Yes, I started buying in to XPS at over 5p a share, and have been averaging down ever since !! The amount of cash I have lost on paper would make your nose bleed, but I'm holding on to my long term conviction that they will turn the company around. And yes, I think the buys showing as sells and vice versa is a general thing with all shares as I've had others that have done the same. FW

My immediate answer to your second question was going to be 'too many for my own sanity' but 6.6m as you asked nicely. As I hold these shares via a nominee a/c with Hargreaves Lansdown I don't know whether I get an invite to the AGM ? FW

Hi Walkers The reason the buys sometimes show up as sells is as follows: I have been told previously that if the trade goes through at a price above the half way mark between the Bid and Offer it will show up as a buy. If it goes through at a price below the mid point it will show as a sell (as my trade this afternoon did !!) irrespective of what type of trade it was. You would have thought with moderm technology the system would have been a little less stuck in the dark ages, but c'est la vie as the French say. FW

666,651 shares @ 0.45p Will probably show up as a sell as I managed to get them at the Bid price ! FW

P.S. You'll see from the report how many shares each Director holds and also the report speaks in places of 2013 being a pivotal year for the Group. Things may have gone quiet for the moment because efforts are being focused in these areas ?? I remain cautiously optimistic. FW

For those of you like me who need something to do whilst waiting for the SP to lift :) and in desperate need of some positive vibe, have a read of the following document that I found on the Web. It's about 8 months old, but makes good reading. FW http://www.expansys.plc.uk/content/documents/EXPANSYS_ar12.pdf

Let's hope you're right ! FW

Let's just hope our optimism pays off. What worries me is that if this was such a no brainer, why we are seeing no big buys from Directors or Fund Managers. I keep the faith, but I've had my fingers burn't before buying in on a declining SP ! Have a good b/h weekend. FW

Mmmm. SP down slightly as I type, but I wonder how many of those red sells should actually be buys today ! FW

Yes, I too am cautiously optimistic. Although my stepson is just about to buy an iPhone 4s and I advised him to buy from Expansys @ £499 However, he informed me he can buy the same phone on the Apple site for £449 - £50 cheaper! Lol FW

My £3,000 buy this afternoon has also shown as a sell ..... FW

Thanks Mozilla I still feel things will come good. Top guys in the company are not going to want to lose money. Will be intersting to hear further regarding rest of email. FW

As not much seems to be happening of late and in a fit of boredom, I took a look at some customer reviews on a site in the US, which seems to be a good market for them. They seem to get 5/5 from most of the customers which is encouraging. Check out the following link: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Expansys_USA

........well apart from that 5m share sale on Tuesday that is ! FW

Once these guys have accumulated stupid amounts of money (which I'm sure they all have by now) they are not in it for the money any more, it's the kudos. Tim Eltze relocated his family to the USA to concentrate on the growth of the US business. P J only reversed a takeover of XPS in 2010 which is less than 3 years away. I may be sticking my head on the block, but I seriously think that they will come good. I am still prepared to give them the benefit of doubt. Hell, I've nothing else to lose....................................FW

I thought Data Select was already part of the Expansys Group ??

We haven't seen anyone bailout at board level, so I'm assuming that they all see a future for XPS through the smog. We have to remember that many of the board members have large share holdings, and they aren't going to want to crystallize a loss and will be working towards a turnaround in fortunes for the company. Have a good weekend all FW

Not that many shares sold today really, can't see how it warranted a 12% drop in SP ?? FW

So, PJ has bought the Jessops name and is to open a selection of stores. Do you think we will see any cross selling here or will he keep it just photography? Time will tell. FW
