INSE are recommended in a new article which recommends eight companies which meet Slater's investment criteria. There are three companies amongst the eight which begin with the letter "i" - IGR, INSE and IOM - and I own them all, yet own none of the others! Strange but true.... http ://www.iii.co.uk/articles/460481/8-top-shares-meet-jim-slaters-investment-rules "Eight top shares that meet Jim Slater's investment rules By Stockopedia and Ben Hobson | Wed, 15th November 2017 - 14:24"

Hopefully it'll be in tomorrow's print edition too: "Tip Update: Buy at 145p By Mark Robinson Half-year figures reaffirm that the resolution of operational issues at Carclo�s (CAR) technical plastics division is under way. Although underlying profit fell on the 2016 comparative, and revenue flatlined once currency and acquisition effects are factored in, the division�s operating margins are now expected to �improve significantly�. Following the successful expansion of a production facility in India, and expectations of a higher proportion of design and tooling profits recognised in the second half, that optimism appears well grounded. A 16 per cent rise in underlying profitability in the LED technologies business partially offset the difficulties within technical plastics and the group�s smaller aerospace arm, but underlying earnings were still constrained. The LED division is also set fair for the remainder of 2018 as several pre-development programmes are expected to translate into project awards over the second half. �Design, development and sub-contract tooling revenues� were ahead of management expectations, while the ability to meet the build up in orders has been met by increased warehousing capacity in Buckingham. Peel Hunt forecasts adjusted pre-tax profit of �12.7m for the March 2018 year-end, leading to EPS of 13p, against �11m and 12.1p in 2017. These developments were largely foreshadowed in September�s trading update, so shareholders will now concentrate on the extent to which the design and tooling profits will be second-half weighted. Net debt is up, a reflection of recent capital commitments, but it remains well within banking covenants. At 145p, the shares are slightly up on our original call (137p, 30 Apr 2015) but trade below the peer average at an undemanding 11 times forecast earnings. Buy."

Excellent - Berenberg have today initiated coverage with a Buy and a 350p target price: Http://investing.thisismoney.co.uk/broker-views/ I suspect they've left themselves room for further increases in the target price at a later date.

An encouraging late tick up last night.....with 200,000 shares reported bought after the close at 24.4p.

The CEO is spreading the word in the USA (on December 6th): Http://www.4-traders.com/GAMEACCOUNT-NETWORK-15011763/news/Gameaccount-Network-GAN-to-Present-at-the-10th-Annual-LD-Micro-Main-Event-25503656/ "Gameaccount Network : GAN to Present at the 10th Annual LD Micro Main Event 11/14/2017 | 03:03pm CET LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2017 / GAN plc (LSE: GAN) ("GAN" or the "Company") a leading B2B supplier of Internet gaming enterprise software-as-a-service solutions to the US land-based casino Industry, today announces that GAN CEO, Dermot Smurfit, will be presenting at the 10th annual LD Micro Main Event on Wednesday, December 6 at 7:30 AM PT / 10:30 AM ET at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.

The Company will webcast the presentation, which can be found here: http://wsw.com/webcast/ldmicro13/gmmnf/."

ACSO have won Best New Product at IAAPA - that will really have grabbed the attendees' attention: https://twitter.com/accessoTech/status/930551358863872001 ""We�re proud to announce that today at the 2017 @IAAPAHQ Attractions Expo we were presented with the Brass Ring Best New Product Award for accesso Prism! This is a huge honor for our team to be recognized as a technology leader in the amusements industry." I also notice that Carnival Cruises are to extend the Ocean Medallion device to a further 7 cruise ships by January'19: Https://www.psfk.com/2017/10/carnival-offers-cruise-ship-guests-a-wearable-tailored-to-their-needs.html "Carnival plans to incorporate Ocean Medallion into seven additional ships by January 2019. The program brings the �if you like this, you might like this� mentality adopted by Netflix and Amazon to the cruise ship industry. The ship�s guest portals allow passengers to request everything from sunscreen to a cocktail, which can be brought directly to them, thanks to the on-board sensors. At the same time, the Ocean Medallion app keeps track of users� activities in order to predict what they may want to do at any given time. �Social engagement is one of the things being calculated, and so is the nuance of the context,� said Michael Jungen, Carnival�s SVP of experience design. The data points being collected include where passengers spend most of their time, which other passengers they spend time with and what time of day it is when they are in certain places on the ship. The cruise ship�s stewards will also be able to access real-time data on guests, such as whether it is a passenger�s birthday or whether a guest has specific plans on a given day." And that Carnival's "multi-million-dollar redesign and upgrade of Cruise Terminal 2 at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale" includes the following re Ocean Medallion: Https://www.rustourismnews.com/2017/11/11/carnival-completes-multi-million-dollar-upgrade-of-port-everglades-terminal/ "The transformation includes the addition of Carnival Corporation�s proprietary xIoT (Experiential Internet of Things) network, which is activated by the Ocean Medallion�. As a result, guests sailing on Medallion Class ships will enjoy expedited boarding and a more personalized arrival experience as soon as they enter the terminal. That includes interacting with their Ocean Tagalong� on a gigantic LED screen (8� 3� tall by 53� 5� wide) that surrounds the Ocean Portal area where guests enter after clearing the security and check-in area."

