Was it a buy or a sell??"

[patviera] 25/9/2016 15:28

I listened to podcast from JTYes he's v impressive and the complete opposite to KD

[blackss] 25/9/2016 14:42

I think that we all worked out exactly what was wrong years ago and sold up....lol
Why does he even bother :-) You cant help but draw similarities between Daley and Corbyn. Both seem to rule with the backing of those around them but hated by everyone else and still can't see or accept it. pat, listen to the pod cast by Justin Tooth then listen to Daley and you can see exactly where its all gone wrong here.

Judith sussed KD out v quicklyNo wonder she wanted to oust him via an EGMShe said he just didn't have the capability to run a small public companyWell,she was proved absolutely right

[patviera] 25/9/2016 08:26

What's interesting is weeks before KD bought a few million shares at mid market price(at all time low) he issues a profit warningAnd weeks after he bought his few million shares he announces late stage disposals talks!! And funnily enough he is up 100,000 on his shares!!!He is no fool KDHe forgoes LTIP as shares need to get to 20p...impossibleSo he gets a 80k bonus instead when ekt haven't made a pennyThe bloke is a genius at looking after himself!!!

Absolutely agree jugger, Hartest was a great buy, it fitted right in with the rest of EKT and pushed the share price here up to nearly 50p. Unfortunately it was systematically wrecked once Geoff Spink left simply because no one else had the slightest idea how to run a successful forward looking company.

[jugger123] 24/9/2016 17:21

Hartest was a profitable business, the only thing that changed was the board, in the first year that hartest was part of the group it produced over 40 % of the group profit, it was not the buying of the Hartest group the problem, it's the same problem that now haunts this company, the monkeys at the top, except they are not fed on peanuts.

Then Pat, why did you buy 2m shares in Aug?

[patviera] 23/9/2016 16:38

Anyone think Daleys bonus was deserved??I heard there wasn't one private investor at the AGMDaley sees that as a successI think it's damning of his failure at EKT and shows that private shareholders had enough of him shafting themPure and utter greed80k on top of 220k salary and LTIP at all time low in shares!!

[patviera] 23/9/2016 12:26

I will send your thoughts to d and a and tell them that most shareholders are disgusted that KD can get a bonus for a sub par performance

Morning Blackie :-) do you see where i am coming from ? If the company is the target of a takeover particularly from the management you want the share price as low as possible but you also want to discourage other bidders. Best way to do that is sell off the parts that the other bidders would see as attractive to asset strip and sell to recoup initial cash outlays..That may explain the inexplicable ie: what the hell is D&A up too letting Daley convert divisions into cash to pay remunerations ?
Personally on reflection i think that is already too far beyond Management's comprehension here, i think they think in much simpler terms......Doh we have run out of money again !! quick sell something.
I do also detect a slight panic here in so much as the sudden rush to invest a few bob into core products seems to have been brought about by the start of a slow realisation that Chuckit is a dead duck already. Is it possible for a penny to drop any slower :-)

[blackss] 23/9/2016 10:57

pat
Did you ask Daley what he did to deserve a bonus/gratuity payment ? or any of them come to that. Seems to me it makes JSOP or any type of bonus schemes completely irrelevant if you give out bonuses regardless ie not linked to performance .

[patviera] 22/9/2016 22:04

Cos they would want a man on the board with a big stakeNot sure why they sanctioned a bonus for a sub par performance but if another bonus is awarded there will be more than one derivative action taking place!!!!

[spec7] 22/9/2016 19:55

When we have all finished telling each other what a fool Daley is we need to then ask why would D&A put a man on the board and sanction the bonuses here, and sanction the breakup of the company and asset strip it for cash ? Presumably the share price dropping on a reduction of assets does not bother them and in so doing removing the attraction to an outside buyer by asset stripping the group themselves seems part of the plan. Question is why ?

[castleford tiger] 22/9/2016 18:15

If he was line managed be long gone !

[patviera] 22/9/2016 17:41

Agreed CTThey got into the mess they had 9m in debtI introduced d and a which wiped out 3m debtThey sold off 5m of subsidiaries which means 8m was wiped offSo what the hell have they done except sold off the Crown Jewels and diluted Us to bitsWhy should we pay for daley to spend all year in court with a disgruntled shareholder?!!Argggggghhhhhhhh

[castleford tiger] 22/9/2016 16:50

a return to cash positive by selling off an asset.............has to be for me the lowest point ever.
As a NED myself I am shocked.

Disgraceful.

Tiger

[patviera] 22/9/2016 15:22

Got to be honestI've held significant stakes in a number of companies 3 to 6 pct in dwha spsy itu pst bsg gld amongst othersAnd this is by far the worse management I've ever come acrossThey are so greedy and have a total disregard for any shareholder except the 2 that keep them in their jobsThey should be ashamed of themselves

[spec7] 22/9/2016 13:27

Not sure about that Graham ? they seem to launch Chuckit several times a year :-)

[graham1ty] 22/9/2016 12:48

They used to highlight sales of new products ( defined as launched within the last three years). After years of paying for 40 Engineers in Cambridge, and producing no new products, have they quietly dropped this metric ?

[spec7] 22/9/2016 11:34

Wake up call for Mr pat viera.....

Dont be here in a year with an share price of tuppence moaning about how the bleeding obvious has happened and its not fair.
