Is this one due a bounce? Seems like many of the other small caps are.

[knowing] 07/11/2008 15:46

A few buyers appearing maybe sensing the bottom.

[knowing] 14/10/2008 12:09

"EXC plc posted a first-half pretax loss narrowed to 250,000 pounds from 664,000 pounds a year ago, based on revenue from continuing operations of 756,000 pounds.
EXC -- which now only has one trading subsidiary, Excalibur Ventures -- said
it expects to report a loss on continuing operations before tax for the full
year but added the group is now well positioned to advance to its next level of
development."

IMO

[haff1] 25/9/2008 10:06

... or even some information.....

About time we saw some action here.

Well not alot happening her at present. May slowly increase my stake at these prices. Risk reward does often favour the brave.

[tornadodown] 15/8/2008 15:22

Someone sniffed a bargain.

[tornadodown] 01/8/2008 13:50

Topvest especially at this price.

[topvest] 08/7/2008 09:03

Buying opportunity for the brave?

[tornadodown] 25/6/2008 23:18

Let's state some facts here then;

1. I have shown my interest in EXC by starting a thread. As yet I have no position but will be taking one when I can buy the amount of stock i am looking for.

2. I do my research and i am not responsible should a stock that I see value in double or treble. One has to look at history and decide if your investment value does multiply exponentially in a short time if one should take profit or not. That is what trading is all about.

3. I look at buying stocks that have been driven down and have a business model which I think will rebound.

4. If you are stupid enough to buy a stock that doubles and continue to hold then you should not be trading. Stocks do not go up in a straight line.

5. Sometimes it is not my intention to see all and sundry descend upon a stock which I have bought however it does show that my investment criteria is correct.

6. We do not need people like you advising us when we are grown up enough to make our own decisions.

[tornadodown] 25/6/2008 22:06

That is a very childish acusation to make and I would suggest you be very careful.

[8trader] 25/6/2008 22:05

I'd ignore comments made by TD here.

Look at his BSN thread and you'll see these new threads on decimal
stocks is his way of pumping and dumping stocks he wants out of.

Be warned.

[tornadodown] 24/6/2008 10:54

Well it depends on a few things K. It would certainly be a good start to see the Directors add to their stakes in this one and to improve on the news flow. It is a very low price where we all know if good news arrives it could quite easily double.

[knowing] 23/6/2008 23:53

Thanks for the new thread TD now with the new approach maybe this stock will achieve a sensible value.

Trading

In 2007 Excalibur Ventures Limited ("Excalibur") expanded its business from its
core procurement services into two further specific areas. These are heavy
equipment rental and specialised oil procurement services. During the course of
2007, Excalibur's traditional procurement business stabilised at a level lower
than before, due in part to the relocation of its principal customer's buying
operations. We have maintained this level up to the present date.

However, Excalibur's rental business, which rents out heavy plant and machinery
for infrastructure projects, has expanded from a small pilot programme to a
full scale operation whose benefits should be seen in the coming years. In
addition, Excalibur spent a significant amount of time in 2007 doing the
groundwork for its specialised procurement services to the oil sector by
forming relationships, marketing and building a broad contact base. It is a
common feature of this type of specialised procurement that the gestation
period is considerably longer than we have been used to, typically between six
and twelve months, and occasionally longer. We anticipate our first orders will
be received in the second half of 2008. We hope that with all the hard work put
into this area, future orders will grow steadily thereafter.

Prospects

Though the board is disappointed with the Group's results for the 2007
financial year with the figures down from historical levels, we believe that
through a combination of the closure of DCI, which was positioned in a
declining market, and the hard work which has gone into the three areas
mentioned above, we have put in place the foundation on which to develop a more
stable business that can continue its growth through to the next level of
development.
