I'd be in for some more if it drops down to the 30s. It bounced around this level back in November.

[hybrasil] 16/2/2015 08:04

suspect it will keep ticking lower till they make some money in the USA.

[boadicea] 10/2/2015 15:51

Looking worryingly weak recently ... and possibly about to test recent lows?
We badly need some more good news to support its high rating.

[biker6] 09/2/2015 16:55

looks like going back into the 30s again.

Boadicea - agree with your comment above re aim stocks and the need for constant good news feeds. Small Aim investors can be quick to lose patience and sell and move on. However if you look into the larger investers in Eck, such as Kestrel recently, they are all holding/increasing their stakes. All good things come to those who wait....IMHO

[boadicea] 28/1/2015 21:50

Rather quiet here - like before the last dip a couple of months ago.
In common with many/most AIM stocks it needs a continual drip of good news to keep interest going.

Today's RNS reveals that on 20/01/15 Kestrel Opportunities (Guernsey Portfolios) increased their holding to (22,397,665) that represents 10.04% of ECK held on behalf of clients BNY Mellon and JIM Nominees.
Added late edit :MONI in talks to sell

[mazarin] 22/1/2015 10:25

Perhaps this may be of interest, I recall MONI was once muted as a potential bidder:

Don't think we will see another substantial leg up until we get some news of contract wins in the states.

[mazarin] 12/1/2015 13:58

Its early days yet, it's simply been moved up by the MM's first thing on release of news. Equally ECK may not be so widely held and therefore, unless particularly highlighted in Financial press or subject of favourable comment by analysts, any movement may be subject to a lag. The share price could well respond more positively within the next few trading sessions.

[hybrasil] 12/1/2015 11:19

interesting despite the rns how few trades

[wh1spa] 12/1/2015 09:18

May have been picked up before, but does anyone view the purchase of the freehold (which was brought forward by a few months) as anything other than a cost saving exercise? I would of thought a business with its own premises is a far tidier entity to sell on (for the right price of course)

[mazarin] 12/1/2015 08:12

Well done ECK, its been a bit quiet on Contract news latterly and this should give us a push north on the back of it, although no numbers have been announced. What's notable is that this 4 yr 'call handling' contract is additional to existing contracts already held with TfL and is an excellent example of ECK's ability to maintain and expand their client base across their product range.

[johnthespacer] 12/1/2015 07:38

lol who mentioned news! new contract with transport for London announced this morning!

[septimus quaid] 11/1/2015 21:20

Yes, the big dilemma, to take profits or not?

Trouble is, this company's share price is very news driven. If you take profits, and are out for a time, you might miss out.

This co. feels a nice sized and useful morsel (mark cap £98m) to be taken out at some point.

[biker6] 06/1/2015 14:18

looking a bit toppy now.

[mazarin] 05/1/2015 10:20

Nice to see positive movement first thing and I note ACM was similarly pushed 'north' during early trading today, that I'm assuming is on the back of added interest in this sector.

[mazarin] 28/12/2014 18:25

As expected, to see over 6 days later, a rather 'not surprising' article in today's Financial Press concerning a 'Share tip for 2015' from Luke Johnson, if you're curious see :

[mazarin] 22/12/2014 12:54

World news has recently been 'buzzing' over the suspected disclosure of a major cyber hacking operation allegedly implicating North Korea for delving into the affairs of Sony Picture Entertainments.

The serious and disturbing implications of 'Nation-sponsored hacking' has clearly not been lost on the US government and now The White House has taken a stance.

In my view this raised International awareness can only lead to significant and added interest in products and Companies, such as those provided by ECK and ACM that particularly specialise in supporting SME's, larger Commercial enterprises and even government depts to enable them to identify and combat the threat of cyber crime relevant to their particular business.

Another aspect is, that all Companies and Institutions have a legal 'duty of care' towards their employees and customers alike, quite apart from the obvious necessity to protect their Company's business interests. I'm sure soon that they will have to show they have taken all reasonable steps to protect their customers' identity and employee's or face the real possibility of legal redress, if it is considered they have been too lax or complacent. It may also soon become an essential legal requirement when setting up or conducting a business above a specified size, who knows?

Companies such as ECK and Accumuli, whose sole business model is to provide effective counter measures and financial solutions to combat complex Cyber incursions, stand to become major beneficiaries of this new and disturbing worldwide trend.

In these changing times the days of businesses simply relying on Firewall and Antivirus software is clearly woefully inadequate and is now 'a thing of past'.

Maybe a Christmas Contract Win present is on its way.

Well done Eckoh for another good year

Merry Cristmas all

[johnthespacer] 18/12/2014 11:29

lol i wouldnt think it will see low 30's again unless something terrible happens

[mazarin] 18/12/2014 11:08

Yer right...?

[biker6] 16/12/2014 11:36

looks to be heading back in to low 30s.

[miamigo] 16/12/2014 08:42

It isn't buys or sells that move the share price but buying and selling pressure.

[septimus quaid] 16/12/2014 06:50

Are these parties (Hargreave Hale/Malborough) allowed to accumulate on behalf of another party (suitor) or do they need to declare same?

I have been expecting a fall in Eckoh, only because, overall, the stockmarket has taken such a recent pounding.
