Really surprised share price hasn't moved steadily upwards since results, here we are again sub 130

D.G.L. Optare may have a great product and be industry leaders with electric buses, but unfortunately they couldn't care two hoots about its shareholders, I think half of this BB will be at the AGM when they care to actually tell us when it will be. Great product stink at communication.

ElProffessor Agree nice and steady is always the way forward. Very strange large sell just before the presentation started. Still think we will end the day in the blue. Then as you say just wait for the broker upgrades and institutional buys.

Good news, share priced dropped initially. But is now making a slow and steady move up not like last time when it jumped up over 25 points. But its all good news for the future.

Almost back up to where we where last week. There were some big sells today which had little impact on the share price thankfully. Cant be somebody closing off longs can it, they are showing as ordinary's so am a little surprised when we are so close to results. Any thoughts ElProf and role on tomorrow with some good results. Cheers PP

The recovery does seem to be going well, and there does seem to be more positiveness when reading news and along with the business award they received in May. But unfortunately for me I don't have the skills to work out what the LME and sale of the transaction bank will have on the short and long term share price. What also worries me when approaching results time as I have seen this before are skeletons in the cupboard. Shouldn't think negatively I know but its only human nature. What will be interesting and could effect the share price are dividends, will they award another and if results are good could there be a slight increase in yield, lets hope so. Cheers PP

Good call yesterday on the further drop today and price of 125p. I did see the sell price at 124p but like you said the spread was rubbish so I had wondered if you had bought or whether you would doggedly wait for the 125p buy price. The wife's ISA had some spare money so I topped up there too, now I'm just crossing my fingers for a good result next week.

Hi guys did anyone else use todays drop as an opportunity to top up.

ElProfessor, Broker forecasts are notoriously difficult to value and rarely do they tell you how they come to that figure. Again valuations are probably on a self interest basis. But to be fair most of the valuations are at similar levels. My personal valuation would be similar to yourself at the bottom end of the forecasts around 160. But again how much value do you allow for the LME. If results are good again I could easily see a spike of around 25p (late 150's to early 160), but usually when things go up fast they then come down (usually with selling and this time I would probably be one of them) again like you I see a quick drop to 150 then a slow decline to 140. Agree with you on buying/selling on lows and highs, I used to hate it when you sell something and as soon you do it goes up another couple of pence. Now I just set a target to reach and when it does, it goes, with a lot less emotion, unfortunately we are not machines and we most definitely can not pick tops and bottoms, if we get near great does make you feel good for a few minutes.

Sorry about that accidently hit return button. XCH seems quite similar to other low volume shares, which increase on positive news then slowly decline over the following months until more news is released. So I think in the next couple of weeks I will buy more when it next dips and then sell off on positive news, which im sure is due and hope for a similar jump as last time when it went to 150. Im sure the share price will steadily increase over time, but I should be making more of the opportunities this share gives and make a little extra pocket money rather than just keep watching the share price go up then down. Cheers

Hi ElProfessor,

Yes Chequemate my friend is very confident the company is going places and expanding. No reason to dis-believe him but experience has taught me not to be to excited. Never the less i'm in here for at least 2 to 3 years and will see what happens then. Im hoping to bump in to him again in the next couple of months and will have a serious word as the last time we met he told me he would let me know of any upcoming events. Don't know if he is privy to trading updates but I will encourage him to seek out any information possible. Cheers PP

Have been following NET for a while eventually buying in 3-6 months ago, as a norm I try and avoid AIM as I have a few to many disasters. I actually got in to NET through an acquaintance who works there, had a look at the fundamentals which were very good but didn't like the spread so left it for the time being (that was at 28p), then I saw a bit institutional buying in. What actually did it for me is when I next bumped in to my acquaintance we talked about the company, he just enthuses about the company and he has been there 7/8 years, couldn't believe how passionate he was and normally he is a right grumpy sod. So I bought in at 36p, better late than never. Like you say its just a nice steady upward movement and lets hope it stays that way. Would love it if they joined the main listing.

That was a very nice rise today on normal volume, unless there are some large buys in the back ground which we are not yet privy too. This share does amuse me with its large drops and rises, anybody got any thoughts on that ?

Great prediction and a nice little rise, lets hope for many more. Good call

Lets hope they're holding back to tell us all of a large export order. Well we have to stay positive.

That's good news ElProf, we could do with some good news to lift it out of the current doldrums it seems to be in.

Nothing unusual today then, Ftse goes slightly up so XCH goes slightly down. We need more of those Ftse down days !!

held up very well considering the very large drop in the Ftse.

ElProfessor I'm sure it is only the start of bigger and better dividends, something is always better than nothing. I'm also sure it helped with the share price jump in late March with the re-introduction of the dividend.
