X2 plus the special dividend !

A dividend in April.! !

A good share buyback as well. They don't always work out. A takeover could happen here, although I don't think it needs that to get to 2-3 pounds.

With the way markets are moving I think this might continue its steady rise or even move into a new range. I think its worth accumulating here.

Nice rise.

For some positive or constructive news.

I absolutely cannot see another rights issue. This is a good business that lots might be interested in, maybe the Italians, maybe the US but my favourite would be a private equity take out.

It would be good to see some developments.

Interesting post, but doesn't the expansion improve the reach of the business, increase sales and diversify the currency. So few things in life are certain, death, taxes and sausages. Such a good product! I don't think having a lot of debt is such a problem although if it doesn't translate into sales then this will dilute earnings. The dividend itself isn't under threat and that's the main thing. I think they just need a bit of time for this stage in the business to fully develop.

I get what the other poster might be saying momentum and the strength relating to a stock when it's breaking lows, or getting close but I think that is more trading and less fundamentals. I think it has a great product and markets. If it keeps going lower I think it will spring back. I don't think anybody should ever invest hoping for a takeover but at these levels it must be attracting some attention. I guess it all depends on your timeframes and ability to keep mopping up shares but at these levels this has a got to be a good price.

About 9 years ago the company was approached with a bid at approximately this level. The company looks to have spent a good 100 million on capital expenditure in this time. I know there's some set backs but the business seems to have professed fairly well. I keep buying. If anything that I'm saying isn't correct please let me know your thoughts.

I am a buyer here, I've been looking at E2V for a long time and simply cannot resist this price. I think hopefully any bad news and expectations are out there. If however things don't improve then I think it would make a tasty acquisition for somebody especially something US based at the moment. I wonder to those with better knowledge of this share and sector what companies might have products which E2V could sit alongside?

I can see quite a lot of attractions in this business - I think a merger wouldn't be bad thing for the share price. Even if it doesn't I think they are in a really interesting area of business. I also find it interesting that there have been few director buys at such a low price - u could see this as negative or positive - in the circumstances I see it as a good sign.

Ladies, Gentleman, If you take the view that De Beers is a luxury that Anglo can no longer keep - if they were to sell it do you think that this would wipe out the debt, more, less? I think it's a quality asset and one that will be here in 100 or even a 1000 years and there aren't many businesses you can say that about. I always understood that a business should have some debt so it could become more a question of what it does with the money - I'm sure there must be some synergy to be had with prices where they are. Finally if they did sell it where would the share price be?!?

Sounds far fetched but I'm sure there are some centrally (government or quasi government) organisations capable of breaking a share and making a lot of money in the process. Or there is a rights issue being discussed with major shareholders and the price is say 3.50 or 3.75 so selling on that. What surprised me when I looked today was how much volume was sell even with the lower prices - Anyway it's bent.
