you need to sit with Cyan. They have just had a $1m order as a sample run to an indian company... if it all goes well, then it could lead to orders for 20million chips.
If it makes you feel better - my first batch I bought a while ago cost 11p a share! My relative who works for them paid 50p a share for his first purchases & he stills buys them today. The product does what it supposed to do. Its just getting the orders.

It seems new shareholders in Facebook were not happy about the withholding of information pertinent to the company's floatation. Seems Morgan Stanley didn't disclose the fact that its information didn't include a report stating that income could be quite a bit short of the $5 billion figure put out.

be careful if you've only got a few hundred £ to invest and are paying £10 to trade... costs will add up... wouldn't try anything short term.

remember with this stuff - you can't predict the future... there are plenty of people out there who believe they can look at charts, draw lines etc.. and do exactly that -in reality, if they could, they'd be among the richest people in the world.

people tend to make money either by actively trading - by finding very short term miss-pricings and exploiting them or by investing - building a portfolio of stocks that look like they will perform relatively better than similar stocks over in the long term...

lots of 'professional' fund managers struggle to beat a related benchmark index such as the FTSE100 or S&P500 etc...

Indeed, but it's still possible if you get lucky :)

Halifax trades are £3.95 on Friday between 12-2PM

Which is when I will be topping up on Cyan, I've read enough about the product to be convinced that if the TNEB news comes back as remotely positive next week (remember it's an extended bank hol) it's a good position to be in.

edit - some large buys today, might gamble and put an order in just before the bell :worried:

DJ Cyan Holdings Plc Update on TNEB Tender TIDMCYAN RNS Number : 4724E Cyan Holdings Plc 31 May 2012 Cyan Holdings Plc ("Cyan" or "the Company") Update on TNEB Tender TNEB formally authorises Cyan customer to start pilot installation Cyan Holdings plc (AIM: CYAN.L), the integrated system design company delivering wireless solutions for lighting control and utility metering, today gives an update regarding the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) tender. Following the submission of proposals for the tender by 16 companies, one of Cyan's metering partners in India has now received a formal letter from TNEB inviting them to install a 500 unit pilot in Tamil Nadu state. Cyan believes this is the first company to receive such a letter. The letter requests that the pilot begin as soon as possible. The Cyan partner in question is the principal supplier of electricity meters to TNEB and is ready to start the pilot immediately. As part of the Technical Specification of the tender, the bidders have to demonstrate the suitability of the tendered meters with respect to the performance, communication and networking capabilities to the assessment committee. Cyan believes that its 865 Mhz (AMI) with data concentrators is the only one that meets this Technical Specification. TNEB plan to replace 18M meters and this is the first tender as part of the program. Given the significant financial cost and expected impact in terms of reduction of AT&C* losses in replacing 18M meters, TNEB are taking the selection process very seriously. We have been told that the decision process has to be completely transparent for all participants and this has resulted in an understandable extension to the timeline. Further information regarding the status of the other meter manufacturers who have bid on the TNEB tender, as well as the duration of the pilots and expected date of orders, will be provided as it becomes available. John Cronin, Executive Chairman at Cyan added, "We are delighted that the first of our partners has been formally requested to enter the pilot stage of the tender and all indications are that Cyan's partners are in a very strong position. While the process is taking longer than originally stated by TNEB, this is evidence that progress is being made. The Board remains confident that the outcome of this tender process will be transformational for Cyan in terms of financial situation and market perception."

I read that RNS this morning, very calm on the trading front still, I'd imagine if further clients of CYAN get asked to pilot it may bump a little, I'm rapidly learning that in the AIM market everyone seems to have the patience of a child on Christmas eve :lol:

I'm currently holding CYAN / VAL / SER mid-long term.

Part of me wants to put more money into Cyan but I know it's a gamble...My aim is to get the initial £300 back and then reinvest the profit without the risk of then being out of pocket.
