Any other firm details from AGM. I dont under Pelliots negativity. Newsgate is a global brand with offices all across the world. I think the days of the board covering losses is well and truly over. Mixed trades today but you would expect some profit taking above 10p.

Yes things are looking good. Can't see any more RNS releases. (I did check after Director one.) Finance director is still missing from the role call. Hopefully get a nice boost today from RNS. Nothing negative at all today. Just need a broker re rate now to 14-15p. September should be a good month for Porta with 6 month results. Hope the large buyer goes in big now.The sell prices has been rising all week.

Director's Shareholding Porta Communications plc, the AIM quoted international marketing and communications business, has been notified that Mr Raymond McKeeve, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, yesterday purchased 1,097,346 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company at an average price of 9.1p per share. Following this purchase, Mr McKeeve is beneficially interested in 4,347,346 ordinary shares in Porta representing 1.57 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

RNS out. Porta Communications Plc, the AIM quoted international marketing and communications business, will make the following trading announcement at the AGM. The strong trading pattern highlighted at the time of our preliminary results has continued throughout the first half of 2015. EBITDA after all costs will be significantly higher than that achieved in the whole of 2014. Also, as previously indicated, there will be a big reduction in exceptional costs, reflecting the growing maturity of all our start-ups. The three main acquisitions made in 2014, Redleaf, Publicasity and PPS are all performing well, while the international start-ups (operating under the Newgate brand) in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore are all trading at record levels. The board remains confident about the outcome for 2015.

I saw this large trade coming when price spiked last night.

We quickly went down from 16p to 6p. If the company shows decent ebitda on Thursday it will demonstrate how well Porta is doing. Remember we have been at 6-8p due to legacy sellers. The broker rates share at 11p. Sure there are still people that want out here but BM's large buys have helped clear the large overhang. We now have a situation where buyers are returning. We have at least one large trader who has been stocking up over last 1-2 weeks. Even with the large sell at 13.32 we had a further buy at 9.5p on isdx.This suggests that someone wants to buy more shares. I think this could be start of a re rate. I am feeling very bullish. This is something Adastra has been suggesting for months. If the mm are short of stock the price will rise quickly.

Quite a few trades at 9.25 on Isdx. Quickly treating here. Positive AGM could see 10p quite easily.

I am convinced this is one buyer who has been dipping in last few weeks with large trades.9p has not put him off. Hoping an institution. One 90k at 8.9p buy on Isdx today. I think for now 8.5-9p is normal trading. Looking good for Thursday.

Posted before I had finished. The positive here is the words 'expanding team'. Indicating that their workload is growing. Makes me even more positive about the AGM this week.

http://gorkana.com/news/corporate-and-financial/people-news/newgate-bolsters-consultancy/ Alex has worked in financial PR since 2010, starting her career at KTZ Communications before joining Blytheweigh, where she led the technology team. She has advised both AIM and Main Market listed companies across a variety of sectors, including TMT, industrial, housebuilding and healthcare. Tim Thompson, Managing Partner said: "Alex brings a depth of sector experience which will be a great asset to the expanding team and we are delighted that she has joined us."

Looking on ISDX I just found this. 19/06/2015 16:13 30,000 @ 9 Someone buying in at 9p! Meaning the 8.6p trade at 16.14hrs was a sell. This could be very good news come Thursday if the trading statement is positive. The 90k and 50k were certainly sells and were probably the usual seller. He might be running out of stock. Once the buyers return here we could easily see 10p soon. Especially if the TS matches the brokers forecast. The seller appears to be selling against the market here. I can't see an institution selling up on a stock that could rise 20-30% here. Pretty sure BM bought stock on basis of the firm doing well.

I was waiting for a large Friday trade. We seem to have a big seller but also someone else buying in regularly With 200-275k blocks. Could it be an institution buying in? Or would they buy in with higher volumes? They could easily take out a large seller if it was. Exciting times for Porta.

