can sell 50k shares above bid, but can only get a quote to buy 1000 shares at full ask! Another tick-up coming IMO! Nice to see patience being rewarded, GLA

Alright mate, you still holding on here? I personally think VERO could be the dark horse of my pf, haven't really payed it much attention since doing the initial research and buying in, and although a takeover would be nice to hopefully make a quick buck, I will definately look to increase my holding on any SP weakness should the takeover talks not amount to anything. As far as I know we would have to be informed if the takeover talks finished, and the last we heard was on the 4th December when they told us: Preliminary Approach Update Following the announcement by the Company on 16 September 2009 that it had received a provisional approach from a financial institution that may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company, the Company has continued to pursue discussions. The Company remains in an Offer Period. Any thoughts on the recent 100k trades, looks like the 2 most recent could actually have been buys..........maybe??? Due to us being in an offer period, it would only take 4 100k trades (1%) to be buys from the same person, and we would have to have a holdings disclosure. Obviously they could be sells, in which case the MMs were still willing to pay well above the bid.

Yeah still in TMMG with quite a lot for me, really suprised it has gone down to where it is now, but all research still suggests a significant upside and 50p very possible after the update, so hoping to add more there too. Like you, I am not goint to argue with those who have personal vendettas and no interest in the company, but still happy to have a holding! Actually sold BPC this morning for a small loss, as increased exposure expected from the Penny Sleuth has been delayed, but will definately be looking to get back in once markets have settled, as they could potentially be sitting on oil much larger than the likes of GKP, although it will be a very long-term hold, worth having on your watchlist! Might put the spare cash in here, or possibly in TMMG until after update and then into here, still haven't really looked into Mulready and ATM4MEDIA, and going to Bournemouth this afternoon for the weekend , so will probably have to wait until Sunday. Thanks for heads up on GBO, will try to have a look soon! Forbsy thanks for taking the time to contact IDG and post on here, as well as sharing your research links, it is nice to have a board on LSE where you know you will find detailed research and relevant discussions, not just rampers vs derampers etc etc. Keep up the good work guys, ATB

alright mate, hope you are well! Looks like another great find there mate, will have to look into that later this evening though, have just had a punt in BPC, not the best entry price (4.05p) but could be some big news there tomorrow, doing some further research with a view to possibly adding more in the morning. Still planning to add here too, 20p would be lovely though wouldn't it?! :) ATB guys

you still holding some here? Been watching for a while, not done any detailed research but looks like a good opportunity long-term from these levels. Question - why does this site have the year high SP at 97p? Was it not more like 21p?

no it hasn't been very exciting for the last few weeks, but without expansion news I dont really expect it to move much, and as you both say when we do get updated it could really take off IMO. I actually like the fact that Ana Stewart et al have so far kept quiet about Australia and other developments, it seems they are busy growing the company and forming relationships in all the right places, and I'm sure when they feel everything starts to fall into place and the time is right, we will see the details of their achievements over the last year or so, and more about their plans for the future (most of which oldtramp has already provided for us!) It is great that we have all been able to secure holdings before this news is released, because I'm sure it will come on to many investors radars when the market is updated, and with the very limited number of shares in public hands, I think it will be very difficult to secure a decent sized holding, and it could very quickly become much more expensive to do so. All IMO and DYOR

holding up well today when many others are dropping by the minute it seems! My watchlist is covered in red, but only a few drops in my pf so could be a lot worse! A few small buys today, think it will need a few more days like that or an increase in buying volumes before it starts to recover, although PIM has suprised me a few times!

nice to see that they bothered to communicate with their investors, when so many other companies are not! Really positive sentiment in there too, and although there is no direct mention of Australia or Matt McGrath etc, they have given us a significant hint that they have not been sitting on their thumbs regarding the overseas expansion! "In addition, in spite of the ongoing difficulties in the banking sector, i-design continues to be engaged in constructive discussions with further potential banking customers. The Group is also engaging with new channel partners to support its overseas growth strategy."

