Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
countries that are nett importers of oil will have more money to lash around now oil is so cheap ... all this doom and gloom about oil ... cheap oil is good for economies that do not depend on oil revenues .... MED may not sell many systems in Norway, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela but the slip in the oil price might be enough to give China's economy a shot in the arm, same with loads of other countries especially India and Pakistan where many doctors and technicians are trained ... any share that isn't being kicked about because it depends on oil or commodities is getting a second look these days .... if MED made oil well scanners, I'd be bearish!!
The new upgrades allowing abnormal cases and associated scans to be uploaded to "the cloud" should tip sales in MED's favour. Having access to a global library of scans and cases will help with making diagnoses when scans are "abnormal". The "cloud 2", archive and functions adds value to the hardware which has also been updated. Now the operating systems are available in all major languages and reseller deals have been signed for most major markets, I expect strong growth here.
January ... doesn't take too many sales of simulators to affect this SP pretty dramatically and the Chinese market alone is capable of generating sales that dwarf everything that's been achieved in the UK ... then there's the US and Europe .... I expect deals that weren't quite done before the end of 2015 will be confirmed by the first week of February at least. Exciting times ...
update was underwhelming but, after some thought, this appears to make the share one to hold "The Group has supported its increased global sales network by translating its systems into Mandarin, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, German and French. Export sales year to date represent more than 50% of its revenue." So, 50% of revenue to date has been export sales? ... BEFORE THEY EVEN TRANSLATED THE INTERFACE? ... so now they HAVE translated their interfaces into the planet's main languages (what a great use of time and money!), their expanded sales network can get stuck into the massive Chinese market. I think I'll top up in this later today ... also, I admire the honesty of the bosses here and suspect they may be surprised how many deals ARE done before the end of the year as people tie up deals' loose ends pre the festive season. Deals that are 85% done get rushed through around now as getting people up to speed to complete mostly-done deals in the New Year is inefficient. We'll see ..... I presume the products support EU recognised exams and testing ... that will be very useful .... doctors in some EEA countries try and protect their "patch" by saying foreign doctors are dangerous if their qualifications don't meet, for example, Norwegian standards. There are moves to enforce EU wide standards and MED's trainers hopefully support these initiatives. This just needs a bit of patience.
if you want to get into this and benefit from the dividend, i think you need to be in today, tomorrow at the latest and stay in until October 30th.. Dividend is 0.4p. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!
http://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/crude-oil-falls-after-u.s.-inventories-show-buildup-363855 Since ENEG's SP does seem to trail the price of oil, expect this to pick up ... especially since ENEG's plays won't be affected by any more sanctions on Russia or ISIS attacks on Russian oil pipeline infrastructure or refining or production facilities
whenever there's trouble in the Middle East, oil prices rise. Looking at the graphs for this, the SP has tumbled with the price of oil so, one would expect that ... either due to sanctions against Russia or because there are reprisal attacks by ISIS on Russian oil installations or Iraqi or Syrian oil productions being affected by the growing tension and unrest in the region, oil prices should rise so the SP here should rise ... as it should with other oil companies ... should be interesting to see. On top of all that, global markets bounced overnight so shares as a whole should rise today and we should see more volume on the whole. The DOW, FTSE, S&P and Nikkei all rose during the last trading sessions ...
Read the RNS and it seems it's reasonable to expect dividends here within the fortnight .... it's got some nice deals. There are other distilleries in Scotland they can build pipes to, other universities they can serve, other institutions. I'd have thought, at least in the short term the promise of dividends should discourage anyone selling this so a slow build in the SP would be logical to expect. The dividend may not be huge but still, relative to the SP, it's not bad value and this seems to lack the volatility afflicting some AIM shares in some sectors. At least worth putting on your watchlist I reckon
we'll see how it goes ...
wish I'd got in here .... got a phone call from a needy, rambling bird who's a professional sympathy seeker .... i suppose there'll be a bit of profit-taking .... so itæll drop ... or should I get in now? Women!!!!
dividends. Not huge but it will appeal to some investors .... there are a LOT of distilleries in Scotland and I presume others will note the Diageo and Chivas deals etc. .. the graphs don't look great but I reckon this is a good deal at this price.
in the low .60s? It's hard for shares to climb through that kind of resistance. I think the prospects for this outfit are good but selling that cheap and any hint of ramping puts me off ..
I "picked" this for a rise before the markets opened today. The only think that makes me pause is a whiff of ramping
Why the nasty looking chart? Some encouraging RNS here ....
anyone trying to pull commodities out of the ground profitably. Looking at the "profi"t some gold companies are making per oz of gold they sell, it's not a business I'd go into but I suppose a lot of them bought projects and options when the gold price was much higher and now some projects don't make business sense. Does it make sense to "mothball" projects hoping gold all time highs will come again? I'm not sure gold will ever be the haven it has been for years. It conducts electricity brilliantly but graphene does it better. Physically keeping gold safe and trading it? Crossing borders with it with metal detectors in airports etc. and having the buyer trust it's pure gold (remember the "gold coated titanium bars" scare? On top of that, people who sell gold are always talking it up even when it's falling and others who want to buy in low are always talking it down ... I've heard people say gold was headed to $350 and oz ... fortunately, it looks as though the Chinese might have put a stop to the tumbling price of gold by devaluing the Yuan by 3% ... forcing the Fed to think again .... perhaps .. about raising interest rates ... since ... as soon as central banks start raising interest rates again, gold will get a kicking since it pays no dividends ... or interest ...
moved by now. I suppose it's the state of the.Ukranian currency that hurts them. Their turnover translates into few pounds.
was on the way up ...proves how much I know ... though it's an easily affected share
Not that anyone should listen to me and I'm not invested here but oil prices will recover as the production will cease at sites where the oil is just too expensive to extract (like Canadian sands) and the glut of oil subsides. The only thing to watch out for is the US is storing oil like nobody's business so they can tough out any spike in price ... eventually, oil will cost far more than it does now and if Russia can tough this one out they'll be left with loads of oil to sell to a hungry planet where a lot of wells are running dry ... the future's Russian!
and see if the Rsneft announcement re acquisitions had helped you. GLA
I had an eye on the Ukraine getting closer to Russia as helping UKR as they may have had better access to the Russian market. The EU seem to have been luke warm and I'm not sure they ever really delivered the goods which drove Ukraine into the arms of the Russians when they were broke ... http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/17/russia-ukraine-cheese-idUSL6E8FHAQD20120417
