A directors buy two weeks before year end . Not sure if this is timed to be just before the close period when the directors are unable to buy but have a good idea of how the results are going to turn out. For me this is a great signal and already a 6% rise today but stilll low P/E

I make it more than 8 million shares bought on Friday all at exactly the same price of 53.38 pence. Does this mean that there was a specific order placed at that price that needed to be filled over a number of buys ? If so this is more than 2.5% of the share capital and because most of the share capital is pretty illiquid that means a huge percentage of traded capital bought in a single day. I have been waiting for about 5 years for a takeover from one of the major shareholders and there have been many false dawns - maybe this could be the beginnings of it eventually happening.

There are lots of smallish buys going on at increasingly high prices. The deals are being done at the same time - is it wishful thinking that someone is trying to buy up shares in small batches to as to make it less conspicous. I hope this is the corporate action we have been waiting for the last 5 years and we will reach £1 per share.

Another set of big trades today on top of those a few days ago. Have held on to these for a while now on prospect of one of the major shareholders or management buy out - maybe it might finally be happening. If it is then my patience should be rewarded as the SP should double.

Buller - I hope you are right because I have no funds to buy some more until after Christmas. I've sold some old "non performers" to fund the shares I bought earlier this week but will probably buy somr more at this price. I have got a bunch which I bought at <10p earlier in the year but still believe that these prices represent excellent value.

I've also topped up. I was going to do so before the drop today so feel even more confident that this is a good buy at these levels. I believe that the cost savings these guys have already undertaken coupled with their net business gains ( consistently winning more tenders with >90% retention levels) makes these a good buy.

The latest updates show a small reduction on prior year sales and hence the SP drop but it is interesting that these comparitive numbers were themselves 11% UP on the year before that so overall I read that as being relatively positive particularly in tough times. It may take some time but I do belive there is some good money to be made here and am picking up shares whilst the price is low.

Unfortunately my comments on Monday seem to have been proved right . Pre announcement rise followed by great results ( albeit some concerns about cash generation ) followed by SP drop again. One day however there will be a spectacular rise and I am definitely staying in for when this occurs.

Have been in here for 3 years now and we have had many perannouncement rises which are then followed by great results and a drop in the SP again. I am hoping that this time the price will kick on post announcement as they should given all of the positive news that comes out of this company.

Is this in anticipation of the results. They were out last year on 13th March but the SIG website doesn't give a date for this year - Does anybody know when these will be released ? I am hopeful that the recent rise is due to pending good results.

I have held these shares for around 2 years now and will hang on because I am confident that in the end this share will be recognised but it is very frustrating. It seems that the share drop is beacuse analysis had expected a higher level of petax profit. Whilst I understand this point I cannot understand how these analysts having expected ( if my sums are right ) pretax profits of £48million and year on year growth of 42% in local currency yet valued the company only at £160 million. This gives such a low valuation even before the potential for growth in years to come is factored in. Have faith !

I have been a holder since late 2007 and have seen your regular comments as I have been tracking this share. For me it is a large investment and I am now glad that I kept the faith having topped up as the price dropped. I am intrigued by the suggestion that we can transfer to the HK exchange as there does seem to be quite a big difference between the two prices even after this increase on AIM. It seems that there is a 6 day delay in the transfer during which time the relative prices could change however given that there does seem to be more enthusiasm for this share in HK I believe that the HK price shoudl logically not be lower than the AIM price. Presumably a perfect market will even these things out but it seems to be too good an opportunity to miss. Any thoughts ?

Help me here - these guys have just posted another huge (100%+) increase in 1st half profits compared to last year. They also tend to backend profit with last year showing 70% of pretax profits falling in the 2nd half (due to the dates Indian holidays fall) yet only a minimal increase ishare price. I don't want to keep going on about this share because 'll get boring and I know that ther are many other shares which also look very undervalued but I'd love somebody to point out what I've missed because I think that a business showing such rapid growth which is still relatively liquid/cash generative and profitable in an industry which should be pretty immune to recession would be an ideal place to invest.

should be even more incentivised to create value for the shareholder. Presumably the low dividend levels at the moment are because the director/shareholders believe there is more long term value in keeping the cash in the business for investment particularly given the importance of cash at the moment. My hope/belief is that the director are truly building a long term success story and that this will pay off in the long run. I can't see anything in the business model which should not work and am hoping I have not missed something. I'm just a bit frustrated that in the medium term nothing seems to be happening with the share price - not that i would sell anyway unless the rise was spectacualr - it would however make me feel a lot better about my investment. Roll on some more positive news.

why this share doesn't get more exposure on BB's. It is in a great market area ( the growing worldwide Indian/Bollywood film industry ) with good control of both product and distribution and is growing rapidly each year. It makes excellent margins and has finance arrangements in place if needed. Today's price drop seems to be based on only a few sells and looks a good time to buy. Some quick research can be done just be looking at recent news on this site which give a good indication of the potential. After that please DYOR.
