Bede Share Discussion Threads

Hello all....

just had a look on a competitor site and saw that Quarter 4 & prelim
results last year were published around January 18.
Can I presume, therefore that this financial year's 4th Q performance is to be revealed imminently? Or can Bede delay results'publication for many weeks??
Just desperate now to know if the co. has a future - or not. I hold a modest
amount of shares.
Best regards all.

Any word on the street about these?

I can understand that is why you sold ie were no longer prepared to take the risk. What I don't understand is why you continue to post on here as the remaining shareholders are only too aware I am sure that a small company like Bede is high risk but still potentially high reward.

The point is ....is that anyone who buys this stock risks losing their entire investment as there is clearly a high risk (supported by the view of KPMG) and highlighted by the massive decline in share price that the recivers will be called in!!

BIKWIK - he's hardly going to want to sell them on at the same or a lower price, is he? ;0)

[bikwik] 18/12/2007 12:28

The way i see it is that which ever market maker bought my 300,000 shares the other day is now trying to get the price up (and has succeeded so far) so he can suck some punters in to buy them off him at a higher price than he gave me.

plus markets website showing 370,000 shares traded - presumably buys given price up?

[bikwik] 18/12/2007 10:56

Ricky...they marked this up before the 500 share trade.....Also, who in their right mind would bother with £15.50 worth....ugghh??

MM have marked this up on a 500 sell? What a hoot - MM induced dead cat bounce to put it on the leader board and sucker in some other poor mugs.

Sounds like sour grapes to me - why sell when imo the only way is up?!

[bikwik] 18/12/2007 08:53

Would any market makers wish to confirm or deny this ....i dare you

[bikwik] 18/12/2007 08:46

You know why this is going up don't you. No one is actually buying this. Its just market makers are marking the price up to try and get some sucker to buy some stock so they make a turn. I know this because i sold 300,000 shares a few days ago!

The lower it goes the easier it will be for the large American semiconductor manufacturer to come in and take control.
Bede made its mistakes 4 to 5 years earlier as they did not have a long term plan in place, managers were put in place on the back of friendships and not on experiance, or market knowledge. Smaller products were dropped for the bigger units, as there was more money in those, and lately they have gone back to the old trusted units to get the money in again.
I'm glad I got out when I did.

Personally i think there is a high risk that this goes into administration.

The problem is cash flow. They need the continued support of their bankers. So far they still have this......though in the current enviroment??

They need a steady stream of small to med size orders, rather than the occasional sporadic larger one.

Also, their accountants KPMG...have stated for the 2nd time that their is "significant doubt on the Groups ability to continue as a going concern".

They are supposedly in talks with certain parties which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the company. However, this has been going on at least since 13 July (if not before). This suggests that whoever these people are have already walked away. The share price is at all-time lows and is either a complete bargain or is telling a story.....ie this is going under. Take your pick.

sold down the river they have been working on this for ages they do not give a toss about small shareholders just what they can get for the new team. i thought they where working in the best interest off shareholders think not

One big sell on day of third quarter announcement,after shares had initially moved up on the results has affected confidence and people have jumped on selling bandwagon.IMO there is now no bid premium in shareprice even though the company is in bid talks.The shareprice is below where it was before bid talks were announced.Lack of liquidity in shares is not helping.

Not long now for a last ditch rise before being taken out for a pittance>

[abergele] 23/11/2007 23:39
