Gofor it! Im holding 5 mil now lol.....I must be mad!!!

Top up! 1100000. couldnt resist lol

I have seen the Metrocity in London. I saw it on a roundabout nr jct 2 M4. Maybe they were doing a test run

Does anybody else think this my fly north this time with a bit of good news?

lol! if that the reason then we are in for a big rise! He looks 1 smooth character. maybe its just a bounce after a downward spiral. who knows? its a nice rise though especially with no news.

Come on guys! Its certainly not buy volume that's sending this share north! But there maybe some truth in what Turog is saying about the new CEO. It does worry me though that there has been no Director deals and especially at this price! I wish i had some spare cash right now! I know where I would be putting it. I wont be able to make AGM but if anyone who is going would kindly ask a question for me or can answer it themselves I would be very appreciative..... Q. Why Dont Optare have a coach in their product itinerary? Thanks guys!

Nice to see the insertion of a new CEO has made an impact on the share price lol

Good or bad appointment? Well he definitely has some experience so lets just hope he has some contacts. they say things come in threes!..... we have good looking buses, we now have a good looking CEO, now lets hope we have a good looking share price! pleeeeeease!!!!

Great find and looks promising.

but nothing we dont know about. http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/ashok-leyland-s-uk-arm-to-reduce-dependency-on-one-market-113082600473_1.html

Yeah your spot on! I think most of think the same about this company and its potential but just seems to fall flat. I cant wait for the D/D and sounds like they may have a few more new models up their sleeve. I cant understand why they don't build a coach too. I think export news is just around the corner but! we have been saying this for months lol. Enjoy your weekend Optarians

With the consolidation of site and turnaround behind us, it is time for the Company to deliver profitability. This will be driven by the product pipeline including, the Double Decker and other new products for the export market in 2014. The Board anticipates that the UK market will be flat in the near future but growing opportunities exist in the Middle East, South East Asia and African countries. There are number of contracts that Optare is participating in overseas markets and we are awaiting outcomes that, if positive, could, in the Board's view, significantly change the outlook for the business. We are confident that our quality, unique design and life cycle cost will enable us to win some major tenders in the international market. The Board looks forward to a profitable future with the successful launch of the new products, increasing demand and participation in the international market given the successful integration with Ashok and recognition of the company's low carbon technology.

I like the sounds of this......The 8-13 ton is our primary participation market but is only 40% of the overall UK market. To reduce dependency on one section and one market and to improve top line growth, the Company intends to diversify the product range and participate in various bus segments across both the UK and Europe in the future. Optare continues to invest in new products to secure the long term growth of the Company. There are more exciting products that the Company will launch in the FY 2013-14 financial year to expand the range and enable Optare to compete in more than 90% of the market segment in UK.s.

I know im forever the optimist but we should surely see a rise when the new CEO is announced ................. t hen again!!!

Very well said!!!!

Cant believe i managed to get a buy in @ 0.32p with this news.Oh! wait!!!!! i just forgot for a moment!...........good news sends this share south! lol
