Agreed Breton59. Trading updates with no factual structure are rather pointless;yet so many companies issue these,generally stating that trading is "in line with expectations" . Waste of time !

The presentation mirrored their February trading update itsamaybe. I wonder who dumped half a million BYOT shares at 2.85 pence just before the close today(and whether they know something we do not). The US$ aspect of those "accelerated EPA costs"cannot be much fun. Now where are those preliminary results ?

"In addition an element of the Group’s revenue and overhead transactions is completed in a foreign currency. Transaction exposure is hedged through the use of currency accounts."

There is still time to get back into STL,should you decide that your exit was a little hasty. The recent endorsement of AuthorBridge by IBM is for me massive as is the fact that IBM are to utilise AB exclusively throughout their organisation to provide guided + fluid authoring solution for their SME’s and casual contributors. Should IBM identify that they could globally scale sales of STL technology then Stilo's days as an independent could be numbered.It was very difficult to buy Stilo shares in any size on Friday afternoon,yet one could sell 250k at a premium. Very interesting times for this micro-cap.

Thank you Dibs61 for that as I will look forward to a pat on the back in due course. Large turnover can often be a prelude to corporate activity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcDy8HEg1QY

Dibs61. I do not know to whom the parcel went. I do know that STL were looking for their first institutional investor.

We know where they came from but...... ? You may be sorry to be out Dibs61 were you to know the answer. Nothing has changed and Stilo,imo,remains a superb investment opportunity.

Although we don't know.Dibs61,based on the pricing guide for AB,the engagement by IBM at enterprise level would generate minimum revenues of US$500k p.a. I consider it doubtful that IBM would contract to pay the going rate,having regard to their technical contributions towards its development over the past two to three years. The view of the STL BOD was that the validation by IBM would open many doors. I see that you too have an interest in palm oil ! Having spent the past seven days exploring all things Liberian/Equatorial Palm OIl/planting and cultivating,I can see the potential for PAL could be very significant. What served to promote your interest in what is a pretty obscure company?

I hope you are soon out and operating at full power Dibs61. I don't think I will manage to attend either,more is the pity. Good to see the small tick up.(7 pence here we come)

Breton59 The ultimate company recommendation ? My parents used to hold Harrison and Crossfield many decades ago. For you to suggest this doubtfully managed, tenuously controlled,Libyan focused,nascent operation;you must have something more to tell us. I am aware of a significant Director share purchase at a premium last year and can see the potential to leverage the balance the balance sheet asset.. Can't wait for you to spill a few beans .

MMs seem to want our Stilo shares again, for after a bit of a lull, they are bidding 5.555 pence, in size. Hopefully this might preface the SP test recent highs as the date set for AGM draws nearer.

I had attributed that 150k to you Dibs61. My coffers are already rammed to the gills with STL shares.

Having exited these @ 5 pence after the results(as they introduced nothing that we were not aware of) I am in no rush to return until those 3 pence levels are retested. I was not impressed by the revenue increase having in mind the huge increase in retail outlets achieved through 2015. The mention of not being able to push through a price increase was an amber light as was the need to reformulate the equine product. The Pure Science range is something of a relaunch of a product that did not sell well under a different name a few years back. The switch from Germany to France for their planned expansion into Europe seemed a last minute decision. Finally,I have 4 grand children at primary schools where nits inevitably raise their ugly heads.Peculiarly, there is no "buzz" about Vamousse being the answer or indeed being used,although the mums do seem aware of the advert. Just my thoughts on a company that I follow closely and all in my opinion only. Incidentally I didn't feel that Bruno was quite his normal confident suave self in his two most recent presentations.

Funnily enough Dibs61, I funded my account yesterday in order to add a few. The MMs have always been trigger happy with the Stilo share price,never wanting to hold,yet very reluctant to go short.Additionally,imo,they havn't got a clue what the STL story is all about. For me,Stilo is an absolute gem of a company that well cross the chasm sometime over the next couple of years. That is if IBM don't make a move first.

Thank you Dibs61. It is good to see that the Stilo share price is once again reflecting the continued buying activity. Even after the last marked trade,being a 100k sale ,the MMs remain keen to buy stock,currently bidding 6.55 pence for 100,000+ shares. I am waiting with baited breath in anticipation of a 7.00 pence trade !

As you say Dibs61,it is most odd. The bid has edged up again this morning,whilst the MMs will not part with any stock. I even tried a fill and kill @ 6.66 pence,to no avail(failed). At the last Stilo AGM the CEO stressed that AuthorBridge was not being offered to large organisations as a peripheral service;rather that it would be deployed at the very core of the enterprise. For me then,it is hugely relevant that STL have very recently amended their website to read,"AuthorBridge from Stilo.......... breaking down the barriers to enterprise DITA adoption." This quantum leap has been enabled by Stilo's long term collaboration with IBM. "We have made considerable progress with the development of AuthorBridge in 2015, working closely with an internationally renowned customer that has helped guide our technical efforts. Following successful beta testing, AuthorBridge is now scheduled to be deployed by them in full production in the coming months." Where IBM lead,might not the rest of the corporate world follow. Stilo could be huge.It might lose its independence. Whatever path is followed,investors could be exceedingly well rewarded. Well worth buying,imo.

Very odd market,for the Stilo SP is about to show a fall to just 6 pence;yet one can sell in size for 6.095 pence ! I wonder which direction the next move will be in.

AGM Wednesday, 18 May 2016 at 11.30am – at the offices of on RSM UK Audit LLP, 25 Farringdon Street, London EC4A 4AB. I hope someone from the LSE could turn up,enjoy and provide some feedback,for I will be away on the 18th. I had been seeking a link to the presentation that Stilo gave, along with IBM’s Mike Iantosca, at CMS/DITA North America 2016 . Stilo have advised me that although the conference sessions were not recorded,they are repeating the presentation as part of the Stilo DITA Knowledge Series on Wednesday 15 June at 5,00pm BST,with the necessary link for registration being available on the STL website. The share price shows a fall this morning,yet the bid has just risen to 6.095;its fourth consecutive small incremental increase over recent days. Looking good all round,imo.

Thanks for the reassurance Dibs ! I have just bought another 50k and had to pay a slightly higher price,so maybe the matching seller is less evident today. Rather funny though when one feels happier for having to pay extra.

I kept buying STL shares this morning(shown as sells)only to see the SP fall after each purchase. Bizarre.
