I am neither a ramper or a deramper but, I am a fan of software companies.
Over the years I have had some successes notably, Eckoh. On the other hand I have Falanx on my books currently showing a 90%+ loss.
I went hunting at the weekend and today bought my first shares in Checkit, Cloudcall and Corero Network Systems, all with mkt caps between circa 20-30M ( I got into Eckoh at 5M so don't expect anything like the same gains from today's investments)
My current favourite is Crimson Tide - cards on the table I have been accumulating share for some years now and have a decent stake.
Maybe I have fallen in love with Tide and as they say love is blind. However, can anyone tell me what I am missing and why its Market Cap is only around £7.5M - I appreciate that a large shareholder has off late been reducing their holding.
If anyone has time (a lot of us do at the moment) please take a look and feedback to me on the Tide share discussion board.
Thanks in anticipation someone can either put me out of my misery or, preferably, tell me that this company is a little undiscovered gem

Business as usual confirmed in today's new
Crimson Tide PLC - software development services firm - Reports "negligible" disruption to normal business patterns. Expects to remain well funded and operational for rest of 2020.
Expect positive results in due course based on half year results + contracts won since then
CV will most likely slow down new contract wins. However, note offer to NHS through The Crimson Tide Plc website - as Farhan says may open more windows for cleaning based contracts
Thanks Ed for that comprehensive feedback. I am a fan of Star and my strategy is invest and hold, building stakes in companies where news flow remains positive.
That said wonder if you have a stake in Crimson Tide and/or have ever taken a look at it. You will see from previous posts I am invested here and very positive on its future
Hi Ed - I am a fan and holder of shares and like you see loads of positives. My only possible concern is whether the Company presently has sufficient working capital to fund and develop all the product lines. You have obviously done a lot of research into the Co.
Would value your thoughts
re today's news Helium's reduction in shareholding equates to approx 11m shares. See it as positive that the share price held up whilst this transaction was being executed
An alternative take could be - slow burner. Debt free software Company with well developed product. Picking up new contracts and renewing existing ones on long terms. High margin and with very good visibility of earnings. As I have said before I am hoping this is my next Eckoh which I invested in from 5p upwards. Last check it was around 48p. When Tide eventually pays a dividend it will win some more fans, if , some contract wins don't bring them on board before that.
Patiently waiting. Profits will steadily grow as will the share price as future contracts are won.
I have steadily built a holding starting in 2015 and am now a patient holder of a good sized stake
As I posted in 2015 for me Tide is very similar to Eckoh where I adopted the same strategy and was eventually handsomely rewarded.
Today's contract news is big. unfortunately there is a big seller out there. However, hopefully further contract wins will be made over the next 12 months and the share price will start to climb upwards
Great results - still loads of upside going forward - great yield
Decided a small top up was called for given Miton's vote of confidence
Don't worry about the apparent huge sales yesterday - that was a sell and a buy deal to transfer shares to an ISA
Hi Hopefulpatience - welcome to the Tide fan club. Good, but expected news, based on previous updates We just need some more contract wins now to steadily move the share price up I am still looking for 10-12p over the next couple of years Enjoy the ride
Lets hope that someone has recognised the value here and has bought big
Spotted Tide about 9/15. Saw so many similarities with Eckoh, which I managed to buy into from 5p Looking for 12p in 2/3 years Predict an excellent profit for those prepared to buy and hold
Thanks for the feedback Am sticking with CT and happy that price has dropped back - the rise was premature in my eyes. Will look to pick up some more CT if price eases back a touch more. Re Belgravium will slowly and surely accumulate a holding - whereas with CT I have already got a good few shares in a short time rtayya - only shares on my radar at the moment, in order of how I rate them are - Crimson Tide (confident of a decent price rise over the next 2/3 years) - Belgravium ( confident I won't lose, but with more limited upside) - Transense (more speculative, but if commodity prices don't take too long to recover potentially good upside. However, if it takes too long to win more contracts the Company may get through its cashpile)
Hi - thanks for the feedback After my success with Eckoh - built a large stake gradually from 2010 for about 3 years - have been looking to replicate my success there Managed to to get into Crimson Tide at 1.8p, but the price has risen too quickly to build the stake I had targeted - managed to get about half If CT follows the pattern of Eckoh could see around 25P in 2/3 years time which I reckon would be a market cap of around 80 Mil I stay clear of oil and gas and commodity cos. I like small cap software Aim shares - debt free - signing up customers on 2/3 year contracts - with monthly income - as soon as they are covering their overheads new contract revenue largely goes to the bottom line. Tide certainly ticks all my boxes - problem is the good news is flowing too soon after I spotted the possibility here. Belgravium ticks some of the boxes so I think I will persevere here - look out for the 12,500 share purchases All the best for your 2016 investing
Belgravium I am looking for my next horse to back Whilst not currently in the same league as either Eckoh or Crimson Tide I am liking the look of Belgravium - once re-organised and the restructuring costs are out of the way Would welcome some objective feedback from others before I start to build a stake Thanks in anticipation of some discussion
Given patience and some good contract wins I hope to see a somewhat higher price