I was out so missed it too! Very nice for anyone who got in sub 23/24p though, still watching and waiting with a small amount of cash, so many others I would like to top-up in too though. Richtea - must be the same seller at 20p, must be desperate for the cash too! Hope we all had a good weekend.

just seen the 25.75p trade on here, and the bid moved up to 25p, so its possible that it has found support?

where is the support if current c.26p is broken? Looks like 1 buyer got in at 25p this morning on plus, and a few at 25.25p on here, still waiting to see where it is going, but dont expect it to stabilize, more likely bottom and sharp rebound, would like to know when that might happen, as I' sure we all would! GLA

I agree that MMs have been walking the SP down, and that good news must be due soon so I will need to secure my holding before too long! Would love to get some at 25p, but doesn't look that likely, will see how it goes. ATB mate

no it doesn't cost to change brokers as far as I know, you could always just open a Lloyds account in addition to your existing account, then you can gradually move your shares accross as and when it suits you, and still have the benefit of Lloyds dummy trades. I freed up some funds today and nearly bought IDG at 23p, then when I went for a price it ticked up to 25p! Will still be looking to top-up this week though. As for TMMG, its definately not too late, I will be buying up to 40p and I'm sure many will be buying up to 50p and more. Most people have a target of 60-70p or more for short-term, and much higher if you are looking to hold! I personally think 50p as absolute minimum, and if the trading update expected next month delivers anywhere near what we are led to expect from previous statements, then other peoples targets will not be hard to meet! Worth spending a few hours this evening going back through the last few weeks posts on the TMMG BB, some really good research on there that will help you make your decision I'm sure. Dont want to influence your decision, but if you do decide to buy in then the sooner the better IMO, as I have said I expect people to be paying 40p by the end of this week or the beginning of next! GL whatever you decide, ATB I'm off to relax and watch some footie, will check on here and TMMG later

hmmm I regretted not buying last time the ask was continuously dropping, could have got sub 20p! I do share reggieP's concerns however at the dumping that seems to persist every now and then, and the lack of interest from funds and Institutions, which I fail to understand. The fact that the MMs were only willing to pay 20p for the 100k shares today is worrying that the seller was desperate enough to accept it. MM's may be tempted to drop the ask further to entice the buyers, as they will be making a profit at anything above 20p. Will wait and see how the market reacts tomorrow..... Having said all that, I do think this is a very promising company with some exceptional products, and the limited number of available shares means there is no point waiting for news to buy, as you will pay a premium to any previous price. I did think I would buy if it went sub 30p again, but have been busy researching and buying into other shares recently. Definately want to secure a holding here at some point though!

saw the good news, have the 11th Feb in my diary. Some good buying pressure today, but the ask still seems to be coming down! Must be due to the 100k sell on plus at 20p! Still keeping a close eye on this though! Have you looked at TMMG at all? Check the BB for some great research! Hope you are well mate

In reply to your post about your TDW GRIPE you posted about 11pm last night. Sheer that must be really annoying, I think shareprice.co.uk does the same thing, which is part of the reason I never use it! I would recommend Lloyds Nominee account despite the relatively expensive trading charges, because they are 100% reliable, they often seem to get better prices or market sizes than other brokers, and you can do dummy trades to sell shares you dont even have, and to buy shares you do not have the funds for, so you can get a really good idea of the MM's appetite for shares. O/T I know quite a few of the guys in here have bought into TMMG this week, quite a similar recovery play in some ways despite the very different businesses, trading statement should be next month with significant upside expected, worth checking out IMO, some really good research on the BB if you look back through this weeks posts. I trust you will DYOR, but thought I should point it out incase you hadn't seen it talked about. Not a lot of stock available so moves well on quite small volume, ask any questions on that BB and I'm sure you will get many answers! Sorry if you have already seen it!

now getting quoted 25p to buy!

great post mate will give anyone looking at IDG a great basis to start their research! Nice to see the spread closing so much today too, maybe that top-up I planned wont be able to wait much longer! sheer did you see my post last night to you about Lloyds brokers and TMMG?

digital is definately the future of marketing IMO and the fact that Bray Leino can turn over £50m is impressive but in some ways not that suprising. The fact that IDG have increased their revenue in a time when so many blue-chip companies have slashed or cut their advertising budget all together is proof of the shift in advertising methods, and as the economy improves companies will look to take the initiative through advertising to try and increase their market share, and with 70% recall, it all bodes well for IDG! AGM on the 26th, not really sure what to expect, as last year all we heard was that all resolutions were passed, whereas Jan 2008 saw some good detail in the chairmans trading statement released to the public. I think Matt McGraph becoming a director would be a really positive move for IDG, and clarify their intentions in Australia to the public, re Transaction Media etc etc, as well as adding a certain amount of expertise to the business. For it to be announced at the AGM, would it have to be in the proposed resolutions set out in the annual report and accounts? http://www.i-designplc.com/attachments/040_i-design_annual_report_and_accounts_2009.pdf see page 46 Even if that is required, it is still possible that it could happen before then, or in the days/weeks that follow.

interesting that there is a link to the news on DOOH on the JADN.TV website, the largest forum on Out-of-Home Digital (OOHD) in Canada, as we already know there is a distinct possibility of IDG expanding into Canada, as stated by CEO Ana Stewart. http://www.jadn.tv/Home.aspx
