see there are still angry and immature young men around. (re HW), your post is another vindication to keep clear of the company! An understanding of a business and market research are two different aspects of financial success and recording ones views do not constitute an 'outburst'. However, I am sure LSE would be highly delighted if a comment posted on their boards would in any way 'ramp' or even 'de-ramp' a company, but I suspect our observations are of little noteworthiness! For those with shares I hope break even comes swiftly!

It looks as if Mr Ratcliffe shares the same optimism as yourself, he is sure expecting to see a return on his investment, as 750K takes a bit of finding! I hope it works out well for him - as well as his competitors! The next eighteen months will be the most challenging and then replacement systems will be needed - big time, I guess. Good luck all shareholders in RM! (Especially the little guys!!)

OK, on those terms I can see that RM may bounce along the bottom for a while! No in fact you are correct and it is not as gloomy for those who stick with the smaller company as either employees or shareholders. (I would love to ask how long you have worked for them! but I guess I'm not allowed to). Besides even the share price has stabilised through the day or at least not fallen further and there is also the dividend to come and not all co's can do that!

The poor return on capital and the reduction in staff numbers will weigh heavily on these shares for quite a time yet. Lack of competition in the market -(as yet?) will help a little but cash reserve will soon burn away. The company appears to rely on capital expenditure not regular 'service' income and capital expenditure is now very much reduced. That's why I think your idea of a 'strong cash flow' is difficult to reconcile. What could the light at the end of the tunnel be? An interesting mess to rescue value from and a challenge for an unfocused team.

So the bubble has has finally been seen to have burst. A poor model for a business, interesting while it was working! I have never held shares in the company but have observed very closely. Never did like the employ, train (indoctrinate) , sell them some shares and then push them out into local government education departments to recommend/insist on RM computers in the schools system of expansion. Lobbying for the building schools programme, buying little peripheral businesses in the hope local authorities could continue to spend money they didn't have and training useless middle aged head teachers how to 'turn it off and then back on again' was soon going to be seen through by computer literate 'proper teachers' and was never going to make money long term for RM. No worthwhile R and D, no innovation and no vision - that has always been my observation of RM, (except for one visit to their virtual nonsense - just as they had spent another tronch of dosh on brick ends for teenagers!! it did all look very colourful but not a business!) RM rest in peace or pieces perhaps.

Good news but I have not seen the details of the sale. when was it announced? Any details or links would be appreciated.

Great news, lots to look forwards to! This could well pay a small dividend soon and that will give the share price a real boost. There is still time to join the fun and be part of a great company. The share high of 18p, will soon be left far behind. I don't think people realise what tremendous potential this company has. It started with todays announcement and the share price will soon motor. Watch this space!

It is good to see a few good purchases recently. The share has held up well and I expect it will be very positive early in the new year as we head towards the results. It remains a top share to be in, build and stay in, one for the pension!! A great area of work - CCTV / security / transport - as for the dividend it will follow soon no doubt.

FTSE down 2.2% - C21 up 10.11%, on high volume. Are there stirrings of a re-valuation of this share Perhaps scoutingforit is right to speculate about the possibility of that elusive first dividend for C21. Is there any news to base these share purchases on or are they speculative?

I am surprised we havn't had a third quarter progress report, which means we will probably have to wait for the year end report. I think the board should really have been a little more proactive, sharing company product detail. This is the area where they should be very bullish. A final dividend would get the shares motoring again - we will just have to be patient!

Good Company, good share to hold long term, we have discussed before the main risk is being bought out for an 'under valued' price. Gradual and steady share price increases as contracts are signed. Good foundation in Europe so lets hope for good things to come in the form of shareholder returns in the future.

I guess it was a very different company then, car radio and general electronics company at best. Now it has a very specialised product range which is highly suited to todays public transport and freight transport industries. I nam sure the price will continue to tick up and we will be rewarded in the future - I think very handsomely.

Thanks Ian1. The diary said Tuesday and so I thought there was a problem! I had been on the Kcom web site etc - but nothing. I am keen on the company and hope the results are good.

When are KCOM's results coming out??

Sad to see the PVCS price steadily drop. I bought the shares to try to be involved with an ethical investment, but of course you want to see positive returns and so far I am in negative territory. I think the board and their brokers could be more proactive when there is positive news - perhaps there isn't a lot of that about for PVCS at the moment. I hope they are accessing the political lobby both in the UK and Brussels to promote the need for alternative energy production / solar energy production. Of course the dividend is useful!!
