02/5/2017 09:23 | Think I'll hold fire before my purchase and try and gauge the support level here. RichJP - I'm not sure how to message you - I have looked everywhere on this app and there doesn't seem to be a function to do so. Any ideas? | tacticaltrader | |
02/5/2017 08:50 | The share price is saying the agm statement, even if it contains a TU, will be uninspiring. I hope 2017 doesnt turn into a two step backward for us. May find support at around 145p. | double double | |
01/5/2017 11:24 | TT, I have done OK elsewhere where Kestrel have been involved. Two companies were taken over at decent premiums. They do not always get it right, but who does, however overall they seem to do well. I would be interested to see your list either if you post it here or send a me a message. I know of a few but nowhere near as many as you and I will list them here later. | richjp | |
01/5/2017 11:19 | I think having a director on the BOD is a bit double edged. Obviously there are times when legally they cannot buy or sell, but on the other hand they always have much more information than is available to PIs, so presumably the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. For example lots of clients want to keep their names confidential. A board member will know who those clients are and what the potential for long term business is. They will also know the prospect list, the quality of it and how soon deals are likely to close. That is information that I would expect no company to make public. They will also know if there are any acquisitions being considered if even they are long term possibilities and any future funding requirements that might be needed. I think that the boundary between what is inside information from a legal perspective and what is inside information from a practical perspective is often a grey area. | richjp | |
30/4/2017 20:03 | I now have a list of 19 companies that Kestrel are involved with , the good , the bad and the ugly and will start doing my own research as to which ones I feel comfortable with. | tacticaltrader | |
30/4/2017 19:59 | Friendly.......... Anyhow I've been working my way through Kestrel's holdings and GHT seems to be in demand going forward hence I will start there. In reply to Rich - Kestrel's Oportunities fund is just that but how can they swoop at opportune moments if they are tied to the close period, significant announcements etc by having bods on the board. They seem to be a proactive bunch (unlike other fund managers out there) and hopefully they know when the time is right to back off and let the share price do the talking whilst hopefully topping up at the same time. | tacticaltrader | |
30/4/2017 19:33 | Tactical trader just stumbled across Gresham what a lot of rubbish do your own research. | qantas | |
30/4/2017 14:59 | A Kestrel director, Max Royde, was actually on the GHT board for a number of years, until standing down within the last twelve months. That never stopped Kestrel acquiring stock during that time and I don't think that will be any different in the future. After the major shareholders, the free float in GHT is quite small, so if Kestrel wanted to acquire a bigger stake they would probably have had to have paid over the odds at the time. I agree with your rationale for the future by the way. | richjp | |
30/4/2017 11:05 | Just stumbled across GHT whilst researching Kestrel's fund. Compared to other holdings they have value wise (i.e. AMO) their holding here is a good deal smaller. I wonder if having a connected person on the board - currently Errington - is hampering them from picking up cheap stock when perhaps they are privy too a deal being struck or such like. If that is the case it would be reassuring to see them increasing their holding after he has left the building.I will be making my first purchase next week and at this price will probably look to acquire 40,000 shares total over time. The rationale is that this is now a "Global" business with very sticky contracts (once these financial institutions switch over they are very unlikely to look elsewhere ) and has to be a massive takeover target for the much larger capitalised companies out there. Well here's hoping anyway! | tacticaltrader | |
24/4/2017 16:19 | I am pretty certain someone posted here or maybe on III at the time of the AGM about future announcements of client wins and how they would use RNS and press releases on their website. Last year they announced a Q1 TU but on 7 April. So much for this new communications strategy, they cannot keep up with what they did last time. If they do end up with a few lines disguised as Q1 TU along with an AGM statement next week, it will only prove how they still dont have a "communications strategy". I am pleased other shareholders also want regular updates from the company. | double double | |
24/4/2017 15:49 | dd, I was at the investor presentation and I cannot recollect any commitment that tier 1 clients would be announced by RNS. There was a cross table discussion with various opinions expressed. GHT acknowledged that their communication could be improved and they seemed to listen to one or two suggestions. My complaint was that there was no autumn trading update. I would hope to see a Q1 trading update and maybe there will be one on the morning of the AGM next week. I was not intending to go to the AGM this year as I usually do,as I felt comfortable with the way things are going after the investor presentation. If there is no TU on the morning of the AGM however, I may go along and ask why. | richjp | |
24/4/2017 13:30 | I thought we had learned from the investors presenatation that tier 1 clients wins would be announce via rns and any other via press release on their website. We are only weeks away from half year and we "seem" very quiet on the announcement of new client wins front, I had expected a step change in client wins this year. | double double | |
