Posted at 03/8/2019 19:12 by rar100 code12,I read about the chap that was bankrupted and feel very sorry for him especially if he would be looking at 3 to 4 million if he had held his holding to now. Awful. My holding cost about 4k in June last year at about 36p and so I'm happy with the investment - so far... Well I have read the proposal document and presume the sensible thing to do is to sell a proportion of EKT shares via the tender offer which may be 65p as stated or whatever is the price at the time (hopefully not less than I paid). My Interactive Investor platform states interims are on 19.09.19, but the document says the results are expected in October.... I guess that I'm going to have to check the EKT website in September to see what they say re: the tender offer etc. It would be good to know views on Checkit - the product and the new proposed company and also if shareholders are intending to sell shares via the tender offer. |
Posted at 01/8/2019 14:27 by rar100 My this board has got busy and pretty nasty sometimes...I'm someone who doesn't know the history/background to the past of EKT and a fairly new investor via a tip from Investors Chronicle. I would welcome views as to this latest development, I don't know if it's good or bad. I know Bulgin products and was one reason, probably the main reason why I invested and have read a little here from people not thinking too much of Checkit. So I'm not sure what to do! I have made a small profit and notice the share price lower today (but today is a bad market day), should I sell? I printed off the blurb but yet to digest it all, not at all sure what 'returning majority of net proceeds to shareholders by tender offer entails... I look forward to comments and good luck all |
Posted at 06/7/2019 10:07 by code12 breaker roddiemac2.your sticks and stones ,your playground comments, probably one of the losers here .________ Well done EKT , a great company , Bulgin is doing great . Its all due to hard work for the team . The main man Keith is a genius , turning this round from 5 pence to 50 pence is astounding So some investors have lost money ,so what .it was their own risk , no-one made them invest in the company .no sympathy here at my door . Those with the bottle to stay in at the 5 pence area are the rewarded ones . Thankyou Keith , I can see these being 100 pence within a year or so . |
Posted at 24/6/2019 09:19 by blackss Good old investor chronicle. That will be the kiss of death then :) |
Posted at 23/6/2019 14:32 by rar100 Long in-depth article in Investors Chronicle on EKT, all very positive and a buy recommendation.If someone with digital access to IC could post it here, that would be great. |
Posted at 04/4/2019 11:31 by gtibruce This latest Money Week report might allay any fears or worries about Italy imploding and spoiling part of our European exports going forward >Italy and the EU can reach a compromise, although it’ll cost Germany I don’t think that Italy will trigger a sovereign bond crisis in the eurozone. The Italians have learned from the experience of both the Greeks and the British. They are also in a very different position to both of those countries. The EU does not want to lose Britain and it did not want to lose Greece. But at a push, it can cope with either of them leaving. By the end of the Greek crisis, all those years ago (it really was – I woke up the other day and realised it’s been nearly seven years since Mario Draghi’s “whatever it takes” speech – I can’t believe it), the EU was ready to cut Greece loose. Then, ultimately, Greece stayed in the euro by choice (not much of a choice, admittedly, but it was a choice). As for Brexit, it’s clear that the EU will take any opportunity to avoid the hassle of the UK leaving. But whatever happens with us, we don’t represent an existential threat to the EU simply because we don’t use the euro. (And we’ve already agreed deals that mean the eurozone financial system can still use the City’s derivatives trading facilities – that could have blown things sky-high for everyone, which is one reason that a deal was done sharpish, regardless of red lines or posturing in other areas.) Italy is different. Italy is critical to the ongoing existence of the EU. If Italy were to leave, it would be very hard to see any scenario in which the euro would not implode. Italy is one of the biggest issuers of government debt in the world, and the biggest in the eurozone. Do you fancy the financial system’s chances if that sovereign borrower defaults or re-denominates its debt? Nah, I don’t either. So the EU can only play so much hardball with Italy. On the other hand, of course, if any of this were to happen, things wouldn’t be great fun for Italy either. No one with any savings in Italy wants to go back to using the lire. All that Italy really wants is for the euro to be more like the lire, and for the Italian government to be able to spend as much money as it likes without being told off by the EU authorities. So if you think about it, there’s an easy compromise in ready reaching distance here. Italy isn’t opposed to the EU – it just wants to wrestle it away from having a “hard” money fetish towards being more inclined to “soft” money policies. Low interest rates, permanent quantitative easing – that sort of thing. And let’s be honest here: most countries in the eurozone would be more than happy with that, France in particular (where the populists might not be in charge, but are certainly more vocal on the streets than anywhere else). The only real sticking point is Germany, because it sees itself as paying for all this. So it strikes me that the path of least resistance for the EU is to strike a deal with the Italians. You then bet on the Germans feeling sufficiently bound by the rules and a responsibility towards the EU cause to essentially just suck it up. If they don’t – well, you cross that bridge when you come to it. So what does this mean for investors? Read the whole of this article on the MoneyWeek website. Until tomorrow, John Stepek Executive editor, MoneyWeek |
Posted at 23/3/2019 13:17 by hatfullofsky Rar100 - New investor or new to EKT ?I think EKT will rise but I have not committed significant fund .... yet.It's high risk and I prefer to see the numbers before commuting more funds. |
Posted at 16/2/2019 16:44 by rar100 Hello IamBV,Many thanks for the info, yes it does have a chequered history and I can see how many investors will have not liked a lot of the co's actions (and some still don't) I hope you read the article in Inv. Chronicle, you may like what you read. I have taken a hit from Plus500, FDEV and Petrofac, I'm selling Petrofac & Plus at loss and will put what's left into EKT. FDEV I'm waiting for year end results, probably will sell and put that £££ |
Posted at 16/2/2019 16:11 by iambv Hello rar100,I have been invested here for 8 years and at one time my investment was down 85%. The company had let Neil Ricketts go and he started up Versarien, using ideas that they possibly could have used. Survival seemed to depend on selling off bits of the company. I had virtually written them off. The directors put a lot of store in Checkit, their new venture, but this project was very slow to get going. Luckily Bulgin, Their best asset, started to make much more money, much of which was poured into Checkit. It is fair to say that many investors thought that this was a bad ploy but the company may have got lucky with what is a very simple idea and momentum in the product seems to be building. Who knows? Well my original investment is now up, albeit only 24%, but I am prepared to hang in here because it could just happen that Checkit becomes very big. Also the share could have have good defensive qualities when markets deteriorate because of the ever-increasing importance of temperature monitoring and control associated with food safety. BV |
