This Co is mutually and exclusively tied to Southern Bear by virtue of Government intervention. http://www.lse.co.uk/general-chat-discussion.asp?page=1&TopCode=NG1DL5MM#8238

Hi riddler. All offerings greatfully received. Footprinted elsewhere. http://www.lse.co.uk/general-chat-discussion.asp?page=1&TopCode=NG1DL5MM#8238

On 28 September 2009 J C Mattock Limited Pension Scheme bought 3,560,000 ordinary shares of Southern Bear Plc at a price of 2.125p per share, bringing J C Mattock's total interest in Southern Bear to 22,204,000 shares representing 3.02% of the total voting rights of the Company. Seems like a tad bit of accumulating steadily going on, might just be a bright idea to follow suit.

Hot off the newswire, this was reported within the recent Corporate news offering.The Directors of Southern Bear are pleased to announce that CFC 0084 Limited, a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Bear, has purchased the goodwill, stock, plant and work in progress from the Administrators of Ronald Thompson Limited ("RTL"). RTL is engaged in the refurbishment and maintenance of commercial properties including the provision of heating and plumbing services. The consideration was £40,000 in cash

This has not yet been reported by the London Stock Exchange yet, but Director Nigel Wray purchased 10.05mns shgares paying 2p/share his holdings are now 120.7mns. This compliments other heavy hitting Director purchases recently.

Yes ancelotti and excellent footprint reminding us that Paul Bassi now controls 24.7% of the issued share capital ( isc) representing 84mns shares. I believe Caledonian still own another 28%. Cannot see this Co surviving as an independent for much longer.

Continuing with the theme of Directors seeing a good thing. Trevor Brookes ceo bought up 200k shares on 30th September paying 10p/share. Savvy investors could do no worse than to follow suit in the wake of excellent prelims recently announced.

The board of Patron Sports Leisure and the Independent Directors of Powerleague are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer for the acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Powerleague (other than the Powerleague Shares already held by Patron Sports Leisure and the Management Team Exchange Shares), to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement between Powerleague and its shareholders pursuant to the provisions of Part 26 of the Act.The Acquisition values the entire existing issued share capital of Powerleague at approximately £42.5 million and values each Powerleague Share at 52 pence in cash.

This early stage venture capital investor, announces that MTN Group, the leading telecom operator in emerging markets, has entered into a partnership with IMImobile to bring mobile and online content to 103 million users across 21 countries. The new partnership is a major commercial milestone for IMImobile. SPARK has been instrumental in helping establish ourselves as a leading market player in the mobile and technology sectors in Europe, Asia and Latin America. They are now taking a further major step towards international expansion by entering Africa and the Middle East. With a leading telecom operator on our side, they are well placed to introduce new services more cost effectively and support the growth in subscribers and value-added services in emerging markets."

Like so many tiddlers in the pharma field and wider market, there are a thundering great number of shares issued and the market is awash with too many shares. The Company needs to undergo a strategic re-alignment in order to make the shares attractive to the institutions. There is quite a lot of future positives already built into the sp so pressure ought to be brought to bear on the management for a strategic review. My guess this is another Co that is well below and remain below the analysts and City radar. However, those taking a position at current levels appear to stand an excellent chance of seeing a handsome return on their investment medium longer term.

Following the integration of the business of St Helen's Capital into Evolve Group, Garner plc GAR announces that it has changed its broker to Astaire Securities plc with immediate effect.Must be worth at least £100k/annum extra income to ASTR?

Continued heavy buying in recent sessions in the aftermath of the Finals being released earlier this month. Previous comments still hold regarding this niche player. Might be an idea to follow the buying trend but take profits when presented. Having run up from 55p might be an idea to lock in profits and sell half of holdings run the remainder at no cost.

on 28 September 2009 Jon Pither, a director of the Company, had acquired 750,000 ordinary shares, representing 0.1% of the Company's issued share capital, at a price per share of 2.125 pence.As a result of this transaction Mr Pither's holding is now 18,159,334 ordinary shares, representing 2.47% of the Company's issued share capital.The Company has also been notified that on 28 September 2009 Nigel Wray acquired 10,050,000 ordinary shares at a price per share of 2.125 pence.

Mr Wray also holds £300,000 of Convertible Loan Notes. On the basis that all the parties convert the Convertible Loan Notes at the same time, Mr Wray will hold 18.04% of the issued share capital of the Company. It is usually a wise move to follow Directors' and seasoned investor share trades as they usually indicate the direction of the sshare price.

The drop was merely a correction to the previous overreaction by private investors to the positive drill reports. This Co continues to make significant inroads with its valuable operations.This has been a transformational period for Petroceltic, with an increased recognition of the underlying value of the Company's assets. Algerian drilling operations are now well underway and initial results confirm the significant commercial potential of the permit. The objective will be to maintain and exploit the momentum they have created. The Company will continue to delineate the Ain Tsila gas discovery in Algeria and will also prepare drilling programmes in Tunisia and Italy, which they expect to commence in 2010. They will also continue to pursue other business development opportunities that arise in their area of focus

Might be worth considering that Barclays on behalf of its clients now holds 79.2mns shares up from 72.37Mns so it appears an increase up to 9% or so. Worth taking note of this !