24/4/2017 11:40 | DD. By "no new client wins" I presume you mean "no announcement of new client wins". I am still not sure that we know what this company will announce. | jadeticl3 | |
24/4/2017 08:55 | It was hanging for far too long and with no new clients wins for a while not surprise by the drop this morning. | double double | |
18/4/2017 10:08 | Never known this board to get this controversial. Obviously feelings are still high regarding the past. All the more reason for this Board to start delivering for long suffering shareholders. In the meantime, FINTECH seems to have gone mainstream, as both the BBC and SKY news were covering FINTECH week here in the UK just before the holidays. I mentioned some months ago I hope Gresham do not mess up this opportunity/wave. We should be making the most of this FINTECH revolution now and in the next couple of years. £100m market cap is still too small for a leading company in a wave of a banking revolution. | double double | |
14/4/2017 08:35 | richjp Your recollection of the past events is somewhat coloured, seems that you think that as Errington was CEO then all that was good was down to him. If you had real inside knowledge you would know this is not the case. He got the CEO job by default (nobody else was a candidate) because GHT was in such a mess (created by Wlaton-Green and assisted by him). I accept that Errington can control costs and manage cash flow but that is really it. In reality he had no choice but to stay and try and turn things around because the reputation of GHT and his was in tatters, as Financial Director he was hugely cuplable. GHT survived because of the legacy revenues and the activity of Max Royde who engineered the appointment of Ken Archer in 2010. It was from this point that GHT had vision and leadership which in 2012 resulted in the launching of CTC in 2012. I would also point out that no matter how good (or bad) the board of directors are, they are relatively powerless unless supported by a talented and hard working staff. Whilst the current board I am sure can steer GHT to great things, it is the staff that will make it so. GHT has come a long way under the tutelage of Ken Archer and the great staff he has attracted. | gottafly | |
13/4/2017 17:22 | On a more positive note, Techinvest have reiterated their strong hold opinion in their current issue. | richjp | |
13/4/2017 17:22 | If we noticed this then you can be sure institutions will also notice it and would have made enquiries and got answers. Unfortunately we will be the last to know. Its just the way it goes. But hopefully we will also know and before or at time of the agm. | double double | |
13/4/2017 17:21 | Gottafly, Following this week's announcement I hope you will finally stop slagging off Chris Errington. You have done it many times before and it seems to be some kind of personal antagonism that you have. For others that might want to listen I think he did an excellent job whilst he was CEO. He was the third CEO in the space of about two years. He provided continuity for both the existing customer base and the staff of GHT. He managed to steer the company through a difficult period with limited finance. He was also in charge when the first all important CTC deals were signed and also when those orders were successfully technically implemented. I think that is quite some achievement in the circumstances. With regard to what you refer to as GHT's almost extinction, it was the whole concept of RTN that turned out to be flawed in my opinion. I have hands on experience with nostro payments and although RTN seemed a great idea at the time it turned out not to be the case. With the wonderful benefit of hindsight I thank I can see why. I think the directors were right to pursue it given the reception that RTN initially received. It was not the marketing of RTN that was wrong, it was that the market did not want the service. Certainly I agree there may be no place for CE in the future with GHT, but the company might not be in the strong position I believe it is now, without his efforts. | richjp | |
13/4/2017 16:53 | Yes DD it looks very odd and its been going on for days now. | 4-10 | |
13/4/2017 14:00 | Plenty of RNSs but not the ones we are looking for. Both purchases and sales have been going through at 155.00p. Something doesnt feel right, not a normal market. I hope the share price is not being deliberately kept depressed for another friendly fund raising. | double double | |
11/4/2017 09:32 | I agree that Errington had a role to play but he was very responsile, with Walton-Green, in bringing GHT to its knees and almost extinction. He has been very richly rewarded for his incompetence, I accept he was necessary for a while due to his knowledge of all the 'c@ck ups'. Anuway let us look forwards to the future and put Errington firmly in the past because that is where he belongs. | gottafly | |
11/4/2017 09:01 | You have to give credit to Chris and others for getting CTC off the ground, they did the heavy lifting. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for a small company to get a leg in and replace old products in dinasour like companies that they have to deal with. | double double | |
11/4/2017 08:55 | Great news that we now have a another proper non executive and given his background, including Smartstream, he will I am sure make a very positive contribution. Another appointment that confirms the positive direction of GHT. I for one will not miss Errington who was competent at best and woefully out of his depth. Another tick in the box. | gottafly |
