I appreciate all products have competition but any thoughts - are we now in a race to market?We need sales news Andrew.CheersN&S

ERT topics - why no discussion on here? On 13/7/2015 Mike Walters wrote his " Curtain Down on the Horror Show - (ENRT)" article, which, some time later, he kindly made freely available to all.In that piece, he said, "In two or three weeks we should learn the details of the proposed merger." We still do not know.I'm wondering if Mr. Walters is as baffled as me regarding the lack of information. I also wonder what led him to make that supposition. I saw no mention of timescales in the Prelims - what did I miss?He also told us, "Some look set to step into yet more active roles before long, especially John Viviani, a non-executive who is having a great impact". Is Mr. Walters wondering what went wrong there to so suddenly scupper his high hopes for big things from Mr. Viviani? I'm sure we were all disappointed that, in the statement from the company, no reason was given for his departure.As for that possible acquisition - could the reason why we have not heard anything be that it has gone the way of the projects in Kenya, Tanzania and Hungary and the Chinese deal that was in advanced discussions? (bear in mind that we do not know what has happened to the Chinese deal. Since it was not mentioned in the Prelims, I presume that it must have been considered irrelevant.) All just hunches, guesswork and wonderment from me, nothing more than chit chat and waffle as we wait for news.Australia, Kenya, Tanzania and Hungary, 2K, Mediwall, seats for the 2012 games, the Chinese deal - my goodness, such potential. I thought I was going to be rich by now.At least we have Brownwater, NBF, Contour, Earth Waste-Not - will the AGM bring forth news of a massive jump in royalty payments arriving, or is that something that doesn't get mentioned at an AGM as it is for the Annual or Half-Yearly Results?

VLE gretel 18 Sep 2015

News flow pre-interims An exciting day yesterday by VLE's standards ))15 buy trades, and no sells, totalling 22,610 shares in 1k and 2k lots - yet the share price is unchanged. Great to finally have some liquidity, with a seller meeting demand for shares pre-interims, which should be next week as usual.I'm starting to get intrigued (and it's about time!) by Sira's prospects following the tie-up this Feb'15 with the American company MotionDSP via their product Ikena Forensic 5.0. For example, in April MotionDSP announced this use of IK5.0 by the International Justice Mission:[link] this from April'15 (p.3) shows Sira being awarded a £24k contract by the Met Police for support and maintenance for Siraview software, so they're evidently still using it: hxxp://www.met.police.uk/foi/pdfs/lists_and_registers/corporate/contracts_over_%C2%A32500_q4_january_march_2015.pdf

Hargreave Hale buying more HVN Late RNS yesterday shows Hargreave Hale going above 15% with 11.04m shares - they've bought 700,000 shares since their last holdings RNS:[link] particular, Marlborough Fund Managers within that holding have increased from 9.64m shares to 10.385m shares.The interims, which will be on 30th September (2 weeks' time), should be decent at worst given the positive/trading in line AGM statement.

CHT gretel 18 Sep 2015

Another bargain acquisition today.... ...that's 2 in 3 days.....[link] a max $14m (25% in performance-related shares) for $2.2m EBITDA sounds like a bargain to me. And CHT say it will be immediately earnings-enhancing. Plus there'll be considerable savings from cost synergies etc.Forecasts will have to be raised again.

CFX The buzz 17 Sep 2015

AGM Report This was the usual cosy meeting with lots of banter and informal discussion as well. However, the biscuits were not as good as last year though!Basically steady as she goes. I saw the AGM statement and initially thought that it was nothing special, but then thought about it: and decided that it was not really important since it only deals with the start of the year, whereas the second part of the year is the important part. So I was not surprised that the share price fell, but it has not fallen enough (yet) to entice me to top up.CFX an upmarket fabric and wallpaper company and they have decided that adding too many brands would be like trying to juggle with too many balls. The decorating division sometimes has large jobs that can last 3 years - and completion depends on when the builders hand over the premises - so they have difficulty in giving a smoothed profit as a job is not finished until it meets the customer's satisfaction. This 'lumpiness' in accruing profits can be mis-interpreted by the press as giving good/ bad years, whereas one needs to average out the profits over many years.There was a debate about higher rate tax on dividends and consequently for larger shareholders they prefer share buy backs. A problem is that as CFX has been mopping up shares for a long time now, they no longer have access to many shares on the open market, plus there was a reluctance last time from major share holders to sell any of their shares. This again underscores the share price - if lots of shares get put on the market then CFX will be keen to mop them up as they are highly cash generative. Although the dividend might look low, the overall equation needs to include the share price and in turn this is affected by share buy-backs.The exchange rate of $ to £ is always a concern - but they do use some hedging to protect themselves. I think that WGB are really keen to buy CFX, but suspect that the current share price makes CFX a bit pricey to deliver a knock out blow that would entice existing share holders to sell out.The B