Excellent stuff - NTQ has reached a turning point methinks. NTQ has traded at basically break-even for H1, and it has almost �12m net cash against a �14m m/cap, along with $1.2m surplus receivables over payables, $3.1m of PPE and $3.3m of inventories. And the outlook is the rosiest for some time: https://www.investegate.co.uk/enteq-upstream-plc--ntq-/rns/half-year-report/201711150700045087W/ "Martin Perry, CEO of Enteq Upstream plc, commented: "Enteq has weathered the storm of severely reduced drilling activity globally over the last two years and is now entering a more stable market with a low-cost base, preserved cash balances and a strong technology platform from which to build. Uncertainty does remain and caution will continue to be exercised. However, Enteq has a solid customer base, a proven technology platform and a strong balance sheet, all of which will enable Enteq to take maximum advantage of future growth opportunities. "

Http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2017/11/14/2-growth-stocks-id-buy-and-hold-until-2020-or-beyond/ "2 growth stocks I�d buy and hold until 2020 or beyond G A Chester | Tuesday, 14th November, 2017 Shares of Carclo (LSE: CAR) are trading 3% higher today at 145p after the global manufacturing group reported �solid first-half trading overall� and said: �The Board anticipates full-year trading will be in line with its expectations and the Group remains on track to grow substantially over the medium term.� Today�s results give me confidence that this FTSE SmallCap firm, which has a market cap of �106m, is a growth stock I�d be happy to buy and hold until 2020 or beyond. And I feel the same about a �205m-cap stock from the same index, which I�ll come on to shortly. Down to business Carclo�s largest division, Technical Plastics (about 60% of group revenues), supplies fine-tolerance, injection-moulded plastic components, mainly for medical products. The division�s first-half operating profit fell 6%. Management said this was due to some key new programmes being delayed into the second half and some operational issues that have now been largely resolved. The lower profit from Technical Plastics was offset by a 16% increase at its other principal division, LED Technologies. This business, which designs and supplies specialised injection-moulded lighting systems to the luxury and supercar industry, accounts for 35% of group revenue. The company�s balance sheet remains reasonable after an anticipated rise in net debt to �29.6m from �26m. And there was an encouraging fall in the pension deficit from a previously elevated level. Nice growth stock on cheap valuation All three of Carclo�s divisions (the third is a small business in aerospace) are set to have a stronger second half. Forecast earnings per share (EPS) of 12.75p for the full-year to 31 March put the company on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11.4. This falls to just 9.5 for fiscal 2019 on the back of a forecast EPS increase to 15.3p, as that substantial medium-term profit growth the company referred to kicks in. The company has been investing in its manufacturing assets, increasing capacity and efficiency, which should contribute to top-line growth (higher volumes) and bottom-line growth (higher profit margins). Operating in attractive markets and well diversified geographically, with 70% of revenues coming from outside the UK, I see Carclo as a nice growth stock on a cheap valuation."

Bouncing nicely today after a 100,000 buy at 21.9p. OT : Qd22, how could you :o)) ACSO has dropped a bit now, but it has great institutional support and will bounce back soon I suspect.

