With the IC tip now out in the open, it makes one wonder whether the MMs were 'tipped the wink' around lunch time and immediately saw a mouth-watering opportunity to make a quick buck. Knowing that there's a lot of Carclo shareholders sitting on the edge of their seats these days, they only need a gentle nudge to go rushing for the exit; it worked a treat. No sympathy from me for such gullible types, they shouldn't be invested in CAR in the first place. [Just my theory!]

Having been incommunicado for the past couple of months, a bit of catching up to do on recent announcements:- 1st Dec - Appointment of non-executive director http://uk.advfn.com/news/UKREG/2014/article/64621913; director Mcullen resigns http://uk.advfn.com/news/UKREG/2015/article/65039409; FD appointed http://uk.advfn.com/news/UKREG/2015/article/65329784. On top of that, numerous attendances at exhibitions and conferences in UK, USA and Germany with more coming up in the not-too-distant future. All in all, everything appears to be going swimmingly albeit slowly.

I have never understood why MMs are not required to declare, at the time they report a trade, whether it's as a buy or a sale. Other than that would allow us simpletons, sorry investors, to know what is actually taking place, thus making it a level playing field and that would never do! If all these (alleged) large sales are just that, and the sp is not falling like a stone, might we assume that there is a large buy order being filled?

(i) A new non-exec appointment of lady au fait with the software business: http://uk.advfn.com/news/UKREG/2014/article/64621913. (ii) A prestigious construction industry award win for Aspa Powerproject: http://uk.advfn.com/news/RNSNON/2014/article/64630448. Confirmation that Eleco finally appears to be heading in the right direction.

Until such time as the persisent 'seller' - I've assumed it to be Atmari disposing of their surplus shares converted recently at the mouth-watering rate of 0.45p/share - HDD's sp is going to struggle to move up. But as has been said already this morning, a solid results announcement which should bode well for patient investors.

Why is it permissable (in this electronic age) that Market Makers are allowed to record significant trades (i.e. yesterday's two 3.0m marks) over a day later as well as after the market has closed? Don't they have enough advantage over us poor suckers [sorry, investors] from the outset?

Another change to improve operations/profits: http://eleco.dp-os.com/scripts/php/rns_viewer.php?id=22194667

Investors appear oblivious to what has/is happening at Eleco. Perhaps it'll take an increased profit announcement before the penny drops but, by then of course, the MMs will have hoisted the sp by 20%!

I found it somewhat of a surprise that there was so little market reaction following the announcement re increasing production in Bicester and probably USA. Perhaps, with so many false dawns in the past, investors are adopting a 'seeing is believing' attitude. I must be viewing things through rose-coloured specs because (imo) this can only be interpreted as excellent news for long suffering shareholders.

I couldn't agree more. As mentioned by the chairman, once the company's share capital realignment has been fomally Court approved, it should be full steam ahead for company profits and shareholders alike.

A positive and comforting trading update for shareholders. The additional capacity coming on stream at Bicester later this year should improve profitability even more. Onwards and upwards.

Helium Rising Star Fund have acquired 46.875 mil shares (or 3.51%). I didn't notice any of those going through the market 14 days ago.

First one concerns an exciting new prospect called o2c - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0yaF9V2CJk&feature=youtu.be and the second is a RNS issued this morning stating that a private investor wants to buy an additional 1.0 mil shares following the recent 'Subscription' fund-raising - http://uk.advfn.com/news/UKREG/2014/article/63308525. Has the blue touch paper been lit at last?

Mr Herbert Allen jnr and his family have increased their shareholding from 5.76 mil to 11.51 mil shares and now control 15.6% of ELCO's share capital. Confidence or foolishness?

New appointment, CEO with a software CV: [http://hsprod.investis.com/ir/elco/ir.jsp?page=news-item&item=1800806772768768]

Promising outlook from the chairman especially bearing in mind that Sweden's economy, where Eleco are well established, has recently appeared to be improving. I'll be 'subscribing' for a few more.

Announcement yesterday (copied from another thread): 'Eleco PLC ("ELECO" or the "Company") - 24 June 2014 [Specialist Software Applications for the Construction Industry.] Reclassification to 'Software' (sub-sector of 'Software & Computer Services') from the 'Construction and Materials' classification of FTSE Industry Classification Benchmark ELECO plc (AIM: ELCO), the wholly focused international specialist software group serving the construction industry, is pleased to announce that following the divestment of its precast and building systems interests in 2013, the FTSE industry classification of the Company has changed today and has been reclassified to 'Software & Computer Services'; sub-sector 'Software'. The Company was formerly classified under the 'Construction and Materials' sector.'
