Also been a few board changes. A good board can make all the difference, look at thomas cook, 10 bagged in 12 months with new blood on board. I'll keep adding if I can while its under the radar
yes it can feel warm and cosy when you are being pi**** on, till u wake up. but you are right about ekt, bthat's why i am in. director deals mean sod all though. they bought in at 40p,30p,20p,15p,10p. they sort of gave up as it went down to 5p...they have an insight to the business but just can't suss the market. also a bit prone to overpromising. imo....gl
Not too many stocks like this around, good recovery potential after a much needed restructure. Sect looks to doing ok, component companies are seeing increased demand. When Mario utters "What ever it takes", the markets get a cosy warm feel!
:) you sound like mario. "if needed" so when is it needed? if not at 0.5% inflation and falling, stagnant euro gdp, then when? US and Japan declared currency war on europe years ago and mario is still threatening to respond!! !bit like the armless,legless soldier in monty pyphon's holy grail..."COMEOVER HERE AND I WILL BITE YOU TO DEATH"
Buying ahead of results and a better 2nd half and 2014 outlook. Euro stimulus ready to kick in if needed. Last director buy at 10p makes this look undervalued.
either my reasoning was wrong or draghi came across more dovish than i thought? nice to see a rise, wont look a gift nag in the mouth.
.....damn jackboots!
yes the same news as the last time EKT had a little rally...the ECB rate decision. when the markets think the ever growing threat of euro deflation will force draghi (super mario, my arse) to act a little less "german" they get excited. EKT would just love a weaker euro and a little euro stimulus. last time draghi failed to deliver (as per usual) so it sold off again. today? who knows? is he wearing german jack boots or italian flip flops?
Looks like a Breakout from the lows. Some decent trades going through too. News due?
QPP or EKT take your pick, we lose either way.
in your own words..."Now that the Board have gained experience this now looks to be a good recovery play" . do make up your mind mate :)
because it's a turnaround story. why chase a momentum trade when there are bargains like this? the price to book ratio is just silly. imo.
Why invest here when a share like QPP goes up almost daily? the basics of EKT are quite OK it's just that there are more profitable places to put ones cash.
what on earth are you on about? they are negotiating more favourable terms with their lender based on the second half improvement in trading. how on earth have you managed to read this as a negative. as for the drop yesterday. it baffles me how the market can keep reacting to the same news. like a bleedin' goldfish!
This year's results are likely to be poor as the first three quarters were bad. The China operation was a mistake exacerbated by young management and the difficulty of incorporating Hartest, a company larger than EKT at the time, into the combined group. Now that the Board have gained experience this now looks to be a good recovery play. Note that the Chairman holds over 16million shares and is very experienced.
That in itself will be a great sign !! (Hendersons being out)... On my watchlist..
Like the look of this share, was thinking about buying in a 6's it got that low. Maybe a bit greedy. Can see a good return in the medium term
Nice to see it going up, nicer still if we knew why!
time low of c5.4p??
No idea mate - got a great line down to 6.00 this week though ...
a gift at 6.n ...
Offer at <7p .....................
managers have a different MO to most - many bemoan the fact they're not able to take on more riskier propositions as it hampers their ability to outperform their peers that do ... Simply has to be worth a look at c7p imo ...
ok i'll have a crack at it. why the collapse? because people can't be arsed to read. the retail investor has gone AWOL leaving only the "pros" who have such a relatively small interest in small caps so don't bother reading reports. top and bottom lines look crap and the macro suggests a prolonged slump in cap ex. So a company like ekt is an obvious target. If they gave a toss they would see that the disappointing top line was nothing to do with demand (which was above expectations) and everything to do with supply problems (which are now sorted) sales from the first half have been pushed back into the second half. in addition,fund managers have a bad habit of seasonal window dressing so sell stocks which have underperformed so they are not seen on their end of year books. i consider this to be a severe form of retardation......imo
why the collapse in the share price of EKT ?
