Digital Look - Newspaper Tips “Most investors will realise that parking their money in a safe place must take precedence over trying to make huge returns. Stagecoach offers this opportunity and punters should buy the stock in the short term. Buy, says the Independent. The Times says that at 192.2p, or eight times next year’s earnings, it is likely to be the trains that put the strain on Stagecoach’s profits – and which gives reason to avoid.” If SP drops much further - may be worth a look?

Thanks for that info - Ithink I'll proceed along these lines. Mark - I''m probably offline now - "good-lady head-nipping problem"! Catch you later ATB PS GLS has fallen out with me, for now! :( Mind you we're heading for the "season of goodwill"!! Take care

Good to hear from you. My query is not directly re: OML, but rather around trading platforms. I've been hacked off with Barclays, for ages, - so moving to HSBC [already have a HBOS a/c] However my question: I looking for a good CFD, FX dealing medium [preferably both on same a/c with share dealing, if possible, also available] I've been sniffing around Halifax, Saxo, Hargreaves Lansdown, but I know that you use IG My point is: Would you recommend them? Take it easy I'm off for some refreshment Speak soon!

Hi Mark are you going around?

TG21 has today been informed that Mr Paul William Frodsham has purchased a total of 300,000 ordinary shares in the Company, bringing his total holding to 3,486,190. Following this purchase, Mr Frodsham's total beneficial holding represents approximately 4.27 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

I note that: Royal Bank of Scotland Plc as Trustee of the BlackRock UK Smaller Companies Fund has recently moved above the 6% threshold

It was a good move to bail out of its vehicle security division, Soundlinx, and its in-car entertainment distribution division. It will be interesting to see how its “21st Century” Eco-Manager & passenger counting products system, and it’s “Pay As You Go” installations, pans out. Its public transport CCTV may also be a winner. Although, it against my stance, as it smacks of “Big Brother connotations” Hmmmm??

The Company announces that at a Board meeting held on 13 October 2008, under the terms of the facility agreement dated 17 January 2008, 1,400,000 Ordinary Shares of 20p ("Ordinary Shares") each were allotted at a price of €0.25 per Ordinary Share. The enlarged issued share capital of the Company now consists of 76,651,954 Ordinary Shares. Application for the admission to AIM of the Ordinary Shares allotted above will be made and dealings are expected to commence on 21 October 2008. The Ordinary Shares will, on admission to AIM, rank pari passu with, and will be identical in all respects to, the existing ordinary shares of the Company. Application will also be made at the earliest practical opportunity for admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on Euronext Amsterdam

ASM hasn’t suffered some of the catastrophic drops that other pharmas have seen over the last 3-6 months. However, it also does not seem to be realising its true potential!

I always get hacked off with the large spread for GFM SP Sell - 22.50p Buy - 25.00p With around 300K traded today - it's not on! But it is always the same.

Not quite sure what is going on with major shareholders: BlackRock Inc moved just below 12%, while RBS, as trustees of BlackRock Smaller Co. Fund moved just above 6% - probably some accounting “jiggery-pokery” ?

Don’t know if we quite plumbed the depths of single digits, however it certainly fairly gloom here, again for now!

The deal with PTI [where my interest is] – will create one of the UK’s biggest biotech companies. The combined entity will have a R& D pipeline of neurology, oncology, and critical care products. They reckon a R&D saving – as a combined group – of £10 million [£30 mil. c.f. with £ 40 mil. as individual entities] They seem to think that the deal will go through, and re-iterate their BUY advice.
