I suspect that large shareholders like buy-backs because, as I understand it, the benefit they accrue is not taxable.

I, for one, can see no reason for the big drop in the share price today. But someone must know the reason(s), and it would be helpful if he/she would kindly tell us.

If anyone knows the reason(s) for the huge fall in the share price this morning please explain.

The Trading Update released today seems optimistic about the company's future. We can only hope.

There seems now to be a regular pattern with this share; the share price falls as soon as the Exchange opens, and recovers just before it closes. But the overall trend has been a steady improvement in the price.

RNS today: share buy backs to continue; and still no mention of a dividend!

The share price has moved upwards quite significantly recently. Nice to see.

Today's Announcement seems to me to be full of good news.

Insurance payments, for example for injury, death, damage or theft are not normally axable

Is there an appeal mechanism available to the company?

This company’s growth is being severely underrated

• Forward PE ratio of 10

Water Intelligence (WATR:338p) is a multinational provider of precision, minimally invasive water leak detection and remediation solutions. Around 90 per cent of revenue is generated in the US, a country where 15 per cent of all water is lost due to leakage.

Water Intelligence is targeting this captive market through its American Leak Detection (ALD) business, which has revolutionised the water infrastructure services industry. Specifically, ALD has pioneered the use of acoustic and infrared-based technology to pinpoint water leaks, as opposed to traditional methods of visual inspection that require breaking walls or digging up surfaces until the origins of the leak can be found.

ALD’s focus has been on small-diameter pipe, such as in homes, commercial premises and swimming pools. For these types of hard-to-find leaks, customers including homeowners, property management companies and insurance firms value the quality of service and the fact that ALD’s proprietary technology minimises damage to walls, floors and roofs.

Investment in technology is a key differentiator of Water Intelligence’s product and service offering, and has helped grow ALD into a national business that operates in 150 locations across 46 US states. The business continues to capture market share by establishing national channels with insurance firms, property management companies and municipalities.

How to retire part-time

Sensibly, Water Intelligence is using strategic partnerships to drive organic growth. For instance, ALD has recently entered a partnership with StreamLabs, a Chubb Insurance company and a leading provider of patented, state-of-the art water usage monitoring, leak detection and water shut-off solutions for commercial and residential properties. ALD expects to generate organic revenue and profit growth through:

• the resale of StreamLabs products at favourable wholesale prices

• service installations of devices by ALD from StreamLabs

• ALD ‘aftercare’ programmes for water management sought by residential and commercial customers

• leveraging ALD’s other proprietary products.

Much like how insurance companies have transformed healthcare, insurance companies are working with homeowners to promote preventive maintenance solutions for water infrastructure, ranging from water monitoring and alerts to minimally invasive leak detection and repair. As the leader in the US in providing end-to-end solutions to more than 200,000 residential customers each year, ALD is the only company in a f

Simon Thompson of the Investors Chronicle has written an article in which he states that the shares are a "Buy". Worth reading.

Yes, but still no dividend, and no hint of any future dividend.

Tried several times this morning to phone the company (on 01903 845 820) but could not get through.

The reference to "complex" today originated from this post:today 07:19This letter is about 5 years late Thor will fob Budge off with the stock ministerial response that it's so complex.I'm done with it all.

I watched "Witness" on Al Jeezera tonight, and was disappointed with it, as it was old news and amateurish. It gave the Sami a lot of publicity, and they are probably pleased. I didn't think the local Beowulf spokesman came over very well.

Just heard that the programme called "Witness" on Channel 235 (Al Jazeera) at 20.00 tomorrow will feature the Sami and iron ore mining in Sweden.

Can anyone give a good reason for the weekness in the share price? Institutions bought new shares at £12 and soon afterwards the price went down and is now less than £10.
