Hip hip hooray, nice too see this looking positive again. A while back we had a discussion on what they would do with all the cash in hand, and I know your big worry was they would fritter it away or purchase unwanted technological developments, well we now have our answer and thankfully they have done neither of the above. The market makers do seem to like the acquisition of 'Agencyport Europe', and if they like it that should mean good news for us. Nice to see this share back on track and hopefully some growth in 2014 as well as 2015.

Nice comments today from Robbie Burns Results from Hayward Tyler (HAYT) were excellent and so I topped up yesterday morning. Strong revenue growth, a massive increase in profit, dividend introduced. Also what's interesting is it's in markets that could quickly grow into big ones such as cleaner power generation in India and China. This has the feeling of a lovely under the radar-types with a potential massive future ignored by pi's who are more interested in the same ten risky oil stocks! I'm certainly happy to have increased my stake in Hayward and consider that probably now looking at a long-term hold of it unless anything unexpected surfaces. It looks a cheap buy up to a quid. Hoping for an eventual 130-150 from it. Personally was maybe hoping for a slightly higher long term target, but its still very nice. As you say CHEQUEMATE, a nice slow but steady growth suits me just fine as well. Cheers PP

11th July is record day, think it actually goes ex-div on the 9th, but again the divi has been increased so that should show the market that things are positive ahead.

Chairman states they were in line with the revised expectations, obviously the market were hoping for something better, just need one of the big boys to buy back in.

Results sounded okay in consideration and back on track, removing some of the doubts and negative outcome. Seems a case of buy on rumour and sell on news. Looks like a little more patience is required.

Thanks very much for your candid and honest reply, it does seem that all the restructuring has taken its toll. The box ticking doesn't sound a surprise when the top two guys are accountants. I hope things in the future improve for you as I'm sure we all want the company to do much better. Cheers PP

Tomorrow 11th

Do you enjoy working at XCH, is there a positive vibe and have you felt the changes within the company that the board have put in place over the last 12 to 24 months. Always find it interesting to see how some working within a company interprets that company. And if you don't mind me asking have you bought shares in the company. Apologies in advance for the nosiness. Cheers PP

Once again a very well written and in depth reply, you must spend a lot of time reading up on anything new and old on XCH, your knowledge of this company is impressive. I do agree with you that the SP is near a low and it is definitely looking oversold. Lets hope for some positive news and a steady trickle back up. Likelihood is for now that we will get neither but the company is looking much stronger, cleaner and leaner. Eventually the share price will head to where it deserves to be. Again many thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Always nice to see the share price heading the right way. Long may it continue

CHEQUEMATE its been on my watchlist for the last three to four months, its had a very good run in the last twelve months and then run out of momentum in the eighties and so started to drop back on the lack of news and lower volumes. So when I spotted RB had mentioned it thought I best jump in quickly, this kind of impetus is all that's needed to push it through the eighties and with a contract win or two even push on to the pound mark and possibly beyond. I'm sure now that we will start to receive more news. But we have to remember its the tortoise that usually wins the race. Don't you love a nice quiet board. Cheers PP

Hello there, Robbie did his report one day early and I think this will have a caught quite a few people out, probably explains why it has risen more today rather than yesterday. Its a shame he also recommended GVC the share I mentioned to you last week which means now I may have to wait much longer to get in at a price I like. But at least I managed to get in here before the increases so i'm still a happy bunny. Cheers PP

I should have also added is it down to very low volumes.

Hello, what's your thoughts on the decline of the share price, general market conditions have been good and yet the share price has continued to drop. Is this going back to it being in a consolidation year and the markets expecting much more from XCH.

Expected a much better day today, with the contract win, okay results and re-introduction of a dividend which the markets normally love. But long term I still think this will do very well.

When are the results due, I assume your on about Q1 results

great news for Zotefoams, keep it coming, the potential from Unilever alone could be huge.

Hopefully more of us will go and can plan a better approach and attack, but a lot will depend in what position they are in at the time , we wont be able to be negative if they have just had a large order. Time will tell. We will just have to wait until closer to the time.

In hindsight I think they were just telling us what they thought we wanted to hear , its true you can have lots and lots of tenders out there but does it mean you will get confirmed orders. It probably also explains why PJ and the finish bloke Jorma Halonen are no longer with the company 'a lack of export orders' that I can only speculate about. The Australian part looks very positive lets just hope we can get some confirmed orders.

Unfortunately with no new news and present market conditions this was bound to drift lower, lets just hope it doesn't drop that much more.
