very strong IMS released this am

at 6.50 it seems, a few brokers had this target. the same thing happened around 6.05 if i recall correctly. it didnt take long to move on, although the fantastic set of results hadnt been announced then. unless news of a special div materialises, then i dont foresee much newsflow coming out way from ptec, so 650 may just be a good time to sell and take a few profits if you have been lucky enough to be in here for a while. be nice to see 650 get broken though!!
