Up +2% now. Possibly will not stay there for long. Price being paid on the Ask ticking up. A day-and-a-half's average daily trading volume has now been reached for ARC in the first hour of the day.

Almost a whole day's average daily trading volume now reached in under an hour.

Trading volumes in ARC shares were above-average on Fri. And ARC has already seen 40% of its daily average in trading volumes in the first 30mins of today. Still 7.5hrs of trading to go. Volume is picking up, share price is bowling up, and director share-buying is up. Several great leading-indicators there for investors.

No more than 7 trading days until the next RNS and halfyear update. Welcome onboard Share_shark. Interesting times ahead.

A good 1 million buy to start the day.

Interesting to see the ARC Chairman with such a big shareholding in ARC. And he topped up heavily with new ARC shares in Q4 2013.

* ARC directors bought a combined huge 5% of all ARC shares during Dec 2013... right before the closed period before the halfyear results on Feb 25 2014... * The ARC share price is up +193% in the past 11 months. It has good momentum and the SP chart is starting to "bowl" upwards... * Revenues are on track to top £2m, cash on-hand is a healthy £1m, and profitability is improving... * ARC makes software for big banks, bookmakers and governments in the UK and worldwide...

ARC is now a "strong buy" on Barchart: http://www.barchart.com/quotes/stocks/ARC.LS

Good research, mate. ARC looks undervalued on several financial measures, many tech charts look bullish, directors have been loading up on tons of ARC shares in recent weeks, and an RNS update for the company is due in the next fortnight. Some great signs there for new investors.

In Dec 2013 alone -- right before the "closed" period on AIM kicked in on Jan 1 2014 -- ARC directors bought over £85k of ARC shares... The ARC directors combined *purchased the equivalent of a huge 5% of the entire company* during the month of Dec 2013... And the ARC directors bought *ordinary shares on the open market*. With their *own money*. They did NOT hand themselves cheap options or warrants or anything silly like that... In summary, ARC directors have purchased 5% of all ARC shares just "moments" before the half-year financial report is released... Investors must decide whether they think that is a good sign ;-)

This is a recovery play, for sure. Shifting from oversold to a rerate. The SP is starting to "bowl" upward beautifully. And a new CEO is now in place. Revenues are on track to top £2m. Cash in-hand or in-bank is £1m. Profitability is improving as the UK economy improves. The average AIM stock grew just +18% in the past year. A +193% gain for ARC since March 2013 is a great performance, by anyone's standards. ARC has outperformed AIM by roughly 10-fold. Importantly, it has good momentum.

I wouldn't call a near-tripling of the ARC share price in under a year a slow, steady climb. Its recent performance makes ARC one of the best shares on the entire UK stockmarket. The FTSE 100 will take about 10 to 20 years to triple, for example. ARC is seeing multiple director share buys with large sums of cash. It is not just one guy dipping in with a few quid. An additional factor to consider is the ARC share price moves very fast on tiny volumes. For example, just a handful of buys on Fri moved the SP up +8%. Any sign of good news here and a bit of extra trading volume and it will spike in a flash. Enjoyed your post. Bol.

First, take a look at the *director buys* for the past few months (all the info is in their public RNSs for everyone to see). ARC Board members have been loading up with a huge £120k of ARC shares. They were buying right up until the start of the "closed" period just a few weeks ago. Big staff investing big money. Second, take a look at the ARC financials for the past 2 to 3 years. Revenue trends are *rising*, cash in-hand is plentiful, profits are improving (and may be about to move into positive territory), the UK / global economy is growing stronger, and UK / global banks are in better financial shape. The internal and external tailwinds for ARC look good. Above all, ask yourself this -- if you knew the "inside" details of your company's financial outlook, and you were on the Board of your company, and if you thought the results were going to be "bad", would you invest £120,000 of your own money in shares that are likely to go down?... Exactly, you're only going to buy ARC shares by the ton only if you think the next set of results (due in a week or two) will be "good"... In summary, ARC has financial results due in a few days' time... and multiple ARC directors have been making multiple ARC share purchases ahead of those results...

Great point from Oilbuy on how the ARC share price moves very fast on tiny trading volumes. For example, just *£6k of buys* from AIM investors made the ARC share price leap +8% on Fri 14 Feb 2014. It reminds a lot of KDR and AFPO in recent months. If the *half-year update* for ARC on Feb 25 2014 indicates a decent lift in revenues, or an improvement in profitability, or more cash on-hand, or any hints or announcements of a new software contrac(s) with a bank(s), then the ARC share price will *rerate* to the 0.3p to 1p range in a flash. And with ARC's Finance Director, CEO and Chairman all buying *tens of thousands of Pounds' worth* of ARC shares right before the recent closed period in Q4 2013, that is a reasonable hint of what is coming up here with this share...

Investors will note that ARC's *Finance Director* was buying shares in ARC on Dec 16 2013 -- right up to the wire of the closed period (which began on Jan 1 2014). ARC's next half-year financial update is due on Feb 25 2014. If a company's finance director (as well as the Chairman and CEO) is piling into the company's shares ahead of financial results, that is often a very bullish sign. And ARC's Board members and directors have bought more than £120,000 of ARC shares in recent months. All the above info can be verified by reading ARC's public RNSs during the past year.

The Ichimoku charts for ARC have now turned bullish today (Fri 14 Feb 2014). With strong tech charts, strong director buying, stronger trading volumes, stronger financials, and an RNS update due in the next 2 weeks, this looks right now like the start of a strong uptrend for ARC.

In the past 8 months, the CEO, Chairman, Finance Director and other ARC directors have *bought a huge £120,000 of ARC shares*. The ARC directors have dipped into their own pockets at least 8 times in the past 8 months. The directors of ARC have been filling their boots (see previous RNSs). ARC's half-year financial results are due by Feb 25 2014 (see previous RNSs for examples). ARC has been off the radar screen for most investors, but it is time to shine a light on it.

ARC is another tip for this board. Dyor etc.

Up +8% today. A strong upward finish toward the close, at the high of the day, which is a bullish sign for ARC. Trading volume today was +20% above the daily average. Higher shareprice + higher volume + news imminent = rerating.

Up +5% now. Directors have bought -- with their own money -- over £120,000 of ARC shares in recent months.
