Access Intelligence (ACC) comprised part of Derek Pain’s “No Pain, No Gain” section of Saturday’s Independent, commenting that a bearish statement from the Company had caused a degree of share turbulence. However, it appears to be trading well and looks capable of delivering on its promises and is worth hanging on to, as the market is under-pricing the shares. The share price improved by 0.25p to 5.50p this morning.
The Independent on Saturday reported that SQC Research reckons IDN Telecom (IDN) shares could hit 3p this year and 4p next year. It continued to quote Mark Watson-Mitchell at SQC, saying the Company is clearly undervalued and could attract a bid and that he sees profit this year of £1.175m with £1.8m next year. The share price was unchanged at 2.23p this morning.
The weekend’s FT included Knowledge Technology Solutions (KTS) in an article that suggested the shares had proved disappointing, although the author remarked that he keeps hoping it will make a profit and someone will take it over. During this morning’s trading, the share price rose by 0.13p to 1.00p.
The Daily Mail on Saturday commented that word is Oliver Cooke, Chairman of Multi Group (MLT), will resign once a deal to sell GM has been reached, following the disastrous reversal into the Company. The piece went on that Bob Morton, a major shareholder, is now picking up the reigns. The share price was ahead by 0.05p at 0.83p this morning.
Oxford BioMedica (OXB) appeared in the Financial Times this weekend in an article that reviewed the portfolio of its writer, Kevin Goldstein-Jackson. He commented that he still has long-term faith in the Company and looks forward to hearing news on its other products, including a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease. The share price improved by 0.25p to reach 24.00p during this morning’s session.
The Independent on Saturday remarked that shares in Seeing Machines (SEE) are “well worth a look” after the price moved forward following news of funding approval from the Australian Government. The piece concluded with a “Buy” recommendation, but the share price remained 3.13p during trading on Monday morning.

There is an extra risk of losing money when shares are bought in some smaller companies including 'Penny Shares'. There is a big difference between the buying price and the selling price of these shares. If they have to be sold immediately, you may get back much less than you paid for them or you may have difficulty in selling them. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The price may change quickly and it may go down as well as up. You could lose every penny put into a particular share.
