On the ball this morning guys I've not had my cornflakes yet and there's three posts in. Not read the rns yet I presume it's a long un' I'll save it till later. Let's hope it's what's needed to give us a move up from this 220's ish rut. Soleman did you take a wee punt on PHTM during our mauling at the hands of the Sunday newspapers. In the end I loved it doubled my holding while taking almost 15p off my average. Still haven't pushed the button on Genel yet just can't get myself to do it. D. PROPER 240p's HERE NEXT WEEK.

Thanks Velo Something positive about PHTM to read while having my cornflakes. To be fair to the company they have alluded to this possible increase in business in Japan in several rns's over the last twelve months or so however it's good to see you have went to the trouble to research then update the detail for us. Do I detect market confidence coming back to Phtm. Yesterday's sudden upturn in the share price was hopefully a sign that they are. D.

That was an unexpectedly decent opening price, perhaps I should stay up late and write tosh on here more often. D.

on here now guess we all have to be patient till next trading update. I was just re- reading last years AGM results and noted that a share buyback program was approved I certainly have not seen any evidence of a buyback, I could be wrong I usually am. I'm not a lover of buyback but maybe if they introduce one along with a good set of trading figures confidence could be restored here eventually. D.

I agree JG lots of sensible posters and posts on here. Like a few others on here I've had AGR, PHP & MXF on my watch list for a while. All three have very similar share movement patterns but I think AGR is the most undervalued of the three at the moment. Company values are subjective it's just my opinion. I'm not looking at this as an LTH I'll settle for your 60p JG. Whatever think it's time to get in, will look for a nice entry price this week. D.

Some big sells after the close and final auction was 149800 shares which sold at 172.5p. So all in all a good finish. Lets see what the rest of the week brings. D.

Sorry hammy007 didn't mean to ignore you there. Can't see myself any special reason for the rise today. Lot's going on this year. New Manchester hospital recently opened another in Nottingham also to open this year. Delayed opening of newly refurbished St Anthonys seemed to cause last retrace perhaps that's just being reversed at last as it appeared to be overdone. Whatever let's hope we can hold the rise. D.

More serious negative news about NHS today. If my memory is correct part of our recent retrace was due to NHS cutting there use of SPI facilities. Hopefully that business comes back this year. A lot of other positive stuff going on this year so I'm comfortable holding here. D.

You've got me there TK are you possibly on the wrong board. Nothing but occasionally posting gentle folk on here. D.

Looks like we'll test 175p again today guys. We've been there twice before in the last six weeks or so only to drop like a stone to low 160p's again. Hope everyone topped up last week when we hit 160p. Like a fool I did not, had an offer at 160.8p and never took it. Guess that's why we've on the up, never fails !!!!!!! D.

Whatever they are I'm hoping this flurry of major investor activity continues perhaps it will help us get above the recent current trade pattern. I think it might be divi payment this week it's only 3.5p but every little helps. D.

Lets hope so Wizard. No doubt the madness will just move somewhere else. I could see Domino's Pizza being the next share to bomb if the Sunday Papers come out with a daft story along the lines of. Pizza company's share price bomb after Mail on Sunday reports Pizza's can be made at home. D.

A bit to much information there Derek. D.

I see that crazy opening price never shook free any cheap shares for mm's. D.

Goldman Sachs have once again increased their control of shares through a stock loan arrangement. I've read all I can about stock loan ( physical ) accounting arrangements. As I see it this arrangement comes about when a bank takes control of a share holders shares as collateral against a loan during a set or open time frame. I can't see that this is bad news for us as I can't see GS taking anything as collateral for an open time frame loan that was liable to diminish in value during the time frame of the loan. I think I've proved on here many times that I'm no accountant anyone else with any ideas !!!!! I'm happy to be proved wrong I'd just like to know for sure whats going on. D.

Hi Joe Like yourself I'm struggling with this stock loan physical position. CFD's are easier to understand Contract for Difference. You only need to put 10% of the share price down to take control of a share. In one of the best Freudian slips I've ever heard a broker once told me about buying through CFD's " it's like gambling with money you don't have " Never took him up on that offer. D.

there was a quarterly trading update last year on 28th February. So would expect one around that time this year as well. With the current state of the share price you'd imagine it would be sooner rather than later!!!!!!! D.

I agree sir, I've seen other share prices dip on better trading updates than that one today so I am hopeful an upward move from the lowly range we've been stuck in of late is probable !!!! D.

Average number of trades and volume just slightly greater than normal today. Now if only ' Serge ' would buy another 5 million tickets a speedy recovery would be on the cards !!!! I could have understood the panic if we were doing business only in the UK but PHTM operate near enough the same profitable business in 17 different countries and I seriously doubt that selfies taken with a sheet pinned to the wall are ever going to be universally accepted as official proof of identity by many world wide goverment agencies. D

Hi Wizard Took a small position here on the last dip a few months ago, was recovering well guess I just held on to long. Anyway average not sky high so it's a waiting game once again. Phtm now also a waiting game don't even know if a good trading update will help that much. Common sense now out the window over there. Hope you managed to limit the damage by averaging down or day trading. D.
