Thx Just keep squeezing our chap in Moorgate who will soon be on a hunt for shares .
Nice 15% trade pre results if you buy today
I am afraid the market and some of you chaps have misread the appointment of the new broker . The key word is broker . Whitman Howard is a research driven broker , Turner Pope is a stockbroker , as the momentum in the sector is so strong . FLX being in a closed period cannot comment on current trading just yet , but one would be a fool to reduce one's holding prior to results . Would expect post results investor presentations and indeed among Pan European Investors . We all know the market maker who has a different agenda . An update from the Channel partners like CDW continues to read extremely positively . CDW stock is breaking out again and one should remember that recently CDW announced that the company surpassed $1 billion in customer spend on security solutions . Buy on any weakness
LONDON — An extensive cyberattack struck computers across a wide swath of Europe and Asia on Friday, and strained the public health system in Britain, where doctors were blocked from patient files and emergency rooms were forced to divert patients. The attack involved ransomware, a kind of malware that encrypts data and locks out the user. According to security experts, it exploited a vulnerability that was discovered and developed by the National Security Agency. The hacking tool was leaked by a group calling themselves the Shadow Brokers, which has been dumping stolen N.S.A. hacking tools online beginning last year. Microsoft rolled out a patch for the vulnerability last March, but hackers took advantage of the fact that vulnerable targets — particularly hospitals — had yet to update their systems. The malware was circulated by email; targets were sent an encrypted, compressed file that, once loaded, allowed the ransomware to infiltrate its targets. Reuters reported that employees of Britain’s National Health Service were warned about the ransomware threat earlier on Friday. By then, it was already too late. As the disruptions rippled through hospitals, doctors’ offices and ambulance companies across Britain on Friday, the health service declared the attack as a “major incident,” a warning that local health services could be overwhelmed by patients. Britain’s health’s secretary, Jeremy Hunt, was briefed by cybersecurity experts, while Prime Minister Theresa May’s office said she was monitoring the situation. Among the many other institutions that were affected were hospitals and telecommunications companies across Europe, Russia, Asia and beyond, according to MalwareHunterTeam, a security firm that tracks ransomware attacks. Spain’s Telefónica and Russia’s MegaFon were among the targets. Attacks were being reported in Britain and 11 other countries, including Turkey, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, with the majority of affected computers in Russia. The computers all appeared to be hit with the same ransomware, and similar ransom messages demanding about $300 to unlock their data. The attack on the National Health Service seemed perhaps the most audacious of the attacks, because it had life-or-death implications for hospitals and ambulance services. Tom Donnelly, a spokesman for N.H.S. Digital, the arm of the health service that handles cybersecurity, said in a phone interview that 16 organizations, including “hospitals and other kinds of clinician services,” had been hit by a cyberattack. Officials later updated that number to at least 25. “It is still ongoing,” he said. “We were made aware of it this afternoon.” The service’s digital arm said in a statement that the attack involved a variant of ransomware known as Wanna Decryptor.

NHS services across England have been hit by IT failure, believed to be caused by a large-scale cyber-attack.
Suggestions in the market , the placing was over subscribed . Would expect further buying tomorrow .
Market short ?
Suspect market maker is warehousing the trade He is already short
Pointing out the commercial potential with Midgard And the channel partners Future revenue growth Cost savings Upside earnings potential Very positive
In my opinion , one have to be very brave to be underweight / short this stock going forward . Would expect more news flow from the company being in the fastest growing sector in the market and trading at sub peer group valuation . There should be an ETF with exposure to the small cap universe in the cyber sector , would be a tremendous high beta exposure vs the large cap ETF! Doubt very much one will be able to acquire any decent size paying less than 10 by next week. Certain players in the market should remain read the RNS and work out what is really happening with the company , as explained at the UK Invrstor presentation . Momemtum - earnings acceleration - cost savings - brand partners
CEO presenting at the moment at U.K. Investor show
And do not forget up to 500/ cost savings with the new system
Dibs61 I know what you mean with regards to investor conferences , but in the case of FLX , the company is moving forward very fast and investors will realise this is a very different company from just 12 months ago. The Midgard is a security event management system and is in current use within their cyber defence and with their channel partnership established with CDW,SNX and Nasstar gives the company access to 2500 clients . 1st order with one of the partners is 50K. The company will experience a step change in demand and do not forget the new government regulation , mandatory breach notification . Would buy more before this week end .
Good to see momentum continues post RNS, the company is presenting at the UK Investor show , last year + 2500 investors attended. Suspect we will see more upwards momentum in the share price in a sector which is on the radar screen of every major investment house . Perhaps one or two of you chaps should pick up more stock prior to this media event . I would
Recent management appointments and today''s news , this is just the beginning .