Peel Hunt reiterate their Buy and 200p target today, whilst Singer also say Buy with a 175p target: Https://www.nandp.co.uk/sharedealing/company/?companyCode=CAR

Just noticed GMAA's JV partner BBA issued a good trading statement this morning - most relevantly, their Signature division is trading very well, which bodes well for GMAA: Https://www.investegate.co.uk/bba-aviation-plc--bba-/rns/trading-statement/201711140700023541W/ "The Group's trading performance remains in line with expectations, with revenue up 10.2% year-on year for the ten months to October, reflecting good organic growth in Signature and the contribution from acquisitions. In Flight Support, Signature revenues in the ten months to 31 October grew 14.2% and on a like-for-like basis (organic, constant currency, adjusting for higher fuel prices) were up 3.8%. US B&GA flight movements have grown 3.7% over the nine months to 30 September, with improved growth of 4.3% for the three months ended 30 September. Signature like-for-like revenue growth for the same three month period ended 30 September was 5.3%. The Signature outperformance during the three months ended 30 September in part reflects good progress with our commercial renegotiations for the enlarged network. The recent hurricanes: Harvey, Irma and Maria, caused minimal impact overall across the Signature network and we were able to re-establish services quickly and provide support for the rescue and relief efforts. Signature has recently signed a Signature Select licence agreement with Fly Across at Toluca International airport in Mexico, our first location in Mexico and the closest B&GA airport to Mexico City. This increases the Group's affiliate FBO programme, Signature Select, to 19 locations.... ....Wayne Edmunds, BBA Aviation Interim CEO commented "The Group has traded in line with expectations during the period. We are particularly pleased with Signature's performance since the half year, which in part reflects the positive customer response to our enlarged network proposition."

with approaching 1.2m shares traded alread.

Good summary here of Parx Casino's position in the newly deregulated Pennsylvania market - with a big mention for GAN: Https://www.onlinepokerreport.com/27336/parx-casino-online-casino/ "With a knowledgeable team in place, one of the best brands in the Pennsylvania market, and the money to market and advertise, Parx will almost certainly be in the upper tier of Pennsylvania�s online poker/casino providers. What we know about Parx and online gambling Platform provider? Parx launched a GAN-powered social casino in early 2015. In March 2015, GAN released a statement indicating the multi-year relationship between Parx and GAN extended to real-money online gambling: �Throughout the multi-year term of the agreement, Parx Casino will rely exclusively on GameAccount Network�s Internet gaming system, deployed on-property in Pennsylvania, for all forms of real money Internet gaming (including poker, for the avoidance of doubt) in the event the State of Pennsylvania enacts legislation to regulate real money Internet gaming.� "Out-of-state partnerships/relationships Parx will have a loose relationship with Betfair Casino through its platform provider GAN."

New report from Equity Development - they increase their SOTP valuation to 206p (from 200p). The caveat here is that the Wipac contracts are awarded as promised in H2. Assuming no material slip-ups, then CAR still looks cheap as chips to me given the potential and global leadership position in two high-growth sectors: Https://www.equitydevelopment.co.uk/edreader/?d=%3D%3DAO1MjM "SOTP valuation moves up to 206p/share Factoring all this in, our sum-of-the-parts valuation rises to 206p/share (from 200p) � derived from using FY21 EV/EBIT multiples of 14x for Technical Plastics (64% FY17 sales), 12.2x LED Tech (31%) and 10x Aerospace (5%), discounted back at 12%, and adjusted for central overheads and the above balance sheet movements" "Stock appears undervalued vs most metrics Likewise in relative terms, we believe the stock rates as good value, trading on EV/EBIT and PER and multiples of 9.3x and 10.9x respectively vs peer averages of >16x and >20x (as below)." "Lastly, don�t forget that the vast majority of Carclo�s turnover is tied to long-cycle deliveries on OEM platforms with typical life-spans of between 5-20 years. Hence providing good overall visibility and earnings quality."

Good to see GMAA continuing to show strength and moving up once again. More coverage of the Chinese launch, including this additional quote: Https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2017-11-13/gama-aviation-partners-china-aircraft-services "Asked about the company�s Asian strategy and growth plans, Gama Aviation Hutchison general manager Sergio Oliveira e Silva told AIN, �Our collaboration with CASL is a win-win.

Interims are as expected and already flagged, and the good news is that the outlook remains rosy. This H2 is expected to be very good in each of the three divisions. CAR specifically state that they expect to trade in line with forecasts of around 13p EPS for the year: Http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/CAR/13430101.html "The Board anticipates that the Group will trade in line with its expectations for the full year, with all three divisions set to have a stronger second half performance, and the Group remains on track to grow substantially over the medium term."
