I'm not getting in here, I put my reasons on a post to Moneyman on the ATG board. But they could be a good speculative bet.

It is to be expected that with their client portfolio this would be the case. The plus side is that there are companies to be picked up cheap at the moment with customer bases. As long as they do not buy debt, there could be huge upside here, being cash rich at the moment. Hopefully they were getting the negative news out of the way before more positive news later............

....it seems any share that ends with -AN is cursed!!!!!!

We've got a graph here for the first time in a long time!!!

Am hoping the AGM will be a positive outlook in that housing and financials will have to spend soon on advertising etc in the new business climate they find themselves in...............

I'm going to keep in on this over the next few weeks and will top up on any buying in opportunities IF they happen. It looks like the Directors are rankled with their current SP and want it to go North with immediate effect........

I'm annoyed with my brokers who told me no chance of buying sub 28p, it seems a lesser quanity were scooped up at 27.25p. A lot of people on these boards seem to have similar complaints about brokers........

In with you on these, bought 20,000 shares....will see what happens. Looked at RNVO in a bit more detail, it could be good longer term but seems to have a risk attached in that they seem to burn cash at a huge rate, salaries and R&D are big. Also, their share options and pension fund etc seem top heavy, so for me I'm keeping clear of RNVO, realizing it could zoom on the back of positive news. With the amounts they are spending they've probably got to come up with something. Definitely think there's a bit of value in these though and with the nice dividend as well. KIS was showing interest too in buying in unless he has already.........

I will do my tuppence worth on these later and post anon, my hunch is they've got to be in takeover territory at this price, and with that much cash could be a target for a Management buy out, but let's look at their stuff first.......................

Haven't checked these out, is the 42p after any debt has been taken into account and a straight evaluation from the amount of shares in issue? You seem to be good at spotting value shares, which I am interested in more than the higher risk ones I play around with, appreciate your posts...........

Baffled by this share still, kept an eye on it today, it's rated well etc, but nobody buying. Their sales come from two flakey sectors, could this be the reason for lack of interest???

P/E is 6.236 right now..........Financials and property will have to spend on selling adjusted offers and bargains soon after adjusting so maybe their turnover can increase IMO

My point being that if the Directors are going to buy shares they'll wait until the divvie is paid, lots of sells, they buy in on the cheap!!!

Thinking of buying in here. Two things, the CEO says the divvie will be decided at the meeting do you take that to mean that he's deciding the amount or whether to make one at all, just a grey area. Also, do you think there'll be a general bail out after the divvie is paid sending the share crashing down?

Interesting one, diluted EPS average and other factors would on the face of it place a share value somewhere around 50p per share, if performance etc has kept in line since December. The intangible assets would make me invest with caution though, for 2007 they are valued at £11.12M which represents a quarter of turnover approximately, added to this is a very low value of Property, Plant & Equipment at £409K. Which for such a glossy company looks very low IMO. My question is, why there is such a big value put on the intangible assets? Can you shine any light on that area as I wouldn't have much knowledge of the sector they operate in. But the share does look good value on the face of it...............

Why's this happening?

Yes, but have been distracted on other shares since Friday, but see what's happening, thanks!

Any guess on % movement, won't hold you to it?

Rang my broker at 16:25 and asked to buy £15K of VLK, it was not a problem, didn't buy yet obviously, but could have bought at 32.5p and with a push may have got 32.25p. Broker said at that time 370K of shares were traded on the day.........More later!

My brother used to work in R&D until recently for a very large Californian company in San Diego, his area of expertise is video images and sound. The company used to do a lot of work for the Army, Navy, Air Force i.e. leading edge technology that sooner or later gets to be utilzed in main stream society......I'll run VLK by him and see has he any insight...might take a couple of days....will ring my broker to show an interest in £15K of shares and get back to you.......