Just to add the blurb from Gorkana. Charles Ansdell (pictured), head of professional & financial services at Redleaf, added: “Charles Stanley is an established marquee brand in the wealth management space, renowned for quality customer service to private clients and through financial advisers. "It is moving into an exciting period of ambitious growth targets, and is well placed through its direct to consumer and traditional wealth management offerings to achieve them. This is an excellent account for Redleaf to win and we are all looking forward to working with the Charles Stanley team.' http://gorkana.com/news/corporate-and-financial/pitch-wins/charles-stanley-recruits-redleaf/ This is one of about 5 accounts Redleaf has won in not so many months. Redleaf is blossoming under Porta. Hopefully the TS at AGM will show just how much.

It was just a review. 2.M-2.5M Ebidta would look good here. Realistically we could at best expect 3-3.5M profit this year if the figures and growth continue positively. This allows for the 4 new purchases to add to the bottom line. We had many one off costs last year which could add up to 0.7-1M. Add on 1M profit from the new firms not even seen in the results. Plus a business which is gradually maturing. So based on this I am firmly expecting apositive TS at the AGM. That and based on BM and other directors buying up nearly 12M shares between them.

http://www.shareprophets.com/views/12823/zak-mir-s-great-request-show-orsu-metals-porta-communications-ruspetro The site suggests 7p as a base with a 12p bull point. That would suggest a near 50% upturn here is possible. Of course we have seen this all before. Might be some profit taking today given last Friday's surge. Seems to me any buy below 8-8.5p could be good value if the TS at AGM is positive. A positive TS would give more pressure towards the 11-12p mark if they match the brokers forecasts.

Been a strange 1-2 week. Results seemingly suggesting the underlying figures were positive and 2015 could be cash generative. Then with the 2 large trades from Bob Morton worth 6.3M/2M. Both of which now appear to have been arranged and done to take out two legacy investors. An overhang of 8M shares removed. Following this 6.3mln trade we have had a roller coaster week. Jumping to 8.3p to dip back to 7.1p a few days later when it appeared a seller returned. Now today we see a near 12% rise. From what I have read online one site put it down to market following BM 6.3M trade. (Strangely no site mentioned the large sell.) (http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/market_reports/107977/risers-and-fallers-including-trap-oil-afren-amur-minerals-forte-energy-octagonal-107977.html) It could also be largely due to near 300k buys and a further late 250k trade on ISDX at 16.28pm. So nearly 500k buys in one day with 1-2? small sells. Its good to see the buys coming in are actually pushing the share up unlike before the results. If this lasts maybe a positive AGM could push us closer to 9-10p. Assuming we have no big sellers left and the sells this week were just small investors. Next 9-10 trading days should be interesing.

Looked at this more closely. Actually the first trade we saw at 6.92p was a sell. BM trade was at 7p. Just as you said BM was taking out a large seller who actually sold more shares than BM bought. Maybe GH or another large investor? Too much time delay for a shareholder over 3% for the RNS. Maybe another smaller investor we don't know about? This now explains what BM did with the 2.3M seller of share on the release of the results. Pretty sure the 2.3M trade was also a sell. Looks like both trades were arranged. Unclear who the 2.3M seller is. So is BM protecting the share or investing as the share is under valued?? Hmmmm.

Paul Scott has mentioned PTCM today in his SCVR today. His comments start at 42 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRntqFAIvgM&feature=youtu.be He is encouraged by directors buys and this is reason why he has held onto his stocks. Looked at figures for this year and Bob has bought 10 mln shares this year in PTCM. While Bob has been selling shares in other firms.

Buys coming in at 8.35. What a difference a day makes. MM short on shares? Last trade pushed price up 0.35p.

Bob Morton has bought 6.3M shares. He has bought over 9M shares this year. Well if an institution or ex director is trying to dump their shares the directors are quickly soaking up the leftover shares. If the share price remains at 7P then you can assume a large sell order still being filled. The 2 institutions have near 16M shares each. Hopefully DW can find a new institution soon. It will be interesting to see market reaction when it opens. Porta Communications plc, the AIM quoted international marketing and communications business, has been notified that Mr Bob Morton, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, yesterday purchased 6,300,000 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company at a price of 7p per share through Hawk Investments Holdings, a company beneficially owned by Bob Morton and his wife. Following this purchase, Mr Morton is beneficially interested in 42,586,318 ordinary shares in Porta representing 15.36 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
