I wonder what they class as "a nmominal sum" ? In addition to 700k appears to be a huge vote of confidence imho ... interesting times ahead I reckon especially when you look at previous company history i.e. Bell Pottjnger !

47k isn't exactly loose change now is it ?? Surely consistent buying on behalf of the board IS a sign of confidence regardless of the amount !! Any other observations you would like to make re the rise in the SP or is it just a fluke ????

Not according to bobbymacc's theory ... because it's alll about fundamentals.... I'm going to check with warren buffet just in case because he might have an insight on this AIM listed conoany eh bobbymacc ???? IMHO DYOR 8-/
