Analyst ratings: A total of 2 analyst's ratings are published. One is 'buy' and the other is 'outperform' These ratings are from last Friday, 28th when of course the figures were known. No ratings are shown on LSE. Also on FT.com, it's confirmed that over 47% of shares are held by institutional investors. In total there are about a dozen of them. Just thought you might be interested.

Totally agree Mikey, they need to deliver on the sales now. A few weeks back, Corac were featured in a Telegraph recruitment piece - Graduates - but I think it was for the R&D side of things. I'll see what I can find out about the sales side.

You're probably right about the news being factored in, Elliott. Explains the nice movements this week. That said, it wasn't in the public eye until today, as far as I can make out.

Well spotted short. Wonder why no RNS (yet). Couldn't see anything about value of contract. Will check out idea's website.

Rocal, it rather sounds like for you (and maybe other long-termers) that Corac have become like one of those irritating spots which you just have to scratch from time to time (much pleasure to be gained from having a scratch) but which you'd miss if it wasn't there. The difference for me with this share, is that I'm only interested in how well positioned this company is to give shareholder value in the future. It has the products, the cash, diversity, high profile customers/business partners, institutional investors and are moving in the right direction in terms of cost control. So, there are solid foundations unlike some AIM companies which seem to be built on hot air. All in my opinion of course!

Rocal, not sure if you are being entirely serious or just venting, but if you are serious, the answer to what corac do (design, patent and manufacture) is on their website, split according to each business. I'm sure you've gone through it so I'm a bit surprised that you haven't found what you're looking for. There's no point in me repeating here that which is in the public domain. The prelims give you the info you need on the financial position. What I find particularly strange is why would some investors want to offload now when things are looking so much better than last year? Not forgetting of course, very importantly, that the accounting has been done on a 'going concern' basis. Finally, if you go to the investor section of the website, you'll find contact info for the registrar who should be able to help with liquidating your shares. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I'm happy that CRA are a good stock for my AIM portfolio and are well placed to deliver - each to his own though.

Me too Mikey. It looked earlier on as though the sp had stabilised. So far, there are only 18 trades and mostly sells so this is hardly a mass exodus but as yet not enough buyers to turn the tide. So surprised because the company is in a really good position to push forward. We need to see the pipeline interest being converted to orders.

Divi corrected from 1.1p to 1.2p in line with prelims. Ignore my last post!

Thanks Chan. Now, unless I've misread stuff, I thought in the prelims, the final divi was to be 1.2p per share not 1.1p as proposed now?

Opening trading can be volatile of course, but what a start. Hope Visainn had a change of heart and picked some of these up.

Rocal, don't drop off - you just might miss something. Meanwhile hmmmm...'bobey-bed'. Had to Google that one. Was a bit concerned about what I might find, because despite my short-lived business venture at The Red Onion saloon, I have led a very sheltered life. Anyway, I went for it. First thing was a 'You Tube' video of someone called Bobby doing something in bed. Well that was an eye opener. I was so disgusted I had to watch it twice. Then I found 'urban dictionary'; 'a notoriously dead-end situation for which there is no clear or obvious escape.' Ah ha that's it then! Tell you what though, at least with this bb , posters seem pretty pragmatic and level headed.

Kabouter Management (US investment house) increases holding to 4%. This looks like a real vote of confidence for TIG. Kabouter seek out non US small caps in growth industries who are yet to be discovered by the larger institutional investors. They aim to hold the stock until large institutions wade in (driving up the price). Kabouter say they sometimes engage in 'friendly shareholder activism' to help companies become more attractive to larger institutional investors. Cracking!

Indeed Wisdom. Looking back through last rns, IDEA were hopeful of providing positive news of further contract wins in near future. Could be some more good news in the offing.

Now Rocal, I think you're a switched on sort of chap so my guess is, looking at the chart from 2002, you've done pretty well out of CRA over the years, banking profits here and there. Hopefully you're in profit overall. Am I right? 300% (ish) gain between 2004 and 2008, gains eroded between 2008 and 2009 then 500% gain between 2009 and 2010. Looking to the future, based on the financials, CRA is in a much better position than it was last year but I agree with the earlier poster's comment that more revenue (contracts) really is the key to turning a profit now. No reason to think they won't get there. All in my opinion of course.

Something going on - up 5.5% so far at 9.00 am

Indeed Waveydavey. It's interesting that as far as I can see the sells are in quite small denominations so my guess is that it's private investors who maybe hadn't read the trading update rns and perhaps were expecting a turn to profit, or just got a bit alarmed when the share price started to move down, so you get a snowball effect which is why in my opinion, if there is nothing fundamentally flawed then it's worth waiting for things to settle. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this pans out over the next few days and take stock of any press coverage.

Is that a buy I see amongst a sea of red? Ah ha - someone not following the herd. Is that a stormtrooper Rocal or something rude? Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut. A Madame indeed - The Red Onion saloon in Skagway. Must have seen you in there. Meanwhile, at least the movements today have got you out of bed.

Ah, there is life out there. Hello Mutley - back to sleep then!

No surprises there then......yet. See what happens once the finals have been analysed and where the sp settles over next few days. There should be a positive reaction imo.

Revenue increased and losses reduced by quite a margin.. Overall, moving in right direction. Pretty well in line with trading update. Hopefully, the City won't be disappointed.
