I am very disappointed in the results and have sold out today. I will update the thread header when I get the chance.

This has continually disappointed and is extending its run. Commiserations to all holders.

I wouldn't trust the management as far as I could throw them.

[saucepan] 06/9/2012 12:46

The Company is somewhat inconsistent with its results release dates, but half year results should be due soon.

It has been very quiet here. Holding patiently.

Encouraging set up results...and £1M sounds good.

[battlebus2] 31/5/2012 20:22

Yes thanks a very positive, £1 million sounds easily achievable.

js8106455: thanks for that! Yes, a terrific interview. Liam Swords comes over very well, I thought.

The end of the interview talks of a W H Ireland buy note out today with forecast profits for 2012 of £1 million - which Liam Swords says he is happy with; great stuff.

I'll put a link to the interview in the thread header.

Came across this interview with AEC Education, its worth a listen:

[saucepan] 31/5/2012 12:39

I feel satisfied with those results and the positive tone of the outlook statement. I shall remain holding.

Guru: sorry to be slow to acknowledge your post. I have been travelling. No, I don't know what to make of the recent activity.

The Company has said results will be 'early May'. They have also confirmed they 'will be ahead of current market expectations'.

We should get chapter and verse next week therefore, as well as press and analyst coverage. Fingers crossed this will all lead to a positive re-rating.

[battlebus2] 02/5/2012 20:02

Yep had to be a matching trade imv so may explain the drop in price so hopefully we will move back up over the coming days.

[guru] 02/5/2012 19:38

wow - is that a 600,000 transaction? Buy or sell? There seems to a lot of volume here over the last few days.

[guru] 02/5/2012 09:40

seems quite a steep correction over the last few days. Saucepan - any thoughts?

[guru] 01/5/2012 11:05

Seems to be a lot of activity today - appear to be all sells?

[saucepan] 01/5/2012 07:53

Battlebus: yes. I noticed there was no volume associated with the recent drift down.

[battlebus2] 01/5/2012 07:49

Yep let's hope it'll reverse that swing in the shareprice over the last couple of days.

[saucepan] 01/5/2012 07:38

An interesting appointment of CEO for Singapore Operations has been announced today. It shows ambition and Singapore is a lucrative market.

[battlebus2] 19/4/2012 18:42

Ta Saucepan your new board looks great. A fine day for AEC.

[guru] 19/4/2012 12:47

Thanks Saucepan, certainly a good day for AEC and a good day to have a new thread!

[saucepan] 19/4/2012 09:43

From the Company's website (correct as at 19 April 2012):

[saucepan] 19/4/2012 09:39

I have taken the liberty of opening a NEW THREAD, seeing as the information in the header here has not been updated since 2004.

I will endeavour to keep the new thread up-to-date and informative.

I hope those who have posted here will join me.

Maybe some advance buying ahead of the results and trading update: "The Board looks forward to providing a further update on trading with results, which are expected to be announced in early May."

[saucepan] 19/4/2012 08:51

Some buying interest today.
