It's been looking nicely blue here for the past few days. Someone mopping up a few? Things looking up on the Airbus or Augusta fronts? Greetings to all Lionel

We had a pretty downbeat statement from the CEO a couple of weeks back, with no mention of the aerospace progress. The SP fell. Now we hear that the company is "in the final stages..." with its aerospace partners, a business's development manager is appointed (why on earth do that now unless growth prospects are on the cards). Today buys outweigh sells by more than a million in unusually high trade volumes. But still the SP falls significantly. So here is my guess: we're seeing strong manipulation by the MMs, they are encouraging sells with the SP, while someone, perhaps institutional investors, are building a stake. If I'm right, we can look forward to a good rise in the coming days. Any contrary thoughts? Greetings to all fellow long term holders. It's been too quiet here for too long! Lionel

... it's been quiet here. When we are we expecting an update, anyone out there have any idea? Cordially Lionel

Have I missed something? Is there any news on Airbus? regards Lionel

Thanks, Roger. I take your point about the possibility of Amati selling, but it seems even more interesting for us shareholders that someone out there is buying, relatively bigtime... we'll continue watching with interest! regards Lionel

Always nice to speculate, Roger! Thanks for sharing. I imagine there must be a clue in the unusually large spread (1.40-1.65) - perhaps the tail end of the big buy order from last week is still going through? Anyway, I'm holding. regards Lionel

I mean, this is the same buyer, right?

Any thoughts, Roger?

I agree with your sentiments, Nicton. The hypothesis that there is a large buy order going through seems a sound one, and perhaps best fits the facts. Excellent! Lionel

... more than 3 million shown as sells, only 100k or so as buys. Is it possible that the SP holds up (actually rises) with such a volume of sells, or are some of these shown as large sells actually large buys? There are some out there who understand the markets better than us poor souls who just hope to see the technology recognised and applied more widely. Whats going on, d'y'think? Greetings, Lionel.

Our plans for the expansion of capacity are on track, both in the UK and US, reflecting developing customer demand. A number of new applications are in test for customers across a range of industries, which strengthens Hardide's medium-term revenue pipeline."

When is it? Showing my ignorance here. Lionel

Good question, Poacher866. Must say that I've been thinking more in terms of capital appreciation of the company. I'm looking for a SP of 5p by year end.

What significance is this transfer of 1 million shares from a director to "another employee"? http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc/rns/director-dealing/201501191030175059C/

.. to buy, I would have thought, unless all the fanfare at the end of last year had no substance! HNY Lionel

2014 has seen good news and encouraging company results, but we are still waiting for the wider demand and recognition which will eventually lift the share price. Here's hoping that 2015 will see our patience rewarded! Seasons greetings to all HDD supporters! Lionel

...nice and solid. It's worth reading the Chairman and CEO Report. This is not necessarily going to lead to a big share price jump, but does underline the excellent prospects for long term growth.
